Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The index mostly remained below the 21 EMA on the hourly chart, reflecting sustained selling pressure during the session. On Friday, the market may remain choppy within a narrow range until the lending rate announcement and could turn volatile once it is released. Technically, the 26,100–26,150 zone is expected to act as crucial resistance, while support is placed at 25,900–25,950. A fall below 26,000 may trigger a quick correction towards 25,950–25,900, as the chart setup appears weak on the hourly timeframe.
