Top stock market recommendations: According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President - WM Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, Jindal Steel, Ajanta Pharma, and Godrej Agrovet are the top buy calls for today. Here’s his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for July 31, 2025:Index View: NiftyNifty closed at 4 day high, recovering its losses seen at the start of this week as the initial pattern target of bearish head and shoulder breakdown was seen completing at 24600. A short covering move was seen ahead of monthly expiry due today. Nifty is yet not out of the woods and currently stands at the retest of head and shoulder breakdown. Only a close above 25010 negates any potential down move while another 400 pt downside can commence if Nifty closes below 24600. Hence, for the balance of this week, we are estimating for a rangebound trade between 24600 – 25010.Bank NiftyBank Nifty has been nearing its 5 month rising trendline support at 55800 odd as the index continues to outperform Nifty since the start of this calendar year. On hourly charts as well, the index gave a break below its rising channel in the start of this week but pulled back in reinstating its underlying strong amongst insides. Trend on Bank Nifty remains positive for a move towards 56800 / 57100 unless a close below support of 55800 is not confirmed on daily charts.JINDALSTEL (BUY):LCP: 982.85Stop Loss: 950Target: 1080Countering the broader market trend, stock was up over 4% in last week’s trading as it broke out from its 1 year trendline.
