Will Rupee Slide & Expiry Day Caution Keep Nifty Bulls On The Back Foot? | Opening Bell Live

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. Globally, markets are trading mixed - Wall Street ended on a soft note, while most Asian markets opened with modest gains. However, the GIFT Nifty is hinting at a negative start for Indian equities. Among stocks in focus today: Bajaj Housing Finance, Hero MotoCorp, and Bharat Dynamics.
