The Nifty index closed lower on Friday, primarily affected by declines in IT stocks and ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. Senior Technical Analyst Rupak De from LKP Securities noted that the index faced resistance at its 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), leading to a drop below 24,000. The outlook appears bearish, with projections suggesting a potential decline towards 23,500 unless the index breaks above the immediate resistance level of 24,200. In this context, analysts recommend buying shares of Dr. Aster DM Healthcare at prices between Rs 700-705, targeting Rs 760, which represents an 8% upside. The stock has shown a classic cup-and-handle breakout, supported by a rising Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 57 and increased trading volumes. Additionally, AU Small Finance Bank is advised for purchase at Rs 1,060-1,065, with a target of Rs 1,150, also indicating an 8% potential gain. The stock has recently achieved all-time highs, supported by strong volume and a bullish RSI above 60.
