The market corrected by more than one percent for another session and hit a nearly five-month low on November 13, with the overall breadth remaining in the control of bears. A total of 2,222 shares declined, while 266 shares gained on the NSE. The downward pressure may persist in the market, given the strong control exerted by bears over Dalal Street. Below are some trading ideas for the near term:
Vidnyan S Sawant, Head of Research at GEPL Capital
Bharti Hexacom | CMP: Rs 1,426
On the weekly chart, Bharti Hexacom shows a strong price structure, staying consistently above its 12-week EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Recently, the stock experienced a bullish mean reversion, with the RSI (Relative Strength Index) momentum indicator holding firm above 60. Additionally, a bullish crossover on the daily chart further strengthens the positive momentum.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,590
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,340
BSE | CMP: Rs 4,492
Despite current market uncertainty, BSE has demonstrated strong resilience relative to the broader market, indicating high relative strength. The stock remains well above key moving averages (12, 26, 50, 100, and 200-week EMAs), supporting its uptrend. Positive momentum is further confirmed by the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 5,165
Stop-Loss: Rs 4,220
HCL Technologies | CMP: Rs 1,865
The Nifty IT sector has shown resilience during the current market correction, with HCLTech displaying a bullish structure on the weekly chart. Since the polarity shift in June 2024, the stock has maintained an upward trajectory, staying firmly above the key 12- and 26-week EMAs. The MACD study, trending higher, reinforces the positive momentum.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 2,126
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,750
Innova Captab | CMP: Rs 961

Jatin Gedia, Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas
Grasim Industries | CMP: Rs 2,503
Grasim Industries has witnessed a decline towards the Rs 2,500 level, where support from the 40-week average is placed. On the daily charts, the stock has formed a Hammer candlestick pattern, which has bullish implications. Positive divergence is visible on the hourly timeframe, suggesting that the selling pressure is declining. Therefore, the stock has a high probability of reversing from current levels and pulling back towards Rs 2,630, where the 20-day average is placed. A stop-loss of Rs 2,470 should be maintained for long positions.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 2,630
Stop-Loss: Rs 2,470
Dr Lal PathLabs | CMP: Rs 2,957
Dr Lal PathLabs has broken down from a Symmetrical Triangle pattern on the daily charts and has now started the next leg of its decline, which could take the stock down to the Rs 2,840 level, near the weekly lower Bollinger Band. A stop-loss of Rs 3,028 should be set for short positions.
Strategy: Sell
Target: Rs 2,840
Stop-Loss: Rs 3,028
Shitij Gandhi, Senior Technical Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities
HDFC Life Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 685
HDFC Life has been trading lower, with the formation of lower highs and lower lows on short-term charts. After a period of consolidation in the range of Rs 700-740, the stock has broken down below its key support zone on broader charts. The negative price action, along with the channel breakdown, suggests further downside potential. Therefore, one can consider short-selling the stock on any rise in the range of Rs 700-705, with an expected downside to Rs 670-665 levels.
Strategy: Sell
Target: Rs 670, Rs 665
Stop-Loss: Rs 725
Granules India | CMP: Rs 532
In recent weeks, Granules India has been consolidating in a broad range of Rs 540-620, with prices facing selling pressure on every rise. Technically, the stock has given a fresh breakdown below the neckline of the Head & Shoulders pattern after a prolonged consolidation phase. Negative divergences on secondary oscillators also support the possibility of further downside in the stock. Therefore, one can short-sell the stock in the range of Rs 540-550, targeting an expected downside to Rs 490-485 levels.
Strategy: Sell
Target: Rs 490, Rs 485
Stop-Loss: Rs 575
