Stock market today: The volatility in the Indian stock market persisted on Tuesday, as both major indices began nearly unchanged, with investor confidence impacted by the significant rise in H-1B visa fees, affecting the IT sector.
The Nifty 50 slipped 0.38% to 25,108 . 65, while the BSE Sensex fell by 0.37% to 81,851.42 at 11:50 IST.
The Nifty 50 index started at 25,209 points, increasing by 6.65 points or 0.03 percent, while the BSE Sensex also opened steady at 82,147.37, dipping slightly by 12.60 points or 0.02 percent.
Experts pointed out that despite market instability, elements such as GST reforms, a typical monsoon, reduced interest rates, and tax incentives are anticipated to bolster consumption and gradually align valuations with growth expectations.
Foreign investors, previously net sellers for several weeks, are beginning to re-enter as buyers. The outlook for earnings upgrades in the second half of FY25 is enhancing their sentiment, particularly towards consumption-oriented sectors, which are likely to garner more interest and provide support to the market in the short term.

Nifty 50 – Technical View
Nifty 50 is expected to remain sideways with a bullish bias, holding major support at 25,000. On the upside, resistance is placed near 25,350, which could cap immediate gains. The index structure suggests consolidation with strength, as buying emerges on dips. Technical indicators are steady, keeping momentum intact. As long as Nifty 50 sustains above 25,000, the broader outlook remains constructive, and traders may adopt a buy-on-dips strategy while targeting higher zones toward resistance levels.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty is likely to trade sideways with a positive undertone, as support at 55,000 remains intact. Resistance is placed at 55,500, and a breakout above this level could extend gains further. The overall structure is resilient, with accumulation visible in frontline banks. Momentum indicators reflect underlying strength. Sustaining above 55,000 will be crucial to maintain this bullish bias, while dips should be considered as buying opportunities for traders looking for short-term gains.
