Here's what Vidnyan Sawant of GEPL Capital recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
KEI is trading near record high, maintaining strong momentum while forming higher tops, higher bottoms and following a bullish trendline.
The stock gave a breakout of the rounding bottom pattern in the previous session, indicating a continuation of the uptrend.
The stock also changes its polarity around the level of Rs 1,375, which confirms the uptrend.
It has come out of a broader range with the expansion of the Bollinger band, indicating rising volatility.
Directional movement index (DMI), plotted on the daily timeframe observed a positive crossover and ADX (average directional index) here being above 25 with a rising slope shows the tendency of the counter to trend.
Traders and investors should buy the stock for the target of Rs 1,820, with a strict stop-loss of Rs 1,450 on the closing basis.
The broader picture shows that the stock has been an underperformer with no clear trend since March 2020 lows.
In the latest trading session, it gave a breakout of the rounding bottom pattern, which indicates beginning of an up move.
The stock has an immediate resistance at around Rs 45, which was created by a gap that was accompanied by high volumes on October 2021.
Prices are trading above the prior swing high of Rs 41.65 (September 20, 2022), while the relative strength index (RSI) is still below the swing high, which does not confirm the intact up move.
Looking at the underperformance of the stock, we recommend traders and investors to exit the stock at every rise. The level of Rs 37–35 is the crucial support zone, which may act as a stop-loss.
After October 2021, BHEL has started to rise after retracing the 61.8 percent Fibonacci level of prior advance from Rs 18.40 (March 2020) till Rs 80.35 (October 2021).
The stock broke out from the rectangle pattern on August 29, 2022, indicating the continuation of the uptrend.
The stock has started to get into its higher high, higher low formation while sustaining above its variable support of 18 and 36-day exponential moving average (EMA).
The ratio charts versus the Nifty are placed orderly and indicate that the stock can continue its outperformance.
Traders and investors should buy the stock for the target of Rs 80.35 (52-week high), where a stop-loss of Rs 65 must strictly be implemented on a closing basis.
