Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: With the lack of major positive triggers and prevailing uncertainty over U.S. fiscal stability, investors opted for profit-booking and adopted a cautious stance. Selling pressure was widespread as participants awaited more clarity on the India-U.S. trade agreement. Given the current premium valuations and delays in the trade deal, we foresee a phase of short-term consolidation, which may lead FIIs to scale back their positions in the domestic market.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty slipped after two days of consolidation, dragged down by broad-based selling and weakening market breadth. Despite this decline, the short-term trend remains strong, although there is a possibility of a deeper pullback toward the 21-day EMA on the daily timeframe. The negative divergence on the daily RSI has added to the bearish sentiment. If Nifty sustains below 24,700, the correction could extend further, potentially towards 24,300. However, if the index moves back above 24,700, it may signal a return to a consolidation phase.
