TL;DR.

The calendar year 2022 saw roller-coaster-like volatility with the Nifty index hitting a low of 15,191.10 in June. However, some recovery was seen in the second half of the year as the index pared losses to reach a new record high of 18,887.60 in early December. Currently, the index is hovering around the upper band of the range amid mixed signals from the global front, especially the US markets. From the medium-term perspective, Nifty should hold decisive above 18,700 to start the next leg of the up-move, else the time-wise correction would continue. Keeping in mind the scenario, brokerage house Choice Broking has identified a list of 5 stocks. Let's take a look:

ITC: The brokerage advises buying the stock at 334 and up to 325 for the targets of 380 and 400.

ITC is trading at 334 and has numerous support between 320 and 325 levels on the weekly chart, noted the brokerage. The daily chart's RSI indicator is trading near 50 levels, which suggests that the stock would move higher in the coming days. Additionally, the stock is up against a downward-sloping trend line resistance and may break out above 340 levels, which would push it toward its ATH levels of 360 and above.
