Aniket PujariStocks to buy under ₹100: Following weak global market sentiments, the Indian stock market ended lower for the third straight session on Friday.

Stock market strategy
Speaking on the triggers that may dictate the Indian stock market in the near term, Krishna Appala, Sr. Research Analyst at Capitalmind Research, said, “The combination of income tax cuts and RBI rate cuts creates a favourable environment for economic growth, but its success depends on how effectively tax savings translate into higher consumption and investment. The government’s focus on fiscal discipline alongside an investment-led growth strategy and easing monetary policy suggests a more balanced approach to economic expansion. If inflation remains under control, India could be well-positioned for a steady recovery, making this a crucial period for businesses and investors to capitalize on emerging opportunities.”
On the Nifty 50 index outlook, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “The underlying short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index is weak with high volatility. The market is now at the support of 23,500 to 23,400 levels, and a sustainable upside bounce from the support could pull Nifty towards 23,800 levels again in the near term. However, any breakdown of the support could negate the bullish bet and likely to bring sharp weakness.”
Asked about the Bank Nifty outlook, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, “Crucially, Nifty Bank is holding firm above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 50,120, reinforcing the strength. The immediate hurdle stands at 50,650, and a decisive breakout beyond this zone could open the door for an extended move towards 51,500. With the broader setup remaining constructive, the near-term outlook skews neutral to positive, with price action around key levels dictating the next directional move.”
