Updated: 30 Apr 2025, 06:46 AM IST

A comprehensive analysis of the stock market today, including Nifty performance and expert recommendations for buying and selling key stocks.

Stock Market Today

The benchmark Nifty-50 index closed flat on Tuesday, with cautious trading prevailing. The Bank Nifty also ended marginally lower, with metals and pharma sectors facing losses while the IT index gained the most.

Trade Setup for Wednesday

Consolidation is expected to continue in the short term, especially as the Nifty 50 index has yet to break out decisively above 24,550. Support is placed at 24,250, with a breach potentially triggering increased selling pressure in the market.

Domestic and Global Markets

The domestic market exhibited range-bound oscillation, with caution prevailing amid geopolitical concerns. Sustained inflows from FIIs supported market sentiment, while mixed Q4 results raised the risk of downward revisions to FY26 projections.

In combination with concerns surrounding potential retaliatory actions, these developments may lead to some consolidation in the near term.
