Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes the Indian stock market’s bias remains weak despite a strong recovery following Wednesday’s market crash. The Choice Broking expert said the Nifty 50 index breached the 200-DEMA support at 25,000, but regained the psychological 25,000 level and finished at 25,157. However, this is not enough to boost bulls’ sentiments. To improve sentiment in the Indian stock market, the Nifty 50 index needs to close above 25,500.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Sumeet Bagadia said, ‘The Nifty 50 index failed to sustain at higher levels and closed 75 points lower at 25,157, indicating persistent selling pressure and a weak undertone. Immediate resistance is placed in the 25,250-25,300 zone, while support is seen at 25,000–25,050. The daily RSI stands at 27.89 and continues to trend lower. Additionally, the index has closed below its 200-day exponential moving average (200 DEMA), suggesting weakening momentum and the likelihood of a continuation of the corrective phase.”
On the outlook of the Bank Nifty index, Bagadia said, “The technical chart pattern of the Bank Nifty index indicates a pullback-driven recovery within a broader consolidation phase. Immediate resistance is placed in the 59,000–59,100 zone, while supports at 58,500 and 58,600 remain crucial for sustaining near-term stability in banking stocks. On the daily charts, the RSI stands at 40.77 and is trending lower, suggesting a loss of short-term momentum despite the underlying positive structure.”
