10 Buy Ideas from Experts for May Series; What to Expect?

The second wave of corona has shown a huge impact on economy break-down. Also, the Indian stock market has remained volatile, however, it managed to close flat with negative bias for the month of April. Meanwhile, broader market out-performed benchmarks as the S&P BSE Midcap index rose 0.65 percent, and the S&P BSE Smallcap index closed with gains of about 5 percent in April.

Although the rise in COVID-19 cases have led to extended lockdowns in various cities, experts say if Nifty manages to hold 14,300 level, it may retest its previous record high of 15,430. The nifty could bounce back to hit highs.

“The rollover has been very low this time in both Nifty and Bank Nifty and also the open interest in both is not significant. This indicates that markets are light and can turn either way based on the way positions are being built,” Mehul Kothari, AVP – Technical Research at Anand Rathi said.

“We hope that things start to settle by the middle of the May series. On the levels front, 14,300–15400 is the range which we are expecting,” he said.
