Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that overall Indian stock market bias has weakened as the Nifty 50 index has slipped decisively below 24,000 mar. The Choice Broking expert said the 50-stock index has crucial support placed at 200-DEMA, which is at the 23,800 mark. The Choice Broking expert added that Indian stock market bias may remain weak until it is below the 24,000 level.

Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Sumeet Bagadia said, “Overall, the Indian stock market bias has turned weak as the Nifty 50 index has lost the 24,000 mark decisively. Now, the 50-stock index has crucial support placed at 200-DEMA and breaching below this mark (23,800 level) may further intensify the selling pressure in the Indian stock market. Even if this support remains sacrosanct, Dalal Street bias may remain sideways to negative until it regains the 24,000 peak and breaks above 24,300 decisively. So, one should maintain a stock-specific approach and look at breakout stocks for intraday trading.”
