Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

"Technically, after a gap up open market registered range bound activity. On daily charts it has formed small bullish candle and on intraday charts it is holding uptrend continuation formation. 

 

We are of the view that, 24,375/80,500 would act as a key support zone for the trend following traders. Above the same, the market could move up to 24600-24675/81000-81300. On the other side, dismissal of 24,375/80,500 could trigger a quick intraday correction. Below the same, market could retest the level of 24,300-24,250/80,200-80,000.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Market's momentum is moderating'

"The market has sustained its positive momentum, though the level of optimism has decreased. Continued foreign inflows and record GST collections in April indicate resilience in economic activity, fostering mild hopefulness. A weak dollar and a decline in oil prices have further bolstered FII sentiment. However, the market's momentum is moderating, with action shifting from broad-based movements to stock and sector-specific trends based on results.

Over the past month, the broad market has recouped more than 50 per cent of the losses incurred during the consolidation period from September 2024 to March 2025. Q4 results to date have been sluggish, and there is a thin layer of caution due to border tensions, which could have a short-term impact on the market."
