Nifty’s Best Case Target & Top Stock Bets For 2026| IPO Wave Set To Get Bigger| Opening Bell Live
The Nifty 50 remained under pressure for the third consecutive session, slipping 0.4 percent on December 29 ahead of the monthly F&O expiry due on December 30. The index broke below short-term moving averages, with momentum indicators turning bearish. Immediate support is seen at the 50-day EMA around 25,830, followed by a key support zone at 25,726. A decisive break below this level could negate the higher-high higher-low structure and hand control to the bears. However, a sustained hold and rebound above these levels could revive the uptrend and open the door toward 26,300, experts said. Global cues remain subdued on the penultimate trading day of 2025, with the GIFT Nifty signalling another weak start. What are the key levels and outlook for the Nifty as we head into 2026, and which are the top stock bets? Meanwhile, 2025 has been a record year for IPOs, with 2026 expected to be even bigger. Should investors be more cautious going forward?
