Shares to buy or sell: Chandan Taparia recommends three stocks to buy today — October 15

Shares to buy or sell: Due to increases in shares of notable banking and IT giants, such as HDFC Bank and Infosys, the Indian stock market benchmarks—the Sensex and Nifty 50—continued their upward trend on Monday, October 14.

The Sensex climbed 592 points, or 0.73%, finishing at 81,973.05, while the Nifty 50 gained 164 points, or 0.66%, to close at 25,127.95.

“Nifty Index opened positive above 25k marks and witnessed buying interest throughout the session. It remained range bound in the second half of the session but managed to close with gains of around 160 points. It formed a bullish candle daily frame and closed above its 50 DEMA. Now it has to hold above 25000 zones, for an up move towards 25,350 then 25,450 zones whereas supports are placed at 25,000 then 24,850 zones,” said Chandan Taparia, Head – Equity Derivatives and Technicals, Wealth Management, MOFSL.

On option front, Maximum Call OI is at 26000 then 25500 strike while Maximum Put OI is at 25000 then 24000 strike. Call writing is seen at 25400 then 25600 strike while Put writing is seen at 25100 then 24100 strike. Option data suggests a broader trading range in between 24700 to 25600 zones while an immediate range between 24900 to 25300 levels.

Bank Nifty

On the Bank Nifty outlook, Taparia further added, “Bank Nifty Index opened on a positive note and extended the momentum towards 51,750 zones in the initial hour of the session. Later it remained consolidative at higher levels with positive bias as good buying was seen in private banks. It formed a bullish candle on daily scale and gave a range breakout on daily scale above 51,750 zones. Now it has to hold above 51,500 zones for a bounce towards 52,350 then 52,500 zones while on the downside support is seen at 51,500 then 51,250 levels.”

Chandan Taparia has recommended three stocks to buy today. These stock recommendations are Persistent Systems, HDFC Life Insurance Company and Godrej Properties.

Stocks to buy

Persistent Systems: Buy at ₹5616 | Target Price: ₹5940 | Stop Loss: ₹5470

A range breakout is visible on the daily chart near its all-time high price with a long bodied bullish candle to support the up move. Buying was visible across the IT space which may give strength to the bull run. The MACD Indicator is on the verge of giving a bullish crossover which may support the upward momentum, Taparia said.

HDFC Life: Buy at ₹740 | Target Price: ₹780 | Stop Loss: ₹722

A Double Bottom pattern has appeared on the daily chart with an upward breakout which suggests bullish sentiment. The RSI indicator has turned up which confirms the up move.

Godrej Properties: Buy at ₹3091 | Target Price: ₹3225 | Stop Loss: ₹3005

A rounding bottom pattern has formed on the daily time frame which suggests a trend reversal to bullish. It has negated lower highs-lower lows after three weeks and supports are gradually shifting higher. The Stochastic indicator has bounced up from the oversold zones and is headed up which may confirm the change in trend.
