Vaishali Parekh stocks for Muhurat Trading 2024

Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes that Indian stock market bias has weakened as the Nifty 50 index failed to breach the hurdle placed at the 24,700 mark. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert maintained that the Nifty 50 index has crucial support at the 24,000 mark. Breaching below this support on a closing basis would mean sharp selling pressure, and the 50-stock may touch the 23,400 mark after this breakdown.

Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended buying these three shares during Muhurat Trading 2024: HDFC Bank, BSE, and Jio Financial Services.

Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index once again has turned the bias weak with another lower top formation on the daily chart and has the crucial support zone of 24,000 levels which, if broken, can turn the trend weak and can anticipate for fresh downward movement. As mentioned earlier, the index would have the major and important support zone at the significant 200 period MA at 23,400 zone, which would be the deciding factor in the coming days."

"The Bank Nifty, finding resistance near the 52,400 zone, has slipped down further with profit booking seen and has moved below the important 50-EMA level of 51,700 zone with the bias turning weak. The index would have crucial support near 50,400 levels below which the trend would turn bearish, anticipating a fresh slide," said Parekh.

Parekh said that the Nifty today has immediate support at 24,000 while resistance is seen at 24,400. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 51,000 to 52,000.
