Here's what Mehul Kothari of Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Indian Hotels is in a secular uptrend post its breakout from the odd zone of Rs 160, even on a daily time frame, the stock is hovering near its short-term exponential moving average, indicating inherent strength in the counter.
The stock has also reversed from the lower band of the Bollinger band (20, 2) and has headed strong towards the mean suggesting strong demand at lower zone.
Hence, from the medium-term perspective, the stock is expected to reclaim its life-time high. However, looking at the volatility, some whipsaw movement should not be ruled out in the near term.
