Breakout stocks to buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends five shares to buy today — 18 December 2025

Breakout stocks to buy or sell: Indian benchmark indices - Sensex and Nifty 50 - extended loses for third consecutive session on Wednesday, December 17, led by constant worries over weak rupee, continued foreign capital outflows and delays in India-US trade deal.

The Sensex slipped 120 points, or 0.14%, to settle at 84,559.65, while the Nifty 50 declined 42 points, or 0.16%, to close at 25,818.55. Broader markets underperformed the frontline indices, with the BSE Midcap index falling 0.53% and the Smallcap index dropping 0.85%.

Sumeet Bagadia's breakout stock recommendations

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that the Indian stock market sentiment has turned weak as the Nifty 50 index went further down and finished around 25,800 levels, which is close to the 50-DEMA support placed around 25,750.

“On breaking below this support, the 50-stock index may try to test 25,500 to 25,400 levels. On the upper side, the key benchmark index is facing hurdle at 26,000. On breaking above this level on a closing basis would fuel positive conviction among bull's. So, one should maintain stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that are looking strong on the technical chart. Looking at breakout stocks can be a good option,” said Bagadia.
