On April 22, 2026, the Indian stock market experienced a sharp downturn, with the Sensex falling by 757 points (0.95%) to close at 78,516.49 and the Nifty 50 declining by 199 points (0.81%) to settle at 24,378.10. This halt in the market's three-day winning streak was attributed to sustained selling pressure. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, highlighted the formation of bearish candlestick patterns, indicating short-term weakness in the indices. He advised traders to monitor key support levels around 24,100–24,150 for Nifty and 56,800–56,900 for Bank Nifty, while resistance levels are noted at 24,550–24,600 and 57,450–57,550, respectively. Amid ongoing market volatility, Bagadia recommended five stocks for purchase: NCC, Timken India, Wockhardt, Netweb Technologies India, and Global Health, each with specific entry points, target prices, and stop-loss levels. For instance, NCC is suggested at ₹163.98 with a target of ₹175, while Timken India is recommended at ₹3,633 with a target of ₹3,950. Investors are advised to exercise caution and adhere to disciplined risk management while considering these recommendations.
