F&O Talk: 23,270 is a key Nifty hurdle; Sudeep Shah picks 5 stocks, discusses PB Fintech, Turtlemint strategy
Indian markets moved lower.
26 Sept 2026 · Economic Times Markets
Nifty ended at 23,140.50 after an eighth consecutive weekly decline, with technical indicators remaining bearish. Analysts identify 23,300 as key resistance and 23,000 as options-based support, while Pharma and Healthcare remain relatively stronger amid persistent global market pressures and volatility.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
- Sector exposure: Pharma & Healthcare.
- The immediate tone of coverage reads negative.
