Top midcap stocks with a high Piotroski score

Nifty 50 had a weak opening today amid global cues and is presently trading around 16,650 levels down compared to Monday’s close of 16,794. Yesterday markets were closed on account of Mahashivratri. Having said that, at present market’s (Nifty 50) 200 Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is acting as a very strong resistance, whereas 16,203 and 16,356 is acting as a very good support zone.

The markets now would consolidate until any major development is witnessed in the geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine. However, markets still hold the downwards bias as they made a lower low on February 24, 2022. Having said that, it makes complete sense to gradually accumulate stocks with sound financials and nothing better than looking at companies with high Piotroski score.
