Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty50- technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The index faced firm rejection at the 25,600–25,650 supply zone, aligned with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement and the 50-DEMA, reinforcing it as a key resistance band. It is now hovering near the crucial 25,250–25,300 support zone, where the 0.618 retracement and 200-DEMA converge, making this a critical make-or-break level for the near term.
 
Technically, momentum has weakened with RSI slipping below 50, reflecting fading bullish strength. Unless Nifty reclaims 25,650 on a sustained closing basis, the bias remains sell-on-rise. A breakdown below 25,250 could trigger fresh long unwinding and push the index toward 24,900.
 
From a derivatives perspective, everything else remains aligned, while options data reflects a cautious bias with a low PCR of 0.67. Heavy call open interest at 25,500–25,800 continues to cap the upside, whereas relatively lighter put buildup near 25,300–25,400 suggests fragile support. Overall, Nifty is positioned between 50-DEMA resistance and 200-DEMA support, and a decisive move beyond 25,650 or below 25,250 will likely determine the next directional trend."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Markets sentiment stays subdued amid persistent US–Iran geopolitical tensions'

Stock Market LIVE Updates:  Indian equity markets are likely to see a flat to mildly positive start, tracking a modest overnight recovery on Wall Street and a constructive tone across Asian markets in early trade. However, the overall undertone is expected to remain cautious, as sentiment stays subdued amid persistent US–Iran geopolitical tensions and firm crude oil prices, which continue to pose a macroeconomic challenge for India. At the same time, ongoing concerns around AI-driven disruptions in global technology stocks are weighing on broader risk appetite. While the rebound in overseas markets offers some comfort heading into the open, geopolitical tensions, fresh tariff-related uncertainty following the US Supreme Court’s rejection of President Trump’s earlier reciprocal tariffs, and lingering AI-led concerns are likely to keep sentiment guarded at higher levels.
