RBI’s rate cut puts a floor under growth, even as a sliding rupee and global uncertainty test India’s market resilience ahead of a crucial earnings year

Nifty’s Move Hinges On RBI Rate Decision; HUL, ITC Hotels In Focus| Opening Bell Live

The Nifty 50 snapped its four-day losing streak on December 4, gaining 0.2% to close above the previous day’s high and reclaim the 26,000 mark. The index also held firm above its 20-day EMA. Experts say as long as Nifty defends the 25,900 level, an upside toward 26,100–26,300 remains likely amid ongoing consolidation. A decisive drop below this zone, however, could open the door to 25,840 — a crucial support. Among stocks to watch: HUL and ITC Hotels. The focus, though, remains on the RBI’s policy decision today — with the Street expecting a 25-basis-point rate cut even as strong growth and a weak rupee could keep the central bank cautious.

Nifty Holds Key Support; Volatile Trade Likely on Sensex Expiry | Opening Bell Live

The Nifty 50 remained under pressure for the fourth straight session on December 3, slipping 0.2% amid persistent weakness in momentum indicators. However, the index managed to hold above its 20-day EMA (25,970) on a closing basis. Experts say a decisive move below these levels could strengthen the bears and drag the index toward 25,840 - last Wednesday’s low. On the upside, a rebound above 26,070 and 26,150 may offer short-term relief, though traders are advised to stay cautious. Global cues remain mixed, with the GIFT Nifty signaling a subdued start on Sensex expiry day.

The Nifty 50 extended its losing streak for a third straight session on December 2, slipping nearly 0.6% and closing below its 10-day EMA. Momentum indicators suggest further consolidation, though the broader higher high–higher low structure remains intact. Experts say as long as the index trades below 26,300 - a key resistance zone - the market may stay rangebound, with crucial support at 25,900–25,850. A breach below this could intensify selling pressure. Among stocks in focus: Sun Pharma, Maruti Suzuki, and HDFC AMC.

The Nifty 50 extended its consolidation phase for the third straight session, slipping 0.1% on December 1 after profit booking erased about 150 points from its record high of 26,326. While momentum indicators signal near-term caution, the broader trend remains positive, with the index maintaining its higher high–higher low structure on larger timeframes. Experts expect further consolidation with immediate support at 26,100–26,000 and a crucial floor at 25,900. On the upside, 26,300 remains a key resistance zone -  a decisive close above this level could trigger a sharp rally.

Will Solid Q2 GDP Set The Ball Rolling For Nifty Bulls To Cross 26,300 Decisively?|Opening Bell Live

The Nifty 50 ended the week on a steady note, closing flat with a negative bias but still up 0.5% for the week and nearly 2% for the month. Bulls continue to have the upper hand despite some profit booking after the record-high rally. Experts say if the Nifty sustains above 26,310, an upmove toward 26,400–26,500 could be on the cards, while key support lies at 26,100–26,000. Markets will react to Q2 GDP data, which came in at a six-quarter high. Global cues are mixed, but the GIFT Nifty indicates a gap-up start.

Live: Will bulls take Nifty to fresh lifetime highs today? | Opening Bell

Nifty kicked off the December series with a strong rebound, closing above the key 26,120 trigger level and recovering all losses from the past three sessions. With FIIs still heavily net short, the move raises the possibility of further short covering, especially as the bulls now eye the next upside markers at 26,246 and 26,277. Financials and NBFCs have been the key drivers of this uptrend from the 24,500 zone, with Nifty Bank inching closer to the 60,000 mark. While broader markets saw a relief rally, dealing rooms noted that participation remained relatively low. Thursday’s Sensex monthly expiry will be a key factor for market direction, even as global cues are expected to stay muted due to the Thanksgiving holiday-led closures in the US. This morning, global cues were positive. US markets edged higher overnight, extending gains to fourth straight day. Asian markets, meanwhile, started the day higher.
