Weak earnings growth for the current quarter has further impacted the market. Small- and mid-cap stocks have underperformed compared to benchmark indices. Meanwhile, investors are closely monitoring India's bilateral trade negotiations with the US.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: On Tuesday, Nifty ended with a bearish candlestick on the daily chart, indicating a firm resistance near the 24,500 mark as market participants stayed cautious ahead of the Fed meeting and Indo-Pakistan tensions. Key support lies in the 24,250–24,200 zone. Technically, a directional trend will emerge only after a decisive move above 24,500 or a close below 24,200. Until then, the index is likely to trade in a range. With the Fed outcome now released, a directional move could unfold in the upcoming sessions.
