Stock Market Today: Looks Like The Bulls Will Take The Charge Today
The bull market has resumed its upward movement after a temporary setback. The Sensex and Nifty 50 are expected to start trading at higher levels on Wednesday as global markets show mixed patterns. While Asian markets posted positive gains, Wall Street delivered mixed results, with the Dow Jones achieving its third consecutive record close.
The domestic stock market maintained its upward momentum without any breaks. The Sensex rose 208.17 points (0.25%) to 84,273.92, while the Nifty 50 increased 67.85 points (0.26%) to 25,935.15 on Tuesday. Auto and metal stocks led the charge, proving that some sectors just know how to party even when markets are cautious.
Curious about upcoming events? Traders are watching key levels closely, believing that one wrong slip-or a breakout-could spark future market excitement. Are you ready to spot the action before it happens?

In the February 2026 MSCI Global Standard Index review, Aditya Birla Capital and L&T Finance were added, signaling increased investor attention. Meanwhile, IRCTC was removed from the index. This reshuffle could influence stock flows and trading patterns in the domestic market.
The daily chart of the Sensex shows a Doji candle formation, indicating that traders are undecided between buying and selling. The market shows short-term uncertainty but maintains an upward trend. If the key support levels hold, the upward momentum is likely to continue. The immediate support level stands at 84,100, and a drop below this point could bring the market to test the range between 83,700 and 83,500. The index faces resistance at 84,500, and a successful breakout beyond this level could push it further toward 84,800–85,000. Traders will monitor these important price levels to guide their trading decisions.
The Nifty 50 showed a high-wave type candle, indicating minor price fluctuations while maintaining an overall positive market sentiment. The index continues to move within a defined trading range, with immediate support at 25,800 and the 50-day moving average around 25,790 reinforcing stability. A breakout above the resistance level at 26,000 could open the path toward 26,350. In the derivatives market, put writing at 25,900 and call writing at 26,000 suggest a narrow trading range. Market participants may favor a buy-on-dips approach near key support levels while waiting for a clear breakout.
