Stock Market Today Highlights: Sensex cracks 770 points, Nifty 50 ends 1% lower near 25,000; Adani group stocks slip

Stock Market Today Highlights: Prashanth Tapse, Research Analyst, Senior Vice President of Research at Mehta Equities, said that we may conclude that Thursday's rebound was a mere dead cat bounce. Nifty 50's troubles seem tobe far from over.

For markets to prosper, FIIs need to return to their buying desk. This month, the sell figure has already crossed ₹36,500 crore mark.

Technically, Nifty 50 has just closed above the psychological 25,000 mark. Hence, chances are high that it may breach the same in Monday's session. Intraday hurdle seen at 25,200.

Long story short: Bears take the centre stage after a filler show by the bulls camp.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Indian equity markets made a strong recovery on Thursday, ending a three-day decline as improving global sentiment and reduced geopolitical concerns led to broad-based buying and short covering.

The positive mood stemmed from indications of diminishing global trade conflicts. US President Donald Trump’s choice to withdraw tariff threats against the European Union and his optimistic remarks regarding a possible India–US trade deal boosted global risk appetite, encouraging buying interest in domestic stocks.

The Sensex jumped 397.74 points, or 0.49%, closing at 82,307.37, while the Nifty 50 increased by 132.40 points, or 0.53%, finishing at 25,289.90. Both indices rose nearly 1% in early trading before experiencing a slight pullback amid mild profit-taking at elevated levels.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Bank Nifty index rallied 399.80 points, or 0.68%, to close at 59,200.10 on Thursday, forming a classical doji on daily chart, indicating indecision following the sell-off.

“Bank Nifty index has decisively moved above its 50 day EMA, which is a positive development and indicates strengthening short term momentum. From a technical perspective, the 59,500 – 59,600 zone is expected to act as an immediate and important resistance for the index. A sustainable move above 59,600 would be critical and could trigger a continuation of the upward momentum, potentially leading to a further rally towards 60,100, followed by 60,600 in the short term,” said Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities.

On the downside, he believes the 58,800 – 58,700 range is likely to provide strong support, and this zone will be crucial to watch, as a hold above it may keep the bullish bias intact, while a breach could bring back selling pressure and dampen near term sentiment.
