Stocks to buy today: 6 short-term trading ideas by experts for 11 August

Indian market opened on a gap-up note on Thursday tracking positive global cues. The S&P BSE Sensex rose over 500 points while the Nifty50 reclaimed 17700 levels in the first 15 minutes of trade.

Sectorally, buying was seen in IT, Realty, banks, and auto.

Despite muted market conditions, Nifty50 held on to 17,500 on Wednesday suggesting that demand is at lower levels which is a positive sign for the bulls. After a sharp upmove, we could see some consolidation as markets are in the overbought zone, said analysts.

“Oscillators are overbought, but they have been so for some time already now, and have been less effective because of the directional nature of the index,” Anand James - Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said.

“Hence, we will hunt for vulnerability only on the rise to 18200 in the next few days, or on pull back below17570 today after the early burst, with 17690 tipped to act as an important pivot,” he added.
