“Market performance in the second half will depend more on the smoothness of GST implementations locally for July and more importantly on ECB & US Fed actions or lack thereof in September,” Rishi Kohli, MD & CIO, Monsoon Capital told Moneycontrol.

“Currently markets world over are in a bullish phase where all bad news are being overlooked and good news are bought into. It is difficult to see any particular trigger which will reverse that mood of the markets,” he said.

The Nifty too has been in an uptrend amid some consolidation in the month of June. But, Bulls managed to take over D-Street in the month if July. The index has maintained a higher low formation for eighth consecutive sessions reflecting persistent demand at elevated levels.

The resolute breakout from one-month consolidation range above 9,710 has opened the room for an extension of current up move towards 9,970 regions over the short term, suggest experts.

Structurally, the index has concluded a healthy corrective phase over the last month within the larger degree uptrend. “While the Nifty formed a higher base around key support of 9500-9450 zone, individual stocks witnessed sharper price wise correction to the tune of over 20 percent,” Dharmesh Shah – Head Technical, AVP at ICICI Direct.com Research told Moneycontrol.

Here is a list of top 8 stocks which could give up to 23% return in the next 6 months:

Analyst: Dharmesh Shah – Head Technical, AVP at ICICI Direct.com Research

SBI: BUY CMP – 287| Target – 325| Stop Loss – 268| Upside – 13%| Time Frame 6 months

The share price remains in a medium term uptrend consistently forming rising peaks and troughs on the weekly scale since bottoming out in early 2016. Within this uptrend, the stock has undergone periodic phases of consolidation that have provided fresh entry opportunities.

In the present scenario, we believe the stock has concluded a healthy corrective phase over the last two months and provides fresh entry opportunity to ride the next up move within the prevailing uptrend.

The stock has witnessed a strong rebound after taking support at the major value area of Rs 270 which is the confluence of lower band of the rising channel containing the entire price action since November 2016 and the long term rising 52-week moving average that has acted as strong support in the entire up move since 2016.

We believe the stock has concluded a healthy corrective phase and is set to embark upon its next major up move towards Rs325 over the medium term as it is the upper band of the rising channel in place since November 2016 which also coincides with the 123.6% retracement of the previous decline from Rs315 to Rs270.

Mahanagar Gas: BUY| CMP – 1002| Target – 1120| Stop Loss – 940| Upside – 12%| Time Frame 6 months

The share price of Mahanagar Gas is in a strong uptrend forming a higher peak and higher trough in all time frame. After hitting a life high of |1055 in April 2017, the stock has entered into a secondary consolidation phase to work off the overbought conditions developed after the strong up move in March-April 2017.

The entire consolidation over last three months has occurred above the rising 50-days moving average that has acted as strong support for the share price over the last two years. Price wise the stock has retraced its preceding two months up move (844 to 1055) by 61.8% while time wise it has consumed almost three months in the current consolidation.

Limited price wise correction and extended time-wise consolidation highlights the overall robust price structure and augurs well for the stock going forward.

We believe the secondary consolidation phase is approaching maturity and the stock provides a good entry opportunity with favorable risk/reward to ride the next up move within the larger degree uptrend.

Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri: BUY| CMP-92| Target – 112| Stop Loss – 82 | Upside –22% Time Frame 6 months

The share price of TBZ embarked upon a sustainable uptrend after bottoming out in the first quarter of CY16. Thereafter, the stock has maintained a rising trajectory by moving in a higher top, higher bottom formation signalling a steady uptrend.

The sideways consolidation over last two months has taken the pictorial shape of a bullish Pennant formation which is a bullish continuation pattern comprising narrow consolidation in a contracting range as bulls take a breather after a strong advance to gather steam before continuance of the up move.

We believe the stock is well placed to continue its upward trend over the coming months and, therefore, offers good entry opportunity with the favourable risk-reward setup. We expect the stock to head towards Rs112 regions over the medium term as it is the measuring implication of the two-month consolidation range

Gateway Distriparks: BUY | CMP-275 | Target – 338 | Stop Loss – 257| Upside – 23% Time Frame 6 months

The share price of Gateway Distriparks is emerging out of 30 months corrective phase. The prolonged correction has the underpinning characteristics of a secondary correction within the larger uptrend.

The stock consumed 30 months to retrace 61.8% of the previous 16 months up move from Rs 102 to Rs458. Limited price wise correction and extended time-wise consolidation highlight the underlying strength of the trend.

The entire decline since March 2015 has occurred in a well-defined falling channel marking the lower highs and lower lows. The strong up move in the current week has seen the stock post a resolute breakout past the upper band of the falling channel placed at Rs257 levels, thereby triggering a major structural turnaround implying the end of the secondary corrective phase and resumption of primary uptrend thereby offering fresh entry opportunity.

We expect the stock to continue with its current up move and retrace at least 50 percent of the entire corrective decline from Rs 458 to Rs210 placed around Rs338 levels in the medium term.
