Expert Stock Recommendations
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes that the positive trend of the Indian stock market got a dent on Friday as the Nifty 50 index once again plunged after making a double top at around its current resistance placed at 22,800. However, the Prabhudas Lilladher expert maintained that the Dalal Street trend is expected to remain bullish till the 50-stock index is above its current support of the 222,230 range. On stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three buy or sell stocks — Torrent Pharma, BEML, and Bombay Dyeing.
Market Outlook
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, “Nifty, after resisting near the 22800 zone for the second time to indicate a double top, finally plunged to form a big bearish engulfing candle pattern on the daily chart with sentiment little bit shaken and would need to sustain the important 50EMA level of 22230 zone to maintain the overall bias intact.” “Bank Nifty also slipped drastically from around the 50000 levels, and with a bearish candle formation, the bias is precariously placed with major support maintained the significant 50EMA level of 47600 zone,” said Parekh. Parekh added that immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 22,300 levels while the resistance is at 22,600. Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 48,500 to 49,300 levels.
