Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty chart reflects a phase of indecisiveness

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The current chart structure of the Nifty index reflects a phase of indecisiveness among market participants. This sentiment is echoed by both price action and technical indicators.

The 20-day and 50-day EMAs have been trading flat over the last two sessions, indicating a lack of directional momentum. Meanwhile, the daily RSI continues to move sideways, further reinforcing the view of consolidation and uncertainty in the near term.

Going ahead, the zone of 25,070 - 25,100 will act as an important hurdle for the Nifty. While on the downside, the zone of 24,860 - 24,830 will act as a crucial support for the index. A decisive move on either side will lead to a trending move in the index.
