Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates:

Indian equities resume trading after the Christmas holiday on the final trading day of the last full trading week of 2025. Participation will continue to remain low as most global equities continue to remain shut today as well.

The Nifty continues to face hurdles at the 26,200 mark, snapping a three-day winning streak in the process on Wednesday, ending at the lows of the day.

However, key support levels remain intact, with the index still managing a higher high and a higher low on the charts, despite the last hour's fall. 26,100-26,150 continues to remain a support zone for the index, even as it struggles to cross the 26,200 - 26,250 range to make a move towards the recent record high of 26,325.

Broader market breadth also turned adverse on Wednesday, with more stocks declining compared to the gainers. 59,500 remains a barrier for the Nifty bank as well, even as it looks to protect 59,000 on the downside.

In today's session, keep an eye on seven names whose lock-in ends, along with IndusInd Bank, Vikran Engineering, Castrol India, and Strides Pharma, among others.
