As the Indian stock market experiences a downturn, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, has identified five breakout stocks that investors should consider buying today. His recommendations come amidst a broader market sentiment that has turned negative, with the Nifty 50 index falling below the crucial 24,000 mark.
Current Market Overview
The Indian stock market has faced significant challenges recently, largely influenced by global market trends following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent meeting. On December 19, 2024, the Nifty 50 index dropped by 236 points to close at 23,961, while the BSE Sensex fell by 939 points to finish at 79,242. The Nifty Bank index also saw a decline of 528 points, ending at 51,610. All sectoral indices closed in the red except for Nifty Pharma, indicating widespread selling pressure across the market
.Bagadia notes that the Nifty index has crucial support at the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), currently positioned at 23,800. He suggests that breaching this support could lead to intensified selling pressure in the market. Until the Nifty regains and decisively breaks above the 24,300 level, a stock-specific approach is recommended for investors.
