Top stock market recommendations:
According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President - WM Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, Chennai Petroleum Corporation, LTIMindtree , and Zydus Lifesciences are the top buy calls for today.
Here's his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for May 29, 2025:
Index View: Nifty
For the past 9 trading days, Nifty has been static within a 2% band, however the highs of 25000 has been constantly providing supply non index longs. Unless a closing above 25050 is not confirmed, the downside swing towards 24300 / 24100 remains open on the index. Nifty has had a nearly 15% run up in the past 6 weeks without a 2% correction.
With the price action seen from the start of this week, it is fair for the index to retest 200 DMA support on downside which currently reads below 24100.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty has broken from its 6 week rising trendline in last week's trading. This puts the index back on track to retest its polarity support of its original 5 year rising trendline. Targets for this breakdown hint for a 1200-1500 point breakdown from CMP. Negation for this down move is seen only when the index closes above 55600.

CHENNPETRO (BUY):LCP: 719.05Stop Loss: 681Target: 777
After a bullish head and shoulder breakout on daily and weekly charts earlier this month, prices are consolidating after crossing the 200 DMA resistance on shares on Chennai Petroleum Corporation. This consolidation in a range is a typical price behaviour on this stock historically observed before another round of up move. A follow up move of 7-9% is likely to be unfolded post this monthly derivative expiry.
LTIM (BUY):LCP: 5099Stop Loss: 4950Target: 5525
After trading at a 3 year low in April, LTIMindtree has been rising within a channel and has gained 25% since its April lows. A typical higher high – higher low formation underlines the bullish set up and inflows on the counter. The stock has widely outperformed its benchmark NIFTYIT index on a YTD basis which is down over 13% while LTIM is down 8% in the same period of 2025. A move towards higher range of the bullish channel is likely to unfold for target of 5525.
ZYDUSLIFE (BUY):
LCP: 925.60Stop Loss: 888Target: 980
Zydus Lifesciences stock has closed at a 2 month high, after breaking out from a falling trendline earlier this month which was in place since August 2024. Repeated higher lows have been seen from the start of this month on daily charts, this 2 high note closing on charts is likely to allow further thrust on the stock for a resistance meet at its 200 DMA near 980 odd.

Waaree Energies shares may break April 2025 peak after Friday's 12% jump: Anand James
After a blistering 12% rally on Friday, Waaree Energies is back in the spotlight. With the stock inching closer to its April 2025 peak, Anand James of Geojit believes this breakout attempt may finally stick, setting the stage for fresh highs. Edited excerpts from a chat with Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited on trading strategy for the week ahead: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Bayugan (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo Nifty has been struggling to move sustainably higher than the 25,000-mark for the last few weeks, as visible this time again. On the fundamental side, triggers are missing, but why is 25k such an important level to watch out for on the charts? Yes, 25k is indeed a daunting challenge. Previous attempts to clear the same had proved to be short-lived as there was hardly any follow-through momentum, thus leading to a sharp withdrawal. Hence, the reapproach of the 25k mount is accompanied by concerns about sustainability. Being at the upper Bollinger band as well, it would require further momentum to continue the uptrend. ADX at 13.2 does not indicate strong momentum either. Nevertheless, upswing attempts may be seen initially, but may not clear the 25200-460 band. Alternatively, inability to float above 25045 could see dips, but will wait for 24865 to switch sides. Give us your trading strategy for Nifty monthly expiry next week. What are the levels to watch out for? We would be entering the expiry week with a surprise jump above 25000, that has attracted call OTM buyers only as far as 25500. The same pattern is visible in the 3rd July expiry contract as well with PE buying accumulated at 24800. This raises the expectation of a trading range limited to the 25500-24800 region, calling for a short strangle option strategy with these at the strikes for the two legs. An alternative approach would be to short straddle at 25000, with stop loss placed at 25500 and 24800 on either side. Live Events With BSE and NSE swapping their expiry days with effect from September, how would your trading strategy change when it comes to index options? Monday is now sandwiched between the weekend and expiry, elevating the caution that is usually commanded by day. Even though Monday has to deal with weekend news flows, there is always an optimism, being the start of the week. But with expiry falling on Tuesday, such vibes will be restrained. This would mean that premium expansion and directional entry-exits will be largely front loaded, as there will be little opportunity to escape from theta decay post Thursday, with Friday being the weekend eve and Monday being the expiry eve. For derivative traders, Thursday has been associated with Nifty expiry day for many years. Now with Sensex coming in on Thursday, how do you see trader interest evolving in Sensex contracts? Since late 2023, Sensex F&O has seen a steady increase in trading volume. Between March and December 2024, it consistently accounted for about 70% of the total trading volume across both the NSE and BSE. This momentum accelerated further in January 2025, when the Sensex saw a 12% month-on-month volume spike, coinciding with its shift in weekly expiry from Friday to Tuesday. Now, a new phase of expiry restructuring is set to reshape this dynamic. From September 2025, the Nifty will move its expiry to Tuesday, while the Sensex will shift to Thursday. This change could significantly alter the volume patterns across the two exchanges. Nifty may reclaim lost ground with Tuesday expiries, attracting traders looking to capitalize on early-week strategies and weekend time decay. This could lead to increased activity on Mondays and Tuesdays. Meanwhile, with Thursday as the new expiry, Sensex will see shorter positioning windows earlier in the week, which may temper the intense volume surges, especially on the expiry day. That said, the new trading dynamics will take a while to play out, and it is also possible that Sensex will get more opportunities to price the events of the week, having more trading days ahead of expiry. Time will tell. The broader market underperformed this week. Are the charts hinting at a revival in small and midcaps? The weakness in the small and mid-caps was visible throughout the week. On Thursday, when Nifty closed almost flat, the small cap 250 index fell nearly 2%. And on Friday, when Nifty rose 1.29%, small cap 250 index rose only 0.6%. Friday's optimistic rise has not managed to retrace even 50% of Thursday's fall, raising fears of an extended fall to 16650-16500. Alternatively, a rise above 16900 will help shrug off the weakness, but we feel that upsides may be limited. Waaree Energies surprised investors on Friday with a sharp 12% jump. How to trade the stock on Monday? An outright jump from one end to the other end of the Bollinger will render the stock unattractive to jump into right away. But we feel that the April 2025 peak, which the stock has attempted several times unsuccessfully, will be broken in this attempt. Longs entered on dips to 2895 may have stop loss placed below 2822. Give us your top ideas for the week ahead VIPIND (CMP: 409) Target – 450 Stoploss – 399 The stock recently confirmed a breakout from an inverted Head & Shoulders pattern and continues to maintain its upward momentum. On the monthly chart, the SMIO histogram has crossed above the zero line, suggesting a shift in long-term sentiment. Additionally, the RSI is holding near 60, indicating sustained strength without being overbought. On the daily timeframe, the appearance of an inverted hammer—a classic bullish reversal signal following a dip—adds further conviction to the upside potential. Based on this technical setup, the stock is expected to move toward the 450 mark in the near term. To manage risk, a stop-loss should be placed just below ₹399.

Market Outlook: Iran-Israel Conflict, Crude Oil Prices, FII Activity To Drive Stock Market This Week
New Delhi: The coming week will be crucial for Indian equities, with market sentiment likely to be shaped by geopolitical developments, crude oil trends, and foreign institutional investor (FII) activity. The spotlight is now on the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, especially after the US launched airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, marking its direct involvement in the war. Market analysts warn that any further escalation in the conflict could weigh heavily on investor sentiment. According to Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical Research and Derivatives at SBICAP Securities, the Iran-Israel war is playing a significant role in driving market emotions. 'Currently, the market is witnessing selective strength as investors reassess the risks of a broader regional conflict,' he noted. Crude oil prices have remained elevated after breaching their 200-day EMA last week, although momentum has slowed slightly. Shah pointed out that persistently high oil prices are stoking fears of inflation and potential supply chain disruptions, both of which are key concerns for the market going forward. Despite geopolitical tensions, Indian markets ended the past week on a strong note. The Nifty surged 1.59 per cent or 393.80 points to close at 25,112.40, while the Sensex rose by 1.59 per cent or 1,289.57 points to settle at 82,408.17. This rally was led by the Nifty Private Bank Index, which gained 1.64 per cent. Other sectoral indices also performed well, with Nifty Auto up 1.51 per cent, Nifty IT rising 1.36 per cent, and Nifty Services gaining 1.48 per cent. However, the Nifty Metal and Pharma indices declined more than 1.5 per cent during the same period. Commenting on the Nifty's outlook, Shah said, 'Over the last 28 trading sessions, the Nifty has largely oscillated between 25,222 and 24,462. Notably, 16 of those sessions saw gap-up or gap-down openings, indicating continued market volatility. This pattern suggests limited opportunities for directional trades in the current environment.'

Indian stock market: What does US-Iran escalation mean for Nifty 50, Sensex? Key technical levels to watch out
Indian stock market: Indian benchmark indices - Sensex, Nifty 50 - are expected to open in gap-up session on Monday after United States has officially joined Israel in striking Iranian nuclear strikes. However, investors are hopeful for a market rebound as escalating geopolitical tensions continue to exert downward pressure on market sentiment, according to experts. Mahesh M Ojha, AVP — Research at Hensex Securities, said, ' Investors should keep an eye on the gap-up opening on Monday as geopolitical tensions intensify worldwide. The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran is expected to push up global crude oil and gold prices.' Experts suggest that the U.S. economy and global markets were unprepared for this sudden conflict, which could weigh heavily on overall investor sentiment across global stock markets. The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated significantly, with the United States launching attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and formally entering the war alongside Israel. The strikes reportedly targeted Iran's heavily guarded nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. US B-2 bombers, known for their advanced stealth capabilities and built by Northrop Grumman, were used in the operation. These aircraft are capable of carrying powerful bombs, which experts believe are well-suited for such high-security targets. Iran has pledged to strike back, sparking concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East. In light of the escalating tensions, the United States has initiated evacuation flights from Israel. On Friday, Indian equities ended the week with a 1.6% gain, rebounding from a three-day slump with a strong rally. Sensex opened slightly below its previous close at 81,354.85, compared to 81,361.87, but rallied by 1,133 points or 1.4% to hit an intraday high of 82,494.49. Similarly, the Nifty 50 started the day at 24,787.65, just under its last close of 24,793.25, and rose 1.4% to reach an intraday high of 25,136.20. Also Read | Stocks to buy under ₹100: Sumeet Bagadia recommends 3 shares to buy on Monday Key technical levels to watch out According to Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet, the Nifty has successfully defended key support of 24500 and appears poised for an upside breakout from its consolidation range. ' For the past six consecutive weeks, Nifty has largely moved in a band of 24500-25200 and once there is a breakout on the higher side it would signal a bullish impulse and is likely to pave the way for higher targets of around the 25700 mark,' Sachdeva said. Meanwhile, on the outlook of Bank Nifty, she said, ' As for the Bank Nifty, it's likely to remain supported at 55400 levels and as long as the banking index is able to maintain this level, it is well-positioned to target higher levels of around 57180 mark.'
