Nifty Prediction Today
"On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has closed below 19600 - 19550 zone where multiple supports were placed. This is a sign of further weakness. On the way down it can slip further towards 19500 - 19440 which is the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the rise from 19224 - 20222. Daily and hourly momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal.

Thus, both price and momentum indicator suggest that there is a further downside possible over the next few trading sessions. In terms of levels, 19500 - 19440 is the crucial support zone while 19625 - 19650 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone," said Jatin Gedia - Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
Bank Nifty Prediction Today
"Bank Nifty also witnessed sustained selling pressure throughout the day to close around the lows for the day. The daily momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal. On the downside we expect the Bank Nifty to drift towards 43800. On the upside 44700 - 44800 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone," said Jatin Gedia.
Stocks To Buy Today
Lupin
Buy LUPIN in cash @ Rs 1133.05, stop-loss: Rs 1105, target: Rs 1175
The technical analysis provided for LUPIN stock suggests a generally positive outlook. LUPIN is currently trading at 1133.05 levels, having recently rebounded from a support level at 1105 levels. This bounce indicates that buyers are active at this level, potentially providing a foundation for further price gains.
Furthermore, the fact that the stock is trading above key moving averages, including the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs, indicates that it has exhibited consistent upward momentum across various timeframes. This is often seen as a bullish sign.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 57 suggests that there is strength in the stock, but it is not yet overextended, leaving room for further price appreciation. However, there is a smaller resistance level at 1145 that the stock needs to overcome. If it successfully surpasses this resistance, it could potentially target higher levels, specifically 1175 and beyond.
According to the aforementioned technical analysis, we advise buying LUPIN at a CMP of 1133.05 for the target of 1175 levels, if the stock closes below 1105, our analysis will be invalid.

Based on a comprehensive technical analysis of LT, it is recommended to initiate a cash position at the current market price of 3010, with a stop-loss set at 2945 and a target price of 3145.

Furthermore, LT is currently trading above critical moving averages, including the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day, indicating a robust bullish sentiment.
Additionally, the stock is displaying an expansion in Bollinger Bands, signifying increased volatility and potential for further upward movement.
