Indian benchmark indices ended with declines for the second day in a row, dragged by IT stocks, with selling pressure also seen in financials and auto pack. The Nifty continues to remain weak as the index has slipped below the 21 EMA on the hourly chart.Commenting on the current trends, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said that the slip below 21 EMA indicates a rise in bearish bets after two days of a rangebound phase in recent sessions. "The RSI is in a bearish crossover and trending lower, reflecting weakening momentum. During the session, the Nifty found support near the 26,000 level, where the 21 EMA is currently placed. In the near term, the trend may improve and retrace towards 26,200 and higher, provided 26,000 holds decisively. However, a sustained move below 26,000 could trigger further weakness in the market," De said.Here are 2 stock recommendations for Monday: Buy NBCC at Rs 122 | Upside: 11% | Stop Loss: Rs 114 | Target: Rs 130-135NBCC (India) has delivered a strong bullish breakout, closing at Rs 122.06 with a sharp 5% upward move, confirming an upside resolution from the rising channel.
