How does market react on Muhurat trading days? According to historical data, Nifty 50 has consistently closed in positive territory during the last five Muhurat trading sessions (2020–2024), delivering returns in the range of 0.40% to 0.90% on each occasion. This year, too, led by a blend of supportive technical indicators and improving fundamentals, overall market sentiment remains optimistic. Muhurat trading strategy The Union Budget 2025–26’s announcement of zero income tax for individuals earning up to Rs. 1 lakh per month, coupled with the government’s move to rationalise the four-tier GST structure into two primary slabs, underscores a strong policy focus on stimulating domestic consumption, said Vishnu Kant Upadhyay, AVP -Research & Advisory, Master Capital Services.

Reliance DRC share price ended 2.84% after the announcement of Q2 results 2025 on Friday Asit Manohar Published 20 Oct 2025, 08:01 AM IST Video thumbnail Q2 results 2025: According to stock market experts, Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries has reported a strong set of numbers in Q2FY26. Reliance share price: Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries (RIL) reported its Q2 results 2025 on Friday after the market close. The Sensex heavyweight reported a 16 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) at ₹22,146 crore for the July-September quarter of the current financial year (Q2FY26). The company's PAT was ₹19,101 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. After the robust Reliance Industries Q2 results 2025, Reliance DRC share price surged 2.84%, which signals a gap-up opening for Reliance shares on Monday on Dalal Street. According to stock market experts, Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries has reported a strong set of numbers in Q2FY26. They said the Sensex heavyweight has reported a 9.90% increase in YoY revenue, receiving contribution from the diversified business's Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL), and Oil to Chemicals (O2C), etc. They said that Reliance DRC shares at the London Stock Exchange reacted strongly after the announcement of Reliance Industries' Q2 results 2025 and finished 2.84% higher at $65.20 apiece, which signals a gap-up opening for Reliance shares. Reliance Industries Q2 results 2025 review Expecting a gap-up opening for Reliance shares after strong Q2 results 2025, Seema Srivastava, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities, said, "Reliance Industries Limited has delivered a robust performance in the second quarter of FY26, with a 9.9% year-over-year increase in gross revenue to ₹283,548 crore ($31.9 billion). The company's diversified portfolio, including Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL), and Oil to Chemicals (O2C), has contributed to this growth. JPL revenue increased by 14.9% year-over-year, driven by industry-leading subscriber growth, sustained improvement in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), and the continued ramp-up of digital service offerings. RRVL revenue grew by 18% year-over-year, with significant growth across consumption baskets, particularly in grocery and fashion, which delivered market-leading performances with 23% and 22% growth, respectively." On how she looks at the Reliance Industries Q2 results, Seema Srivastava of SMC Global Securities, said, "Overall, Reliance's Q2FY26 results demonstrate its resilience and adaptability in a dynamic market environment. By leveraging its integrated assets, strong brand portfolio, and focus on innovation, Reliance is well-positioned to navigate future challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities, driving long-term value for its stakeholders." What Reliance DRC share price signal? The SMC Global Securities expert said that Reliance Industries' Q2 results were declared on Friday after the close of the Indian stock market. However, investors may have a cue from the London Stock Market, where Reliance shares are listed. Reliance DRC share price witnessed strong buying interest after the announcement of second quarter results for the financial year 2025-56 and finished close to 3% higher. So, investors may expect a gap-up opening for Reliance shares when the Indian stock market re-opens on Monday. Reliance share price target On the outlook of the Reliance share price, Ganesh Dongre said, "Given this technical setup, traders and investors may consider adopting a 'buy on dips' approach, particularly near the ₹1,380 level, which now serves as a strong support zone. This area provides an attractive entry point with a favourable risk–reward ratio for medium- to long-term investors. Positions can be held or accumulated with a stop loss placed at ₹1,340, while targeting an upside potential towards ₹1,480 to ₹1,500." Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Stocks to buy for short term: Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi recommends three shares, including BDL and Tata Power, for the next one to two weeks. (Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers) Stocks to buy for short term: The Indian stock market benchmark, Nifty 50, ended above 25,700 on Friday, October 17, extending gains to the third consecutive session. On a weekly scale, too, the index rose for the third consecutive week on stable Q2 results and valuation comfort in large-caps. The coming week is a truncated one due to the Diwali holiday. The BSE and the NSE will be closed on Tuesday, October 21, for Diwali and Laxmi Pujan, and on Wednesday, October 22, for Diwali Balipratipada. In the coming week, news flows on US tariffs and trade deals, Q2 earnings trends, and the rupee's movement will dictate the market movement. Also Read | Indian stock market next week: 5 key factors that will drive Dalal Street Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Technical Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, underscored that the Nifty 50 is currently above all key moving averages, reflecting strong underlying trend strength. On the indicator front, MACD has generated a bullish crossover, which acted as a catalyst for the recent rally. Patel said from the September 2025 bottom of 24,587.70, the Nifty 50 has rallied 1,194 points, translating into 4.86 per cent gains in a short span, without any meaningful pullback. "At this juncture, the index appears overextended, and a brief profit-booking or sideways correction over the next three to four sessions cannot be ruled out. Immediate support is placed at 25,500–25,400, while resistance is seen in the 25,800–26,000 zone," said Patel. "Similar to the Nifty 50, Bank Nifty too looks overextended, which raises the probability of a short-term pullback or consolidation in the coming sessions. Supports are placed at 57,300 and 57,000, while resistance is seen around 58,000–58,200," Patel said. Overall, Patel said, while the medium-term structure remains bullish, a short-term corrective phase or range-bound action is healthy for the market after such a strong up move. "Traders should adopt a buy-on-dips approach, keeping a close watch on support zones for fresh entry opportunities," said Patel.

Bharat Dynamics (BDL) | Previous close: ₹1,540 | Buying range: ₹1,550–1,500 | Target price: ₹1,725 | Stop loss: ₹1,410 Patel said BDL has shown strong base creation near the 200 EMA and 200 SMA, indicating a solid demand zone and long-term support. A trendline breakout has recently been confirmed, accompanied by a surge in volume, reflecting renewed bullish participation. On the momentum front, the RSI is also breaking out from its trendline, further strengthening the bullish outlook. This confluence of signals suggests that the stock may be gearing up for an upward move. "One can initiate long positions in the ₹1,550–1,500 zone with an upside target of ₹1,725. A stop loss should be placed below ₹1,410 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively. A sustained move above the breakout zone could accelerate the momentum and open the door for further gains," said Patel. Bharat Dynamics technical chart Bharat Dynamics technical chart Tata Power Company | Previous close: ₹397.80 | Buying range: ₹400–395 | Target price: ₹435 | Stop loss: ₹375 Patel pointed out that Tata Power Company has been witnessing strong consolidation above the 200 EMA and 200 SMA, indicating firm support and base building at lower levels. Recently, the stock has confirmed a trendline breakout, supported by a MACD bullish crossover just above the zero line, signalling strengthening momentum. "This confluence of technical signals points towards a potential continuation of the uptrend. Traders may consider going long in the ₹400–395 zone for an upside target of ₹435, while maintaining a stop-loss at ₹375 on a daily closing basis," said Patel. "A sustained move above the breakout zone could attract fresh buying interest and lead to a strong follow-through rally in the near term," Patel said. Tata Power Company technical chart Tata Power Company technical chart Varun Beverages (VBL) | Previous close: ₹461.55 | Buying range: ₹463–455 | Target price: ₹505 | Stop loss: ₹430 Patel pointed out that VBL has witnessed a sharp correction of nearly 19 per cent from its recent peak of around ₹534 and is currently trading near the ₹460 mark. Encouragingly, the stock has started forming a higher high and higher low structure, signalling early strength. "A bullish alternate bat pattern is visible in the ₹435–440 support zone, accompanied by hidden bullish divergence on the MACD daily chart, which indicates underlying buying momentum," said Patel. Adding to the positive setup, a parabolic SAR breakout has also emerged, further supporting a potential trend reversal. "Technically, this confluence of signals suggests a favourable risk-reward entry. Traders are advised to buy in the ₹463–455 zone with a target of ₹505 and a stop loss at ₹430 on a daily closing basis. Sustained momentum above the recent swing high may accelerate the upside in the coming sessions," Patel said.
