News Topical, Digital Desk : After last week's sharp decline, the stock market saw a strong recovery from lower levels on February 16th. Market experts have recommended buying two stocks based on technical analysis. Independent market expert Abhishek Bhatt said that after today's rally, the market sentiment appears positive, but the advance-decline (1208 points higher vs. 1713 points lower) indicates that the rally is currently limited to a select few large stocks.

2 Stock Picks for February 17

HDFC Bank

Closing: ₹925.80 (+2.42%)

Technical View:

Strong support zone at 900–905 on the daily chart

Close above 20 DMA

RSI around 58–60, meaning it is not overbought yet

Strong support in Bank Nifty (60,949) is providing support.

Trade Setup:

Buy Zone: ₹920–930

Target 1: ₹945

Target 2: ₹960

Stop Loss: ₹905

If Bank Nifty opens strong, it may see follow-up buying.

Power Grid Corp

Closing: ₹300.50 (+4.63%)

Technical View:

Breakout above ₹295 resistance

Close with high volume

Higher High Formation on the Daily Chart

Trade Setup:

Buy on dips: ₹296–300

Target 1: ₹310

Target 2: ₹318

Defensive buying is seen in the power sector, hence entry on decline would be better.

stock market strategy for tomorrow

Nifty Support: 25,500

Resistance: 25,850–26,000

If Nifty stays above 25,500, the short-term rally could continue. However, the broader market is weak, so avoid overexposure.
