Equity markets have been in a
downtrend for the last six trading sessions, with the benchmark indices the Sensex and the Nifty tumbling up to 4 per cent, thus far, at the day's low of 75,380 and 22,788 in intra-day deals on Wednesday.
Donald Trump's new tariffs, sustained selling by foreign institutional investors, a weaker rupee and unimpressive corporate earnings seem to be taking a toll on the markets, which analysts believe were trading at expensive valuations.
Amid the downturn,
more than 81 per cent of the Nifty 500 stocks were seen trading below the long-term moving averages, in line with the NSE Nifty 50 index.
As such, stock selection becomes a challenging task. Here are 5 such stocks that can potentially buck the present gloomy sentiment and rally up to 15 per cent from present levels, based on the technical chart set-up.
