Latent View Analytics | CMP: Rs 534.5

For many months, Latent View Analytics has been consolidating above the placement of its 200 DEMA (Exponential Moving Average). As a result, we are witnessing multiple bottoms at lower levels, which indicates that the downside is limited. Recently, the stock confirmed a breakout above Rs 567, followed by a pullback. The risk-reward looks lucrative to go long. Thus, we advise traders to buy Latent View Analytics near Rs 530 with a stop-loss of Rs 490 for a target of Rs 610 in the coming months.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 610

Stop-Loss: Rs 490

Chennai Petroleum Corporation | CMP: Rs 1,030

Most petroleum stocks underwent a sharp rally during the first half of July 2024. Then we witnessed some profit booking. As a result, Chennai Petroleum has retraced over 50 percent of the recent rally and now we are witnessing a reversal candlestick pattern on the daily scale. Thus, we advise traders to go long in the stock in the range of Rs 1,030 – 1,010 for a target of Rs 1,250 in the coming months.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 1,250

Stop-Loss: Rs 900

IndiaMART InterMESH | CMP: Rs 2,856

Similar to Latent View, IndiaMART InterMESH confirmed a fresh range breakout above Rs 2,880 during the last week. Afterward, the stock retraced the previous rally and turned from the short-term moving average. The theoretical target for the range breakout is quite higher, and hence the fall could be a buying opportunity. We advise traders to go long in the stock near Rs 2,850 for a target of Rs 3,250 in the coming months.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 3,250

Stop-Loss: Rs 2,650

Hindustan Unilever | CMP: Rs 2,735.3

HUL has taken off its previous swing high of Rs 2,724 and has seen significant short covering from the lower end, followed by good long built up as well. The momentum indicator MACD is well in the buy mode on the daily as well as weekly chart, indicating that the short-term trend is positive. Since the stock has provided a breakout from the symmetrical triangular pattern, a good directional move is expected on the upside. Generally, July and August are good months for FMCG stocks, so it’s likely to perform positively.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 2,830, Rs 2,900

Stop-Loss: Rs 2,640

Mphasis | CMP: Rs 2,926

Mphasis has been forming higher tops and higher bottoms on the weekly charts. It has recently taken off its crucial resistance of Rs 2,850, and now above these levels, there is no major hurdle until Rs 3,150, and above that Rs 3,400 looks likely. The stock had also risen in an impulsive wave from Rs 1,660 to Rs 2,838 levels, and now with this breakout, another impulse wave seems to have started on the upside. The stock has also witnessed good long built up in the short term, and the entire sector has seen a good reversal from the lower levels except for Wipro so far, which has delivered poor performance.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 3,150, Rs 3,400

Stop-Loss: Rs 2,825
