Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'The immediate support for Nifty is placed at 25,600'

Stock Market LIVE Updates:  On the daily chart, Nifty is holding above the 10-day and 20-day SMAs; however, it remains below the 50-day SMA, which continues to act as an intermediate hurdle. The 200-day SMA is placed near 25,300 and is currently serving as broader support.

 

The MACD has turned positive, with the histogram flattening, while the RSI near 51 suggests neutral momentum with a slight upward tilt. The index continues to oscillate between the 0.382 and 0.50 Fibonacci retracement levels of the recent decline, indicating consolidation within a recovery phase. A sustained move above the 50-day SMA would strengthen the bullish momentum. India VIX is placed at 14.17, indicating moderate volatility.

 

The immediate support is placed at 25,600, followed by 25,500, while resistance is seen at 25,820, followed by 25,950.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Traders should brace for typical Nifty expiry-day volatility'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The Indian equity market is likely to open on a cautious note, tracking subdued trends across Asian markets and an overnight sell-off in US equities. The weakness stems from renewed tariff-related uncertainty, coupled with lingering concerns around AI-led disruptions affecting global technology stocks. Investor sentiment remains guarded following former President Donald Trump’s rollout of a 10–15 per cent global tariff framework, effective today. While recent adjustments under the US–India trade arrangement provide some clarity, the move introduces near-term uncertainty for export-oriented sectors and may keep risk appetite measured at the start of the session.

 

Traders should also brace for typical Nifty expiry-day volatility, with choppy price action likely until positions roll over and clearer intraday direction emerges. While the broader sentiment remains constructive on the back of domestic resilience, the market is expected to stay range-bound with elevated volatility unless fresh triggers provide decisive momentum."
