Stocks to watch: Ambuja Cements, Vodafone Idea, HDFC, Adani Ent

Srinagar, Apr 18: After three consecutive trading sessions of declines following record highs, market experts anticipate the indices may enter a consolidation phase. Immediate support is seen at 22,100 for the Nifty 50, which coincides with the 50-day exponential moving average. The key support level is the 22,000 mark, aligning with an upward-sloping trendline.

If the market bounces back, the 22,300-22,400 range is expected to act as resistance on the upside. The formation of a spinning top candlestick pattern, though not a classic one, after the recent downturn suggests the market may attempt a recovery. However, analysts are advising a sell-on-rise strategy as sentiment remains bearish.

On Monday, April 16th, the BSE Sensex plunged 456 points to 72,944, while the Nifty 50 fell 125 points to 22,148. Markets were closed on Tuesday for Ram Navami.
