RailTel Corporation of India | CMP: Rs 497
RailTel is in a healthy intermediate uptrend. After a recent correction, the stock has bounced from the 20-week SMA and cleared its nearby resistances with above-average volumes. Momentum readings, such as the 14-day RSI, are also in a rising mode, which bodes well for the continuation of the uptrend.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 550
Stop-Loss: Rs 465
Apar Industries | CMP: Rs 8,950
Apar Industries has been consolidating in a range for the last few weeks. Last week, the stock bounced back from the 50-day SMA with above-average volumes, indicating rising interest in the stock. Momentum readings, such as the 14-day RSI, have also bounced back from oversold levels, which augurs well for the uptrend to continue.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 9,600
Stop-Loss: Rs 8,400
Radico Khaitan | CMP: Rs 1,844.5
Radico Khaitan is in a healthy intermediate uptrend. After correcting and consolidating over the last few weeks above the 50-week SMA, this week saw the Radico stock breaking out of its recent range and closing at a new life high on a weekly closing basis. The breakout was accompanied by healthy volumes. Technical indicators are also giving positive signals as the stock trades above the 20 and 50-week SMAs. With the 14-week RSI in rising mode and above its 9-week EMA, we expect the stock to head higher in the coming sessions.

Apollo Tyres | CMP: Rs 508.6
Apollo Tyres has recently experienced a notable decrease from its peak of Rs 568 to approximately the 200-day SMA on the daily timeframe chart. Historically, this level has served as a reliable support, sparking a strong rebound in the stock. The stock has started gaining traction in the last couple of trading sessions, aligning with the historical view. From a technical perspective, the indicators have rebounded from oversold conditions and have displayed a positive crossover, signaling a bullish trend in the stock. Hence, we recommend buying Apollo Tyres around Rs 505-500.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 550
Stop-Loss: Rs 475
Axis Bank | CMP: Rs 1,166
Axis Bank witnessed a steep correction from the peak of Rs 1,340 and has retracted to 61.80 percent of the recent rally. The recent correction brought the counter towards a multi-layer support zone, starting from the historical consolidation to the 200-day SMA on the daily structure. Both supports constitute a strong base and provide an opportunity to accumulate the counter from a short to medium-term view. Additionally, on the oscillator front, MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) signals a reversal move, suggesting a potential upside journey for the counter. Hence, we recommend buying Axis Bank around Rs 1,160-1,150.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,260
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,110
The Indian Hotels Company | CMP: Rs 641.90
Indian Hotels has seen a substantial increase in price over the last couple of trading sessions and is comfortably hovering above a cluster of its major EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). Additionally, the counter is on the verge of a "Symmetrical Triangle" pattern breakout on the daily structure chart, suggesting a potential breakout in the near future. On the oscillator front, most indicators are strongly aligned with the uptrend, adding a bullish outlook and suggesting a potential upside journey in the near term. Hence, we recommend buying Indian Hotels around Rs 640-630.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 720
Stop-Loss: Rs 600
Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager - Equity Research at Anand Rathi
IndusInd Bank | CMP: Rs 1,388.55
IndusInd Bank has recently established a strong base around the support zone of Rs 1,330-1,350, which is a key area of interest for traders. This support zone is significant because it coincides with the completion of a bullish AB=CD pattern, a popular harmonic pattern that often signals a potential reversal or continuation of an uptrend. The bullish AB=CD pattern indicates that the stock may have reached a point of exhaustion in its downward movement, making it a favourable area for buyers to step in.
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has broken above its bearish trendline, a development that is considered bullish. The RSI is a momentum indicator, and its breakout from a downward trendline suggests a shift in momentum from bearish to bullish, increasing the likelihood of upward price movement. Given these technical factors, a long position is advised within the Rs 1,370-1,390 price range, targeting an upside of Rs 1,470. To manage risk, a stop-loss should be set near Rs 1,335 on a daily closing basis.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,470
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,335
