Three Undervalued Stocks under ₹100: Analyst Recommendations for 25 May 2026

Indian Stock Market Closes Higher on Friday

The Indian stock market closed higher on Friday, driven by strong gains in banking majors such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank. Benchmark indices stayed in the green throughout the session, although the upside was limited due to elevated crude oil prices and growing inflation concerns, which may prompt tighter monetary policy measures.

The Sensex settled at 75,415.35, gaining 232 points or 0.31%, while the Nifty 50 closed at 23,719.30, up 65 points or 0.27%. The Nifty 50 opened with a marginal gap-up at 23,671.20, reflecting a steady start to the session. The index registered its intraday low of 23,671.00 within the first few minutes itself, as the opening and low levels remained almost identical for the day.

According to Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, the formation of an inverted hammer-like candlestick pattern indicates selling pressure near higher levels despite buying interest from lower zones, reflecting cautious optimism in the near term. On the daily timeframe, immediate support is placed in the 23,400–23,450 range, while resistance is observed between 23,850 and 23,900 levels. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 47.19, indicating gradual improvement in momentum though the index still trades below the stronger bullish zone.

Bank Nifty Sees Strong Buying Momentum

The Bank Nifty index opened with a marginal gap-up at 53,483.85, reflecting positive sentiment in the banking space. The index registered its intraday low of 53,483.55 within the first few minutes itself, as the opening and low levels remained almost identical for the day. Thereafter, the index witnessed strong buying momentum during the first half and rallied sharply towards an intraday high of 54,213.05. Although some profit booking was seen during the early part of the second half, renewed buying interest helped the index recover and close firmly in positive territory at 54,055.35, gaining 615.95 points or 1.15% for the session.
