Hot Stocks | Laurus Labs, Indian Hotels and Maithan Alloys could give 8-10% return in short term

In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 14,700-14,800 levels. This level also coincides with the previous all-time high level which will interchange its role as a support going forward.

Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact till Nifty is trading above 14,700 levels.

Nifty has shown a sharp recovery of more than 100 percent from 7,511(March 2020 bottom) to 15,160 (February 8, 2021 high).

Immediate target for Nifty is seen at 15,470, which happens to be 161.8 percent retracement of the entire fall seen from January 2020 to March 2020.

While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would only be confirmed once the support level of 14,700 is broken.

Last week, Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices broke out on the daily chart. Even after a sharp rise in the market during the last few days, the number of 52-week highs from NSE500 are still lower than the year 2017, 2014 and 2007.

This indicates that Midcaps and Smallcaps could continue to do well.

We believe that the intermediate trend of Nifty continues to be positive. Trading longs in the Nifty should be held on with the trailing stop loss of 14,700 levels.

We expect mid-caps to outperform the benchmark indices in the coming days.
