Stock market outlook
Nifty 50
On 8 January 2026, the Nifty 50 extended its weakness for a fourth consecutive session, slipping below the 26,000 level amid broad-based selling and negative global cues.
Speaking on the Nifty 50 outlook, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, said, ” Concerns over potential U.S. tariffs and continued foreign investor outflows weighed on sentiment. On the daily chart, the index formed a negative single-day price bar, highlighting bearish undertones after recent consolidation and signaling that the recovery attempt remains fragile.
Selling pressure persisted throughout the session, with notable weakness in metals, IT, PSU banks, and auto stocks, while only a few counters showed resilience. Immediate resistance is placed around 26,000–26,050, while key support lies at 25,700–25,750. Overall, the near-term bias remains cautious, with consolidation likely in the absence of fresh bullish triggers.”

Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty extended its weakness in line with broader markets, trading with subdued momentum amid persistent selling pressure and risk-off sentiment, on Thursday.
Meanwhile, on the Bank Nifty outlook, he added, ” The index failed to sustain higher levels throughout the session, reflecting participant hesitation after multiple tests of key support areas. Selling pressure was evident across major banking stocks, particularly PSU banks and select private lenders, indicating continued caution in the banking space.
On the daily chart, Bank Nifty formed a negative price bar, underscoring bearish sentiment and a fragile recovery attempt after prior consolidation. Intraday recovery attempts remained capped near overhead resistance, highlighting sustained supply pressure. Immediate resistance is placed around 59,900–60,000, while 59,300–59,400 remains a crucial support zone. Overall, the near-term bias stays cautious and weak, with consolidation likely without fresh bullish triggers.”
