Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, says that the market has become cautious after Wednesday’s sharp decline. He mentioned that for the Nifty 50 index to maintain a positive outlook, it needs to stay above 24,000. A new rally could begin if the index breaks above the 24,450 to 24,500 level. Bagadia recommends focusing on specific stocks as the Q1 results for 2024 will be crucial for the market.
Today’s Stock Recommendations
