FSN E-Commerce Ventures | CMP: Rs 192
After a brief period of consolidation around its 21- and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA), Nykaa has successfully surpassed its previous high of approximately Rs 184. This consolidation phase indicates the formation of a robust base, setting the stage for further upward movement. From a technical analysis perspective, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has rebounded from the 50 level, signaling a potential increase in bullish momentum over the coming sessions. Based on these observations, it is recommended to buy Nykaa within the price range of Rs 190-195. The anticipated upside target is Rs 220, with a stop-loss set at Rs 178 based on a daily closing price to safeguard against potential downside risks.

SBI Cards and Payment Services | CMP: Rs 710
Following a peak near Rs 933, SBI Card and Payment Services experienced a significant downturn, with a sharp decline of nearly Rs 280, representing a substantial decrease of approximately 30% in its overall value. Despite this steep drop, SBI Card has managed to stabilize around the Rs 675 level over the past week, forming a sustained support base. This stabilization is a critical sign of potential recovery. Notably, during this period, a bullish alternate pattern has emerged near the Rs 680-710 level, further confirming positive market sentiment. This pattern indicates that the market may be shifting from a bearish to a bullish phase, suggesting a potential rebound.
Moreover, the analysis of the daily RSI reveals a bullish divergence, a strong technical indicator signaling a favourable outlook for the stock. A bullish divergence occurs when the stock price hits a new low while the RSI hits a higher low, indicating that the selling momentum is weakening. Considering these positive technical indicators and chart patterns, investors might find it prudent to initiate buy positions within the range of Rs 705 to Rs 715. The upside objective for this strategy is targeted at Rs 800, suggesting potential gains as the stock price recovers. To manage risk effectively, a stop-loss order should be set at Rs 665 on a daily closing basis.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 800
Stop-Loss: Rs 665
