Nifty outlook, stocks to buy today: Chandan Taparia's trading guide, May 14
Nifty share price:
The Nifty index opened on a slightly negative note on Tuesday, and witnessed volatile swings on both sides during the first hour of trade. Until midday, the buy-on-dips strategy was working well as the index took support multiple times near the 24,700 zone. However, in the second half, Nifty share price slipped below the 24,700 mark, indicating profit booking after a sharp rally of over 900 points in the previous session.
The break below the support level suggests some cooling off in momentum, though the broader trend still remains positive. It has formed a bearish candle on the daily frame and has formed higher lows over the last two trading sessions. Nifty share price has to cross and hold above 24,750 zone for an upmove towards 25,000 then 25,200 zones. Nifty supports are placed at 24,500, and then 24,350.
On the options front, Maximum Call OI is at 25,000, followed by 25,500 strike, while Maximum Put OI is at 24,000, followed by 23,500 strike. Call writing is seen at 25,000 and 24,800 strike, while Put writing is seen at 24,200 and 24,000 strike. Option data suggests a broader trading range between 24,100 to 25,100 zones, while an immediate range between 24,400 to 24,800 levels.
Bank Nifty share price
Bank Nifty Index opened marginally lower but remained highly volatile in a wider range of 500 points, between 55,000 to 55,500 zones in the initial hour of the session. Later, Index failed to hold the 55,250-zone and gradually drifted lower towards 54,900 levels in the latter part of the session. It formed a small bearish candle on daily scale as some cool off was seen from higher zones and closed near 55,000 zones. Now it has to cross and hold above 55,000 zones for a bounce towards 55,555, followed by 55,750 levels while on the downside support is seen at 54,750 and 54,500 zones.

Sensex plunges 1% as Israel-Iran tensions, plane crash spook investors
India's stock market fell by 1% on Thursday, hurt by renewed geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, and volatility ahead of the weekly Nifty futures and options (F&O) expiry. A London-bound Air India plane crashed soon after taking off from Ahmedabad, further denting investor sentiment. The Nifty 50 index closed 1.01%, or 253 points, lower at 24,888.20 on Thursday - its steepest decline since 20 May. The 30-share Sensex fell 1%, or 823 points, to settle at at 81,691.98. The market sell-off was broad-based, with the Nifty Smallcap index falling 1.44% and the Nifty Midcap index closing 1.6% lower. The texture of the market also appears bearish for now as Nifty saw a heavy build-up of calls. The fall in the Nifty 50 index was also accompanied by a jump of 7% in open interest of active Nifty futures contract.

'A decisive break below this level could lead the index back into a consolidation phase," said Ajit Mishra, senior vice-president, research, Religare Broking Ltd. The BSE market capitalization fell by ₹6.09 trillion to ₹$5.26 trillion. A fresh flare-up in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East - media reports suggest Israel is preparing for military strikes against Iran - triggered a sell-off in other Asian markets as well. Except for South Korea's Kospi index, all Asian indices closed in the red. Among the ones that fell the most were Hong Kong's Hang Seng index, down 1.31%, followed by Taiwan's Taiex that lost 0.81%, and Japan's Nikkei index that declined 0.65%. Germany's DAX index was down 1.01% and the Euro Stoxx 50 index fell 0.86%. "With returns expected to largely moderate to around 10-12% as opposed to high double digits of the past years, one needs to tread very cautiously in this market," said Nilesh Shah, managing director at Kotak AMC, adding that asset allocation was key.

Analysts decode factors & top stock ideas An Air India flight, with 242 passengers on board, crashed in Ahmedabad during take-off for London. The incident happened between 1 pm and 2 pm on Thursday. "There appears to be no survivor in the crash," Ahmedabad police commissioner G.S. Malik told AFP. "And since the airplane has fallen on an area which was residential and had some offices, there are more casualties as well". 'We have retrieved 204 bodies and 41 injured persons taken to hospital," Malik said. Alok Agarwal, head of quant and fund manager at Alchemy Capital Management, said that the Q4FY25 earnings of Nifty 500 grew by over 11%, though this average was dragged down by the Nifty 50 companies, which posted only about 3% growth. 'Excluding the top 50 companies of the Nifty 500, the remaining 450 companies showed a strong earnings growth of over 20%, indicating broad-based strength in the market, in our view. While the headline numbers appear modest due to the underperformance of large-cap companies, the overall Q4FY25 earnings season has been reasonably good."
