Nifty 50 Trade Setup:
The Indian stock market witnessed robust growth in October 2025, with the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex rising by 4.5% and 4.6%, respectively — marking their biggest monthly jump in seven months. This rally was fueled by strong quarterly earnings and renewed foreign investor confidence. According to NSDL, foreign portfolio investors turned net buyers in October, investing around ₹14,610 crore into Indian equities after three months of selling.
However, the first week of November began with mild weakness. On the last trading day, Nifty 50 fell 0.6% to 25,722, while the Sensex slipped 0.55% to 83,938, mainly due to profit booking in private banks. Market sentiment was also affected by SEBI’s revised index eligibility guidelines, which are set to be implemented by March 2026.
Experts say the near-term trend looks cautious. Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, noted that Nifty is likely to remain weak as long as it trades below 25,850, with possible downside levels near 25,525.
Despite the short-term volatility, several stocks have shown strong technical setups. Analysts have identified eight stocks that could offer potential gains:
Aurobindo Pharma (Target: ₹1,224)
IDFC First Bank (Target: ₹87.5)
Hindustan Unilever (HUL) (Target: ₹2,620)
KFin Technologies (Target: ₹1,140)
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) (Target: ₹150)
Tourism Finance Corporation of India (Target: ₹73) VRL Logistics (Target: ₹297)
Bajaj Consumer Care (Target: ₹295)
Meanwhile, global cues such as US-China trade negotiations and gold price movements are expected to influence Indian markets. Analysts believe that any dip in quality sectors could present buying opportunities as corporate growth and foreign inflows remain strong.
