Vaishali Parekh, vice president of technical research at Prabhudas Lilladher, noted that Nifty faced resistance around the 25,300 level after a steady rise, leading to a decline driven by profit booking, which has reversed the daily trend following 13 consecutive sessions of gains. 

Parekh also observed that BankNifty has been relatively sluggish, displaying narrow, range-bound movement, and has slipped from the 51,750 level due to profit booking. She added that near-term support remains around the crucial 50EMA level of 50,900.

Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three buy-or-sell stocks: Bharat Forge, Ambuja Cements, and Apollo Tyres.

As mentioned earlier, the index would have the crucial near-term support of 25,000 levels, which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall sentiment and bias intact.”
