Hot Stocks | Buy these three stocks for up to 5% returns in a month

We expect the prevailing consolidation to extend further and Nifty to hover within 12,100-12,400 zone.

However, there will be no shortage of trading opportunities as movement on the stock-specific front would continue on both sides. Traders should focus more on stock selection.

Here are three buy stocks for the next 3-4 weeks:

Bharat Petroleum Corporation | Buy | LTP: Rs 493.05 | Target : Rs 520 | Stop loss: Rs 475 | Upside: 5 %

After a strong surge to its record high, BPCL has witnessed decent profit-taking in the last two months and reached closer to the support zone around Rs 470.

Technically, it has formed a flag pattern on the weekly chart during that corrective phase and looks all set for a rebound now.

Federal Bank | Buy | LTP: Rs 87.55 | Target: Rs 91 | Stop loss: Rs 85 | Upside: 4%

Federal Bank is trading on the verge of a fresh breakout after spending nearly four months in a consolidation range.

The chart pattern combined with the indication from the oscillators is also pointing towards a steady rise from hereon.

Vedanta | Buy | LTP: Rs 154.50 | Target: Rs 162 | Stop loss: Rs 150 | Upside: 5%

Vedanta is showing signs of trend reversal after spending nearly one and a half years in a corrective phase. The recent recovery in the metal space is further adding to the positivity.

We suggest initiating fresh longs positions as per the given levels of Rs 153-155.
