Here's what Jigar S Patel of Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
MCX has been making lower highs and lower lows since last 5 months or so due to continuous selling pressure at higher levels. At current stage, the counter has formed bullish butterfly pattern with potential reversal zone of Rs 1,260-1,270 levels. In last trading session, MCX has bounced back from PRZ (potential reversal zone) with good volume picking up which is an early sign of reversal.
On indicator front 14 period daily RSI (relative strength index) is displaying impulsive behaviour which is looking very lucrative at current levels.
So from investor’s perspective one can buy in small tranche at current levels and another tranche around Rs 1,265 levels with target of Rs 1,700 with plausible support seen at Rs 1,200
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electrical
Crompton Greaves Consumer has corrected 31 percent approximately from its previous high of Rs 513 since last 5 months and is currently placed well below its 200 DEMA (day exponential moving average) on daily chart.

Therefore, from investor viewpoint one should add at current levels in small quantity and wait for some dip till Rs 380. Upside is expected till Rs 510 and solid support is seen at Rs 350.
HDFC Life appears to be making lower highs and lower lows since August 2021. The best thing about this setup is that on weekly chart, the counter has respected 0.618 golden ratio of previous rally which got terminated on August 2021.

Though, the best buying opportunity is available at two different levels i.e. Rs 560 and Rs 540. Expected upper side is Rs 666 with support of Rs 510.
