Expecting volatility in the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research—Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect markets to remain volatile until concerns relating to the new virus ease out. We could see stock/sector-specific action on the back of pre-quarterly business updates and the start of the Q3 results 2024-25 season."
Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 index, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index is weak, and one may expect some more weakness in the coming sessions. The next lower supports are seen near 23,460 and 23,260 levels. Any upside bounce could find a hurdle around 23,800."
On the outlook for the Nifty Bank index, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta, said, "The Bank Nifty index opened on a flat note, witnessed considerable selling pressure and settled the day on a negative note at 49,922. Technically, the Bank Nifty has formed a big bearish candle on a daily scale, indicating weakness. Moreover, the index broke the 200-Day Exponential Moving Average (200-DEMA) near 50,500 levels. On the downside, 49,700-49,600 will immediately support the index. If the index remains below 50,500, ongoing weakness will continue."
