Stock market today: Indian stock markets began the day on a downturn on Tuesday, reflecting a volatile trading environment and a prudent stance from investors in light of global uncertainties and varied domestic signals.
At the start of the trading session, the Sensex fell by 430 points to reach 82,038.20. Similarly, the Nifty 50 decreased by approximately 0.5% to settle at 24,956.
Market analysts indicate that, in the short term, the market is expected to stabilize at its current levels. With mutual funds holding significant cash reserves, any downturn will likely attract buyers, while elevated valuations may prompt profit-taking during price increases. A continual upward trend will only occur when key indicators point to a recovery in earnings growth, which is still a while off.

Market Review and Outlook – Sachin Gupta, Senior Research Analyst at 5paisa
The benchmark indices continued to trade in the green, closing near the psychological 25,000 mark. The Nifty 50 ended the session at 25,001.15, posting a gain of 148 points. Technically, the index formed a bullish candlestick pattern with a higher high and higher low, indicating the continuation of the prevailing uptrend.
After finding strong support near the 24,500 level, also coinciding with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement during Thursday’s session, the Nifty 50 witnessed a sharp rebound and extended its upward momentum for the second consecutive day.
Notably, strong buying interest has emerged near the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (21-DEMA), which continues to act as a key dynamic support level. This reinforces the positive market bias.
However, market volatility remains elevated. Hence, traders are advised to adopt a “buy on dips” strategy in the index.
On the upside, a decisive move above the 25,100 resistance zone could open the doors for further gains toward the 25,300–25,400 levels. On the downside, immediate support is seen around 24,800, followed by a more significant support at 24,500 marks.
