Best intraday stocks to watch out for on August 26

During the last two days, Nifty opened with a gap-down and recovered the losses before closing positively.

On Thursday, after opening the day with solid gains and trading in green terrain for the most part of the session, it succumbed to a severe sell-off in the last leg of the session. As a result, it closed down by nearly 0.5% and with this, it ended its two-day winning streak. Though it managed to close above the 20-DMA support, it declined below the 13-EMA.
 

On the daily chart, it formed another sizeable bearish candle with an added distribution day. In any case, if it closes below the 20-DMA, the daily and weekly bearish patterns will get the required confirmations of their implications. The 20-DMA (17,483) may act as immediate support. On the upside, Thursday's high of 17,726 is the immediate resistance. Nifty would be able to resume the upside move only if it climbs above this level.
