Here’s his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty, and the top stock picks for February 5, 2026:Index View: NiftyNifty has been on a roller coaster from the start of this calendar month with India VIX seeing over 80% gain in volatility from January 01, 2026.

With large gap up opening unable to sustain, the gap between last week highs and this week’s low is likely to get filled sooner this month. This gap however, should be used to create longs with support seen at the rising 200 DMA for targets of 25940 / 26100.Bank NiftyBank Nifty has already done what we are expecting Nifty to do, which is it has tested its last week’s highs in yesterday’s volatile session.

Breaking of current week’s low and reversing near 59700 odd is likely to be used as an opportunity to create fresh longs on the index, as Bank Nifty has experienced 59650 as significant resistance over the past 9 weeks of trade and the same is likely to act as support based on classical technical thesis.PETRONET (BUY):

After its initial breakout from 15 month sloping trendline, PETRONET had been lacking triggers making it wait within a 6-8% band.

With the 200 DMA now supportively reclaimed and stock closing at 6 month highs, momentum buyers could come in.

Given the set up an 8-10% rally can unfold.MRPL (BUY):

MRPL has recovered over 30% in the last 9 trading sessions given its reversal from the 200 DMA support.

A repetitive higher low formation was also seen on weekly charts of the same.

Stock is on the verge of closing at 16 month highs on weekly charts if it retains at CMP until Friday’s close which also corresponds to an end to the stock’s 2 year corrective phase.CCL (BUY):

CCL had been consolidating for the past 12 weeks with a negative bias correcting over 15% from its all time highs.

With lower high formations seen from the start of this calendar year and a trendline breakout of this consolidation seen this week, prices indicate a start of a fresh up move unfolding back to its previous highs.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts are their own.
