Stocks to buy: Nykaa and Concor looking attractive, here’s why

Indian stock market: The Nifty remained within the defined range of 23,300-23,500. The short-term sentiment is likely to remain more or less positive. Support levels are seen at 23,400/23,300, where put writers have built significant positions. A decisive fall below these levels might shift the market balance in favor of the bears. Until then, it’s a buy-on-dips market. On the higher end, a decisive move above 23,500 might lead to a sharp upside in the near term.

Bank Nifty

The BankNifty continued its consolidation phase and was unable to surpass the 50000 mark, where the highest open interest is built up on the call side. The index needs to decisively surpass the 50200 mark to confirm an upside breakout towards the 51000 level. The lower-end support is placed at the 49500-49400 zone, and a break below this will open gates for further downside towards 49000.
