The BSE Midcap index outperformed with a gain of 0.5%, while the Smallcap closed on a muted note, essentially unchanged amid stock-specific churn. The June F&O series concluded positively, extending the winning streak to four straight expiries and underscoring a sustained bullish undertone in the broader market. Bank stocks saw strong buying, lifting the Nifty Bank index to a new all-time high of 57,263.45. The rally in the Nifty Bank Index was mainly driven by heavy buying in private sector banks. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market bias has turned positive as the Nifty 50 index finally broke above the hurdle at 25,250 to 25,300 levels. The key benchmark index is now heading towards 25,700, and the new support for the 50-stock index is placed at 25,300 to 25,250. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index, after one and a half months gripped between a tight range, has indicated a clear breakout with a bullish candle formation above the tough resistance hurdle of 25300 zone strengthening the trend and further rise is expected in the coming days. The index would have the near-term support elevated now to the 25250-25300 zone and on the upside with bias and sentiment improving, can expect targets of 25700 and 26200 levels in the coming days." "The Bank Nifty index has indicated a strong closing with a bullish candle pattern to breach above the previous peak zone at 57050 level and has entered new territory with bias improved significantly, expecting a further upward move in the coming days. The index would have the important support near the 56000 zone, which needs to be sustained, and, on the upside, can expect fresh higher targets of 58500 and 60000 levels in the coming days," said Parekh. Parekh said that today, the Nifty's support is at 25,400, while the resistance is at 25,700. The Bank Nifty will have a daily range of 56,700 to 57,800.

Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today — 26 June 2025
Buy or sell stocks: Following the Israel-Iran ceasefire, the Indian stock market extended its uptrend for another session. The Nifty 50 index finished 200 points higher at 25,244, the BSE Sensex ended 700 points higher at 82,755, while the Bank Nifty index added 159 points and closed at 56,621. Leading the charge among the top performers on the Nifty were Titan, M&M, and Grasim. Conversely, BEL, Kotak Bank, and Eicher Motor ended the session as major losers. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were lower by 9% compared to the previous session. Highlighting a broad positive sentiment, the Midcap and Smallcap indices extended their upward journey for the fourth consecutive day. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.44%, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 surged 1.49%. Market breadth remained positive for the second day, with advancing stocks significantly outnumbering declining ones, reflected in a robust BSE advance-decline ratio of 2.34—its highest since May 14th. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market sentiment has improved as the Nifty 50 index has closed above 25,200. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said a decisive break above 25,250 may trigger a fresh uptrend, and the key benchmark index may soon touch 25,600 levels. On the lower side, 24,800 is immediate support for the 50-stock index. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index indicated a strong closing above the 25,200 zone after a long wait with further rise expected in the coming sessions with the overall sentiment easing out and bias improving as of now. As mentioned earlier, the index's decisive breach above the 25,250 zone shall trigger a fresh, further upward move in the coming days, with targets of 25,700 and 26,200 levels visible. On the downside, the near-term support shall be elevated to the 24,800 zone, which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall bias intact." "The Bank Nifty index has moved into the positive territory above the 56,000 zone with bias and sentiment improving, expecting further rise in the coming days, and once a decisive breach above the 57,000 zone is confirmed, it shall trigger a fresh upward move with higher targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels achievable. The 50-EMA zone at the 54,900 level would be an important support, whereas the near-term support is positioned near the 55,400 level, which needs to be sustained as of now," said Parekh. Parekh said that support for Nifty today is placed at 25,100, while the resistance is at 25,500. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 56,200 to 57,200. Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended these three buy-or-sell stocks: Reliance Power, EIH, and Archean Chemical Industries. 1] Reliance Power: Buy at ₹ 66, Target ₹ 72, Stop Loss ₹ 63; 2] EIH: Buy at ₹ 363, Target ₹ 390, Stop Loss ₹ 350; and 3] Archean Chemical Industries: Buy at ₹ 633, Target ₹ 660, Stop Loss ₹ 620.

Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today — 25 June 2025
Buy or sell stocks: The Indian stock market witnessed strong buying in the first half of Tuesday's session. However, after reports of Iran's ceasefire violation, Dalal Street indices pared most of their gains and ended flat. The Nifty 50 index finished 72 points higher at 25,044, the BSE Sensex ended 158 points higher at 82,055, and the Bank Nifty index gained 402 points and closed at 56,461. Leading the charge among the top performers on the Nifty were Adani Ports, JIOFIN, and Shriram Finance. Conversely, ONGC, Power Grid, and IndusInd Bank ended the session as major losers. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were sharply higher by 23% compared to yesterday, indicating significant activity amidst the volatility. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market is following the Israel-Iran news. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said the Nifty 50 is still above 25,000, which signals positive sentiments with a cautious approach on Dalal Street. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index indicated a strong opening session and touched the 25,300 zone but fizzled out in the second half with the bias and sentiment still precariously placed amid the geo-political tensions looming around. The index would need clarity and conviction for the upward move, and a decisive breach above the 25,250 zones is needed to trigger a further fresh upward move in the coming days. On the downside, as mentioned earlier, the 50-EMA level at the 24,500 zone would be the crucial support." "The Bank Nifty index once again moved past the 56,200 zone to hit the high level at 56,860 zone but could not sustain for long with profit booking seen and ended near the 56,500 level with more conviction and stability awaited. The index needs to sustain above the near-term support of 55,400 level to maintain the bias intact, and on the upside, a decisive breach above the 57,000 zone shall trigger a fresh upward move in the coming days," said Parekh. Parekh said that support for Nifty today is placed at 24,800, while the resistance is at 25,250. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 56,000 to 57,000. Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended buying these three buy-or-sell stocks: KPI Green Energy, DCW, and Ashoka Buildcon. 1] KPI Green Energy: Buy at ₹ 493, Target ₹ 515, Stop Loss ₹ 482; 2] DCW: Buy at ₹ 75.90, Target ₹ 79, Stop Loss ₹ 74; and 3] Ashoka Buildcon: Buy at ₹ 207.20, Target ₹ 217, Stop Loss ₹ 203.

Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today after ease in Israel-Iran war
Buy or sell stocks: Following the geopolitical tension caused by the Israel-Iran war, the Indian stock market witnessed intense selling pressure on Monday. The Nifty 50 index crashed 140 points and closed at 24,971, the BSE Sensex shed 511 points and closed at 81,896, while the Bank Nifty index finished 193 points lower at 56,059. Trent, BEL, and Hindalco emerged as the top gainers on the Nifty, while Infosys, HCL Technologies, and Larsen & Toubro were the session's biggest laggards. NSE cash market volumes declined 19% compared to the 10-day average. The Indian Rupee weakened 17 paise against the US Dollar, closing at 86.75—its lowest level since March 17. This depreciation stemmed from surging crude oil prices following US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with a strengthening Dollar Index and weak domestic equity performance. The Mid-cap and the Small-cap indices defied the broader market decline. The Nifty Mid-cap 100 Index advanced 0.36%, while the Nifty Small-cap 100 Index gained 0.70%. Nifty Media, Consumer Durables, and Metals posted substantial gains, highlighting pockets of resilience. IT, Auto, and FMCG sectors closed sharply lower, weighing heavily on the benchmark index. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market bias has become cautious as the Nifty 50 index failed to break the hurdle at the 25,200 to 25,250 levels. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said the key benchmark index slipping below 25,000 levels after the profit-booking trigger may put doubt into the minds of bulls. However, 24,800 to 24,750 may continue to provide strong support to the 50-stock index. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index, after opening on a weak note near the 24,950 zone, witnessed fluctuations during the session on the back of geopolitical turmoil and closed in the red below the 25,000 zone with sentiment maintained with a very cautious approach. The index has witnessed a strong resistance near the 25,200 zones, whereas, on the downside, the 24,700 level would be the crucial near-term support that needs to be sustained to maintain the overall bias intact." "The Bank Nifty index opening on the lower end remained passive near the 55900 zone, whereas the post-lunch session witnessed some pullback to move past the 56000 level to minimise the losses. The index needs to indicate a clear breakout above the 56200-56300 zone to trigger a fresh upward move with the 55000 zone, on the downside maintained as the important and crucial near-term support, which needs to be sustained as of now," said Parekh. Parekh said that today, support for the Nifty is at 24,800 levels, while resistance is at 25,200. The Bank Nifty will have a daily range of 55,500-56,500. Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended these three buy or sell stocks: Hi-Tech Pipes, ideaForge Technology, and Black Box. 1] Hi-Tech Pipes: Buy at ₹ 98, Target ₹ 110, Stop Loss ₹ 94; 2] ideaForge Technology: Buy at ₹ 631, Target ₹ 660, Stop Loss ₹ 610; and 3] Black Box: Buy at ₹ 490, Target ₹ 530, Stop Loss ₹ 480.
