Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
The Nifty index formed a shooting star candle on the daily chart, signalling selling pressure at higher levels, with 24,460 acting as a short-term hurdle. Sustaining above this level could lead to a rally toward 24,800–24,850. On the downside, key support lies at the 200-Day Simple Moving Average around 24,050, followed by 23,850. Traders should monitor these levels for potential trading opportunities.
The Bank Nifty index opened on a positive note and saw initial buying but later faced strong selling pressure and settled on a flat note at 55,391. Technically, the Bank Nifty index formed a shooting star candle on the daily chart, suggesting strong supply near the 56,000 mark, while support is seen at 54,450. The index is expected to consolidate between 54,450 and 56,000 in the near term, with a breakout on either side likely to determine the next directional move.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
The domestic market exhibited largely range-bound oscillation, as caution prevailed amid geopolitical concerns over border tensions. The sustained inflows from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) provided support to market sentiment and restricted further pessimism.
Meanwhile, mixed fourth quarter results have raised the risk of downward revisions to FY26 projections. In combination with apprehensions surrounding potential retaliatory actions, these developments may lead to some consolidation in the near term.
