Here's what Rajesh Palviya of Axis Securities, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Since the past couple of months, the stock has been consolidating within a broad range from Rs 470-410 levels. This consolidation has resulted in an inverse "Head and Shoulder" - a short-term trend reversal formation.
With the current close, the stock has decisively broken out the neckline of Rs 467 levels on a closing basis. This breakout is accompanied by huge volumes which signal increased participation in the rally. This buying was observed from its 20, 50, and 100-day SMA (simple moving average) support zone which reconfirm bullish sentiments.
Investors should buy, hold and accumulate this stock with an expected upside of Rs 500-515, with a downside support zone of Rs 460-450 levels.
The short-term trend for the stock remains down, however, since the past couple of weeks the stock continues to hold its crucial support zone of Rs 1,800 levels.
With the current close, this stock has sharply rebounded with huge volume indicating short covering at lower levels. The stock is still sustaining below its 20, 50, and 100-day SMA, indicating bearish sentiment.
The daily strength indicator RSI (relative strength index) has turned bullish along with a positive crossover indicating a bounce-back rally. Hence any short-term pullback rally towards Rs 1,950-2,000 levels remains as an exit opportunity for traders. On the downside, Rs 1,785-1,750 may act as a crucial support zone.
The stock is in a strong uptrend across all the time frames forming a series of higher Tops and higher Bottoms indicating bullish sentiments. With the current close, the stock has decisively broken out its five-month resistance zone of Rs 297 levels indicating strength ahead.
