How the Previous Stock Calls Performed on May 11
Pranit had flagged two long and three short positions in his earlier video. All five calls moved in the expected direction during the May 11 session.
- MV Photovoltaic (Long): Rose 3.25% on May 11, hitting an intraday peak gain of 6%. Top performer among all five picks.
- MCX (Long): Continued to hold up as a buying opportunity on the back of strong Q4 results and rising commodity trading volumes in India.
- Asian Paints (Short): Fell 1.3% on May 11 as crude oil above $104 pressured raw material costs for the paints sector.
- IndiGo (Short): Dropped 5% on May 11, the sharpest decline among all five calls, as jet fuel costs surged with crude.
- Pidilite (Short): Declined approximately 3% as crude-linked adhesive input costs weighed on the stock.

What the May 11 Signals Mean for the Next Session
Nifty 23,550: The Support Level That Held
On May 11, Nifty fell nearly 150 points intraday and tested the 23,550 support zone that Pranit had identified. This level is backed by strong option chain data where significant Put writing has been observed. A confirmed hold above 23,550 in the previous session is a positive setup for buyers in the next session.
PCR at 0.57: Oversold Conditions in Play
The Nifty Put-Call Ratio closed at 0.57 on May 11. A PCR below 0.7 indicates the market was in slightly oversold territory, with excessive bearish positioning built up during the session. When the PCR dips this low, it historically precedes a mean-reversion bounce in the next one to two sessions as short sellers begin covering positions. GIFT Nifty futures were also confirming the oversold reading at the time of Pranit’s video.
Intraday Strategy for the Next Session
IOCL Futures: Watch for Short Opportunity
Pranit flags IOCL (Indian Oil Corporation) futures as technically weak. With crude oil widening OMC under-recoveries and no price-hike relief yet announced, IOCL may offer a short-selling opportunity at intraday resistance in the next session. Wait for volume confirmation at resistance before entering.
Accumulate Quality Stocks at Dips
Pranit’s broader recommendation remains to add fundamentally strong stocks with solid Q4 FY26 results during any dip rather than panicking at short-term volatility. MV Photovoltaic and MCX are live examples of stocks that rewarded the dip-buyers in the May 11 session.

Pranit Arora’s Stock Market Today Outlook: Final Corrective Leg Before a Rally?
Pranit’s assessment of the May 11 session is that the Nifty decline to 23,550 with a PCR of 0.57 and oversold GIFT Nifty readings likely represents the final phase of the current short-term correction rather than the beginning of a deeper downtrend. His December 2026 Nifty outlook remains constructive provided 23,550 continues to act as a floor and Q4 FY26 results remain healthy across sectors.
The message for portfolio investors is to remain invested, avoid panic selling and use dips in quality names as accumulation opportunities. For intraday traders, the IOCL short setup and any weakness in crude-sensitive names remain the primary setups to monitor.
Conclusion
