Hindustan Zinc | CMP: Rs 461.9

Hindustan Zinc has been experiencing a significant downturn over the past couple of trading months. However, the stock has reversed its trend with the strong formation of the ‘Inverted Head & Shoulders’ pattern on the daily time frame chart. It has surged above the 20-DEMA, 50-DEMA, and 100-DEMA in recent times, being backed by a rise in volumes, indicating a potential resurgence. Additionally, weekly indicators suggest a counter-trend, making this a suitable investment opportunity in the near future. Hence, we recommend buying Hindustan Zinc around Rs 455-450.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 495, Rs 500

Stop-Loss: Rs 430

Ramco Cements | CMP: Rs 896.75

Ramco Cements has seen a decent recovery after a phase of consolidation and is now placed above the short-term EMAs and the 200 DSMA on the daily chart. The recent buying traction has been backed by a rise in trading volumes, attributing to positive developments in the counter. Additionally, the counter is comfortably placed above the SuperTrend indicator, adding to the bullish quotient. Simultaneously, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is about to surpass the Zero line from lower levels, suggesting potential momentum in the near future. Hence, we recommend buying Ramco Cements around Rs 890-880.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 960, Rs 980

Stop-Loss: Rs 840

HDFC Life Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 685.7

HDFC Life is maintaining strong bullish momentum, with an upside target of Rs 720-740. The stock is trending above key moving averages, with the 10-day EMA (Rs 653) acting as dynamic support. RSI at 70.42 signals strength but is nearing overbought territory, suggesting potential consolidation before further upside. ADX (Average Directional Index) at 26.80 confirms a strengthening trend, while the MACD histogram remains positive, reinforcing bullish sentiment.

Options activity and volume trends indicate sustained accumulation. A breakout above Rs 720 could lead to further gains, while Rs 650 remains a crucial support level. A close below Rs 650 would negate the bullish outlook, potentially triggering a pullback. The broader setup favors a buy-on-dips strategy, with momentum intact as long as the stock sustains above key levels.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 720, Rs 740

Stop-Loss: Rs 650

Allied Blenders and Distillers | CMP: Rs 306.2

Allied Blenders is exhibiting signs of a potential reversal, with a strong support zone at Rs 292-Rs 285, where the stock has historically rebounded, indicating robust demand at lower levels. RSI is near the oversold territory, with a prior bullish divergence, suggesting a possible recovery. ADX indicates strengthening trend potential, with rising buying pressure; a positive DI crossover could confirm an uptrend. Previous buy signals from similar levels led to significant rallies, reinforcing the bullish case. The MACD histogram is improving, signaling weakening bearish momentum despite a negative MACD crossover.

With a target of Rs 360-Rs 380, aligning with historical resistance zones, a reversal appears likely. A sustained hold above support could trigger an upside move, favouring a buy-on-dips strategy for traders.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 360, Rs 380

Stop-Loss: Rs 275
