Sumeet Bagadia stocks to buy today

1. Nava Ltd. (NAVA): Buy at ₹518.75; Target at ₹555; Stop Loss at ₹500.

NAVA is currently trading at ₹518.75 and is in a recovery phase following a sharp decline. The stock is attempting to establish an uptrend after rebounding from lower levels and forming a series of higher highs and higher lows, indicating renewed bullish momentum. Strong support has been observed around ₹500, reinforcing the potential for further upside.

Furthermore, NAVA is trading comfortably above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), strengthening the positive outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 71.02 and continues to trend upward, reflecting increasing buying interest.

If the stock breaks above the key resistance level of ₹538, it could potentially advance toward the short-term target of ₹555. On the downside, immediate support is at ₹510, with a recommended stop-loss at ₹500 to manage risk effectively.

Given the favorable technical setup and current market conditions, NAVA presents a compelling buying opportunity. However, traders should adopt disciplined risk management strategies and await confirmation of the breakout before taking new positions.

The 200-day EMA, positioned at 458.57, serves as a long-term support level, further strengthening the overall uptrend. The proximity of shorter-term EMAs to the current price suggests ongoing demand and accumulation at higher levels. If the stock surpasses its immediate resistance, it could potentially reach a short-term target of 580.

On the downside, immediate support is located at 527. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 6762.06 and trending upward, reflecting growing buying momentum. To manage risk effectively, a stop-loss at 525 is suggested to guard against any unexpected market reversals.
