Positive global cues have lifted benchmark indices higher after last week's negative to range-bound sentiment. On May 17, amid favorable global conditions, the Nifty gained and was trading at 22,488.25, up 84.4 points, or 0.4 percent.
As we head into the end of this week, with an additional trading session tomorrow on Saturday, Riyank Arora, a Technical Analyst at Mehta Equities, shares some top swing trade ideas to position for the week ahead:
HCC | CMP: Rs 37.50 | Entry: Strictly above Rs 38 | Stoploss: Rs 35.50 | Target: Rs 46
The stock is forming a volatility contraction pattern on its daily timeframe charts, showing good consolidation over the last four months. "If the stock breaks above the level of Rs 38, it should generate good momentum, potentially moving towards the Rs 45-46 levels. A strict stoploss should be maintained at Rs 35.50 to manage risk effectively. With volumes nearly 1.5 times its 30-day average, we expect the stock to perform well going forward," said Arora.
