Dussehra pick: Sumeet Bagadia recommends this stock to buy with 11% upside | Stock Market News

Indian stock market: The Indian market closed lower on Friday, dragged down by auto and banking stocks. While gains in pharma and metal sectors offered some support, they weren’t enough to lift the indices. As a result, the Nifty 50 declined by 0.14%, marking its third consecutive close below 25,000 at 24,964. Meanwhile, the Sensex finished the session with a 0.28% loss, closing at 81,381.
“The Nifty has been trading in a sideways range of 25,200 – 25,800 for the past six consecutive days. It has now closed below the 25,000 level, facing resistance at 25,044, where the 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is positioned. Price action suggests that the index may remain in a sideways to bearish trend. A decisive break below 24,900 could lead to further corrections towards 24,400 and 24,200. On the flip side, fresh buying opportunities may only emerge if the Nifty decisively moves above the 25,400 – 25,500 zone,” said brokerage firm Choice Broking in a note.
It further added, “In terms of options data, significant Open Interest (OI) on the put side is concentrated around the 24,500 and 24,000 levels, indicating strong support in these areas. On the call side, notable OI concentrations are seen at the 25,500 level, suggesting this will act as a resistance zone in the near term.”
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, has recommended State Bank of India (SBIN) to buy on the occasion of Dussehra, with an upside potential of 11 per cent.
