The benchmark indices closed moderately lower, with the Nifty 50 snapping its eight-day winning streak on September 15, but the market breadth was positive. A total of 1,539 shares advanced compared to 1,283 declining shares on the NSE. The market may remain consolidative with rangebound trading until the August high is decisively broken. Below are some short-term trading ideas to consider:

Cochin Shipyard | CMP: Rs 1,807.8
Cochin Shipyard has established a strong technical base with a triple-bottom pattern in the Rs 1,650–1,700 zone, reinforcing investor confidence at lower levels. The stock has now given a trendline breakout, further validated by a bullish divergence on the MACD histogram, signaling a likely shift in momentum.
Adding to the positive setup, the price has managed to close above the R4 Camarilla monthly pivot—a crucial breakout level—indicating strength in the current trend. Traders may consider entering long positions in the Rs 1,820–1,780 zone, with an upside target of Rs 2,100.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 2,100
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,650
ITI | CMP: Rs 322.55
ITI is showing encouraging signs of strength after successfully holding near its previous demand and breakout zone, reinforcing a solid support base. The stock has recently managed to close marginally above the monthly pivot, a breakout level that often signals continuation of an uptrend.
On shorter timeframes, hourly charts are reflecting bullish divergence, further validating the possibility of momentum picking up in the near term. This confluence of technical indicators suggests an attractive risk-reward setup. Traders may consider entering long positions in the Rs 325–315 zone, with an upside target of Rs 380.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 380
Stop-Loss: Rs 290
Aditya Birla Real Estate | CMP: Rs 1,866.2
A strong base formation is observed in the Rs 1,780–1,830 zone, providing a solid support area for Aditya Birla Real Estate. This zone also coincides with a previously established demand zone, reinforcing its significance. Recently, a trendline breakout has been witnessed around this region, supported by a positive signal on the MACD histogram, which indicates a shift in momentum.
Such technical alignment between base formation, demand zone support, and momentum breakout strengthens the case for potential upside. As long as prices hold above the Rs 1,780–1,830 zone, the outlook remains constructive, with scope for a sustained move higher in the near term. Traders may consider entering long positions in the Rs 1,840–1,870 zone, with a target of Rs 2,050.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 2,050
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,755

There has been clear Call unwinding at the Rs 2,040 and Rs 2,100 strikes, which is positive, and there have been aggressive Put additions as well, indicating support at lower levels.

Siemens | CMP: Rs 3,293.7
Siemens has provided a breakout and a close above the symmetrical triangular pattern, with short-covering data in the futures segment, which is a positive sign in the near term. There were significant shorts in the stock, and with the short-term trend reversal in the price, further short covering can’t be ruled out.
