Sensex closed above the 73,000 level for the first time while broader Nifty scaled the 22,000-point peak on Monday as key stock indices stayed on the record-breaking run.
Stocks that were in focus included names like Just Dial, which rose 1.82%, HDFC Life, which declined 3.55%, and Wipro, whose shares jumped 6.37% on Monday.
Here's what Kushal Gandhi, Technical Analysts at Stoxbox, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today.
The pattern analysis on the daily timeframe shows that the price action has resulted in a bullish breakout from a rounding bottom schematic.
Not only did the breakout come on stupendous volume, but also with a breakaway gap further validating the breakout. Considering the volatility of the price action in the previous 3 trading sessions amidst its earnings, we reckon a buy on Just Dial from the range of 900-880 for the target of 997 and protective stop at 833.
The price action on the weekly timeframe is trading in a potential double top pattern indicating bearish implication.
However, the breakdown confirmation comes on price breaching below 600 levels on a closing basis following which it would hand out a directional bias. Until then, we reckon to avoid HDFC Life.
The street cheered Wipro’s earnings resulting in a 10% gap-up opening. With this, the price action surfaced from another base of accumulation it formed followed by a rounding bottom bullish breakout.
This indicates strength amongst the buyers. However, considering the extended move, we recommend buying Wipro on a dip from 498-489 for the target of 560 and stop loss at 464.
