Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 witnessed a decisively weak session, closing in the 22,300–22,350 range after a gap-down opening and sustained selling pressure throughout the day. From a technical standpoint, the close below the crucial 22,500 support zone is significant and signals a continuation of the broader downtrend. If the index continues to sustain below this level in the upcoming sessions, it may extend its decline toward 22,000, with further downside potential toward the 21,700–21,750 zone, which represents the next key demand area.

On the upside, the 22,500–22,600 zone now acts as immediate resistance, where the index has faced repeated selling pressure. This is followed by stronger resistance levels at 22,800 (gap area). Momentum indicators remain firmly negative, reinforcing the prevailing weak sentiment. Overall, the bias remains bearish, and a sell-on-rise strategy is likely to persist unless the index manages to reclaim key resistance levels with strong conviction.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amid unresolved global tensions, rising oil prices, and continued FII outflows, the market ended the final trading session of the current financial year on a cautious note. Banking stocks were among the key laggards following the RBI’s new restrictions on banks’ foreign exchange positions aimed at stabilizing the rupee, which led to sharp declines across major private and public sector lenders.

While valuations now appear more favourable after the recent correction, the trajectory of earnings revisions remains the key determinant of market direction. Continued volatility in oil prices and rupee weakness may exert pressure on input costs, increasing the risk of near-term earnings downgrades.
