Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty faced resistance at the previous swing high, leading to a volatile session before closing slightly lower. On the downside, support is observed around 23,300, which is a congestion level, with the 100-EMA also placed near this level.
As long as the Nifty remains above 23,300, we anticipate a consolidation phase within a broader range of 23,300 to 23,800. Immediate support is placed at 23,600, and a decisive drop below this level could drive the index toward 23,300. On the upside, resistance is at 23,800, and a breakout above this level may resume the rally.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: After a six-day recovery rally, the broader market witnessed some profit booking, particularly in small and mid-cap stocks, where premium valuations still exist. On the other hand, the IT sector posted gains, driven by positive global cues stemming from expectations of softer tariffs and a recent correction in valuations.
In the near-term, investor sentiment is expected to be cautious as they await clarity on trade policy between US-India. Meanwhile, attention is shifting towards the quarterly results, which is anticipated to shed light on the recovery in earnings growth. Favourable indicators, such as expected rate cuts and rupee movements, continue to support the market sentiment.
