Stock Market LIVE Updates:  'Nifty50 hourly charts call for consolidation or dip'

- Daily charts are evenly poised despite being overbought in some oscillators. However, hourly charts do call for a consolidation or a dip. Towards this end, we will see a slippage past the congestion support of 25,405 to initiate a play on a downmove aiming 25,276 or 25,200.<br />
<br />
- Collapse beyond the same is not expected today, but we could equally expect momentum to ease off should we get into the 25,500-800 region.
