    Here's what Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:

    Rail Vikas Nigam

    The stock has given a decent spurt in the last 4 months racing from Rs 31 level to touch the peak level of Rs 84 gaining almost 175 percent and after a short correction has taken support near the significant 50-day EMA (exponential moving average) level of Rs 60 and indicated a decent pullback to improve the bias.

    We suggest to hold the stock with further positive move anticipated till the previous peak zone of Rs 84 level which is the resistance zone as of now and one can expect the target in the coming days in anticipation of any positive announcements in the Union Budget.

    A decisive breach above Rs 84 zone can trigger for fresh further upward move with target of Rs 96 anticipated. The near term support or stop-loss can be kept near Rs 66 level.

    Max Financial Services

    The stock has witnessed a decent correction in the last 2-3 months slipping from Rs 850 zone and has bottomed out near Rs 625 level to witness a decent pullback to improve the bias.

    Currently once again after a short dip recovered moving past the significantly 50-day EMA level of Rs 700 has shown a trend reversal with a positive bullish candle.

    One can hold the position with immense upside potential visible with initial target of Rs 765 which is where the important 200 DMA (daily moving average) lies. The near term support can be kept at Rs 665 level with risk reward favourable with probability of upside movement much higher.

    HDFC Life Insurance Company

    The stock has indicated a big bullish candle on the daily chart with decent volume participation and has given a trendline breakout near Rs 590 level with improvement in the trend.

    Further rise is anticipated with next targets of Rs 645-680 and Rs 740 level with also the indicators showing positive bias supporting our view. One can hold the stock with near term support zone maintained near Rs 565 level.
