Here's what Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Balrampur Chini has been steadily on the rise gaining momentum with improving bias moving past the previous peak zone of Rs 390 levels with breakout indication above the triangular pattern formation on the daily chart. It appears poised for further gains in the coming days.
The RSI (relative strength index) has also indicated a trend reversal and has the potential to rise further in the coming days.
We recommend buying and accumulating this stock with an upside target of Rs 460 and keeping a stop-loss of Rs 380.
The stock has indicated a breakout above the trend line connecting the previous peak zones and a formation of an Inverted Head and Shoulder is visible to signify a bullish formation for the stock. The neckline breakout above Rs 430 levels would trigger for further upward movement with expected targets of Rs 500-520 level.
The near-term support can be kept at Rs 430 zone and with the chart looking attractive and bias turned positive, we anticipate for further rise in the coming days.
The stock has formed a double bottom formation near Rs 218 levels and indicating a bullish candle pattern to improve the bias and anticipating further rise in the coming days.
The RSI is well placed and has shown potential to rise further with near targets of Rs 260 and Rs 270 levels.
With the support maintained near Rs 218-220 levels, one can accumulate the stock and anticipate for further upward move in the next one month’s time frame.
