Stocks to buy: Motherson and SAIL among top bets, here’s why

Indian stock market: Nifty slipped lower as it experienced a consolidation breakdown in the lower timeframe. The sentiment appears somewhat negative for the short term. However, there is observed support at 22500 on a closing basis. As long as it maintains above 22500 on a closing basis, we do not anticipate a significant correction in the market. Sustained trading above 22500 could potentially push the index towards 22650-22700 once more. Conversely, a drop below 22500 might initiate a correction of 200-250 points on the downside.

Bank Nifty

The Bank Nifty index experienced significant selling pressure, marking a return of bearish momentum after a prolonged period. The index is currently facing strong resistance at the 49,000 mark, and only a decisive close above this level could revive the upward trend towards the 50,000 mark. Immediate support for the index is established at 48,000, where the highest open interest on the put side has been observed. A breach below this level could intensify the selling pressure.
