Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: On Monday, Nifty found support around 22,000 and managed to close above the crucial 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement level of 22,043, derived from the 2022 low of 15,213 to its all-time high of 26,277. The RSI remains in a highly oversold zone at 22 on the daily chart, indicating a possible short-term rebound towards the 400-day EMA at 22,475.
However, the broader trend remains bearish, favoring a sell-on-rise approach unless Nifty decisively closes above 22,600. Immediate resistance is at 22,300, while key support stands at 22,000. If this support is breached on a closing basis, the next support lies at 21,800.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market experienced a gradual recovery from its intraday low, driven by improving economic growth, a rebound in consumption expenditure, and healthy expansion in the agricultural sector, which influenced investor sentiment. With valuations approaching oversold levels, domestic indicators suggest potential for a rebound. However, the longevity of this recovery remains uncertain, contingent on easing global trade uncertainties, which currently show limited signs of improvement.
