Seasonality: October, a month strongest seasonality
Neeraj Agarwal of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, “Globally, markets deal with a deceptively simple concept: Seasonality. In our analysis, it pertains to the consistent pattern of price returns that the underlying asset demonstrates throughout the calendar month. Our analysis for the month of October indicates that the Nifty has shown one of the strongest positive price seasonality. In the last 10 years, the index has closed in the green on 8 occasions with an average and median return of 1.7% and 2.5% respectively. The Nifty Mid-cap index has also exhibited a strongest seasonality, closing in the green on 9 occasions with an average and median return of 2.1% and 2.2% respectively. However, it has managed to outperform the Nifty only on 5 occasions with an average outperformance of 0.4%.”

A range-bound market in the near term?
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, "There are no immediate near-term triggers that can take the market sharply up or down. Up moves may attract selling by FIIs who are likely to move some more money to China and Hong Kong since these markets are cheap and are witnessing an uptrend now. But FII selling is unlikely to push the market down significantly since the ample domestic liquidity can easily absorb such selling. A range-bound market is the near-term scenario and, therefore, the real action will be stock-specific. Since there is no valuation comfort in the market now and the mid and smallcap segments are overvalued, investors should give priority to safety and prefer largecaps. Bank Nifty has more potential to move up and there is valuation comfort in this space."

Market Outlook Today By Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
A late surge pushed the Index higher to end the session above 26,000. The Index has virtually tested its immediate support of 25,850 and reversed to form a bullish candle on the daily chart suggesting a trend continuation to rally till 26,200. In contrast, the support level is shifted higher to 25,950. The technical setup of the banking stocks indicates a continuation of BankNifty's trend. With a DOJI candlestick formation at the record level, a temporary pause can be expected in the Auto sector; however, tyre stocks look promising. We will remain bullish on the Energy, Metal, and Realty sectors. For the IT sector, we will take action after a convincing move on either side of the range.

Sector Update: PSU Banks: Time to boost the festive mood
Neeraj Agarwal of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, the BJP's victory in the Indian General Election for a third consecutive term failed to cheer the PSU sector particularly in the banking space. The PSU Bank index (NSEPSBK) fell from a high of 8,053 on June 3 to a low of 6,503 on September 11, representing a decline of ~19% over 3.5 months. We believe this significant drop offers an opportunity to re-evaluate the sector, with expectations that the PSU Bank index is more likely to outperform the Nifty in the future.

Market Outlook Today By Vaibhav Porwal, co-founder, Dezerv
The current market levels are a reflection of market fundamentals and liquidity flows. Fundamentally the markets should deliver 12-15% returns per annum and therefore we expect 18-24 months for markets to get to these levels. However, there is a strong buying momentum in the market that is fueled by strong liquidity. In such a scenario markets can overextend. Which means that we may see the 100k number shortly.

Nifty Outlook Today By Osho Krishnan, Sr. Analyst, Technical & Derivatives of - Angel One
The benchmark index is showing a strong formation of higher highs, indicating active participation from various sectors, which bodes well for overall market sentiments. As we approach the monthly expiration session, it is important to closely monitor the overheated technical and derivative metrics. Additionally, the Nifty index has been consistently hovering near the upper band of the 'Rising Channel' on the daily time frame, which is anticipated to limit the momentum and requires careful monitoring in the upcoming sessions. Hence, we need to stay vigilant with the developments. As far as levels are concerned, 26200-26250 is the next potent resilience for the benchmark index. On the lower end, 25850-25800 is likely to cushion any short-term blips with a series of support placed from 25700-25500 in positional view. We remain sanguine with strategic risk management and would advise to keep booking profits at the elevated terrain. Additionally, sector churning is prudent and requires exclusivity in stock selection for outperformance. Simultaneously, it is advisable to stay vigilant to global developments.
