Stock Market LIVE Updates: Tech view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: On January 3, 2025, Nifty traded within a narrow range of 24,150-23,980, forming a very tight CPR for January 6, 2025. The two-day CPR relationship showed an "inside day," signalling a potential big move ahead. In today’s session, Nifty opened within the CPR but failed to close above it intraday, creating a bearish bias. 

 

Additionally, the RSI on the 15-minute chart consistently stayed below 50, further indicating weakness and a rapid fall. Moving forward, support is expected near 23,600, while resistance lies at 24,000. These technical factors suggest caution, as the market remains poised for volatility, particularly if key support or resistance levels are breached.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: There are already concerns that the forthcoming third quarter earnings could be muted for several sectors due to weak government spending and subdued demand, which is pushing investors, especially the FIIs, to further slash their domestic equity bets. Also, the focus will be on next month's Union Budget announcement and what will be the government's action plan to boost demand and measures to overcome global challenges.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Emerging markets are undergoing consolidation due to uncertainties surrounding new US economic policies, the Fed's hawkish stance on future rate cuts, potential upward revision for CY25 inflation, and a strong dollar, all of which are negatively impacting market sentiment. The primary catalyst for a sharp sell-off in the domestic market appears to be concerns over the human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Additionally, the initial Q3 consensus earnings estimate suggests a potential gradual recovery in domestic corporate earnings, which could explain the domestic market's underperformance compared to global markets led by premium valuation.
