Breakout stocks buy or sell: Continuing their decline for a second straight session, India's key stock indices—the Sensex and Nifty 50—closed lower on Monday, May 19, amid negative global signals.

Sumeet Bagadia's breakout stock recommendations

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that the Indian stock market sentiment is positive until the Nifty 50 index is above 24,800.

Speaking on the outlook of Indian stock market, Bagadia said, “ The 50-stock index is facing hurdle at 25,400 while the key benchmark index has crucial support placed at 24,500. One can assume bullish or bearish trend on the breakage of either side of the range. So, one should maintain stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that are looking strong on the technical chart. Breakout stocks can be a good option."
