Buy or sell stocks for today: Following weak global sentiments, the Indian stock market ended lower for the fifth straight session on Thursday. The Nifty 50 index, which represents the performance of the top 50 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), crashed 345 points and closed below the 22,000 mark at 21,957. The BSE Sensex, the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), tanked 1062 points and finished at 72,404, while the Bank Nifty index, which tracks the performance of the banking sector, nosedived 533 points and ended at a 47,487 level.

However, the broad market indices, which provide a more comprehensive view of the market, fell more than the Nifty 50 index even as the advance-decline ratio, which measures the number of advancing stocks to declining stocks, fell sharply to 0.17:1 (lowest since March 13, 2024).

Stock market today
On the outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh adopts a cautious approach. She said, “The Nifty 50 index, after witnessing a double top formation near the 22,800 zone, has slipped quite significantly with profit booking eroding the gains and currently has breached below the important 100 period MA at 22,000 level with bias and sentiment maintained with a cautious approach and has the next significant support near 21,750 levels. With the overall bias and sentiment precariously placed, it would need a decisive move above the important 50EMA level of 22,250 to improve the situation from current levels and anticipate a further rise.”
“The Bank Nifty index has slipped below the 50EMA level of 47,700 zones, weakening the bias, and has 46,600 levels as the important zone which needs to be sustained to maintain the trend intact,” said Parekh.
Parekh added that immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 21,800 while the resistance would be at 22,100 levels. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 47000-48000 levels.
