Indicator flashes 'buy' in these 3 stocks with build-up of positive momentum

Given the escalating geopolitical crisis and stretched valuations, experts are turning more and more cautious on the sustainability of a bull run on Dalal Street. The breadth of the market was in favour of bears at the close on Friday with 2,448 stocks trading down for 1,405 advancing peers.

Volatility is expected to return to the markets which has been declining steadily since February 2024, according to the observers. After slipping by 30 percent from February highs, the India VIX gained 3 percent on Friday, when the BSE Sensex lost nearly 800 points. FIIs were net sellers, offloading equities worth over $1 billion as the tweak in the India-Mauritius tax treaty and hotter-than-expected US Inflation data  played on their minds.

The market was hovering on its life highs when the downfall began. “Near their all-time highs, the markets are always sensitive to any events. With a spike expected in crude oil owing to the Iran–Israel geopolitical situation, the market sentiment may weaken, leading to a buy-on-dip opportunity,” says Prashant Sawant, founder of Catalyst Wealth.

In a weak market condition, there are a few stocks that have shown positive momentum build-up. New 'buy' signal was generated on daily time frame in these stocks, according to the RMI scanner. Rohit momentum indicator (RMI) is a non-range bound indicator.
