On April 20, 2026, the Indian stock market experienced slight gains, with the Sensex rising to 78,520.30 and the Nifty 50 closing at 24,364.85. This upward movement was influenced by rising crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions related to the US-Iran conflict. Analyst Sumeet Bagadia from Choice Broking noted that the Nifty 50 displayed a Doji candlestick pattern, indicating indecision among traders, and suggested that a breakout in either direction could determine future trends. Bagadia highlighted immediate support for the Nifty 50 at 24,150–24,200 and resistance at 24,500–24,550. He also provided recommendations for five stocks to buy on April 21, which include CESC, MM Forgings, Rashi Peripherals, Siemens Energy India, and Grindwell Norton. Each stock comes with specific entry points, target prices, and stop-loss levels, reflecting a bullish outlook supported by technical indicators and market momentum.
