Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Sentiment remains cautious'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "Indian markets extended its losing streak for a fifth straight session as investors booked profits amid persistent FII outflows and uncertainty over US-India trade talks, which is expected to dent Q2 GDP growth. Broad based selling prevailed in the market with heavy selling across auto, IT, pharma, and healthcare sectors, while metals gained on the back of China’s liquidity support and copper supply concerns. Overall, sentiment remains cautious ahead of India’s H2FY26 borrowing and US macroeconomic data, expected to be released over the end of the week."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 extended its losing streak to a fifth straight session amidst heavy selling in IT stocks after the US imposed a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, wiping out nearly $10 billion in market value. Selling pressure was also sharp in auto and realty counters, while metals and PSU banks offered only limited support. The sharp fall in frontline stocks dragged the Nifty below the key psychological mark of 25,050, testing support at 24,850. What was once support has now turned into resistance at 25,000–25,150, keeping the near-term outlook weak. 

 

Technical charts highlight 24,850 as the immediate support, and a break below this could drag the index towards 24,600–24,500. On the upside, only a move above 25,200 would signal meaningful recovery. Options data reflects caution, with heavy call writing at 25,000–25,300 acting as a strong ceiling.
