Equity benchmarks bounced back smartly, rising more than half a percent after the correction seen in previous three sessions. The market breadth also turned positive, as about 1,746 shares gained against 1,081 declining shares on the NSE. The market is expected to gain further strength if the benchmarks reclaim the 20-day SMA. Below are some short-term trading ideas to consider:

The RSI above 60 reinforces strengthening momentum without signs of exhaustion. With this structural breakout and trend alignment, the stock opens room toward Rs 2,120, while Rs 1,860 acts as the key support protecting the bullish bias.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 2,120
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,860
Century Plyboards (India) | CMP: Rs 839.90

Grasim Industries | CMP: Rs 2,797.8
Grasim Industries is approaching a crucial bullish inflection zone as the stock edges toward its neckline resistance near the Rs 2,820–2,840 band after forming a well-defined rounded-base structure over the last several weeks. This basing pattern reflects steady accumulation after a corrective phase, with price stabilising above the 200-DEMA, indicating strong underlying trend support.
The stock recently rebounded sharply from its short-term floor, showing a shift in momentum as it attempts to retest the neckline resistance. Notably, the stock is also positioned just below an unfilled gap zone, increasing the probability of a gap-fill move on any sustained breakout above the neckline.
