Sumeet Bagadia’s Perspective
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, expressed a cautious outlook on the market, citing the Nifty 50 index’s breach of the 24,700 level as a bearish signal. He identified immediate support at 23,900 and resistance in the 24,600-24,650 range. Bagadia warned that a further decline below 23,900 could exacerbate the downward trend.
Bagadia’s Top 3 Stock Picks
Despite the overall market weakness, Bagadia remains optimistic about the following three stocks:
1. ITC Ltd.
- Buy Price: ₹482.30
- Target Price: ₹516
- Stop Loss: ₹466
ITC has recently rebounded from the ₹470 support level and is currently trading at ₹482.30. The stock’s daily chart shows a positive candle, indicating potential bullish momentum. Rising trading volumes further support this bullish outlook. A sustained move above the ₹500 level could propel the stock towards the ₹516 target. The RSI of 39.64 suggests oversold conditions, making it an attractive buying opportunity. Additionally, the stock’s position above the 200-day EMA reinforces the bullish sentiment.
2. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
- Buy Price: ₹4057.55
- Target Price: ₹4342
- Stop Loss: ₹3916
TCS has undergone a 12.75% correction from its all-time high and is currently consolidating above its 200-day EMA. A break above the ₹4,060 level could trigger a bullish reversal, with an initial target of ₹4,342. The RSI of 32.55 indicates oversold conditions, presenting a potential buying opportunity. Increased trading volumes on bullish days around the support level would further strengthen the reversal.
3. Axis Bank
- Buy Price: ₹1189.20
- Target Price: ₹1300
- Stop Loss: ₹1120
Axis Bank has recently rebounded from its low of ₹1,124, indicating strong buying interest. The stock is trading above its 100-day and 200-day EMAs, signifying underlying strength. A break above the ₹1,214 resistance level could lead to an upside target of ₹1,300. The RSI of 51.22, trending upward, reflects growing buying momentum.
