Sensex Today | Stock Market Live Updates: Nifty extends gains to 110 points, rises above 22,800 mark

Sensex Today | Stock Market Live Updates:  The markets are in a caution space and the bulls look to navigate and retain gains for the week, protecting 100 points that prevent the Nifty 50 index from slumping in red for the week before the last session tomorrow. The Nifty is above the 22,700 mark, with gains of over 50 points. The Sensex is up over 100 points, rising to 73,400 mark.

For the last five sessions, the Nifty has been attempting to cross and sustain above 22,800, but has failed to do so.  Today is also the monthly expiry of the Sensex contracts.

The Nifty Bank, after slipping below 54,000, managed to stage a recovery and close above that mark. 54,500 on the upside remains the key level to cross, while Wednesday's low of 53,626 is something bulls would not want to re-test.

For the Nifty, the 22,500 zone is turning out to be an important support on the downside, but any move towards 22,800 continues to see supply pressure as well as the index failed to cross Tuesday's high on Wednesday.

Another earnings heavy day beckons. Trent, Asian Paints, Coal India, IndiGo among the Nifty names report, while names like Bandhan Bank, Hero among others will react to their numbers. Also keep an eye on GE Vernova T&D.
