Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Blue Cloud Softech Solutions share price jumped over 6% on Wednesday, after the company informed that it secured national ISP licence to advance AI-driven data centres, Sovereign Cloud, and Digital Infrastructure.

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Bitcoin price is trading at a critical inflection point where market structure is being shaped less by major announcements and more by positioning shifts beneath the surface. A developing golden triangle formation on the charts highlights a compression phase, suggesting that a decisive breakout is approaching. The recent sell-off has flushed out leveraged participants, reflected in declining open interest and forced liquidations, while long-term holders continue to absorb supply, creating a fragile equilibrium, said Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42.

A sustained move below the $65,000 range would expose Bitcoin to a fast repricing toward the $60,000 liquidity pocket, driven by stop cascades rather than gradual selling. Conversely, if buyers reclaim control and push prices firmly above $70,000, it could trigger a renewed uptrend. This ongoing deleveraging is resetting market conditions and may lay the groundwork for a more sustainable directional move ahead, he added.

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: AI-native enterprise applications are likely to depend on legacy service vendors’ deep client relationships and delivery capabilities to scale effectively, which could support a gradual sector recovery. A partnership ecosystem is emerging - for example, Infosys-Cognition, Infosys-Cursor and Infosys-Anthropic - which it believes will be critical for enabling AI diffusion across enterprises. These collaborations should become increasingly important as organizations move toward scaled adoption, Motilal Oswal said.

The brokerage firm believes CY26 should represent the bottoming of the growth cycle, setting the stage for a more meaningful acceleration in 2HFY27 and FY28 as AI services move into scaled deployment. It sees limited evidence for earnings cuts and believes cyclical recovery in core businesses is underway. However, concerns around terminal value and AI-led disruption may restrict near-term multiple re-rating. The brokerage firm, therefore, values Infosys at 22x FY28E EPS, with a target price of ₹1,850, implying 33% upside, while reiterating a ‘Buy’ call on the stock.

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The better-than-expected Q3 results and indications of continuing momentum in earnings growth, going forward, are positive factors that will keep the market resilient. The volatility in IT stocks may continue, in response to incoming news relating to the sector. Overall, IT stocks may remain weak since uncertainty surrounding the sector is huge and large institutional investors are unlikely to invest big time in IT stocks, unless valuations become compelling. There can be churns away from IT towards other sectors like banking and financials, automobiles, telecom, pharmaceuticals etc where there is good earnings visibility. This is the time to gradually increase exposure to equity, said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.

But many retail investors are increasing investments in gold and silver ETFs, which is a risky game in the present context. Early signs of a shift in the investment strategy of FIIs are visible now. In the cash market, FIIs have been buyers in eight out of the last thirteen trading days. This trend and improving prospects for corporate earnings bode well for the market, he added.

Stock Market Today LIVE: IT stocks are likely to remain in sharp focus as the sector has been under sustained pressure over the past week amid concerns around AI-driven disruption to traditional IT services models. Although the previous session saw a tentative rebound in select frontline names, sentiment remains fragile.

“Market participants will closely monitor whether the recent selling momentum resumes or shows signs of stabilisation. In the near term, positioning is expected to remain cautious, with investors preferring clarity over conviction,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI - registered Research Analyst and Founder - Livelong Wealth.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Bank Nifty continues to exhibit strong relative outperformance, sustained leadership from private sector banks, along with renewed traction in select PSU banks, is supporting the index’s march toward record levels. Immediate support is seen in the 60,900 – 60,600 zone, which aligns with the prior breakout area and trendline support, making it a crucial demand cluster, said Ponmudi R.

On the upside, resistance is placed around 61,300 – 61,400; a decisive breakout above this band could extend the rally toward 61,800 – 62,000 in the near term. The overall structure remains decisively bullish, marked by a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, while the RSI near 62 reflects strong yet sustainable momentum without signaling overbought conditions. As long as the index holds above 60,600, the bias remains firmly positive with scope for continued outperformance versus the broader market, he added.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Nifty 50 has decisively reclaimed and sustained above its key moving averages 20, 50, 100, and 200-day, indicating improving short-term strength and scope for gradual upside continuation. Immediate support is placed in the 25,600 – 25,550 zone, which coincides with recent swing pivots and serves as a crucial near-term base; holding above this range keeps the current structure constructive, said Ponmudi R, CEO - Enrich Money.

On the upside, resistance is positioned around 25,750 – 25,800, and a sustained breakout above this band could accelerate momentum toward the 25,900 – 26,000 zone, where psychological resistance and call-writing interest may limit gains, he added.

Momentum indicators are showing signs of improvement, with RSI near 52 suggesting a neutral-to-bullish bias, while MACD has generated a positive crossover following the recent correction. Overall, the technical configuration reflects a positive reversal setup with mild upside potential in the near term, said Ponmudi R.
