Share market today live updates: Market defies global jitters
“The uncanny ability of the market to surprise was evident last week when the Nifty surged by 4.6% in a week. The fact that this happened when globally markets were jittery on fears of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs kicking in from April 2nd is important. So, what led to this sudden reversal of trend in the Indian market? Improving macros of the Indian economy and fair valuations have turned FIIs from sellers to buyers. More importantly, this has triggered massive short covering leading to sharp spikes in prices. Even though the undertone of the market is bullish investors have to be careful. April 2nd- the reciprocal tariffs day- is looming large and the uncertainty surrounding that is huge,” said Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investment Services.

Share market today live updates: Technical outlook
“Technically, on weekly charts, a long bullish candle has formed. On daily and intraday charts, it is holding a higher bottom formation, which supports further upward movement from the current levels. We are of the view that the short-term market texture is bullish; however, due to temporary overbought conditions, we could see some profit booking at higher levels. For traders, the strategy should be to buy around 23100/23200 and keep a stop loss at 22900,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
“In the near future, 23,100/75800 and the 50-day SMA or 22900/75100 would act as key support zones, while 23,500-23,800/77400-78700 could be the key resistance areas for the bulls. However, if it falls below 22,900/75100, the sentiment could change, and traders may prefer to exit from their long positions,” he added.
Share market today live updates: Crude oil prices
“Crude oil prices remained volatile but extended their rally for a second consecutive week, supported by fresh U.S. sanctions on Iran and OPEC+ production cuts. The U.S. announced new measures targeting an independent Chinese refinery and crude transport vessels, while a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia added to supply concerns. On Thursday, OPEC+ confirmed planned output cuts ranging between 189,000 and 435,000 barrels per day until mid-2026.” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
“We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil is having support at $67.55-67.00 and resistance is at $68.90-69.60 in today’s session. In INR crude oil has support at Rs 5,820-5,740 while resistance at Rs 5,970-6,050,” he added.
Share market today live updates: Market Outlook
“Nifty had a rough start in 2025, but last week’s strong buying momentum forced bears to retreat. Wall Street’s positive close on Friday, along with FIIs net buying Rs 7,470 crore, lifted market sentiment. President Trump’s hint of tariff flexibility also acts as a catalyst. Nifty’s rally is driven by cooling inflation, likely prompting a 25 bps repo rate cut by the RBI, and dovish signals from the US Fed,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
“Technically, Nifty is above key moving averages, and a push towards the 200-DMA at 24069 is possible if positive developments arise on the tariff front,” he added.
