Main Points
Current Performance Overview
The TCS share price opened at ₹4,530 today and traded within a range of ₹4,505 to ₹4,547 throughout the day.

From a technical perspective, TCS is currently trading close to its 50-day moving average (DMA), which is an important indicator for investors. The stock needs to hold this level to avoid further declines and potentially regain upward momentum. Analysts suggest that if TCS can maintain support around this 50 DMA level, it could pave the way for a recovery.The stock has recently broken out of a base on its weekly chart but remains approximately 6% away from its pivot point.

Market Context
The broader Indian IT sector has been facing challenges with slow client spending in IT infrastructure upgrades, particularly in the U.S. market. Many firms are looking forward to potential monetary policy easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve to stimulate corporate spending.
In comparison with peers like Infosys and Wipro, TCS has shown resilience but still faces competitive pressures that could impact its market position in the long term.
