Stock Market News Today Live Updates: Hello and welcome to NDTV Profit's live coverage of stock market news today, with the top market directions in India, Asia Pacific and the West. From pre-market signals to the most buzzing stocks in trade, we bring you all top developments from D-Street to keep you updated throughout the day. After the tech selloff in US markets and fresh US-Israel-Iran geopolitical tensions, domestic benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 are poised for a muted start on Monday.
Nine of the 16 major sectors logged gains at the open. The broader small-caps and mid-caps were flat. The benchmark Nifty 50 index held its ground at 24,061.75, while the BSE Sensex edged 0.06% lower to 77,055.21. Sensex dropped 170 points in early trade after opening in the green. Persistent Systems share price tumbled over 9% on the Nagarro deal.
"Even while the ludicrous stand off between US and Iran continues with occasional strikes and threats by each country, Brent crude remains low at below $73, thanks to the unrestricted passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. This is a big macro positive for India and has the potential to impart resilience to the market,'' said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd. Analysts believe that there are two more factors that can continue to support the market.
One, relentless FII selling which has been weighing on markets has abated. During the last nine trading days, FIIs were buyers in the cash market, though by small amounts. Two, the South Korean and Taiwanese markets, which have been attracting massive investments have turned weak and excessively volatile. Last week India outperformed both South Korea and Taiwan.
''But it is too early to conclude that the Indian market will continue to rally. A big concern now is the hugely deficient (43%) monsoon. If the monsoon revives and compensates for the deficit in the coming weeks, the market also will respond positively. In the coming days FY Q1 result expectations will influence the market. Lots of stock specific moves are likely,'' said Dr. VK Vijayakumar.

Stock Market News Today Live Updates: Analysts eye mildly bullish bias on technical indicators
Stock Market News Today Live Updates: Overall, the technical setup remains constructive with a mildly bullish bias. However, the market is currently consolidating below a crucial resistance zone, and a decisive breakout above 24,200-24,250 will be necessary to revive stronger upside momentum. Until then, range-bound trade with stock-specific action is likely to dominate. The immediate range for Nifty is expected between 23,800 and 24,250, with a breakout on either side determining the next directional move, according to Choice Broking.
Stock Market News Today Live Updates: D-Street analysts expect consolidation with positive bias
Stock Market News Today Live Updates: Aakash Shah, Technical Analyst at Choice Broking said that from a technical standpoint, momentum indicators suggest consolidation with a positive bias. Nifty formed a small bearish candle with a long upper shadow on the daily charts, indicating rejection at higher levels and continued supply near overhead resistance.
- Nifty failed to sustain above the falling resistance trendline connecting the April and June swing highs and also slipped below the 100-day EMA on a closing basis. However, it continues to trade comfortably above its short- and medium-term moving averages, which remain upward sloping.
- The RSI remained steady at 56.97 with a positive crossover, while the MACD stayed above the signal line despite further contraction in the green histogram bars. This indicates moderation in momentum rather than a reversal of trend.

''A breakdown below the 23,800 zone may invite renewed selling pressure and weaken the current technical structure. Considering the prevailing setup, traders are advised to maintain a stock-specific approach while following strict risk management amid continued market consolidation,'' said Taylor.
- Support Levels: 23,900 - 23,800
- Resistance Levels: 24,400 - 24,500
