Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty continues to face resistance at higher levels ahead of weekly expiry

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates:

The Nifty 50 index heads into the weekly expiry session after a decent start to the trading week, but after yet another session where the bulls could not take the index past key levels on the upside.

The index has recovered nearly 300 points from last Friday's lows, but continues to face resistance at higher levels. The index fell over 70 points from the day's high on Monday in the last 30 minutes of the trading session. The fall was led by the Nifty Bank, which fell more than 150 points from the highs and could not close above the mark of 58,000 yet again.

That level remains the key for the Nifty Bank. For the Nifty, which traded in a 150-point range on Monday, defending 25,500 on the downside remains the key, followed by crossing 25,650 on the upside, which is Monday's high.

Earnings reactions from Bajaj Finance, which cut its AUM growth guidance, followed by stocks like Vodafone Idea and ONGC, will be in focus. Stocks like Tata Power, Bharat Forge, RITES, RVNL, Fortis Healthcare, among others will be reporting their results today.
