Day trading guide for stock market today

On the outlook for Nifty, Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking observes that the index has reached closer to the resistance of 19,650 and needs participation from banking to surpass the same. 

‘’We feel traders should maintain caution in stock selection citing overbought indications, especially in midcap and smallcap space,'' said Mishra.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities adds, ‘’The trend will remain favorable as long as the bulls can maintain Nifty above 19,440. A "buy on dips" strategy should be the preferred approach until Nifty falls below 19,440. Resistance on the upper end is positioned at 19,600, and if breached, the index could potentially move higher."

On the outlook for Bank Nifty, Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities observes that the index is currently consolidating within a defined range, with support at 44,500 and resistance at 44,650.

‘’Despite the consolidation, a bullish undertone is observed, and traders are encouraged to consider buying on dips, with strong support around 44,300-44,200. A breakout above 44,700 could lead to further upside moves, especially towards the 45,000 level where significant open interest is seen on call options,'' said Shah.

Global Cues

Global equities mostly fell on Tuesday as higher Treasury yields weighed on growth stocks, while a slow pace of expansion in services activity in China raised concerns over demand in the world's second-largest economy.

JSW Steel has corrected from the all-time high levels of 835 levels but has bounced from the initial support of 800 levels which is also close to 20 Day EMA levels. Currently, the stock is trading around 815.95 levels. The stock is trading above all important moving averages indicating strength.

2.United Breweries (UBL): Buy UBL at ₹1,587 with a stoploss of ₹1,555 at a target price of ₹1,630

Considering the technical analysis of UBL India, it appears to be an attractive opportunity for investment. The stock, currently trading at 1,587, has demonstrated robust support around the 1,508 mark and has rebounded convincingly from those levels.

Notably, it has breached the middle Bollinger Band, signifying potential bullish momentum.

Given these technical factors, initiating a long position in UBL at 1,587 with a target price of 1,630 seems to be a well-founded decision. To manage risk, a stop-loss order at 1,555 can be implemented, which provides a prudent risk-reward ratio.
