Here's what Viraj Vyas of Ashika Stock Broking recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
KEC is currently in a secular uptrend, but it tends to undergo significant consolidation phases before experiencing breakouts. The recent price action indicates a consolidation pattern, but what stands out is the above-average volumes accompanying it. This suggests strong participation and interest in the stock.
Based on the analysis, it is expected that KEC will move towards the price range of Rs 650-675 levels. Additionally, the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 550-level can serve as a reliable trend filter, providing support and indicating the stock's overall bullish momentum.
After a period of time and price correction since its listing, the stock experienced a significant breakthrough when it surpassed the IPO base level at Rs 180. Since then, the stock has displayed a consistent upward trajectory. Although being a small-cap stock, it has undergone several consolidation phases, but each move has ultimately resulted in a sharp rally.
The recent price action indicates a breakout above the 200 percent extension of the IPO base range (Rs 182-79). Such breakouts often lead to strong and intense rallies. However, it is important to note that the stock may encounter resistance in the range of Rs 350-360 levels.
At present, it is advisable to ride the current trend rather than initiating fresh positions. It is also recommended to maintain a trailing stop-loss at around the Rs 300-level to protect against any potential downside risks.
The stock has witnessed a remarkable surge from its COVID-19 lows, and from October 2021 onwards, it has undergone a consolidation phase both in terms of time and price for approximately 88 weeks. The recent breakout from this consolidation is highly significant as it could signal the start of a strong impulsive move in the stock.
In the near term, the stock is expected to move towards Rs 8,500 levels, indicating a potential bullish momentum. Looking ahead, over the course of a year, a longer-term target of Rs 10,000 is anticipated.
It is important to note that the stock has critical support at Rs 7,300-level, which should be closely monitored.
Given the stock's impressive run-up and the recent breakout from the consolidation phase, the outlook remains positive. However, it is advisable to keep track of critical support levels and closely monitor any potential changes in the stock's performance.
