Breakout stocks to buy or sell: The Sensex and Nifty 50 extended their gains for a third straight session on Thursday, September 18, supported by mixed global signals after the US Federal Reserve trimmed its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points as expected and indicated the possibility of two additional cuts this year.

The Sensex advanced 320 points, or 0.39 per cent, to close at 83,013.96, while the Nifty 50 gained 93 points, or 0.37 per cent, to finish at 25,423.60. Among broader markets, the BSE Midcap index edged up 0.36 per cent, while the Smallcap index ended unchanged.

Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that Indian stock market sentiment is positive as the Nifty 50 index is sustaining above 25,400.

Speaking on the outlook of Indian stock market, Bagadia said, “ The key benchmark index is facing hurdle at 25,550. On breaking above this level on a closing basis, we can expect the 50-stock index to soon touch 25,800 levels. So, one should maintain stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that are looking strong on the technical chart. Looking at breakout stocks can be a good option.”
