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:
Nippon Life India Asset Management
The counter has seen massive beating in the recent past as profit booking was seen at high levels. At the current juncture, Nippon has formed Bullish Wolfe wave with reversal zone of Rs 300 levels.
In the recent past, the counter witnessed huge buying with volume picking up near its reversal zone.
One can buy this counter immediately at CMP in small quantity and another tranche at Rs 300 for long term. Upside is seen near Rs 400 with solid support of Rs 285.
ABB India has corrected 19 percent from its previous high of Rs 2,468 two months ago and currently has formed a base above its 200 day exponential moving average (DEMA) on daily chart.
In the previous trading session, the counter reversed from reversal zone of Rs 2,100 levels along with moving average convergence divergence (MACD) positive crossover (four hours chart) near zero line followed by good volume buying.
Therefore, one should add at current levels in small quantity and wait for some dip till Rs 2,100. Upside is expected till Rs 2,400 and solid support is seen at Rs 2,000.
We have a fantastic setup in JK cement, precise bullish deep crab @ 1.9 pattern on daily chart with classic Doji & Inverted Hammer near potential reversal zone of Rs 2,260-2,300 along with 14 period daily relative strength index (RSI) displaying complex behaviour which is a sign of early reversal.
From investor perspective, this are lucrative levels from where one can add in small quantity now and add another tranche at Rs 2,250 levels. Upside is seen till Rs 3,000 levels with Rs 2,050 as a good support.
Though Hindustan Aeronautics looks lucrative at current levels, one should wait because HAL is trading near its previous tops.
Massive resistance is seen at Rs 1,500 and CMP is Rs 1,462 along with volume picking up at higher levels which is an exhaustion sign. As of now wait and watch for HAL.
Just like HAL, Voltas is also facing the same situation. It is trading near its previous tops with multiple resistance with volume picking up at higher levels which is an exhaustion sign. As of now wait and watch for Voltas.
