These stocks to buy or sell today

20 Jul , 2021 By : Kanchan Joshi

After showing range bound action with weak bias at the all time high of 15,962 levels on Friday, Nifty slipped into a sharp weakness on Monday and closed the day lower by 171 points, which is highest in points and per cent basis since April 30, 2021. At NSE Nifty, 42 out of 50 stocks closed in the red zone while all 12 Bank Nifty stocks closed below from its Friday close price. Speaking on the day trading guide, stock market experts said that the short-term trend of Nifty seems to have turned down, after a display of lack of strength at the new highs. The overall chart pattern signal chances of market sliding down to the crucial support of 15,635 levels in the short-term. But, there is a higher possibility of Nifty moving below this support over the period of time. Any upside moves from here could find selling pressure around 15,825 levels.

While volumes in cash markets were higher than recent averages, advance decline ratio turned negative suggesting profit taking. Banking stocks came under pressure on renewed fears of asset quality/rising slippages following Q1 results from Banks. Metal and Auto stocks also came under selling pressure following virus scare and inflation worry on a global basis.
