Here's what Jigar S Patel of Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Though the said counter looks lucrative at current levels, but one needs to pay attention on weekly chart since breakout is not clean as of now.
Already having position then one should book partial profits. If considering fresh buying then wait for counter to close above Rs 460 on weekly closing basis. Till then wait and watch.
Since last couple of months Indo Tech has been trading in a range of Rs 200-240, at current juncture it has given clean breakout from mentioned range with massive volume following it.
On indicator front MACD (Moving average convergence divergence) daily has given bullish crossover near zero along with daily RSI (relative strength index) bouncing back from 50 and currently placed at 70 indicating strength in the counter.
Britannia has corrected almost 25 percent from its high of Rs 4,153 (made on September 2021). On weekly chart it has formed bullish AB=CD pattern with PRZ (potential reversal) zone of Rs 3,100-3,150.
Also near PRZ it has consolidated for some time. One can buy this counter immediately with potential upside possible Rs 3,800 with plausible support of Rs 3,100-3,150.
What a fantastic setup we are having in RAIN, precise Bullish Butterfly pattern on daily chart with pair of spinning bottom near potential reversal zone of Rs 165-170.
On daily time frame, RSI is displaying impulsive behaviour near oversold zone of 30 along with volume is picking up near PRZ. From investor perspective, these are lucrative levels from where one can add in small quantity and add another tranche at Rs 165 levels.
Upside is seen till Rs 200-210 levels with Rs 155 as a good support.
