Market Trading Guide: Buy Zydus Lifesciences, Solar Industries on Friday for gains up to 15%

Synopsis

Nifty 50 closed higher for a second straight session, driven by banking, metal and pharma stocks despite IT weakness. Analysts see 23,800 as a crucial resistance level, while recommending Zydus Lifesciences and Solar Industries India for near-term gains on strong technical indicators and bullish momentum.

Nifty ended positive on Thursday for the second day in a row led by banks, metals and pharma stocks, negating selling trends in the IT counters.The index rallied sharply higher but faced resistance near the previous congestion zone around 23,800, leading to a slightly lower closing.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said the index continues to trade below the critical 20 EMA, indicating that the broader trend remains bearish. "In the near term, a decisive move above 23,800 could trigger fresh upside momentum, potentially taking the index towards 24,200 and even higher levels. However, failure to sustain above 23,800 may invite renewed selling pressure and bring the bears back into control of the market," De said.

Here are 2 stocks to buy:

Buy Zydus Lifesciences at Rs 993 | Upside: 7%

Stop Loss: Rs 960

Target: Rs 1,063

The stock has shown a strong recovery after forming a broad consolidation base near the 850–870 zone,indicating accumulation at lower levels. Price action has moved above key short-term and medium-term moving averages, reflecting improving momentum and strengthening trend structure. The recent breakout above the falling trend line resistance near 980–990, supported by rising volumes, signals renewed buying interest and the possibility of further upside. Short-term EMAs trading above long-term averages further reinforce the positive outlook. Additionally, RSI sustaining above the 60 mark highlights healthy momentum and bullish participation. As long as the stock sustains above breakout levels, the broader uptrend is likely to remain intact.
