Day trading guide for stock market today: Nine stocks to buy or sell on Tuesday

“Nifty traded sideways for most of the session, however, last-hour selling led the index to close with a loss of 82 points (-0.4%) at 21772 levels. The volatility index rose by 6% to 15.62. Sector-wise it was a mixed bag with buying seen in Oil & Gas, Pharma, and Auto. The 3QFY24 corporate earnings have been in line so far with 33 Nifty companies reporting a PAT growth of 21% YoY (until 1st Feb’24). Domestic equities saw a subdued session after an outstanding January US employment report ruined any expectations of a near-term interest rate cut. On the positive side, India’s Service PMI rose six months high to 61.8,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research at Motilal Oswal.

On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The selling pressure that started from the new all-time high of 22,126 has extended on Monday and the market is now showing volatility at the highs. Present weakness is unlikely to damage the near-term uptrend status of the market and one may expect chances of an upside bounce from the lower levels. Immediate support for Nifty today is placed around 21,600 to 21,500 levels.”

On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives & Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “Bank Nifty consolidated in range throughout the day to close at 45,826, down 145 points. Strong call writing was observed at 46,000 Strike in Bank Nifty. Heavy call writing is a sign of resistance getting stronger. At today’s close, put writers lead the call writers by a fair margin at 45,500 Strike and the option activity at this strike will provide cues about Bank Nifty’s Intraday direction.”

On triggers for the stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal said, “The RBI policy meeting will start today and it is expected to maintain the status quo in line with the US Fed. Overall markets are consolidating at higher levels. With 2 key events behind, markets are taking cues from ongoing results which is leading to a lot more stock-specific action which is likely to continue.”
