Stock market today: India’s key stock indexes slipped on Tuesday as investors took a cautious approach following US President Donald Trump’s call for Iranians to leave Tehran amidst ongoing attacks between Israel and Iran, escalating fears of a wider regional conflict.
The Nifty 50 declined by 0.20% to 24,895 .30, while the Sensex dropped 0.19% to 81,639.66 as of 11:45 IST.
Investors also chose to remain cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement later this week, analysts observed. Analysts pointed out that even though market momentum appears positive, escalating tensions between the US and Iran could pose a significant concern.

Market Views – Riyank Arora, Technical Analyst, Mehta Equities Ltd
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 has decisively broken above the key resistance level of 24,900, signaling the continuation of bullish Momentum. This breakout opens up the possibility for further upside towards 25,050 and 25,100 in the short term. Momentum indicators such as RSI are trending positively, suggesting strong market sentiment. On the downside, the previous resistance zone around 24,825 is expected to act as immediate support, cushioning any short-term dips. Sustaining above 24,900 will be crucial for the index to maintain upward traction.
Bank Nifty – Technical View
Bank Nifty is trading near a crucial resistance zone at 56,000. A breakout and close above this level could trigger fresh buying interest, paving the way for targets at 56,200 and 56,400. However, until a decisive move emerges, volatility may persist. On the downside, key support levels are placed at 55,800 and 55,600, where buyers may step in on any intraday weakness. A directional breakout from the current consolidation zone will set the tone for the next leg of the trend.
Shares to buy for short term
