Stock Market LIVE Updates: GIFT Nifty signals a flat opening; US, Asian markets mixed

Published on 29/04/2025 07:57 AM

#1 Profit grows 17.2 percent to Rs 327.1 crore Vs Rs 279 crore, YoY

#2 Revenue increases 16.7 percent to Rs 3,207.9 crore Vs Rs 2,748.8 crore, YoY

Yesterday, the benchmark indices bounced back sharply, with the Nifty ends 289 points higher while the Sensex was up by 1006 points. Among sectors, almost all the major sectoral indices traded in positive territory, but the Defense and Oil and Gas indices outperformed, with Defense up 4 and Oil and Gas gain 3 percent.

Technically, after a promising opening, the market maintained positive momentum throughout the day. Additionally, it formed a long bullish candle on the daily charts, which supports a further uptrend from current levels. We believe that the short-term market texture is still on the bullish side but buying on intraday dips and selling on rallies would be the ideal strategy for day traders.

On the downside, 24200/79800 and 24100/79500 would act as key support zones, while 24400-24500/80500-80700 could serve as crucial resistance areas for the bulls. However, if the market falls below 24100/79500, the uptrend would become vulnerable.

Until the Nifty decisively clears the 24,350 hurdle and sustains above it, consolidation may continue, with crucial support at the 24,000–24,050 area. A decisive move above 24,350 can open the gates for a rally toward 24,550, the next resistance, followed by 24,860, according to experts....
