Nifty completed the previous session at 22,545.05 after the index fluctuated in a narrow range, reaching an intraday high of 22,613.30 and a low of 22,508.40. Nifty Bank ended at 48,743.80, up 0.28%. India's VIX, the market's fear index, fell 2.97% to 13.30, showing a slight drop in risk sentiment. However, as long as the VIX remains below the critical 15 level, volatility is projected to be limited, resulting in a cautious market mood. Except for banks and metals, all other sectoral indices ended in the negative, with auto, media, energy, capital goods, real estate, and power all down 1-2 percent. The BSE Midcap index dropped 1%, while the small-cap index declined 2%.
Nifty Outlook Today
"Nifty continues to face relentless selling pressure, showing limited signs of a meaningful rebound while encountering stiff resistance at every upward attempt. The 22,700-23,000 range remains a formidable supply zone, while the RSI hovering below 30 signals a lack of upward momentum. Additionally, with the index trading well below its short-term moving averages, a potential mean reversion toward these levels could be possible if it manages to sustain above its key support. The 22,500 level remains the last line of defence for bulls seeking a temporary rebound. However, unless Nifty decisively reclaims 23,000, any upward movement is likely to be short-lived due to persistent call writing and technical headwinds. Given the current market structure and prevailing uncertainties, a 'Sell on Rise' strategy remains the most prudent approach. Immediate resistance stands at 22,700, while critical support rests at 22,500. A conclusive breakout from this range will determine the market's next directional trajectory," commented Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Analyst, SAMCO Securities.

Bank Nifty Outlook Today
"Nifty Bank remains trapped in a phase of persistent selling, showing minimal signs of a strong revival as sellers thwart every rally attempt. The 48,900-49,000 zone continues to pose a stiff challenge, with RSI hovering near 40, suggesting a lack of momentum for a sustained-up move. With the index trading firmly below its 10-day moving average, any recovery attempt hinges on holding above key support levels. The 48,300-mark acts as the final support base for bulls seeking a short-term rebound, but unless Nifty Bank decisively reclaims 49,000, any upward move is likely to be short-lived due to continued call writing pressure and technical headwinds. Considering the prevailing market structure and uncertainty, a 'Sell on Rise' approach remains the most prudent strategy. Immediate resistance is placed at 49,000, while critical support rests at 48,300. A firm breakout beyond this range will determine the next directional move for the index," stated Dhameja, Derivatives.
Stocks To Buy Today

Bayer CropScience (BAYERCROP) is currently trading at ₹4926, having recently rebounded from a key support zone.

In the short term, the stock appears poised to target ₹5271, with momentum building. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 51.55, suggesting a strengthening trend with further upside potential. Additionally, BAYERCROP has closed above its 20-day EMA and is approaching the 50-day and 200-day EMAs. A decisive close above these levels would further validate the bullish outlook.
A sustained move above the ₹4900 resistance level could serve as an ideal entry point for long positions. Traders may consider entering at the current price of ₹4926, with a target of ₹5271 and a stop-loss at ₹4754 to manage risk effectively.
