Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Strong global market cues led the recovery in domestic indices as talks that Trump administration could reverse some tariffs amidst the ongoing global trade tensions buoyed sentiment. Also, local factors such as increase in February PMI index, a sharp fall in rupee, and downtrend in crude oil prices triggered massive buying in the beaten-down technology, realty and telecom shares. However, as the recovery remains fragile due to global uncertainty and FIIs showing no signs of halting the selloff trend, market could remain volatile going ahead.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Nifty has multiple supports in the 21,800–22,000 zone'
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities stage a relief rally today after a record 10 consecutive negative closings and consecutive five months of decline. The index has multiple supports in the 21,800–22,000 zone, aligning with the 100-week EMA, an AB=CD Harmonic pattern, and a key demand zone. Additionally, Breadth and Momentum indicators have reached extreme oversold readings, reinforcing the rebound.
In the near term, 21,800 remains a critical level, a breakdown below this could extend the decline towards 21,300. Conversely, if 21,800 is defended, the recovery could extend toward 22,800–23,000, which serves as the polarity resistance zone.
