Nifty 50 was trading at 23,446.80 (up 0.50 percent) and Sensex at 74,828.25 (up 0.40 percent) as of 24 September 2026, with Bank Nifty up 0.59 percent at 56,548.90. Metals, NBFCs and select financial stocks led the intraday move, while IT and select pharma names lagged.

Anyone screening for intraday stocks for today on 24 September 2026 is looking at a session where the broader market is in positive territory, but the real action is concentrated in a handful of names showing genuine volume and price strength rather than a broad, indiscriminate rally.

The Nifty 50 and Sensex are both higher today, and Bank Nifty is outperforming both. Within that backdrop, metals stocks and a cluster of NBFC and financial names are showing the sharpest intraday moves, driven by a mix of sector rotation, broker commentary carrying over from the previous session, and elevated trading volumes. The six names below stood out on that basis through today's session.

What Makes a Stock Worth Watching for Intraday Trading

Stocks that matter for intraday trading typically share three characteristics: trading volume well above their recent average, a clear price move (up or down) with volume backing it rather than a thin, choppy range, and enough liquidity in the cash and derivatives segment to allow clean entries and exits. The names below were screened against the NSE and BSE live session data on those criteria.

Stock	LTP (Rs)	Day Change	Why It Is in Focus
Bajaj Finance	1,043.20	+3.41%	Extends a move that began yesterday after UBS upgraded the stock; among the most actively traded F&O names today
Steel Authority of India	185.44	+6.57%	Sharpest move in the F&O gainers list, backed by very heavy volume of over 4 crore shares
Hindalco Industries	1,003.80	+3.17%	Leading a broad-based rally in metal stocks alongside Tata Steel and Vedanta
PB Fintech	1,886.30	+4.50%	Among the top traded F&O stocks today with strong volume in both cash and derivatives segments
Multi Commodity Exchange of India	3,374.00	+3.41%	Elevated volumes alongside broader financial market infrastructure stocks in focus around today's NSE listing
Olectra Greentech	1,275.90	+4.82%	Leading today's high-momentum list with the widest single-day range among the names tracked

Reading Today's Intraday Setups

Bajaj Finance and Steel Authority of India are the two names showing the strongest combination of price and volume today. Bajaj Finance's move is a continuation of yesterday's brokerage-driven strength, while SAIL's over 6 percent gain on volume well above its usual turnover marks it as one of the more volatile intraday names in the metals space today, alongside Hindalco Industries.

PB Fintech and Multi Commodity Exchange of India are both drawing attention from the broader financial market infrastructure theme, with market activity around the National Stock Exchange's own listing on the BSE today adding to interest in exchange and fintech-adjacent names. Olectra Greentech rounds out the list as the single stock with the widest intraday range among the names tracked, a signal of the kind of two-way volatility intraday traders typically look for.

None of this should be read as a signal to enter positions blindly. Intraday moves can reverse quickly, and a stock showing strength in the first half of the session can just as easily give up those gains by the close. Position sizing, stop-loss discipline and your own risk tolerance matter more than any single day's momentum list.

How to Track These Intraday Stocks

1. Check live price, volume and day-range data on the NSE and BSE websites or your trading app before making any decision.
2. Compare current volume against each stock's recent average volume to judge whether the move is genuinely backed by participation.
3. Set a clear stop-loss level before entering any intraday position, based on your own risk appetite.
4. Track sector-wide moves (metals, financials) alongside individual stock action, since today's strength is concentrated by sector rather than spread evenly across the market.

Today's intraday stocks for today list is shaped by a metals-led rally, continuing momentum in select NBFC names, and elevated interest around financial market infrastructure stocks tied to the NSE's own listing day. As always with intraday trading, the names that are volatile in the morning session are not guaranteed to hold their direction through the close, so active monitoring matters more than a static list.

Which stocks are showing strong intraday momentum today, 24 September 2026?

Bajaj Finance, Steel Authority of India, Hindalco Industries, PB Fintech, Multi Commodity Exchange of India and Olectra Greentech are among the stocks showing strong intraday volume and price momentum in today's session, according to NSE and BSE live data.

Why are metal stocks leading today's intraday moves?

Steel Authority of India, Hindalco Industries and Tata Steel are all showing gains of over 3 percent with elevated volume today, suggesting sector-wide buying interest in metals rather than a stock-specific move.

Is a stock with high intraday volume automatically a good buy?

No. High volume alongside a price move signals active trading interest, but it does not by itself indicate the direction a stock will move for the rest of the session. Intraday trading carries significant risk and requires its own risk management approach.

How is Nifty 50 performing today?

Nifty 50 was trading at 23,446.80, up around 0.50 percent, with Sensex at 74,828.25 and Bank Nifty up 0.59 percent as of the time of this article.

Where can I track live intraday stock movements?

Live price, volume and depth data for NSE and BSE listed stocks is available through the exchanges' own websites as well as through trading and investment apps such as Univest.

Should intraday trading decisions be based only on a stocks-to-watch list?

No. A list like this is a starting point for further research, not a standalone trading signal. Always verify current price and volume data independently and apply your own risk management before taking any intraday position.
