Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "Equity markets staged a sharp rebound from the day’s lows as investors pinned their hopes on a revival in domestic demand, supported by the latest GST-driven reforms. Sentiment was further lifted by optimism around the upcoming India–U.S. trade negotiations, which fueled buying at lower levels and reflected renewed confidence in the market’s near-term outlook.  Despite FII outflows, strong DII buying provided a cushion, giving market participants confidence and underscoring domestic liquidity as a key anchor of stability."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "On Tuesday, Nifty found support near its 20-day EMA and closed close to its 10-day EMA, keeping the broader outlook positive as long as it sustains above the 50-day EMA at 24,900. However, significant call writing was witnessed at the 25,300–25,400 zone, where a hanging man candlestick emerged after consecutive buying sessions. This suggests short-term consolidation. For the near term, Nifty is likely to trade in a range of 25,100–25,400, with 25,100 acting as strong support and 25,400 serving as key resistance for the index."
