Top stocks to buy today: Stock recommendations for July 25, 2025
Stock market recommendations:
According to Bajaj Broking Research, Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd (GPPL) and National Aluminum are the top stock picks for today. Here's its view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for July 25, 2025:
Index View: NIFTY
Benchmark indices remained rangebound, reflecting investor indecision amid heightened macro headwinds from ongoing India-US trade talks and the onset of the Q1 FY26 earnings season.
Broader market activity was largely stock-specific, as participants adopted a cautious stance in anticipation of clearer fundamental cues and earnings visibility. Notably, India VIX slipped to 10—its lowest level in five months—signaling a lull in volatility and a market in wait-and-watch mode.
Structurally, the index continues to exhibit strength through its formation of higher highs and higher lows, underscoring resilience despite geopolitical and policy-related uncertainties.
On the near-term charts, the index breached its 20-day EMA, currently around 25,250—a level that previously acted as support and now serves as immediate resistance. A sustained move above 25,250 could open the door for further upside towards the 25,500 mark.
On the downside, Nifty finds a robust support zone in the 24,900–25,100 range, backed by multiple technical confluences:
(a) the rising 50-day EMA,
(b) an ascending trendline connecting the May and June 2025 lows,
(c) the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior rally from 24,473 to 25,669, and
(d) the upper band of the recent breakout zone near the 25,000 level.
Overall, the market remains in a consolidation phase with a cautiously optimistic undertone as the earnings season unfolds.
NIFTY BANK Outlook
Bank Nifty remained confined within a narrow consolidation zone last week, mirroring cautious investor sentiment amid ongoing India-US trade uncertainties and the impending Q1 FY26 earnings season for banking stocks.
The index continues to hover above its 20-day EMA—a dynamic support level it has respected since April—underscoring the strength of the prevailing bullish undertone.
This, coupled with improving market breadth, affirms the formation of a higher high–higher low structure, indicating a well-established uptrend.
Over the past 10 sessions, the index has been consolidating within the 56,000–57,600 range, and we expect this sideways movement to persist. A breakout beyond either side of this band will be crucial to determine the next directional bias. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 55,940—aligning with the 50-day EMA—while stronger support lies at 55,500, a key demand zone that has consistently cushioned declines in recent weeks.
