Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty has reclaimed and is sustaining above its 200-day EMA at 25,163, keeping the medium-term structure intact. As long as the index holds above 25,120, the broader setup remains stable with scope for a gradual push toward 25,400-25,500. 

 

A decisive close above 25,600 will be required to confirm a bullish breakout and shift momentum firmly in favour of the bulls. Failure to defend 25,120 may reopen downside pressure toward 25,100. Overall, the outlook remains range-bound to cautiously positive, favouring a buy-on-dips near supports and selling near resistance until a clear directional breakout emerges.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market staged a rebound, supported by signs of relief following President Trump’s positive remarks at the Davos meeting regarding Greenland and tariff. Despite this, market sentiments remained cautious amid sustained rupee weakness and continued FII outflows. The initial set of corporate earnings did little to support current valuation levels. 

 

Nevertheless, investors have not ruled out the potential upside from a robust domestic demand environment, which could become more visible in the upcoming round of quarterly earnings announcements. Looking ahead, markets will closely monitor U.S. GDP growth and core inflation data later today, as well as the BoJ policy decision due tomorrow, for further cues."
