Day Trading Guide: 2 stock recommendations for Wednesday

The market continued its volatile move as after a flat start Nifty rallied till 17,325. However, once again it failed to sustain at higher levels, erasing early gains. Nifty eventually ended negative at 16,983. The index formed a small-bodied bearish candle with a large upper shadow which indicates selling pressure at higher levels as it failed to surpass the peak of Friday’s tall bearish candle. With India VIX closing above levels of 21, ongoing higher price volatility is likely to continue and stability is essential for any revival to set in.

Intraday rally in the Bank Nifty found stiff resistance near 36,800. Higher shadow in the Bank Nifty infers selling pressure at higher levels.
