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:
SRF has corrected almost 24 percent from its top made on April 8, 2022 (i.e. Rs 2,773). At current juncture it has formed bullish AB=CD pattern on 4 hours chart with potential reversal zone of Rs 2,100-2,150.
On the indicator front, four hours RSI (relative strength index) has shown impulsive structure below oversold zone of 30 which is indicating that bears are losing steam.
Fresh buy can be initiated at current levels with expected upside till Rs 2,450 with solid support seen at Rs 2,100.
Gujarat Gas is trading in a range of Rs 480-540 since last one month. Currently said counter has tried to break range and tested Rs 555.
On the indicator front, daily RSI and MACD (moving average convergence divergence) are indicating upward momentum but one should wait and watch as of now until it closes above Rs 542 on daily close basis.
If it closes above Rs 542 then upside expected is Rs 620-630 with good support at Rs 500.
As of now, one should avoid this counter. On weekly chart there are lot of overhead resistances at Rs 4,160-4,350 along with bearish divergence seen on weekly MACD (refer chart).
If one is holding this counter, can book some profit at current levels. Fresh buying is not advised.
