The Nifty50 snapped a three-week losing streak and gained more than 1 percent to settle above 17,300 as well as 50 DEMA (days exponential moving average) of 17,275 in the week ended October 7, backed by buying across sectors barring FMCG.
The 50-share NSE benchmark has formed a decent bullish candlestick pattern on the weekly scale following a hammer pattern formation in the previous week, confirming the bullish bias. Now the index needs to hold on to 17,200, the immediate support level, as above the same level, 17,400 is expected to be immediate hurdle followed by 17,500, experts said. The crucial support remains at psychological 17,000 mark.
The index settled the last week with more than 200 points losses at 17,315, while there was outperformance in broader space as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices gained 2.4 percent and 2.6 percent respectively.
"Since Nifty has managed to surpass 17,200 and is maintaining its position above this, 17,200 – 17,000 now becomes a sacrosanct zone for the market. Additionally, we can now observe yet another technical indicator i.e. positive crossover in daily ‘RSI-Smoothened’ is likely to provide a helping hand for bulls," Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel One said.
He further said, "If the global market supports, we being the stronger market is likely to continue in the upward direction."
As far as levels are concerned, 17,400 - 17,500 - 17,650 are to be seen as immediate hurdles for the Nifty50.
Sameet Chavan advises traders to remain sanguine and better to keep focusing on stock-specific moves.
Let's take a look at the top 10 trading ideas by experts for the next three-four weeks. Returns are based on the October 7 closing prices:
Expert: Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities
Phoenix Mills: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,451.65 | Stop-Loss: Rs 1,350 | Target: Rs 1,600 | Return: 10 percent
It has been consolidating between the rectangle trading range of Rs 1,450 and Rs 1,300 for the past two months. However, the volume indicator was only supporting the formation when it was about to break above the upside barrier of the range.
On Friday, the stock closed above the level of Rs 1,450. It is a bullish break-out formation for the stock and will help the stock to rally towards Rs 1,600 in the near term.
Buying is advisable at current levels and on declines up to Rs 1,400. One can place a stop-loss at Rs 1,350 for the same.
Poonawalla Fincorp: Buy | LTP: Rs 330.10 | Stop-Loss: Rs 315 | Target: Rs 370 | Return: 12 percent
Since the stock has fallen to Rs 280 levels, it is slowly moving upwards. On Friday, the stock managed to close above the level of Rs 330, where it has a major resistance.
However, looking at the OBV (on-balance volume), we think it will cross Rs 330 and Rs 345 levels without any major effort.
It is in buy mode and would cross all major hurdles in the medium term. The strategy should be to buy between Rs 330 and Rs 320. Place a stop-loss at Rs 314 for a target of Rs 370.
Zomato: Buy | LTP: Rs 69.55 | Stop-loss: Rs 64 | Target: Rs 90 | Return: 29 percent
The stock made a remarkable comeback from the low of Rs 42. The positive divergence worked and supported the stock to move higher. On Friday, it crossed another level of resistance at Rs 69, which would send the stock to Rs 90 levels with a major hurdle at Rs 80.
Major oscillators are supporting the overall bullish formation of the stock. We are expecting a further upside in the stock from the current levels. It is a buy between Rs 70 and Rs 67. Place a stop-loss at Rs 64 for a target of Rs 90.
Expert: Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com
Jubilant Ingrevia: Buy | LTP: Rs 545.85 | Stop-Loss:Rs 512 | Target: Rs 578-600 | Return: 6-10 percent
The stock has consolidated within a narrow range in last few weeks. In the last few days, the stock witnessed buying interest as the volumes increased gradually and prices have now given a breakout from the falling trendline resistance.
The ‘RSI Smoothed’ oscillator is hinting at a positive momentum and hence, we expect the stock to continue its upmove in the near term.
Traders can buy the stock around current market price of Rs 545 and look to add on dips around Rs 525 for potential short term targets of Rs 578 and Rs 600.
The stop loss on short positions should be placed below Rs 512.
ONGC: Buy | LTP: Rs 134 | Stop-Loss: Rs 124 | Target: Rs 150 | Return: 12 percent
The stock has seen a decent correction from the highs in last couple of months as the crude Oil prices have cooled off from their highs. However, the prices are now showing signs of some pullback move as it has given a breakout from a trendline resistance.
The RSI oscillator has also given a positive crossover indicating a buying momentum.
Hence, traders can buy the stock in the range of Rs 134-132 for potential short term target of Rs 150. The stop-loss on positions should be placed below Rs 124.
Expert: Jatin Gohil, Technical and Derivatives Research Analyst at Reliance Securities
Tata Chemicals: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,181.80 | Stop Loss: Rs 1,032 | Target: Rs 1,450 | Return: 23 percent
The stock bounced back after testing its prior point of polarity (placed at around Rs 1,050) and poised for a fresh up-move. The stock has potential to explore uncharted territory, which could lead it towards its 61.8 percent and 100 percent Fibonacci extension levels of prior up-move (Rs 773-1,194), which are placed at Rs 1,290 and Rs 1,450, respectively.
Its key moving averages are sloping upwards on long-term as well as medium-term timeframe charts and the key technical indicators are also positively poised.
In case of any decline, the stock will continue to find support around its prior point of polarity. A stable move below that point will invalidate desired action in the stock.
Tata Communications: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,217.90 | Stop-Loss: Rs 1,096 | Target: Rs 1,520 | Return: 25 percent
The stock rose to four-and-half-month high of Rs 1,284 post a trendline breakout. After a higher level of reversal, the stock formed a base around its prior point of polarity (placed at around Rs 1,125) and bounced subsequently.
This could take the stock towards its highest level of April 2022 (Rs 1,401) initially and medium-term multiple tops (Rs 1,520) subsequently.
The stock is positively poised on the key moving averages on the short-term timeframe chart and its key technical indicators are also in favour of the bulls. On the lower side, the stock will continue to find support around its prior point of polarity. A convincing move below that point will negate possible up-move in the stock.
Shree Cements: Buy | LTP: Rs 21,284 | Stop-Loss: Rs 20,500 | Target: Rs 24,200 | Return: 14 percent
After a higher level of reversal, the stock formed a base around its 61.8 percent Fibonacci Retracement level of up-move (Rs 17,865-25,550) and poised for a breakout. This could lead the stock towards Rs 22,900-23,745-24,200 in the short-term.
The key technical indicators gave buy signal post bullish divergence.
At current juncture, the stock is providing better risk reward for desired action. In case of any decline, the stock will continue to find support around its 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of prior up-move.
A stable move below that level will invalidate probable rise in the stock.
