Stocks to buy: Rajesh Palviya of Axis Sec suggests L&T Tech, Torrent Pharma, JK Tyre shares today

Stock market today: India's stock indices started slightly lower on Friday, with investors split over the Reserve Bank of India's policy decision, as strong economic expansion and a declining rupee complicate the argument for a rate reduction. The RBI's announcement is expected at 10:00 IST.

The Nifty 50 dropped 0.13% to 25,999.8, while the Sensex decreased 0.16% to 85,125.48 as of 9:15 IST.

India's economy recorded its fastest growth in 18 months during the September quarter, driven by strong consumer spending, while retail inflation fell to a historic low in October.

Anticipations of a rate cut diminished following the better-than-expected growth figures and the recent depreciation of the rupee.

Share Market Tips and Nifty 50 Outlook by Rajesh Palviya, SVP - Technical and Derivatives Research, Axis Securities

Nifty 50

For the past three weeks, the benchmark index has been consolidating within 26,300-25,800 levels, indicating a short-term sideways trend. This consolidation is strongly supported by the 20-day SMA (25,967), which remains a crucial support zone. The index is well placed above its 20, 50, 100 and 200-day SMA's which reconfirms positive bias. From current levels, we expect this momentum to extend towards 26,300-26,500 levels. The crucial support is placed around 25,800 levels. The daily strength indicator RSI is in negative territory, which indicates a lack of strength.
