Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Buyers may appear hesitant early in the day, following yesterday’s rapid ascent into the 25,690-750 region. That said, the bullish engulfing candle stick formation encourages us to persist with upside hopes. This prompts us to wait for dips to 25,620-570. On the upside, the 25,750 region is likely to act as hurdle, but 25,900 seems achievable.
