Sumeet Bagadia’s breakout stock recommendations: The key benchmark indices of the Indian stock market extended their slide on Tuesday, with the Nifty 50 and Sensex falling further to fresh six-month lows as the market struggled to stabilise following the sharp correction in the previous session. Selling remained broad-based, with the vast majority of Nifty constituents ending lower, underscoring limited appetite for dip buying and a fragile tone across domestic equities.
Crude oil was not the primary catalyst for today’s decline. WTI held above $92 a barrel without a significant move higher, in contrast to the sharp surge in the previous session that had weighed heavily on risk sentiment. Nevertheless, crude prices remain elevated following the recent rally, keeping concerns over India’s import bill and inflation outlook firmly in focus.
Weak Asian market cues and continued foreign institutional outflows added to the pressure as global risk appetite remained subdued following the previous session’s geopolitical shock. The rupee also remained volatile and sensitive to global risk conditions, adding to the cautious tone across domestic markets.
Outlook for the Nifty, Bank Nifty
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes the short-term bias in the Indian stock market has shifted from bearish to sideways. This could happen due to a sharp recovery after the weak opening in early-morning trading.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Bagadia said, “The short-term view has moved slightly from bearish to sideways-to-bullish, as the index closed above the 22,600 support level. This shows that selling is slowing down, and buyers are active near this level. Based on the chart pattern and past behaviour after seven straight falls, a big recovery is possible in the coming weeks. Immediate support is at 22,600–22,500, while resistance is at 22,900 and 23,100.”
On the outlook of the Bank Nifty index, Sumeet Bagadia said, “Over the last three weeks, the index has fallen nearly 3,500 points from its recent highs. The rebound from the weekly candle’s multiple support zones, along with major banking stocks recovering from their lows, indicates that buyers are active at this level. Some recovery looks likely in the coming weeks. Immediate support is at 53,800–53,600, while major resistance is at 54,500–54,700.”
