Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view 

The markets stayed under pressure for the second straight session, with the Nifty slipping below its immediate support at the 26,200 level. The markets remained volatile, and the Nifty index formed a Doji candlestick pattern, reflecting indecisiveness among market participants. The key support is placed at the 21-DMA near 26,020, and as long as the index holds above this level, a pullback towards the 26,250–26,300 zone cannot be ruled out. Momentum indicators and oscillators continue to remain in buy mode, suggesting underlying strength. Additionally, the volatility index is still below the 10 mark, keeping the environment comfortable for the bulls.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expectation from 2026 on Gold & silver prices: InCred Money

Stock Market LIVE Updates:

What to expect from 2026:
Gold and Silver could remain bullish, despite interim volatility.
Key drivers cited include:

• Central bank purchases and ETF demand, which continue to absorb physical supply. 
• Geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty, which sustain the safe-haven narrative.
• Silver’s industrial demand and supply deficits, especially for tech and renewable sectors. 
• While the medium- to long-term story is constructive, consolidation and pullbacks are normal after an extended rally.
• Short-term corrections can persist before new trends establish. 

Risks/headwinds:

• Potential strength in global equity markets could reduce immediate safe-haven flows.
• Rate expectations, if the US Federal Reserve stalls further cuts, it could temper precious metal momentum.

When is the right Time to Buy?

 

Investors should not wait for a perfect bottom, because markets rarely offer it in real time. Instead:

 

1. Use Staggered or SIP-style Investing:

 

SIP into digital gold & silver over time can reduce timing risk and help average entry levels, especially during volatile phases. 

 

2. Look Beyond Price to Fundamentals:

 

If geopolitical risk, inflation concerns, or currency weakness persist, the safe-haven case strengthens — suggesting dips could be buying opportunities rather than breakdowns.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market Expert's View

The benchmark Nifty index registered a closing breakout on last Friday, January 2, 2026, setting immediate up targets in around 26,500-26,600 spot levels. It started retracing back from its all time highest levels on Monday amid fresh round of tariff threats by US President over Russian Oils causing panic among Oil and Gas stocks (Reliance Industries down over 4 per cent, dragging markets lower). Going ahead, we continue to maintain bullish view on the Nifty index with buy on dips trading approach by the time index is trading above 26,000 spot levels on closing basis. Contrary to this, a fall below 26000 spot levels will start the fresh round of congestion in 25,700-26,400 spot zone.
