Sumeet Bagadia Picks Three Stocks Amid Nifty’s Bearish Setup
The Indian stock market had a difficult week.
The Nifty 50 fell for the fourth week in a row.
Higher crude oil prices increased worries because of intensifying U.S.-Iran hostilities.
Sumeet Bagadia said the market still looks weak overall.
He said the Nifty may find support near 23,750–23,800.
He also said 24,000–24,050 could be a difficult level to cross.
Despite this, he recommended three stocks for buyers.
These were Tata Steel, Reliance Industries, and Bajaj Finance.
He gave a target price and a stop-loss level for each stock.
Sumeet Bagadia said the Nifty 50 remains in a cautious-to-bearish setup.
He identified 23,750–23,800 as support and 24,000–24,050 as resistance.
The Nifty extended its losing streak to four weeks amid surging crude prices.
Bagadia recommended buying Tata Steel, Reliance Industries, and Bajaj Finance.
India’s 7.8% Q1 FY27 GDP growth and strong GST collections failed to lift sentiment significantly.

Bearish Market Signals
Stock-Specific Buying Opportunities
Overall market direction
Bearish Market Signals
The Nifty 50 was trading below its 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs, with weak RSI momentum and continued selling pressure.
Stock-Specific Buying Opportunities
Bagadia saw potential opportunities in individual stocks showing stabilization, improving buying interest, or support near key moving averages.
Short-term outlook
Bearish Market Signals
A break below 23,750 could trigger further downside, while call open interest around 24,000–24,100 suggested strong resistance.
Stock-Specific Buying Opportunities
A sustained move above 24,050 could improve the Nifty’s near-term structure, and the three recommended stocks had specified upside targets.
Economic data versus sentiment
Bearish Market Signals
Strong Q1 FY27 GDP growth of 7.8% and robust GST collections did not meaningfully overcome worries about rising crude prices.
