Stocks to buy today: Indus Towers, Tata Elxsi among 6 trading ideas for 18 June 2025

Synopsis

Indian market is expected to consolidate, mirroring mixed global signals, after Nifty50 closed lower. Technical analysis suggests a sideways trend with key resistance at 25,000-25,170 and support at 24,700. Experts recommend buying Chambal Fertilisers, Asahi India, Indus Towers, PB Fintech, Tata Elxsi, and Supreme Industries for short-term gains.

The Indian market is likely to consolidate on Wednesday, tracking mixed global cues.

The Nifty50 index closed 93 points lower at 24,853 on Tuesday. Indian VIX fell nearly 3% to close at 14.40 in the previous session.

The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has eased to 52, down from recent peaks, suggesting a loss of momentum but not a reversal yet. Meanwhile, MACD remains in negative crossover mode, reflecting the consolidation phase.

Technically, the Nifty50 is holding above the 20-day SMA at 24,830, but failed to reclaim the 25,000 zone, which continues to act as a stiff hurdle.

“The price action is largely sideways within a narrow band, showing indecision post the recent recovery,” Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities, said.

“The immediate support is seen at 24,700, followed by 24,650. On the upside, the 25,000-25,170 range remains a key resistance band; a close above this level may revive bullish sentiment,” he added.

The Nifty Bank ended the session at 55,714.15, down 0.41% on Tuesday, forming a mild bearish candle after facing resistance near the 56,000 zone.
