'Momentum may take Nifty higher to 12,400 next week, bullish on these 3 stocks'

Nevertheless, the Nifty is trading higher above all popular moving averages (20/50/100/200) DMA, indicating a strong bullish bias to continue further. At the same time formation of Golden Crossover of 50*200 DMA last month indicates strong price action in favour of bulls ahead.

A lot of activity in the F&O segment is seen, whereas the highest Open Interest (OI) in Put is around 12,000 strike and maximum Open Interest (OI) in Call is around 12,300 levels.

Moreover, a sustained move above high 12,300 levels will push prices higher towards the Fibonacci extension mark of 12,400, which coincides also with the cup and handle pattern targets.

Bank Nifty

The Bank Nifty continues to soar higher along with the Nifty which has also scaled new highs with the current momentum. As long as the banking index sustains above 31,800 mark, it can extend higher towards 33,000 -33,500 levels.

Here is the list of three stocks which could return 7-15 percent next week:

Ashok Leyland | Buy around: Rs 83 | Target: Rs 96 | Stop loss: Rs 75 | Upside: 15 percent

On the daily chart, the stock price has decisively broken out from its downward sloping line and sustaining above the same. On the daily and weekly chart, the stock has witnessed a shift of trend to the upward forming base with congestion.

The weekly strength indicator and the momentum indicator Stochastic both are in positive territory which supports upside momentum to continue in the near term. The stock price is sustaining well above all its significant moving averages, which supports bullish sentiment ahead. Buy Ashok Leyland above Rs 83 with a stop loss of Rs 75 and for the target of Rs 96.

Container Corporation of India | Buy around: Rs 575 | Target: Rs 625 | Stop loss: Rs 545 | Upside: 8 percent

On a daily chart, the stock has taken the support of its lower band of falling channel line formation in which the stock has been trading since the last many days, which indicate a breakout movement in the counter.
