Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates:Markets witnessed a smart recovery, with the Nifty managing to close above its 21-DMA, currently placed around 24,700. However, the recent momentum faced resistance near the 50-DMA at 24980, which also aligns with the upper boundary of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the index. For a fresh leg of the uptrend, a decisive breakout above 25,000 is essential. A successful move above this level could open the gates for a rally towards 25,300, and eventually 25,500. On the downside, immediate support lies at the recent swing low of 24,520. Overall, Nifty is expected to consolidate within the broader range of 24,400–25,000 in the coming week.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities ended flat today, but sentiment stayed mildly positive as key indices rebounded from intraday lows on buying at support levels. The auto sector continued to extend gains on expectations of a demand revival. Broader markets outperformed, with strong mid- and small-cap participation as domestic investors rotated into value and growth opportunities beyond large caps. Global cues also lent support, with U.S. and Asian markets trading higher ahead of the U.S. jobs report, a key trigger for Fed rate cut expectations. In the near term, markets are likely to remain range-bound, with a buy-on-dips, sell-on-rallies strategy guiding investor behaviour.
