Stock market today: Indian equity benchmarks ended lower on Wednesday, 28 October as rising oil prices weighed on investor sentiment. Jio Platforms, however, hogged the limelight after its blockbuster market debut made it the country's second-largest company by market capitalisation.
The Nifty 50 fell 0.22% to close at 22,698.85, while the Sensex declined 0.48% to settle at 73,246.03. Both indices had dropped more than 1% during the session.
Nagaraj Shetti has recommended buying Zydus Lifesciences at ₹1,176, with a stop-loss of ₹1,123 and a target price of ₹1,268. He has also recommended buying Whirlpool of India at ₹830, with a stop-loss of ₹795 and a target price of ₹895. Both stock recommendations are for a timeframe of 2–3 weeks.
After reversing down from near the key hurdle of around 22,800 levels on Tuesday, Nifty 50 witnessed high volatility on Wednesday and closed the day lower by 50 points. A small green candle was formed on the daily chart with upper and long lower shadow. Technically, this market action signals high volatility in the market near the resistance and recovery was observed from the lower levels. The recent swing lows have been in an ascending order, which is signalling one more attempt towards 22,800+ in the near term.
Though, Nifty 50 declined on Wednesday, the underlying trend remains positive within high low range of around 22,500-22,800 levels. Hence, a decisive move above 22,800 is likely to bring renewed buying participation in the market. However, any weakness from here could find support around 22,500 levels.
