Hero MotoCorp | New launches and rural recovery to fuel demand
“During 4QFY25, EBITDA margin for Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) stood at 14.2% (flat YoY), in-line with consensus. Realisations grew by 5% YoY (+3% QoQ), primarily led by favourable mix. Near-term domestic demand is expected to be driven by marriage season (May and June). HMCL expects domestic 2W industry to grow by 6-7% in FY26, led by rural recovery, healthy monsoon prediction, reduction in income tax, and increased govt. spending. And, the management believes HMCL to outperform the underlying industry in both the domestic and exports segments, led by its recent / upcoming product launches and entry into new geographies. We are factoring in a moderate volume growth of 5% / 6% for FY26E / FY27E. On the margins front, management has maintained its long-term guidance of 14-16%. However, ramp-up of EV volumes will be a drag on margins to some extent. We re-initiate coverage on HMCL with a BUY rating and a TP of INR 4,700 (16x FY27E),” said Saksham Kaushal of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Nifty Outlook By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
Though we had pencilled in our preference towards upsides to 25200 for yesterday, our conviction level was low given the lack of momentum. But, as it turned out, the early dip provided the launch pad to gain momentum that would spark the eventual surge above 25000 for the first time since October 2024. This move also saw the breakout past the triangular pattern that we had highlighted yesterday. With 74% of Nifty 50 stocks still below upper Bollinger band, the uptrend does have more legs. Yet, with bulk of yesterday’s spike concentrating in an hour post afternoon, opening moves might have a tendency to pull back at least till 24971, before reattempting upswings. Downside marker may be pushed higher to 24806, with an upside objective of 25235.

Market Outlook Today By Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities
The Nifty's strong rebound from the early session lows saw it get past the psychological 25000 barrier and end 1.6% higher. The near-term trend is bullish, but market breadth is suggesting that we are at a point where the upmove may stall and trade through time - note that there is no sign of turning down yet. Resistance extends from 25116 to 25340 while immediate support sits in the 24950 - 25000 area.

Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
When aggressive market activity happens against the near consensus view, the market movement can be sharp. Yesterday’s 550-point spike in Nifty from the lows was a classic case of such unexpected contrarian trend. The near consensus view was that FIIs will slowdown purchases in India and might even turn sellers preferring the cheaper Chinese stocks in view of the emerging US-China trade deal. This explains the sharp rise in cash holdings of the mutual funds and DIIs turning sellers. But the FII’s aggressive contrarian move against the prevailing consensus by buying stocks for Rs 5393 crores surprised the majority of market participants. The consequent short covering in largecaps must have contributed to the sharp 550-point Nifty rally from the lows yesterday. The momentum now clearly favours largecaps. If the FIIs continue with their buy India strategy the market can further surprise on the upside. But the valuations will get stretched eroding the fundamental support to the market.

Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Nifty Bank formed a bullish candle , and attempted to sustains above the channel resistance near 55,500. The price has reclaimed the 20-day SMA, placed at 54,850, which could now act as immediate support. The RSI stands at 61, is comfortably above the median line and indicating improving momentum without being overbought. Additionally, the MACD continues to hover in negative territory but shows early signs of convergence, hinting at a potential crossover if follow-through strength emerges. As long as the index sustains above 54,850, the trend remains sloped to the upside. A decisive close above 55,600 could open the door for a move toward 56,098.70, the recent all-time high.

Nifty Prediction Today By Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
A robust bullish candle has been formed on the daily chart, highlighting the bullish outlook. The widening gap between the 9-day and 20-day exponential moving averages reflects accelerating momentum and trend strength. The next resistance is placed near 25,240, a zone last tested in October 2024. A sustained breakout above this level could potentially drive the index towards 25,650 in the short term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 66, indicating healthy momentum with further room to advance before approaching overbought territory. The support is placed at 24,800. A trend-following approach remains appropriate for the next session.

Bank Nifty Options Market Insights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
On the derivatives front, the tone is tilting modestly toward the bulls. Though call writers are still present at higher zones, a chunk of them seem to be exiting slowly. At the same time, put writers are inching upwards—signaling that buyers are silently strengthening their base. The 56,000 Call has gathered significant OI of 12.01 lakh contracts, marking it as a stiff resistance wall. On the contrary, the 55,000 Put has accumulated heavy OI around 19.19 lakh contracts, establishing it as a solid demand zone in near term. Support clusters seem to be forming in the 54,800–55,000 band where put writers are actively holding fort. The PCR has crept up to 0.93 from 0.82, showing some positive tilt in sentiment but still not hinting it as totally one-sided game. Max Pain continues to be centred at 55,000—indicating it as a potential battle zone between bulls and bears.

Bank Nifty Outlook Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
From the technical lens, the breakout from the resistance zone looks solid, and key supports have flipped into new demand zones, making dips more interesting for accumulation. As long as the index manages to stay afloat above 54,500, the trend stays intact, and dips could be used to add long positions. Upside hurdle is seen near 55,500, and a firm move past that could bring a fresh wave of short covering, dragging the index toward the 56,000 zone. On the flip, any drop below 54,800 might bring mild profit-booking, but dips closer to 54,500 may again invite renewed buying. From momentum angle, the RSI has gradually crawled above the 60 mark on daily chart, showing bulls are picking up pace. Staying above 55,000 could lead to more participation from buyers and fresh follow-through action.

Nifty Options Market Insights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Derivatives setup has started tilting in favour of the bulls. Put writers were busy building positions at higher strikes, which triggered some solid call unwinding—a typical sign of bearish retreat. Call writers were seen shifting upwards to distant strikes, confirming the pressure they’re feeling. The 25,500 call strike now holds the highest open interest at 44.13 lakh contracts, making it a likely resistance cap in the short term. Meanwhile, the 25,000 strike has emerged as a solid base, with 40.32 lakh puts written—clearly a strong demand zone. The OI clusters between 25,000–24,800 support this trend. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) jumped sharply from 0.73 to 1.08, showing a noticeable shift in favour of bullish sentiment. Max Pain is currently stationed at 24,850, hinting that the market’s still waiting for a decisive cue for the next leg.

Nifty Outlook Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Technically, the breakout has come with healthy volumes and rising momentum, making the bullish case even more compelling. Prior resistance zones are now being retested as support—classic signs of strength. As long as the index hovers above 24,800, the broader structure stays firmly in bull territory. Intraday dips are turning into buying zones, and each one seems to be getting absorbed quicker than the last. The next immediate resistance lies near 25,250. A strong close above that could unleash another round of short-covering, possibly propelling Nifty towards the 25,500 mark. On the flip side, if the index dips below 24,800, we may see mild profit booking down to 24,500—which could also offer a fresh entry point for long trades. On the momentum front, the daily RSI has jumped past the 65 zone, underlining rising bullish pressure. Traders should consider adding on dips, and a follow-through move above 25,100 could bring more fire to the rally.
