Below the Views on Morning Market 26th November 2025 by Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited

Sometimes the market drifts without any apparent logic and reason. The very short-term movement can be against emerging fundamentals. The explanation for this indecisive movement can be found in technicals and market positioning related to futures expiry date. Often, on the expiry date the market witnesses high volatility in response to the speculative activity related to covering the short and long positions. Yesterday’s 74 point fall in Nifty despite the positive institutional buy figure of Rs 4697 crores is a case of such expiry-related volatility. The relevant question is: what should investors do during such indecisive movements in the market. The best strategy for retail investors is to refrain from trading and slowly accumulate fairy-valued  high quality growth stocks which will be available at attractive valuations due to heightened volatility. Such stocks will bounce back soon. Investors’ psychological behaviour is more important in such contexts. 

Fundamentals indicate that the market is moving to a new high: It’s only a question of time. Investors’ response should be based on this understanding.
