Market Sentiment and Technical View on August 7
Despite the modest closing, market breadth remained mixed with strength in specific pockets. The positive close in major indices is encouraging, but volatility persisted, especially in the mid- and small-cap segments. Investors appear to be cautious ahead of key global macroeconomic indicators expected later this week.
From a technical standpoint:
-
Immediate support for Nifty 50 lies at 24,340
-
Resistance level is now capped around 24,650
Conclusion
The Indian equity market on August 7, 2025, showed signs of resilience by closing marginally higher despite weak global cues and mixed corporate earnings. Key performers like LAXMIINDIA and IZMO demonstrated solid upward momentum, while heavy selling in LUMAX group stocks and PRAXIS-RE2 dragged overall sentiment. Going forward, market direction will likely be influenced by macroeconomic data releases and global trends.
