Three stocks to buy today: Expert Ankush Bajaj's picks for 30 May
Indian benchmarks indices Sensex and the Nifty 50 closed in positive territory on Thursday, snapping their two-day losing run on fag-end buying in select blue-chip stocks. The Sensex closed 321 points, or 0.39%, higher at 81,633.02. The Nifty 50 settled at 24,833.60, up 81 points, or 0.33%. The Bank Nifty also saw a strong recovery, ending 129.05 points higher at 55,546.05. Top three stocks recommended by Ankush Bajaj for 30 May Buy Welspun Corp Ltd (current price: ₹895) Buy Lloyds Metals and Energy (current price: ₹1413.50) Also Read: Returns trump valuations: Are these stocks screaming a buy? Buy Ashok Leyland Ltd (current price: ₹240.75) Market Wrap On Thursday, the Indian stock market witnessed a dramatic session on monthly expiry day. After opening with a gap-up, indices came under pressure and traded weak for most of the day, reflecting cautious sentiment and lack of follow-through buying. However, in the final hour of trade, markets staged a sharp rally, fueled by short-covering and expiry-led momentum, helping key indices to close firmly in the green. The Nifty 50 ended 81.15 points higher, up 0.33%, at 24,833.60. The BSE Sensex climbed 320.70 points or 0.39% to settle at 81,633.02. The Bank Nifty also saw a strong recovery, ending 129.05 points higher, up 0.23%, at 55,546.05. Among sectors, metal stocks led the rally with a 1.21% gain, followed by the realty index which rose 1.14%, and the pharma index which added 0.92%. On the flip side, the PSU bank index slipped 0.24%, the FMCG index dipped 0.13%, and the PSE index was marginally down by 0.02%. In the list of top gainers, IndusInd Bank rose 2.36% driven by strong buying interest. Sun Pharma gained 2% amid renewed optimism in the pharma sector. Adani Ports closed 1.96% higher on the back of stock-specific momentum. Among laggards, HDFC Life declined 1.08% as traders booked profits. Tata Consumer dropped 1.03% due to weak sentiment in FMCG counters. Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) was down 0.93%, facing some pressure after a recent rally. Also Read: Intense competition hurts paint companies' profitability; more pain in the offing Nifty Technical Analysis The Nifty opened at 24,825 and witnessed a volatile session, hitting an intraday high of 24,892 and a low of 24,677, before closing at 24,833.60—near yesterday's opening level. Despite breaching the 24,700 support intraday, the index managed to reclaim ground and close with mild gains, indicating some intraday recovery. However, the broader range of 24,700–25,000 remains intact, with the index struggling to decisively move beyond the 24,900–25,000 resistance zone. The price action suggests a continued tug-of-war near key levels, with bulls defending support while facing stiff resistance overhead. From a broader trend perspective, Nifty continues to trade above both the 20-day SMA (24,672) and the 40-day EMA (24,251), keeping the long-term uptrend structure valid. On the daily chart, the RSI has ticked up to 57, showing slight improvement, but the MACD remains in a short signal, albeit above the zero line—indicating weakness is fading, but not yet reversed. On the hourly chart, the setup has turned mixed with early signs of improvement. The index closed slightly above the 20-hour SMA (24,797) and the 40-hour EMA (24,809), suggesting a possible shift in short-term sentiment. The hourly MACD has generated a buy signal, though still below the zero line, and RSI has recovered to 55, reflecting stabilizing momentum. However, sustained movement above the 24,900–25,000 zone is needed to confirm strength. India VIX cooled off sharply by 8.87% to settle at 16.42, suggesting reduced fear and intraday volatility. Outlook Nifty remains range-bound between 24,700 and 25,000, with a neutral to slightly positive bias for the short term. A decisive breakout above 25,000 could pave the way toward 25,150–25,200 levels. On the downside, 24,700 continues to act as immediate support; a breach below this could expose the index to 24,500 once again. Traders are advised to stay selective and wait for a directional confirmation before taking aggressive positions. Ankush Bajaj is a Sebi-registered research analyst.
