All three intraday stocks for today are large-cap names with high liquidity. Each pick has a defined entry zone, target and stop loss based on Friday 19 June closing data and the Bank Nifty +123-point futures premium.

HDFC Bank — Intraday Stock for Today

Share Price Target: Rs 795 | Stop Loss: Rs 772 | Market Cap: Rs 5,96,000 Cr | Theme: Bank Nifty recovery play

HDFC Bank closed at Rs 779.80 on Friday, down 2.40 percent, as a hawkish Fed reaction dragged the banking heavyweight from its session high. However, Bank Nifty futures closed with a +123-point premium on Friday, the week’s strongest bullish carry signal across any sector. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest notes that HDFC Bank, as the index’s largest constituent by weight, typically leads the recovery when Bank Nifty futures are this strongly positioned.

For Monday 22 June’s session, the support zone of Rs 773-776 aligns with Friday’s demand cluster and the weekly S1 pivot. A hold above Rs 778 at the open and a Bank Nifty futures-to-spot conversion sets up a target of Rs 795, where the previous Thursday close sat. Stop loss at Rs 772 keeps the risk-reward at approximately 1:2.

Sun Pharma — Intraday Stock for Today

Share Price Target: Rs 1865 | Stop Loss: Rs 1820 | Market Cap: Rs 4,41,000 Cr | Theme: Pharma defensive momentum

Sun Pharma was Friday’s strongest large-cap defensive, gaining 0.74 percent to Rs 1,838.30 as the market rotated aggressively out of IT and into rate-agnostic sectors. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest observes that pharma earnings are driven by specialty pipeline delivery and not the rate cycle, making Sun Pharma the sector name least exposed to the hawkish Fed narrative that hit the broader market on Friday.

For Monday 22 June’s session, Sun Pharma closed above its short-term moving average cluster and near the upper end of its Friday range. The support at Rs 1,820 is clean and aligns with the previous session’s low. Kunal Singla targets Rs 1,865 on continuation of Friday’s defensive rotation, with a stop loss at Rs 1,820 to keep the trade well-defined.

Bajaj Finance — Intraday Stock for Today

Share Price Target: Rs 985 | Stop Loss: Rs 950 | Market Cap: Rs 59,700 Cr | Theme: NBFC rate environment resilience

Bajaj Finance closed at Rs 961.80 on Friday, gaining 0.31 percent, holding up firmly as financial services stocks diverged from IT. FinNifty futures closed with a +51-point premium on Friday, and Bajaj Finance as a high-quality NBFC benefits from the hawkish rate outlook that presses IT but expands NIM expectations for lenders. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest notes that Bajaj Finance’s ability to maintain positive session momentum on Friday’s volatile tape is a constructive technical signal.

For Monday 22 June’s session, the Rs 955-962 zone is a cluster of intraday support built through Friday’s session. A hold above Rs 958 at the Monday open sets up the trade toward Rs 985. The stop loss at Rs 950 sits below Friday’s intraday low, keeping the risk-reward at approximately 1:2.5. Ankit Jaiswal confirms the setup is valid if Bank Nifty opens above its Friday close.

Intraday Trading Strategy for Today’s Session

Wait for the open: Check GIFT Nifty before 9:15 AM. If Nifty opens with a gap-up above 24,093, the intraday stocks for today have a tailwind. If the open is below 24,000, reduce position sizes
Bank Nifty first 15 minutes: If Bank Nifty opens near 57,700-57,800 and holds above 57,661, the HDFC Bank and Bajaj Finance intraday setups are confirmed
Hard stop losses: Rs 772 for HDFC Bank, Rs 1,820 for Sun Pharma and Rs 950 for Bajaj Finance are non-negotiable exits for the intraday stocks for today
Book partial profits: At 50-60 percent of target, book partial profits and trail the stop loss to cost on the remaining position

Risks of Intraday Trading Today on 22 June 2026

Gap risk: Monday opens can gap significantly from Friday’s close based on weekend news; the US-Iran deal status and US market close Friday night are the key overnight risks for the intraday stocks for today
IT overhang: If Infosys or TCS open sharply lower on further global tech selling, the Nifty could break 24,000 and pressure even the defensive intraday stocks for today
Liquidity risk: All three intraday stocks for today are large-cap with high liquidity, but Monday morning spreads can be wider than normal; use limit orders near the open rather than market orders

Conclusion

The intraday stocks for today, 22 June 2026, are HDFC Bank, Sun Pharma and Bajaj Finance, identified by Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest based on Friday 19 June’s closing data and the Bank Nifty +123-point futures premium that sets up a positive Monday open bias. HDFC Bank is the bounce play on a deeply oversold stock with the strongest futures carry in the market, Sun Pharma carries the pharma defensive momentum from Friday and Bajaj Finance adds the NBFC rate-environment angle. For the best intraday stocks to buy today, always use your defined stop losses and check the Monday open before entering any position from this list of intraday stocks for today.
