4 Indian Stocks To Focus For Day Trading Today

4 Indian Stocks To Focus For Day Trading Today

It is fairly difficult to ascertain which Indian stocks to focus on today since these stocks ended the trading session on Tuesday in a negative. This was due to the increase in the dollar index and consistent sell-off by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). NSE Nifty dropped by 157 points closing at 16,058 points.

On the other hand, BSE Nifty lost a huge 508 points and ceased the trading session at the 53,886 mark. Further, the Nifty Bank Index dipped 337 points closing at 35,132 points. The Volatility Index India (VIX) gained by 1% closing at 18.55 points. Also, the performance of the Indian stock market today is confusing. However, experts in the domain have talked about some of the best Indian stocks to focus on for day trading today and also commented on the forthcoming performance of Indian stock market indices.

Chinmay Barve, the Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at Profitmart Securities, commented on the slumping indices, especially, NSE Nifty, and said that:

"The Nifty has been repeatedly facing strong resistance around 16,250 to 16,300 from the last two sessions and any advance towards those levels met with renewed supply. Nifty has good support placed around 15,900 to 15,950 zone and the bears would have to put some extra efforts to pull the index decisively below the 15,900 mark. On the upside, Nifty is likely to face resistance at 16,250 and 16,400 marks."

The aforementioned quote indicates that the Nifty indices are unlikely to surge in the coming days and the risks of it declining are also high. Therefore, there are very few chances of gaining from this kind of stock market performance. This is why curated suggestions from experts quoted by LiveMint, Anuj Gupta, the Vice President of Research at IIFL Securities, and Avinash Gorakshkar,  the Head of Research at Profitmart Securities,  are presented here.
