Stock Market Insights: Top Picks for Today
Bajaj Broking Research has identified Zydus Lifesciences and National Aluminium as the leading stock recommendations for today. As global market volatility continues, the Nifty index has shown resilience, maintaining a positive bias. This article explores the current market outlook, focusing on key indices and stock recommendations for March 21, 2025.
Nifty Index Performance Amid Global Volatility
Despite ongoing global uncertainties, the Nifty index has managed to hold above the crucial support level of 22,300, recently testing resistance between 23,000 and 23,200. Concerns regarding trade tensions and fluctuating U.S. policies have contributed to a challenging trading environment, leading to increased volatility in the equity market. Looking ahead, analysts expect the Nifty to gradually rise towards the 23,500 mark, aligning with the 200-day moving average. However, after a significant rally of 1,200 points over the past 12 sessions, the daily stochastic indicator suggests that the index may be in overbought territory. This could lead to some corrective consolidation around the 23,200-23,250 levels. Investors are encouraged to view any pullbacks as buying opportunities, with expectations that the Nifty will remain above the support zone of 22,400-22,500.
Recent observations indicate a positive market breadth, with the percentage of stocks above the 200-day simple moving average in the Nifty 500 rising from 10% to 16% in the last two weeks. Additionally, a pullback in U.S. 10-year yields, the Dollar Index, and Brent crude prices is expected to ease inflationary pressures, fostering a more favorable economic environment for emerging markets.
Bank Nifty Shows Strong Upward Movement
The Bank Nifty index has experienced a robust increase of over 2,000 points in the last seven sessions, bouncing back from the key support area of 48,000-47,700. Over the past 10 weeks, the index has consolidated within a broad range of 47,700-50,600. Recent buying demand from the lower end of this range suggests a potential upward trajectory towards the upper band at 50,600. A breakout above this upper band could signal a significant reversal of the current corrective trend, potentially opening the door for further gains towards the 51,500-52,000 levels in the coming weeks. Investors are advised to monitor this index closely as it approaches critical resistance levels.
