Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The sentiment around Nifty remains upbeat as the index moved above its four-month consolidation range. On Friday, large-cap stocks clearly outperformed, leaving behind mid- and small-cap stocks — a classic bull market scenario. In the early phase of a classic bull run, large caps usually lead the rally, followed by mid and small-cap companies. Technically, Nifty looks strong for a decent upside from here, and a “buy on dips” strategy might prove effective. On the lower end, meaningful support is placed at 25,500, while resistance is seen at 25,850–26,000.
