Bajaj Finance | CMP: Rs 8,705.4
Bajaj Finance has broken out from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart, signaling bullish sentiment. The price is consolidating above the breakout level, indicating strong momentum. Increasing trading volume and the formation of higher highs and higher lows further confirm the uptrend.

To manage risk, traders should set a stop-loss at Rs 8,200. If the momentum sustains, short-term targets of Rs 10,000 and Rs 10,200 could be achieved.

To minimize risks, a stop-loss at Rs 216 is advisable to safeguard against unexpected reversals.
