The recommendations come amid heightened market volatility and a weak trend in benchmark indices.

Market outlook: Nifty and Bank Nifty under pressure

Market analysts said benchmark indices remain under pressure as investors navigate uncertain global conditions. The Nifty 50 recently closed at a 10.5-month low, trading broadly within the 23,700–24,300 range, with further downside possible if the lower band breaks.

Rising volatility has also been reflected in the India VIX, which climbed above the 20 mark during the week, signalling wider daily swings in the market. Meanwhile, the Nifty Bank has slipped below its 200-day moving average after nearly 11 months, indicating weakness in banking stocks.

Stocks to buy: INOX India, Apollo Hospitals

Analysts say INOX India could see further upside after technical indicators signalled a breakout.

The stock has broken out of a long consolidation phase and is supported by bullish chart patterns such as a cup-and-handle formation and a pole-and-flag structure, which often indicate continuation of an upward trend.

Another buy recommendation is Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, which has remained resilient despite the broader market correction.

According to the analysis, hospital stocks have largely remained insulated from global market volatility, attracting investor flows as defensive plays during uncertain periods. Market watchers say Apollo Hospitals could attempt a move towards fresh highs if the current momentum continues.

Stock to sell: TVS Motor

In contrast, analysts have issued a sell recommendation on TVS Motor Company.

The stock has broken down from a seven-month rising trendline, which had supported its outperformance within the auto sector since mid-2025. Technical indicators suggest the price could drift towards earlier support levels near its November lows.
