Expert Trading Strategies for Nifty and Stocks Amid Market Volatility
content:
Market weakness persists as Nifty struggles below 25,450 and Bank Nifty trades under 60,900. Sectorally, banking, FMCG, and realty stocks face pressure, while Tejas Networks surges 13% on new orders. With 1,322 advances vs 1,535 declines on NSE, midcaps flatline and smallcaps dip 0.25%.
Technical Analysis: Critical Levels
Kotak Securities VP Amol Athawale identifies 25350 as Nifty’s make-or-break support, coinciding with the 200-day moving average. Resistance emerges at 25,650 (20-DMA). "Until this resistance breaks, expect range-bound consolidation," he asserts. Bank Nifty’s trajectory hinges on holding 60,900.

- NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang clarifies: "AI won’t replace software but enhance tools," countering sector fears.
