Breakout stocks to buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends five shares to buy today —24 August 2026 · livemint.com

Sumeet Bagadia suggested five stocks that may rise based on their recent price charts.

The stocks are Hindustan Zinc, Netweb Technologies India, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Prime Focus, and Power Grid.

Each stock has a suggested buying price, target price, and stop-loss level.

A target price is the level where an investor may consider taking a profit.

A stop loss is a price level used to limit possible losses.

The Nifty 50 ended almost flat but remained above an important support zone.

The Bank Nifty performed better and stayed above key moving averages.

High crude oil prices, stalled US-Iran negotiations, and rising US bond yields affected market sentiment.

Bagadia said investors should watch support and resistance levels before making decisions.

Executive Director at Choice Broking who provided Nifty 50 technical analysis

“On the derivatives front, PCR at 1.08 indicates a relatively balanced-to-positive setup. The highest Put OI concentration around 24,200–24,000 provides a cushion on declines, while significant Call OI between 24,300–24,500 is likely to act as an overhead hurdle. The 24,350–24,400 zone is therefore crucial on the upside, coinciding with the 50-DMA area. A sustained move above this band could strengthen the recovery towards 24,500, whereas failure to hold 24,000 may bring renewed selling pressure.”

“On the downside, 57,250–57,430 remains the immediate support area, and holding this zone would keep the recent higher-low structure intact. On the higher side, 57,880–58,000 is the key resistance band, where sustained acceptance would be required for a fresh upside breakout.”
