Day trading stocks to buy: Anand Rathi expert recommends IndusInd Bank, Federal Bank and GAIL to buy today — April 25

Day trading stocks to buy today: Following weakness in the Asian stock market, the Indian stock market opened lower on Thursday, ending its four-day winning streak that started last Friday. The Nifty 50 index is down by nearly 60 points, the BSE Sensex is down by over 200 points whereas the Bank Nifty today is down by nearly 170 points.

Asian equity markets dropped after Meta Platforms Inc.’s disappointing outlook raised concern about whether the industry that has powered the bull market in equities has run too far.

Equity benchmarks slid in Hong Kong, Japan, and mainland China, while contracts for US stocks also pointed to declines. Australian financial markets are shut for a holiday. The yen extended declines after weakening beyond 155 per dollar for the first time in more than three decades on Wednesday, heightening the chances of intervention ahead of the Bank of Japan’s decision meeting on Friday.

Stock market today

Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Ganesh Dongre said, "On the Nifty front, we are now on the support level of 22,200 to 22,250 zone, which will keep the movement upward for the Nifty in the upcoming sessions. Now the resistance for the Nifty spot will be 22500–22600. As per the latest chart pattern, we have seen the gap up opening and then continuing its bullish trend pattern for the rest of the day and closing in positive territory. So, on the Nifty front, until the time holds above its support level of 22200–22250, the Nifty will remain in a bullish trend until the resistance level of 22550 to 22600."

"At this juncture, on the other hand, on the Bank Nifty front, we have again seen a gap-up opening today, and continue its bullish trend for the rest of the day, so for the upcoming trading session, Bank Nifty support will be at the 47400 to 47500 level and resistance will be at the 48,500 level," said Dongre.
