Share market today live updates: Technical outlook
“Technically, the market maintained positive momentum throughout the day after a gap-up opened. A bullish candle on the daily chart and an uptrend continuation formation on the intraday chart indicate further upside from current levels. We believe the short-term market formation is still on the positive side, but due to temporary overbought conditions, we may see some profit booking at higher levels. For day traders, the 23700-23800/78300-78500 range would be the key resistance zones, while 23500-23,400/77500-77200 could act as crucial support levels for trend-following traders. However, if the market drops below 23,300/76900, traders may prefer to exit their long positions,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
Share market today live updates: Gold rate outlook

Elsewhere, Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said that he anticipates slower progress on inflation in the coming months and, as a result, now sees the Fed cutting its benchmark rate only a quarter of a percentage point by this year-end,” said Manav Modi, Senior Analyst, Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial services Ltd.
