Ultratech Cement — Buy on dips
After a narrow range consolidation, the stock took support near 100 day SMA (Simple Moving Average) around 8250 level. The anchor VWAP band shows a crucial support within the range of 8240 to 8270 zone.

Maruti Suzuki — Buy on dips
Despite the weak market sentiment, the stock held its strength. Currently the stock is trading well above 5 and 9 day EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
In addition, any pullback towards 10730 to 10750 would be a good buy opportunity with stop loss below 10650.
Momentum would be extremely strong above that 10825 mark — towards the target of 10900-10950.
MMTC — Buy on dips
After a sharp rally of 65% in the last one week; the stock touched a lower circuit of 10% today. With the stock trading well above 5 and 9 day EMA (Exponential Moving Average).

The stock witnessed a multi-year breakout and is now seen to re-test that breakout market.
