Breakout stocks to buy or sell: After a subdued start, the Indian stock market registered a strong recovery on Wednesday. However, the frontline indices failed to recover the losses and ended lower. The Nifty 50 index finished 122 points lower at the 24,918 mark, the BSE Sensex corrected 398 points and closed at 81,523, whereas the Bank Nifty index ended 262 points lower at 51,010. In the broad market, the Small-cap index crashed 0.57 per cent, while the Mid-cap index ended 0.52 per cent lower.
Speaking on the Nifty 50 index outlook, Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical Analyst at Angel One, said, "Prices have again fallen below the 20 EMA, weakening their position and suggesting a potential retest of Monday's low around the 24750 level. If this support is broken, further weakness could push prices toward the 24500 mark. On the upside, 25100 - 25150 remains a strong resistance zone. The key levels to monitor on the weekly expiry day are 25000 - 25100 on the upside and 24800 - 24750 on the downside."
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta, said, "Bank Nifty started the day on a flat-to-negative note, recovering slightly in the first half but faced selling pressure in the second half, ultimately closing negatively at 51,010. The index formed a red candle on the daily chart, reflecting weakness. On the downside, the 100-DEMA support is placed near 50,250, serving as a key level for Bank Nifty. On the upside, the 51,400-51,420 zone is a short-term hurdle. A sustainable move above 51,420 could push Bank Nifty towards 51,800-52,000 levels."
Stocks in Asia rose Thursday after a tech-fueled rally lifted Wall Street as traders looked beyond elevated core US inflation to imminent rate cuts next week.

US futures changed slightly after the S&P 500 closed 1.1% higher Wednesday, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose 2.2%. Nvidia Corp. gained 8.2% as chipmakers rallied.
