Stocks to buy under ₹100: The Indian stock market remained sideways on Thursday as the Nifty 50 index once again remained in the tight 23,500 to 23,700 range. On the Nifty weekly expiry session, the Nifty 50 index finished 139 points lower at the 23,549 mark; the BSE Sensex ended 528 points lower at 77,620, whereas the Bank Nifty Index finished 286 points lower at 49,548. However, the selling pressure extended beyond large-caps, with mid-cap and small-cap indices continuing their downward trajectory. The Nifty Mid-cap 100 Index declined 0.93%, while the Nifty Small-cap 100 Index saw a steeper fall of 1.35%. Market breadth remained decisively negative, with the BSE's advance-decline ratio at 0.45, indicating significantly more declining shares than advancing ones.
Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The Nifty 50 index is currently placed at the downside breakout of the support of around 23,500 levels (previous swing lows). A decisive slide below the said support could open the next downside of around 23,260 and lower in the short term. Immediate resistance is at 23,700."
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, "Bank Nifty opened on a negative note, extended its weakness, and settled the day on a negative note at 49,504. Technically speaking, Bank Nifty sustained below its 250-day Simple Moving Average (250-DSMA) support and formed a red candle on a daily scale, indicating weakness. The 250-DSMA is placed near 49,900, which will operate as a powerful barrier for the index, followed by 50,740, where 200-DSMA is located. As long as Bank Nifty maintains below 50,740 levels, traders are advised to book profits on the bounce."
