Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Looking ahead, the Nifty is expected to remain in a tight consolidation range, provided it sustains above the key 26,100 support zone. Sustained trade above 26,200 with a decisive closing basis will be crucial to unlock further upside toward 26,300–26,400. Until that confirmation comes, the index may continue to oscillate in a narrow range, reflecting digestion of recent gains rather than distribution. Any dip toward the 26,050–26,100 zone is expected to attract buying interest, keeping the short-term trend biased upward.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market traded in a narrow range and ended flat amid mixed global cues. Selling pressure persisted across most sectors, though financials and FMCG offered marginal support. Going forward, investors are positioning for the next earnings season and monitoring evolving Fed policy expectations, as rate‑cut probabilities are slowly inching up for the January meeting.

While an improving domestic demand outlook provides underlying support, uncertainty around global trade negotiations and the trajectory of the rupee will continue to influence sentiment.
