Stocks to buy & sell today: 5 short-term trading ideas by experts for 27 December 2022

Indian market is likely to trade higher on Tuesday tracking positive global cues.

S&P BSE Sensex closed over 700 points higher while Nifty50 reclaimed 18000 levels on Monday.

Sectorally, buying was seen in utilities, public sector, power, and metals while some selling was seen in healthcare stocks. The Bank Nifty closed 2.31% higher on Monday with PSU banks leading the rally.

India VIX was down by 1.41% from 16.16 to 15.93 levels. Volatility spiked above 17.2 zones during the day but a cool-off from higher zones paved way for the bulls to buy the declines in the market, suggest experts.

On the upside, Nifty50 could see some resistance near 18200 levels while some support is available around 17950-17700 levels, they say.

“Nifty formed a Bullish Engulfing candle on daily scale on Monday and negated its lower highs of last three trading sessions,” Chandan Taparia, Analyst-Derivatives at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, said.

“It has to hold above 17950 zones, for an up move towards 18181 and 18350 zones whereas supports are placed at 17950 and 17777 zones,” he said.

On the Options front, the maximum Call OI is at 18200 then 19000 strikes while the maximum Put OI is seen at 18000, and then towards 17800 strikes.

“Option data suggests a slight shift in a higher trading range in between 17700 to 18300 zones while an immediate range in between 17800 to 18200 zones,” suggests Taparia.
