Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 traded lower during the session, extending profit-booking pressure and touching an intraday low of 26,068. However, the index recovered from lower levels to close above the 26,100 mark, indicating the presence of underlying buying interest. The 26,050 zone continues to serve as immediate support, while the psychologically important 26,000 level has emerged as a strong demand area, helping preserve the broader bullish structure. Key moving averages remain intact, signalling that the primary trend continues to be supportive.

Momentum indicators are neutral, with the RSI hovering around 54, pointing to short-term indecision rather than a trend reversal. A sustained move above 26,300 would be required to reinvigorate upside momentum toward the 26,500 level, while a decisive break below 26,000 could trigger a short-term corrective phase toward the 25,900–25,800 zone.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic market sentiment remains cautious with risk-off undertones ahead of Q3FY26 earnings and key US jobs data. While Q-o-Q corporate earnings are expected to improve, FIIs remain risk-averse amid global trade uncertainty.  Profit-booking in autos and financials weighs indices, though selective buying in IT, pharma, and mid-caps did provide some cushion.

Adding to global complexity, China’s export curbs on rare earth heighten supply chain risks. In this macro backdrop, equities are likely to stay range-bound; a “buy-on-dips” strategy focused on large-cap themes appears prudent.
