Sammaan Capital | CMP: Rs 143.21

Sammaan Capital has shown impressive strength since the beginning of September and, in the latest week, has confirmed a bullish reversal breakout from an Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern. This breakout is well-supported by robust volumes and a strong bullish candlestick formation, adding conviction to the move. Further, a bullish crossover between the 89-DMA and 200-DMA has been observed, reinforcing the positive momentum and suggesting the potential for sustained upside in the near term.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 160
Stop-Loss: Rs 135
Phoenix Mills | CMP: Rs 1,629.8

After marking an all-time high near Rs 2,050 levels in July last year, Phoenix Mills consolidated within a broad descending triangle pattern. Over the past year, the stock repeatedly faced resistance along the descending trendline, but has now successfully broken out on the upside, indicating a strong reversal.
Adding to this, the daily chart also highlights a Cup and Handle bullish breakout, with prices moving decisively above the 200-day SMA. With this confluence of bullish patterns and key technical confirmations, we anticipate a robust upside in the stock, turning the overall outlook strongly positive.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,710
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,588
Great Eastern Shipping Company | CMP: Rs 1,054.4

On the weekly chart, Great Eastern Shipping Company has confirmed a Cup and Handle bullish reversal breakout, supported by strong volumes and a robust bullish candlestick formation. On the momentum front, the weekly RSI (Relative Strength Index) smoothed indicator has moved past the 60 level, signaling a pickup in positive momentum and strengthening prospects of further upside in the near term.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,175
Stop-Loss: Rs 990

AGI Infra | CMP: Rs 1,176.4

AGI Infra rallied 14% in just 5 sessions, forming a strong pole followed by 23 days of consolidation, shaping a bullish flag on the daily charts. This structure has now completed a textbook pole-and-flag formation. A breakout above the Rs 1,195–1,205 zone will confirm strength and likely propel the stock toward Rs 1,450 levels.
Volumes during the pole were high, while consolidation saw dried-up volumes, which is an ideal flag characteristic. A strong volume breakout above resistance will be key for momentum. With indicators cooled off during consolidation, AGI Infra is well-positioned for an impulsive upmove once the breakout materializes.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,450
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,120
Venus Pipes and Tubes | CMP: Rs 1,396.2

Venus Pipes is forming a 33-day Cup and Handle pattern, indicating potential momentum buildup in the sector, as other pipe companies are also showing strength. The stock is resting on its short-term moving averages (10 and 20), both of which have turned bullish and can act as a propeller for further upside. A breakout above Rs 1,405 with strong volumes will confirm the pattern and open the way for an immediate rally toward Rs 1,600 levels. Structure, moving averages, and sectoral momentum remain aligned for a bullish move, making Venus Pipes an interesting candidate on breakout.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,600
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,300
DCX Systems | CMP: Rs 279.3

DCX India, after posting strong earnings and a bullish gap-up, has been consolidating for 42 days while forming a Cup and Handle pattern. The volume behaviour is ideal, with higher volumes on up moves and dried-up volumes during consolidation, indicating accumulation. The stock is currently testing the neckline of the pattern, and a sustained move above Rs 284 will invite momentum buying. A close above Rs 290 will confirm a decisive breakout and set the stage for a strong rally ahead. With consolidation almost complete, price action and structure favour an imminent bullish breakout.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 340
Stop-Loss: Rs 260
