Market Consolidation Continues, Experts Offer Trading Picks
Indian equity benchmarks extended their decline for a second session on January 6, with the market breadth weakening. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) saw 1,801 shares decline against 1,054 advancing. Analysts anticipate this consolidation phase to persist over the upcoming trading sessions. Amidst this cautious sentiment, market experts have put forth several short-term trading recommendations.
Pidilite Industries Poised for Upside
Pidilite Industries, currently trading around ₹1,505, has broken out of a range-bound pattern on decent volumes. Amol Athawale from Kotak Securities suggests a 'Buy' strategy, targeting ₹1,600 with a stop-loss at ₹1,455. A close above ₹1,455 is viewed as a bullish indicator for further momentum.
LIC Shows Accumulation Strength
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is observed to be in an accumulation zone, trading within a defined range. Recent bullish activity signals strength, with experts projecting a potential breakout. Athawale recommends a 'Buy' for LIC, setting a target of ₹910 and a stop-loss of ₹820, with ₹820 acting as a crucial trend-decider level.
Sun Pharma Eyes Further Gains
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has experienced a sharp upside breakout this week, moving past key moving averages. Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities views this as a precursor to further upside momentum. With expanding volumes and positive RSI signals, Shetti advises a 'Buy', targeting ₹1,905 and setting a stop-loss at ₹1,685.
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Sees Bullish Sentiment Shift
Emcure Pharmaceuticals has decisively surpassed its consolidation resistance around ₹1,470. The stock's weekly pattern suggests a shift towards bullishness, with a consistent higher tops and higher bottoms formation intact. Expanding volumes and positive RSI indicators support a 'Buy' recommendation from Shetti, who targets ₹1,655 and sets a stop-loss at ₹1,458.
NAVA Breaks Out of Range
NAVA has achieved a decisive upside breakout at the ₹440 level after weeks of range-bound trading. Shetti highlights that the positive sequence of higher tops and bottoms remains robust. With strong volume support and favorable RSI readings, NAVA is also a 'Buy' candidate, aiming for ₹660 with a stop-loss at ₹580.
Fortis Healthcare Forms Rounding Bottom
Fortis Healthcare has demonstrated strength by closing above its neckline at ₹941, confirming a rounding bottom pattern. Ashish Kyal from Waves Strategy Advisors notes the stock's resilience and its close above the 50 EMA. Kyal suggests a 'Buy' strategy for dips, targeting ₹985 and ₹1,030, with a stop-loss at ₹895.
Aurobindo Pharma Reverses Trend
Aurobindo Pharma is on the verge of breaking out from an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern after finding support near its 60-day EMA. The stock shows a bullish MACD crossover and is nearing a decisive breakout above ₹1,242. Kyal recommends a 'Buy', targeting ₹1,320, and places a stop-loss at ₹1,190.
