Intraday Stocks To Buy Today, June 18: Top Picks By Sumeet Bagadia For Profitable Trading On Wednesday

Global uncertainty and escalating geopolitical concerns caused equity markets to settle lower in the previous session. While Nifty Bank concluded the session at 55,714.15, down 0.41%, Nifty ended the session at 24,853.40, down 0.37%, with the RSI dropping to 53 from higher zones, indicating a lack of strength. The benchmark was outperformed by the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap Indices, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index correcting 0.69% and the Nifty Midcap 100 Index declining 0.66%.With the exception of the IT group, which closed 0.7% higher, sectoral performance was mostly poor. Due to intense selling pressure, pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks saw a decline of more than 1.5%. The fact that the India VIX cooled off by more than 2.5% to 14.47 suggests that market players may have already factored in the continuing geopolitical tremors and are not expecting sudden volatility surges anytime soon.

Nifty Outlook Today

"Index formed a bear candle signaling profit booking around 25,000 levels on account of the acceleration of the geo-political tension in the middle east. The index on expected lines is seen extending its ongoing five-week range-bound consolidation within the broader zone of 24,400-25,200. Only a decisive breakout beyond this range would trigger a directional move and signal a potential pickup in momentum. On the upside, the index faces immediate supply pressure near the 25,000 mark, a sustained breakout above this level could trigger a short-term pullback rally towards the upper boundary of the consolidation zone, pegged around 25,200. Failure to do so will lead to consolidation in the range 25,000-24,400. Key support is anchored in the 24,500-24,400 zone, which marks a confluence of the 50-day EMA and the lower boundary of the five-week consolidation range, making it a crucial demand zone for the index," said the technical research analysts of Bajaj Broking Research.

Bank Nifty Outlook Today

"Bank Nifty formed a bear candle on the daily chart signaling profit booking around 56,000 levels amid acceleration of the geopolitical tension in the middle east. Going ahead only a sustained close above the 56,000 marks could pave the way for further upside towards the 56,600 and 57,000 levels. However, inability to surpass this hurdle may result in continued range-bound price action between 56,000 and 55,000, with a likely shift in focus to stock-specific moves. On the downside, a decisive break down below the 55,000 marks would invalidate the current consolidation structure and open the gates for a retest of the key support zone in the 54,500-54,000 region in the coming sessions. Key supports are placed around 54,500-54,000 levels being the confluence of the 50 days EMA and the key retracement area of the previous up move (53483-57049)," commented the technical research analysts of Bajaj Broking.
