Here's what Rajesh Palviya of Axis Securities, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
The stock has decisively broken out its 14-year 'multiple resistance' zone of Rs 130-132 on a weekly closing basis, indicating major breakout. This is accompanied by huge volumes which implies increased participation at breakout zones.
Daily, weekly band Bollinger buy signals increased the momentum. The daily, weekly and monthly strength indicator RSI (relative strength index) is in a bullish mode along with positive crossover which supports rising strength. This buying momentum was observed from its 200-day SMA (Rs 105) which remains a crucial support zone.
The stock is well placed above its 20, 50 and 100-day SMA which reconfirms short term as well as medium term bullish sentiments. Investors should buy, hold and accumulate this stock with an expected upside of Rs 165-180, with downside support zone of Rs 120-105 levels.
On the weekly as well as monthly chart, the stock is in strong uptrend forming a series of higher tops and bottoms signalling sustained up trend.
