Stock market today: Despite strong global market sentiments on the US Fed rate cut buzz, the Indian stock market remained sideways on Friday last week. The Nifty 50 index finished marginally higher at 24,168, whereas the BSE Sensex went off 53 points and closed at 79,478. The Bank Nifty index crashed 443 points and ended at 52,290.

Trade setup for Monday
On the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “Previously, a similar type of formation on 24th June has resulted in a sustainable upside move for the subsequent week. This is a positive indication. The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be positive. There is a possibility of an upside breakout hurdle around 24,400 to 24,500 levels in the next few sessions. Immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 24,170 levels.”
On the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, “The Bank Nifty opened with a gap down and remained under pressure throughout the day, led by HDFC Bank. Finally, Bank Nifty settled the day negatively at 52,660 levels. From a technical standpoint, the index is consolidating in the band of 52,000-53,200. Either side’s breakout will set the index’s further direction.”
Unveiling the Indian stock market strategy for intraday trading, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal, said, “After a run-up of ~7% in the last month, we expect the market to consolidate at a higher zone. In this week, we expect stock and sector-specific action as the market starts taking cues from Q1FY25 earnings. On the macro front, investors will look for inflation data that India, the US, and China will release.”
