Shardul Kulkarni of Angel Broking told CNBC-TV18, "The action is extremely stock specific. We are seeing that Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), after significant fall over the last five trading sessions, is now showing some signs of a pullback. If you see the chart pattern it is a very strong bullish engulfing pattern in a stock which is showing a good strong higher top higher bottom cycle."
He added, "The stock is trading at Rs 850 on Futures contract at this juncture. If it closes here, you will get a confirmation that this is the time to go long on HDFC. You can see the stock back at Rs 890-895. We are seeing similar patterns in case of the Nifty as well as individual stocks. Closing is very important. If HDFC closes at Rs 850 then I would be going long on the stock. Place a stop loss at Rs 835. I would expect target of Rs 885-890 for HDFC." Kulkarni further added, "Similar is the case with Axis Bank. We are seeing a reversal pattern taking place in Axis Bank from an important retracement level. So, probability is that closing here at around Rs 1,420-1,425 will lead Axis to an up move towards Rs 1,460. So, I would look at the closing in case of these two stocks.Discover the latest Business News, Sensex, and Nifty updates.
