We have selected three stocks, which outpaced the broader markets on February 3, for trade spotlight.

Mahindra Lifespace Developers closed 9 percent higher at Rs 380, which was above its 50 exponential moving average (EMA) of Rs 370, which can act as support in the near term. It formed a long bullish candle on the daily charts with strong volumes.

Here's what Rajesh Palviya of Axis Securities recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
On the daily and weekly time frame, the stock is trending up, forming a series of higher tops and bottoms, indicating a bullish trend. The stock is well placed above its 20, 50, 100 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), which reconfirms bullish sentiment.
On the weekly line chart, the stock confirmed "rounding bottom" formation at Rs 2,610. The rally was accompanied by rising volumes which denote increased participation. The daily, weekly and monthly strength indicator relative strength index (RSI) is in positive terrain, which signals rising strength across all the time frames.
Investors should buy, hold and accumulate this stock with an expected upside of Rs 2,740-2,830, with a downside support zone of Rs 2,450-2,340.

Since September 2022, the stock has been in a downtrend, forming a series of lower top and bottoms but in the past couple of months, the stock is consolidating near multiple support zones of Rs 340.
With the action of the past couple of weeks, the stock has formed an "engulfing bullish" candle, a short-term trend reversal, however, a follow-up close above Rs 385 will confirm the pattern. Rising volumes near the support zone signal increased participation.
Investors should buy, hold and accumulate the stock with an expected upside of Rs 420-440, with support at Rs 340-330.

On the daily time frame, the stock saw a trend reversal, forming higher top and bottom that indicate positive bias. With a gain of 7 percent on February 7, the stock has also confirmed a "downsloping trendline" breakout at Rs 1,920 along with huge volumes, indicating increased participation.
