Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic markets remained cautious ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump-era tariffs, with renewed uncertainty over US trade policy prolonging the recent consolidation. Continued FII outflows, rising US and Japanese bond yields, and a weakening rupee weighed on investor confidence.  Mid- and small-cap stocks underperformed the benchmarks, and sentiment was broadly negative across all sectors.

In near term, market sentiment will hinge on the earnings season, while geopolitical developments and global trade conditions remain important influences.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

Nifty spent most of the session grinding lower after failing to hold above the 25,500 support zone in early trade. Intraday price action showed consistent selling on every minor bounce, reinforcing a weak short-term sentiment. The breakdown below 25,200 confirmed continuation weakness, forming a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows. The index is now hovering near its 200-day EMA around 25,163  a critical medium-term support area. A decisive breach of this zone could open the door for stop-loss-driven selling toward 25,000 and lower. RSI has slipped to 28, entering the oversold territory, but the selling pressure remains orderly rather than panic-driven, suggesting controlled distribution rather than capitulation. Momentum remains muted with no visible bullish reversal patterns so far, as all counter-rallies continue to be sold into.
