Day Trading Guide: 2 stock recommendations for Monday

Stock specific action theme remains intact, as 24 out of Nifty50 stocks managed to outperform the benchmark index this week; last week also, only half of Nifty50 components outpaced the benchmark returns on weekly close. It represents sector rotation.

After two weeks of marginal decline, Nifty resumed its upward trajectory; marking record high at 15962, eventually Nifty ended week at 15920 – up 1.5% on a weekly basis. Nifty’s recent rally ensures shift of range on upside, levels of 15700 could turn out as immediate floor. Mild throwback might be there towards 15800-15750. However, such pullback should be considered as buying opportunity in stocks which are relatively holding ground.

BankNifty rose ~2% this week, however in Friday’s trade it formed identical open and high and erased some of Thursday’s gains. Sustainability above 35500 is required to keep near term positive.
