Here's what Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
The stock has overall maintained an ascending channel pattern in the long term time frame to indicate a strong trend, whereas recently it has witnessed a slide to move below the 200-DMA (day moving average) level of Rs 2,555 to indicate some weakness in the shorter time frame with major trendline support near Rs 2,450 levels.
We anticipate the stock to indicate a trend reversal near the lower zone of the channel pattern and move further upward to continue the normal trend. The upside target expected is Rs 2,800 with the stop-loss maintained near Rs 2,450 levels.
The stock after the decent correction from Rs 132 zone has stabilized near Rs 66 zone and indicated a pullback to regain strength with currently after the short correction has shown a pair of bullish candles moving past the significant 50-EMA (day exponential moving average) level of Rs 75 to improve the bias and further upward move is anticipated.
A decisive breach above the resistance zone of Rs 81-82 levels would further strengthen the trend with next upside targets visible near Rs 98-99 zone.
With the RSI also indicating a trend reversal from the oversold, we suggest to buy and accumulate the stock for an upside target of Rs 99 keeping the stop-loss of Rs 70.
The stock after witnessing a steep correction has taken support near Rs 205 zone and indicated a decent recovery moving past the significant 200-DMA level of Rs 219 to improve the bias and further rise is expected.
The RSI has reversed from the highly oversold zone picking up momentum and is on the rise to indicate strength and has potential to carry on the momentum still further.
We suggest to buy and accumulate the stock for an upside target of Rs 277 keeping a stop-loss at Rs 205 levels.
