Nifty 500 Alert: These 55 stocks are hitting fresh 52-week lows regularly

Among the losing pack, Solara Active Pharma Sciences has slumped 75 per cent, while Aarti Drugs, MCX India and Tata Communications are other major laggards

The Indian equity markets have been in an declining trend since October 2021 after the key benchmark indices recorded historic peaks. Both, the BSE Sensex and the Nifty50, have shed nearly 15 per cent so far from their respective peaks and are currently exhibiting extremely negative sentiment.
 

Recently, market volatility has risen sharply thus making it all the more difficult for traders to wade through such a difficult phase. On most days, there are gap-ups and gap downs with an unpredictable recovery or reversals. 

Surprisingly, widely known stocks in the Nifty500 index like Wipro, Punjab National Bank, Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Manappuram Finance, Godrej Industries, Aurobindo Pharma and Tata Communications have started fall to new 52-week lows even as the benchmark indices and the Nifty500 remain in close distance to their previous reversal marks.

The reversal mark for Nifty500 stands at 13,423, and is nearly 1 per cent lower from current price level.

Overall, a total of 71 stocks from the Nifty500 index have hit fresh 52-week lows suggesting weakness in the sentiment. Remember, whenever any stock makes a new 52-week low, it signals that market participants should stay aside or look for exits. 

Select stocks from the pack like - Solara Active Pharma Sciences has slumped 75 per cent, Aarti Drugs has plummeted 60 per cent, while Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) and Tata Communications have dropped over 40 per cent each from their respective all-time highs.

Of these 71 stocks, 55 stocks have continuously lost ground in the last 3- 4 sessions, including Indigo Paints, SAIL, Aarti Drugs, One 97 Communications (Paytm), Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Avanti Feeds, Central Bank of India, RBL Bank, Manappuram Finance and MCX India among others. There is tremendous selling pressure building-up considering the volume scenario.
