Stock market today: With no major significant cues, the Indian stock market ended lower on Monday. The Nifty 50 index finished marginally lower at 24,320, while the BSE Sensex ended 36 points southward at 79,960. The Bank Nifty index lost 234 points and closed at 52,425. Cash market volumes on the NSE were down 7 percent to ₹1.45 lakh crore. The broad market indices fell more than the frontline indices even as the advance-decline ratio fell to 0.65:1.
Trade setup for Tuesday
On the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “The short-term trend of Nifty continues to be positive. There is a possibility of continuing this range movement for the next 1 or 2 sessions before witnessing a further upside move above 24,400. A sustainable move above the key hurdle of 24,400 could open a sharp upside for the market ahead.”
On the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, “Bank Nifty ended the session at 52,425.80, down 0.45%. The index has remained range-bound between 51,996 and 53,357 in the last few sessions. A breakout on either side of this zone would confirm the trend and drive the index towards that direction. The daily RSI holds around the 60 level, indicating the potential strength. The 20 DMA at 51,600 also serves as another crucial support level.”
Unveiling the stock market strategy for intraday trading, Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical Analyst at Angel One, said, “It appeared that traders were focusing on opportunities outside the index, as there was notable stock-specific rotation. Today, the FMCG and OIL & GAS sectors were in focus, bucking the trend. Such opportunities may continue to arise, and traders should keep an eye on identifying these themes.”
