Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

The rally is fuelled by the surprise pause in reciprocal tariffs which continued today led by the exemption on electronics goods also. The performance was broad-based, with sectors like financials, capital goods, realty and metals exhibiting optimism. Auto stocks gained on potential tariff relief and banking stocks benefited from deposit rate cuts. However, investors remain watchful considering future supply chain impact due to escalated tariffs on China and products like Steel, Cars. Domestically, the focus has shifted to the earnings season which has a weak forecast while global recovery and RBI’s accommodative stance are supporting sentiment.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The index has formed a Hanging Man pattern on the daily chart, indicating a possible pause in the current rally. On the other hand, the index closed above the 100-EMA on the daily chart, which suggests continued positivity. Additionally, the RSI has just entered a positive crossover. Summing it up, although the sentiment appears positive, a hint of fatigue is visible in the index following the steep rally over the past few days. Therefore, the possibility of a minor pullback on the downside cannot be ruled out. Support is placed at 23,300; a decisive break below this level could trigger a correction towards 23,000. Resistance is placed at 23,370 and 23,650.
