Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The markets continued to remain under pressure for the fifth consecutive session, with the Nifty index slipping below the 25,700 mark and forming a bearish candlestick on the daily chart. Although the index attempted a pullback, it faced stiff resistance near the 50-DMA positioned around 25,960 levels. The next crucial support is placed at the 100-DMA near 25,540 levels, and as long as the index holds above this zone, a pullback towards 25,900 levels cannot be ruled out.

However, momentum indicators and oscillators have already generated sell crossovers on both the daily and weekly timeframes, indicating underlying weakness. Moreover, India VIX surged by 16 per cent during the week to close near the 11 mark, which continues to be a cause for concern.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian market remains in a consolidation phase due to weak global cues, rising global bond yields, and persistent FII outflows, all of which weigh on sentiment ahead of the positive Q3 earnings outlook. Domestic risk-off sentiment has intensified amid uncertainty surrounding US-India tariff negotiations and escalating geopolitical tensions.

Nevertheless, domestic GDP growth is expected to remain strong, and Q3 results should indicate a recovery led by midcaps, potentially stabilising investor sentiment. Despite these heightened geopolitical headwinds, the market is likely to trade within a range with a mixed bias.
