Breakout stocks to buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends five shares to buy today — 11 May 2026 | Stock Market News

Buy or sell stocks: Indian equity markets stayed under pressure on Friday, May 8, amid rising geopolitical concerns after reports of Iran-US clashes near the Strait of Hormuz dampened investor sentiment, pulling both benchmark indices down by over 0.50%.

The Nifty 50 fell 0.55% to close at 24,193, while the Sensex declined 0.67% to end at 77,321. Despite heightened intraday volatility, both benchmarks recorded weekly gains of more than 0.70%. The broader market showed a mixed trend, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 rising 0.22%, while the Nifty Midcap 100 slipped 0.15%.

On Friday, the Nifty 50 opened with a gap-down at 24,233.65 and witnessed weakness throughout the session. The index recorded its intraday high of 24,253.00 in the first half, while selling pressure intensified in the latter half, dragging the index to an intraday low of 24,126.65. The index eventually closed at 24,176.15, registering a decline of 150.50 points or 0.62% over the previous close.

According to Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, on the daily timeframe, the formation of a bearish candlestick pattern indicates sustained selling pressure and moderation in bullish momentum.

“From a technical perspective, immediate support is placed in the 24,000–24,080 range, while resistance is observed between 24,330 and 24,400 levels. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 52.40, remaining above the midpoint of 50 but indicating weakening momentum. In the derivatives segment, notable call writing was seen at the 24,200 strike, followed by 24,300, while significant put writing was observed at 24,200 and 24,000 levels, indicating a defined trading range for the near term,” Bagadia said.

Bank Nifty

The Bank Nifty index opened with a gap-down at 55,783.95 and faced selling pressure right from the opening minutes of the session. The index recorded its intraday high of 55,797.70 near the opening level and continued to decline throughout the day, marking an intraday low of 55,062.50 in the second half. The index eventually closed at 55,310.55, registering a decline of 736.85 points or 1.31% for the day.

Bagadia noted that on the daily timeframe, the formation of a bearish candlestick pattern with the intraday high near the opening level indicates persistent selling pressure throughout the session.

“From a technical standpoint, immediate support is placed in the 54,800–55,000 range, while resistance is seen in the 55,800–56,000 zone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 48.56, slipping below the midpoint level of 50 and indicating weakening momentum with a bearish bias. Sustaining above support levels will be important to avoid further downside pressure,” he said.

Bagadia further recommended traders to remain selective and wait for stability near support zones or a decisive breakout above resistance levels before initiating fresh positions, as recent price action suggests a weak trading session with both indices witnessing sustained selling pressure throughout the day.
