Jay Thakkar, Head Derivatives and Quant Research at ICICI Securities, recommends taking a bull call spread strategy on Ultratech Cement stock to capture this momentum.

"One can initiate a bull call spread by buying a 9800 CE at Rs 137 and selling a 10200 CE at Rs 37. The total outflow will be 100 points, which is the maximum loss, while the maximum profit will be 300 points. Thus, the risk to reward ratio is 1:3," he said.
