Technical Breakouts Drive Recommendations

Nilesh Jain, VP of Equity Technical & Derivative Research at Centrum Broking, has identified several stocks demonstrating strong technical setups. Hero MotoCorp (CMP: ₹5,851.5) shows a breakout from a falling channel and has surpassed its 50-day moving average, indicating sustained strength. Fresh long positions in derivatives further support this positive outlook, with a target of ₹6,300 and a stop-loss at ₹5,670.

Sarda Energy & Minerals (CMP: ₹521.35) is noted for its fresh breakout from a descending triangle pattern, validated by surging volumes. The stock also formed a double-bottom pattern, with momentum indicators like RSI and MACD signalling bullish momentum. A target of ₹555 is set, with support at ₹499.

CCL Products (India) (CMP: ₹1,002.85) has achieved an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern breakout, supported by higher-than-average volumes and trading above short-term moving averages. A projected upside target is ₹1,075, with support around ₹961.

Momentum Indicators Signal Strength

Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, points to Steel Authority of India (SAIL) (CMP: ₹157.29) for its strong rebound from the 50-day EMA, maintaining a higher top-higher bottom structure. Improved RSI and ADX indicators suggest sustained bullishness, with a target of ₹168 and a stop-loss at ₹152.

Max Financial Services (CMP: ₹1,708.2) has rebounded sharply from its upward-sloping trendline support and is trading above key moving averages. The RSI's rapid surge indicates strong bullish momentum. Shah recommends accumulation between ₹1,715–₹1,705 with a target of ₹1,830 and a stop-loss at ₹1,660.

Larsen & Toubro (CMP: ₹4,087.1) is showing a strong trend shift after rebounding from its 200-day EMA. The RSI recovery from oversold levels and improving sector-wide momentum in the Infra index signal further upside. A target of ₹4,400 is proposed, with a stop-loss at ₹3,920.
