Stocks to Watch On December 18: Equity markets remained volatile and closed with a marginal decline, in line with the ongoing corrective phase. Going ahead, analysts expect choppy trade to continue amid persistent currency fluctuations and mixed global cues.
Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research at Religare Broking, said the broader trend indicates continued consolidation around key levels. Support is placed near the recent swing low of 25,700, and a decisive break below this could accelerate selling pressure towards 25,450. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen in the 25,950–26,050 zone.
