Stocks to buy for short term: From Paytm to Cipla — experts recommend THESE 5 technical picks for the next 2-3 weeks
The Sensex has crashed 1,836 points, or 2.2 per cent, while the Nifty 50 has fallen 2.1 per cent in the last three sessions. Investors have lost over ₹ 12 lakh crore in this period.
On Monday, July 28, the Sensex closed 572 points, or 0.70 per cent, lower at 80,891.02, while the Nifty 50 settled at 24,680.90, suffering a loss of 156 points, or 0.63 per cent.
Experts believe the market may remain weak in the near term.
"The RSI continues to support the bears with its negative crossover. In the short term, the index may remain under pressure, with a possibility of slipping towards 24,550. On the higher end, resistance is seen at 24,800 and 24,950," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
While the market sentiment appears fragile, experts see stock-specific opportunities across segments.
Mandar Bhojane of Choice Broking and Vishnu Kant Upadhyay of Master Capital Services suggested five stocks to buy for the next two to three weeks. Take a look:
Paytm has recently completed a breakout from a classic cup and handle pattern on the daily timeframe.
Following this technical move, the stock is holding steady above its breakout point and gearing up for another potential rally.
The increased trading volume accompanying this phase points to strong buying interest in the stock.
"If Paytm can secure a close above ₹ 1,100, it may set its sights on reaching the immediate targets of ₹ 1,210 and ₹ 1,240. For prudent risk management, setting a stop-loss at ₹ 1,030 is advised, helping to cushion against any unexpected decline in price," said Bhojane.
Garuda has recently broken out of a rounding bottom pattern, showing consolidation above the breakout level and is now on the verge of a fresh breakout.
This move has been accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, which signals strong bullish momentum.
"If the price closes above the ₹ 185 level, it could potentially reach short-term targets of ₹ 210 and ₹ 220. To manage risk prudently, it is recommended to set a stop-loss at ₹ 170 to safeguard your investment against a possible market reversal," Bhojane said.
Cipla has recently broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart, accompanied by a notable increase in trading volume, which suggests strengthening bullish momentum.
"If the price manages to sustain itself above the key resistance level of ₹ 1,580, the stock could aim for short-term targets of ₹ 1,700 and ₹ 1,750," said Bhojane.
"The rising volume adds conviction to this breakout, indicating strong buying interest. However, to prudently manage risk, it is advisable to set a stop-loss at ₹ 1,510 to protect your investment from any unexpected market reversal or downturn," Bhojane said.
Cipla has broken out of a prolonged consolidation phase with a strong bullish candle backed by rising volume, signalling aggressive buying.
The stock is forming a series of higher highs and higher lows, confirming a sustained uptrend.
It is trading above all key moving averages, reinforcing positive momentum. RSI is rising, indicating strength, and MACD has given a fresh bullish crossover.
"The overall structure suggests strong momentum and continued buying interest," said Upadhyay.
Supreme Industries broke out above a key resistance zone, signalling the start of a bullish phase.
Following the breakout, it retested this zone, now acting as support, by forming a textbook double bottom pattern, reinforcing the strength of the level.
The stock has resumed its uptrend, forming higher highs and lower lows. Price remains above all key EMAs, and volume expansion supports the breakout.
RSI is holding above 60, and MACD has given a fresh bullish crossover, indicating sustained upside momentum.
Navin Fluorine has broken out above a long-term resistance near ₹ 4,890-4,950 zone and is currently consolidating in a narrow range, indicating healthy digestion of gains and setting the stage for a potential further rally.
The formation of higher highs and higher lows reflects a sustained uptrend. Price remains above all major EMAs.
Rising volume during up moves, coupled with an RSI above 65 and a bullish MACD crossover, reinforces positive momentum and the structure's underlying strength.

Moderate 3% rise in global gold demand
Global gold demand increased three per cent year-on-year to 1,249 tonne during the April-June quarter of the current year, amid a high price environment, World Gold Council (WGC) said in a report on Thursday. Strong gold investment flows largely fuelled quarterly growth, as an increasingly unpredictable geopolitical environment and price momentum sustained demand, according to WGC's Q2/2025 Gold Demand Trends report. 'Gold ETF investment remained a key driver of total demand, with inflows of 170 tonnes over the quarter, compared with small outflows in Q2 2024. Asian-listed funds were major contributors at 70 tonne, keeping pace with US flows. Combined with record inflows in the first quarter, global gold ETF desmand reached 397 tonne, the highest first-half total since 2020,' the report added. Meanwhile, the total bar and coin investment also increased 11 per cent year-on-year, adding 307 tonne. Chinese investors led the way with a 44 per cent year-on-year increase to 115 tonne, while Indian investors continued to add to their holdings, totalling 46 tonne in the second quarter. Divergent trends emerged in Western markets as European net investment more than doubled to 28 tonne, while US bar and coin demand halved to 9 tonne in the second quarter. Central banks continued to buy, adding 166 tonne in the April-June quarter this year, led by Poland, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Despite this deceleration, central bank buying remained at significantly elevated levels due to ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty. 'Our annual central bank survey shows that 95 per cent of reserve managers believe that global central bank gold reserves will increase over the next 12 months,' the report said. Jewellery demand continued to decline, with the volume of consumption down 14 per cent and nearing low levels last seen in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. Jewellery demand in China was down 20 per cent, and Indian demand fell 17 per cent year-on-year. However, in value terms, the global jewellery market increased to a total of $36 billion. 'The overall jewellery has dropped to 341 tonnes but increased in value to about $36 billion, which is interesting. From a Chinese demand perspective, it's down 20 per cent in terms of volume. In by 17 per cent in terms of volume. But again, in terms of value, it's significantly higher than last year,' Sachin Jain, WGC Regional CEO - India, told PTI. Further, the report revealed that the total gold supply increased 3 per cent to 1,249 tonnes, with mine production up marginally to a new second quarter record. Recycling increased 4 per cent year-on-year but stayed relatively subdued considering the high price environment. 'Global markets have navigated a volatile start to the year marked by trade tensions, unpredictable US policy shifts and frequent geopolitical flashpoints.

Weekend Drive by Hormazd Sorabjee: Green ride, grey area
Copenhagen, with its clean air and green credentials, was a fitting backdrop to drive Mercedes-Benz's newest electric car, the CLA Electric. Compact, stylish and packed with tech, it's aimed at buyers who want to go electric without sacrificing luxury or brand cachet. And when it arrives in India by the end of the year, it could be (at around ₹60 lakh) one of the most desirable EVs. The stylish Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric arrives in India by the end of the year. What makes the CLA Electric special is not just its badge or sleek design, it's how cleverly it's been engineered. The platform, designed primarily for electric cars, is also flexible enough for hybrids or petrol engines. That's a nod to real-world buyer behaviour: Even in developed countries, not everyone's ready to go fully electric just yet. The version we drove, the CLA 250+, uses a single electric motor at the rear and an innovative two-speed gearbox, rare for EVs. This helps it achieve an astonishing claimed range of up to 792km. We managed over 730km on a single charge. That's good enough for a Mumbai-Goa trip. Mercedes-Benz's CLA Electric is one of the most aerodynamic cars ever made. It's one of the most aerodynamic cars ever made. Every crease, curve and flush surface, hidden door handle and smooth underbody panel is designed to reduce drag and stretch efficiency. The trade-off? Ground clearance. At just 107mm, the European model is too low for Indian roads. Hopefully, Mercedes will up the clearance on the India-bound models. Inside, the cabin is minimalist and modern. A wide glass panel stretches across the dashboard which houses two screens: 10.25 inches for the driver and a 14-inch central display. A third passenger-side screen is available for Europe. Given our love for tech, Mercedes would be wise to include that option for India. There are a few quirks. Adjusting the air-con fan still requires navigating through two steps, something that would've been simpler with a fixed icon or button. But the steering-mounted controls, long a sore point in modern Mercs, now offer tactile feedback and feel far more precise. Even the seat adjusters now deliver a reassuring, well-engineered click. There's mood lighting in 64 colours, a thumping optional Burmester 3D sound system, and a nifty 'frunk' under the bonnet. However, like many EVs, it lacks a spare tyre, something Indian buyers may want to retrofit given our roads. There's mood lighting in 64 colours, and a nifty 'frunk' under the bonnet. In the back seat, taller passengers may find legroom tight, and the battery under the floor raises your knees awkwardly — not ideal for long chauffeur-driven journeys. The fixed panoramic glass roof adds a bright, airy feel but could become a heat magnet in the Indian summer. Mercedes claims it offers UV-protection. On the road, the CLA is smooth, quiet, refined. It's quick without being wild, and the handling feels confident and balanced. The new brake system feels more natural than in earlier electric Mercs, and regenerative braking (used to charge the battery while slowing down) is now easier to control. Ride quality has also improved, with a much softer edge than the previous petrol CLA. The CLA Electric isn't trying to be a Tesla rival or a track monster. Instead, it's a compact luxury EV that focuses on style, tech, and range. For those who value design, efficiency and a quiet, high-tech cabin, it makes a strong case.

Sensex & Nifty fall as Trump hits India with 25% tariff, South Korea leads Asian markets' decline
As Asian markets declined in response to US President Donald Trump's tariffs, India's Sensex and Nifty 50 opened in the red today, witnessing a fall of over 260 points and 80 points within minutes of the opening of trade. South Korean shares declined as much as 2.9% as Asian markets fell. read more A man walks past a screen at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) ahead of Trump's tariff plans, in Mumbai. (Photo: Reuters) In response to US President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariff on India, Sensex and Nifty 50 opened in the red on Friday. Within minutes of the opening of the trade, Sensex fell by more than 260 points and Nifty 50 fell by over 80 points. Twelve of the sixteen major sectors declined at the open while the broader smallcaps and midcaps traded flat, as per Reuters. The response of Indian markets was in line with Asian markets that declined in response to Trump's tariffs, with South Korean leading the decline. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD South Korean shares fell by 3.2 per cent after Trump's tariff rollout. In early reactions, Japan's Nikkei dropped 0.4 per cent and Chinese blue chips stocks were flat and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index eked out a small gain of 0.2 per cent. These declines were rather most even though much of the trading day is still to pass. The modest decline is a result of markets' belief that negotiations are still on and deals can still be struck for lower tariffs, according to Tony Sycamore, analyst at IG. 'At this point, the reaction in markets has been modest, and I think part of the reason for that is the recent trade deals with the EU, Japan, and South Korea have certainly helped to cushion the impact. The market now, I think, has probably taken the view that these trade tariff levels can be renegotiated, can be walked lower over the course of time,' said Sycamore.
