Sumeet Bagadia’s breakout stock recommendations
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that overall Indian stock market bias is positive as the Nifty 50 index is sustaining above 24,500. The Choice Broking expert said that much will depend upon the kind of opening on Monday and predicted strong upside movement if the 50-stock index regains the psychological 24,700 mark. He advised day traders to maintain a stock-specific approach and suggested looking at breakout stocks for intraday trading.
Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Sumeet Bagadia said, “Overall, the Indian stock market bias is positive until the Nifty 50 index is sustaining above 24,500. Much will depend upon the kind of opening on Tuesday, as the frontline index regaining a 24,700 peak would mean bulls outsmarting bears. So, one should maintain a stock-specific approach and look at stocks that look strong in the chart pattern. Breakout stocks can be a good bet for those who believe in stock-specific trade for intraday trading.”
