Market Outlook: Technical Call of The Day & Top 5 Stocks In Focus For October 3

Nifty index opened on a flattish note around the 24,620 zone, with bulls taking charge right from the opening tick, maintaining momentum throughout the session. Supported by the RBI policy outcome, a wave of short covering further fueled the rally, enabling the index to break its nine-day losing streak. Nifty smoothly crossed and held above key hurdles at 24,750-24,800, eventually forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart.

This move negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows seen over the past nine sessions, with the index closing the day with strong gains of 225 points. Now, it needs to hold above the 24,750 zone for an up move towards 25,000, followed by 25,100 levels. On the downside, support is shifting higher to 24,750 and then 24,600.

**Option Front Analysis:**
– Maximum Call Open Interest (OI) is at 25,000 and 24,900 strikes
– Maximum Put OI is at 24,600 and 24,700 strikes
– Call writing observed at 24,950 and 25,000 strikes
– Put writing noted at 24,700 and 24,600 strikes

Option data suggests a broader trading range between 24,300 to 25,300, with an immediate range between 24,600 and 25,100.

S&P BSE Sensex opened on a steady note around the 81,170 zone. Bulls seized control from the start, keeping momentum strong throughout the session. The RBI policy announcement acted as a trigger for short covering, propelling the rally and ending the recent losing streak.

The index comfortably crossed and sustained above key hurdles at 80,500 and 81,000, forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart. This rebound negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows that had persisted recently. Sensex closed the day with robust gains of nearly 700 points.

The index now needs to hold above the 80,600 zone for an upward move towards 81,200 and then 81,500 levels. On the downside, support is rising to 80,600 and then 80,300.

**Bank Nifty** opened flat but witnessed strong buying momentum after the RBI monetary policy outcome, extending gains toward the 55,400 zone late in the session. It formed a large bullish candle on the daily scale, with strong buying seen across private banks.

The Bank Nifty closed near 55,350 with decent gains of around 700 points. This rate-sensitive index is now above its 50-day exponential moving average (DEMA) and is relatively outperforming the broader market.

Key levels to watch:
– Support at 55,000 and 54,750
– Upside targets at 55,750 and 56,000

**Nifty Futures:**

Weakness was observed in Delhivery, Cummins India, AU Bank, Bajaj Auto, Tata Steel, Max Health, Infosys, Tata Elxsi, Petronet, and Ultratech Cement.

### SWSOLAR – Technical Call of the Day

The stock has been trading sideways since early August and witnessed a downward trajectory from the last week of September. However, it has respected its April lows and managed to close above those levels, as highlighted by the trend line on the chart.

In the past two sessions, volumes have picked up, supported by positive RSI divergence visible on daily charts, reflecting a strong bounce back from oversold zones. With a healthy order book, the risk-reward ratio looks favorable for SWSOLAR.

– Buy SWSOLAR
– Current Market Price (CMP): 244.95
