Ankit Jaiswal has flagged HDFC Bank as one of the key stocks to watch today because oversold extremes of this magnitude in a fundamentally strong bank are rare and often precede meaningful technical recoveries.<\/p>\n<p>The stock is Rs 7.33 below its 20-DMA of Rs 734.28. Key levels to watch: support at Rs 720 (below which the selling accelerates), resistance at Rs 734 (20-DMA) and Rs 742 (prior consolidation zone). The catalyst for a reversal could be FII buying data, positive RBI commentary, or simply the absence of fresh negative news. Watch for today&#8217;s opening \u2014 if HDFC Bank holds above Rs 720 and shows any green candle in the first 30 minutes, it could signal the start of a technical bounce.<\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla notes that HDFC Bank at RSI 22.8 is pricing in significant fundamental disappointment. If the actual situation does not deteriorate further, the valuation cushion and oversold signal together make it a name to monitor closely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Sun_Pharma_%E2%80%94_Deep_Oversold_at_RSI_291\"><\/span><strong>2.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-pharma\/nifty-pharma-share-price-today\">Nifty Pharma<\/a> index is the broader indicator to watch \u2014 if the sector index stabilises or shows positive money flow today, Sun Pharma&#8217;s oversold RSI can translate into a meaningful bounce toward Rs 1,940-1,960.<\/p>\n<p>The downside risk: oversold readings can persist if the company-specific headwind (USFDA regulatory concerns or pricing pressure in the US generics market) is ongoing. Ankit Jaiswal has flagged the Rs 1,875 level as the critical support \u2014 a close below that level would negate the bounce thesis and signal further downside.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Titan_Company_%E2%80%94_Momentum_Watch_Above_Rs_5100\"><\/span><strong>3.

The stock is 2% above its 20-DMA and RSI at 57.7 indicates neutral-to-positive momentum without overbought risk. Ankit Jaiswal has flagged Titan for momentum continuation watch \u2014 particularly if it can hold above Rs 5,050 at the open and push through Rs 5,100.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental catalyst is the approaching festive season: Dhanteras and Diwali in Q3 FY27 typically produce Titan&#8217;s strongest quarterly performance.

The RSI of 32.2 is approaching oversold but not extreme. Kunal Singla has flagged the Rs 181 level as a make-or-break point for today: a sustained hold above Rs 181 with any positive global steel cue (China demand recovery signal or Brent crude stabilising) could trigger a recovery toward Rs 187-188 (20-DMA). A close below Rs 181, however, would be technically bearish and signal further downside toward Rs 176.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-metal\/nifty-metal-share-price-today\">Nifty Metal<\/a> index and global steel futures (SGX Iron Ore, HRC futures) as leading indicators for Tata Steel&#8217;s direction in today&#8217;s session.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Infosys_%E2%80%94_Oversold_in_a_Sector_Under_Global_Pressure\"><\/span><strong>5.

Ankit Jaiswal has flagged Infosys as one of the stocks to watch today for a potential oversold bounce if the global tech mood improves today, but emphasises that the fundamental headwinds (deal ramp-up slowdown, margin pressure from AI investment) mean this is a short-term technical watch rather than a fundamental buy signal.<\/p>\n<p>The key trigger to watch: if the Nifty IT index opens positive and Infosys holds above Rs 1,108-1,110, a bounce toward Rs 1,135-1,140 is possible intraday. A weak Nifty IT open negates this setup entirely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Market_Context_for_Stocks_to_Watch_Today_on_August_24_2026\"><\/span><strong>Key Market Context for Stocks to Watch Today on August 24, 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you track the stocks to watch today on August 24, keep the following macro context in mind: the broader <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a> closed at 24,212 on August 21.

The stock is at Rs 726.95, below its 20-DMA of Rs 734.28. Oversold extremes of this magnitude in fundamentally strong large-cap banks often precede technical bounces. Watch for a hold above Rs 720 and any positive price action in the first 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_key_level_for_Tata_Steel_to_watch_today\"><\/span><strong>What is the key level for Tata Steel to watch today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Tata Steel&#8217;s critical support level to watch today is Rs 181. Kunal Singla at Univest has flagged this as a make-or-break zone: hold above Rs 181 could trigger recovery toward Rs 187-188 (20-DMA), while a close below Rs 181 signals further downside toward Rs 176. The Nifty Metal index is the leading cue for Tata Steel&#8217;s direction.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Titan_Company_a_stock_to_watch_today_despite_markets_being_cautious\"><\/span><strong>Why is Titan Company a stock to watch today despite markets being cautious?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Titan is on the watchlist for positive reasons: RSI 57.7 (healthy momentum), trading 2% above its 20-DMA at Rs 5,086, and approaching festive season tailwinds in jewellery. Ankit Jaiswal has flagged Rs 5,100 as the key breakout level to watch \u2014 a move above Rs 5,100 signals momentum continuation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_RSI_of_Sun_Pharma_today\"><\/span><strong>What is the RSI of Sun Pharma today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Sun Pharma&#8217;s RSI is 29.1 on August 24, 2026 \u2014 still in deeply oversold territory. The stock closed at Rs 1,902.40 against a 20-DMA of Rs 1,942.57. The Rs 1,875 level is the critical support: a close below that negates the bounce thesis. Watch Nifty Pharma index direction as the sector-level trigger.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_%E2%80%98stocks_to_watch_today_mean_for_retail_investors\"><\/span><strong>What does &#8216;stocks to watch today&#8217; mean for retail investors?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The stocks to watch today listed above are not buy or sell recommendations \u2014 they are stocks with specific setups (oversold RSI, key support\/resistance proximity, or momentum triggers) worth monitoring during the trading session. Retail investors should use this as a research starting point, verify live prices on NSE, and consult a SEBI-registered advisor before making any investment decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_analyst_flagged_these_stocks_for_todays_watchlist\"><\/span><strong>Which analyst flagged these stocks for today&#8217;s watchlist?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, flagged HDFC Bank, Sun Pharma, Titan, and Infosys based on RSI and technical setups. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, flagged Tata Steel&#8217;s Rs 181 support level and HDFC Bank&#8217;s quantitative oversold signal as the key setups for August 24, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_Bank_Nifty_likely_to_perform_today\"><\/span><strong>How is the Bank Nifty likely to perform today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Bank Nifty will be the most important sectoral indicator today, as HDFC Bank (RSI 22.8) and ICICI Bank (RSI 35.4) \u2014 both with deep oversold readings \u2014 carry heavy weightage. If these stocks show any stabilisation or positive opening, Bank Nifty could lead the Nifty 50 recovery. A continued decline in these stocks would weigh on the broader index.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stocks to watch today August 24, 2026: HDFC Bank (RSI 22.8), Sun Pharma (RSI 29.1), Titan Company (RSI 57.7), Tata Steel (Rs 181 support watch), Infosys (RSI 30.8).
