Thu Sep 04 04:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Indian Stocks End Lower After Volatile Tuesday Expiry

**Mumbai, India -** Indian benchmark stock indices closed lower on Tuesday after a volatile session marked by the first Tuesday expiry under the new weekly derivatives settlement cycle. The Nifty 50 ended marginally down, while the Sensex retreated sharply, shedding over 700 points from its intraday peak due to profit-taking in heavyweight banking and financial counters.

Despite the overall dip, broader markets showed resilience, with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices closing in the green, indicating continued investor interest in these segments.

Sectoral performance was mixed. Defensive buying fueled gains in FMCG stocks, with the Nifty FMCG index rising by 1.1%. The Nifty Media and Nifty Energy indices also saw positive movement, advancing by 0.99% each. The Nifty Metal index climbed 0.85%, supported by positive global commodity trends. Realty, PSU Banks, and Infrastructure sectors also registered modest gains driven by specific stock performances.

On the other hand, profit-booking impacted the Auto, Private Bank, and Pharma sectors, with the corresponding indices declining by 0.7% and 0.2%, respectively.

Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, noted a cautious to positive sentiment in the market. She highlighted the Nifty 50’s inability to sustain its initial gains and its struggle against the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) resistance level at 24,800. Parekh warned that a breach below the 24,400 support level could lead to further decline, with the 200-DEMA level of 24,000 as the next key support to watch. Conversely, she stated that a decisive move above the 24,800 resistance could signal an improvement in the market’s bias.

Regarding Bank Nifty, Parekh noted that profit booking had weakened its bias. She cautioned that a break below the 200-day DMA of 52900 could trigger a sell-off down to a support zone near the 51700 level.

For intraday trading, Vaishali Parekh recommended the following stocks:

* **RBL Bank:** Buy at ₹268, Target ₹280, Stop Loss ₹262
* **Filatex India:** Buy at ₹53, Target ₹58, Stop Loss ₹50
* **Diamond Power Infrastructure:** Buy at ₹143, Target ₹150, Stop Loss ₹138
