Prestige Estates Projects | CMP: Rs 1,198.5
After a decline from higher levels, Prestige Estates Projects has rebounded from its support zone on both the daily and weekly charts. Moreover, a sloping trendline breakout has occurred along with decent volume activity. The counter is witnessing a steady recovery from lower levels. This up move suggests a new leg of the bullish trend in the near term.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,280
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,155
Tata Communications | CMP: Rs 1,591
Following a sharp uptrend, Tata Communications experienced some selling pressure. However, the downward momentum has paused and the stock has found support. On the daily chart, a Cup and Handle formation has emerged, and a fresh breakout from the resistance zone is very likely in the coming trading sessions.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,700
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,530
Bank of Baroda | CMP: Rs 235
After a remarkable up move, Bank of Baroda has been consolidating over the last few sessions. This range-bound structure suggests a bullish continuation chart pattern. Furthermore, the stock comfortably closed above its short-term moving average. Therefore, it is likely to resume its uptrend from the current levels in the near future.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 250
Stop-Loss: Rs 225

Jagran Prakashan | CMP: Rs 72.9
Jagran Prakashan is in a healthy short-term uptrend. After a recent correction, the stock bounced from around Rs 66 levels, where it also formed a double bottom. This week, it managed to cross its previous swing high of Rs 72 on the back of above-average volumes and also closed above key moving averages. Momentum indicators like the 14-day RSI are also rising, which supports the continuation of the uptrend.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 78
Stop-Loss: Rs Rs 70
BHEL | CMP: Rs 221.8
Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) is in a healthy uptrend and has recently bounced from the 50-day SMA. On Tuesday, the stock also closed above its recent swing highs on the back of healthy volumes. Momentum readings such as the 14-day RSI are rising, which bodes well for the continuation of the uptrend.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 240
Stop-Loss: Rs Rs 210
FSN E-Commerce Ventures | CMP: Rs 185.86
Nykaa is in a short-term uptrend, forming higher tops and higher bottoms over the past few weeks. Last week, the stock bounced from the 20-day SMA and on Tuesday crossed its previous swing high with above-average volumes. The 14-day RSI is also rising and is above its 9-day EMA, indicating strengthening momentum.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 196
Stop-Loss: Rs 177

HDFC Life Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 704.7
Since the beginning of March 2025, HDFC Life has been steadily rising, forming higher highs and higher lows. Each decline in this upward trend toward the Ichimoku cloud's base line (red) has provided a buying opportunity, with prices consistently reversing from that level—most recently as well. Support, based on this indicator, is around Rs 660. As long as prices stay above this level, the medium-term trend is likely to remain positive. A break above Rs 710 can lift prices higher toward Rs 738, followed by Rs 767, as long as Rs 682 remains protected on the downside.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 738, Rs 767
Stop-Loss: Rs 682
PB Fintech | CMP: Rs 1,619.6
For the past two trading sessions, PB Fintech has managed to protect its prior day's low on a closing basis, which indicates increasing bullishness. On the daily chart, the 5-day EMA has crossed above the 13-day EMA— a bullish crossover that suggests the short-term bias has turned positive. Additionally, the recent rise has retraced more than 23.6% of the prior fall that began in January 2025.
A retracement to 38.2% is expected, which corresponds to Rs 1,667 and is close to the previous swing high of Rs 1,700. In summary, the trend appears to have shifted in favour of the bulls. A break above Rs 1,630 is essential for the uptrend to extend toward Rs 1,700, followed by Rs 1,755. On the downside, Rs 1,565 is the nearest support level to watch.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,700, Rs 1,755
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,565
Paradeep Phosphates | CMP: Rs 133
Paradeep Phosphates had been forming a rounding bottom since January 2025 on the daily timeframe. In the previous session, the stock finally gave a breakout by closing above the neckline at Rs 130.50, confirming the pattern's breakout. The ADX (Average Directional Index), which indicates trend strength, is now reading 37, suggesting strong momentum is likely to continue.
Given the sharp rise in the previous session, a "buy on dips" strategy appears prudent to ride the trend effectively. In summary, the trend for Paradeep Phosphates remains bullish. Use dips toward Rs 130–132 as a buying opportunity for a move toward Rs 143, as long as Rs 128 holds on the downside.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 143
Stop-Loss: Rs 128
