Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: The Nifty's movement reflects that bears are firmly in control

Markets experienced a volatile session and ended marginally higher, pausing after the recent decline. Despite an initial uptick and a positive move in the first half, a sharp sell-off in the latter half erased all gains. Sectoral trends remained mixed, with realty, auto, and pharma leading the gainers, while metal and energy ended in the red. Broader indices outperformed amidst the choppiness, closing with gains of nearly half a percent each. 
 
The Nifty's movement reflects that bears are firmly in control, using every rebound as an opportunity to short. We maintain our “sell on rise” stance for the index until a decisive reversal is evident, while emphasising a selective approach for stock-specific trades.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Market pullback is over, next leg of the decline likely to resume

Nifty opened on a positive note and witnessed a sharp surge during the first half of the trading session. A sell off during the second half resulted into a weak close. Nifty closed in the positive up 65 points, however, well off the intraday highs indicating inability to sustain at higher levels.

The 40-hour average (23,733) acted as a strong resistance and until the index manages to sustain above it we shall to maintain a negative stance. The hourly momentum indicator has completed pullback cycle to equilibrium line suggesting that the pullback is over and is likely to resume next leg of the decline. On the downside we are expecting 23,180, which coincides with the 61.82 per cent Fibonacci retracement level.
 
Bank Nifty also witnessed an upmove towards 51000, however it sold off and closed well of the intraday highs. The weakness is likely to continue, and we expect the bank nifty to test 49800 – 49700 which coincides with the 200-day moving average. On the upside, 50800 – 50900 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone from short term perspective.
