“A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NSE BANKING STOCKS USING INTEGRATED FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS WITH MOVING AVERAGE INDICATORS”

The study concludes that integrating fundamental and technical analysis provides a more effective approach to understanding the performance of NSE banking stocks. Fundamental analysis helps evaluate the financial strength and long-term stability of banks, while technical analysis, particularly moving average indicators, supports the identification of short-term price trends and market behavior. The findings show that banks with strong financial fundamentals generally exhibit more stable stock price movements. Moving averages proved useful in highlighting trend direction, consolidation phases, and potential trend reversals. Overall, the integrated analytical approach improves the reliability of stock evaluation and assists investors in making informed and balanced investment decisions in the banking sector.
