Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50 to India VIX, four stocks to buy or sell on Wednesday — May 8

Stock market today: Immediate resistance for the Nifty 50 index is placed at 22,400 levels, say experts.

Stock market today: After showing a sideways movement (a term used to describe a market that is neither trending up nor down) with a weak bias (a slight inclination towards a particular direction) on Monday, the Indian stock market slipped into the weakness zone (a period of declining prices) with range-bound action (a situation where the price of a security trades in a narrow band) and ended lower on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index dipped 140 points and closed at the 22,302 mark, the BSE Sensex corrected 383 points and closed at the 73,511 level, while the Bank Nifty index lost 609 points and finished at the 48,285 mark. India VIX index ended 2.45 percent higher at 17.01 after hitting a new 52-week peak of 17.64 mark, logging over 35 percent rise on one week. Declining shares outnumbered the advancing shares as the advance-decline ratio stood at 0.40 on BSE, the lowest since 15th April 2024. All the sectoral Indices are closed in red (a term used to indicate a negative performance) except Nifty FMCG and Nifty IT. Nifty Reality, Metal, and PSU Banks fell the most among them.

Trade setup for Wednesday

On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “The lower tops and bottoms on the daily chart are intact, and the present weakness could be in line with the new higher bottom formation of the pattern. The higher bottom reversal must be confirmed with an upside bounce from the lows. Immediate resistance for the Nifty 50 index is placed at 22,400 levels; the next lower levels will be watched around 22,100 to 22,000.”

On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said, “On the hourly chart, a head and shoulders pattern has emerged, with the index already breaking below the neckline. More weakness is anticipated in the coming days, potentially pushing the index towards 47700. Resistance is observed at 48800 on the higher end.”

On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta, said, “Domestic benchmark indices opened higher on Tuesday, aided by favourable global clues. However, after some initial jitters, the market saw massive profit bookings, with the Volatility Index (India VIX) jumping by about 6%. Later in the day, volatility decreased, and the index closed at 22,302. Technically, the index created a bearish engulfing candle last week, indicating weakness. The index settled below the low of the bearish engulfing candle and the 34-Day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) support, suggesting further pessimism.”
