Here's what Foram Chheda of ChartAnalytics recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading on Monday:
In March, Bajaj Finance exhibited a minor double bottom pattern around Rs 5,550-5,600 levels, prompting a rebound. The stock surpassed both 50-day and 200-day moving averages (MA), signaling a bullish trend. After a brief pause at Rs 7,900 levels in July, it experienced a correction, finding support near the 100-day moving average before resuming the upward trajectory.
Following several attempts, the stock broke through the defined resistance level, closing at a 52-week high with increased volume, confirming bullish momentum.
Investors are advised to maintain their positions, anticipating a potential target near Rs 8,650 levels. However, caution should be exercised if the price dips below Rs 7,850, signaling a prudent exit strategy.
Until July, PCBL's stock price followed an uptrend, reaching a peak at Rs 178 levels before declining. Finding support near the 50-day MA, it consolidated within a narrow range for about a month. After retesting the previous peak and failing to break out, a retracement occurred, leading to a broad consolidation.
Recently, the stock broke out from this consolidation, accompanied by a significant increase in volume, affirming bullish sentiment. The PSAR (parabolic stop and reverse) indicator remains in a buy mode.
Investors are advised to maintain their holdings, anticipating a higher target around Rs 220-225 levels. However, caution is advised if the price falls below Rs 180 levels, suggesting a prudent profit-booking strategy.
In May, MCX' stock price surged above key moving averages (50-day, 100-day, and 200-day MA) around Rs 1,430-1,450 levels, establishing a robust uptrend. The stock consistently formed higher highs and higher lows, confirming its upward trajectory. Recently, there was a significant uptick from Rs 1,702 to Rs 2,139, followed by a 50 percent retracement based on Fibonacci levels.
Currently, the stock is displaying signs of resuming the upward movement, accompanied by increased trading volume, bolstering the bullish trend. The PSAR indicator also indicates a buy signal. Investors might consider purchasing the stock around Rs 1,980 levels, targeting a higher range near Rs 2,200, while maintaining a stop-loss below Rs 1,910 levels.
