“Trading Plan for Today”

With indices flat but volatility under the surface, intraday traders can look for mean‑reversion trades near supports around 26,000 on Nifty and resistance near the recent peaks around 26,300, using tight stop‑losses. Stock‑specific opportunities remain in consumption, autos and select industrial plays, while weak trends in oil & gas and broader smallcaps argue for avoiding blind bottom‑fishing. Short‑term view stays “buy on dips in leaders, sell on rises in weak sectors” until the index gives a decisive breakout or breakdown from this narrow band
