Hot Stocks | Can buy LIC Housing Finance, Delta Corp and SBI Life for short term

On the derivatives front, the rally was supported by short-covering, done by call writers at 12,400 and 12,500 strikes.

Furthermore, put writers added hefty open interest at 12,400 strikes and seen shifting at higher bands.

On the technical front, 12,750 and 29,500 would act as an immediate hurdle for Nifty and Bank Nifty, respectively.

However, secondary oscillators suggest that the market is a bit overheated now and traders should expect volatility in the coming sessions.

On the downside, 12,400 would act as strong support for Nifty with bias likely to remain in favour of bulls.

We advise traders to use any dip to create fresh longs. For Bank Nifty, the 28,000-27,500 zone is a strong support area.

Here are three buy calls for the next 2-3 weeks:

LIC Housing Finance | LTP: Rs 323.50 | Target price: Rs 353 | Stop loss: Rs 293 | Upside: 9%

Delta Corp | LTP: Rs 119.50 | Target price: Rs 132 | Stop loss: Rs 108 | Upside: 10%
