Stock picks from Motilal Oswal Research

Sacchitanand Uttekar, an equity technical analyst at Motilal Oswal shares his views on the markets

Nifty Outlook

Consecutive narrow ranged formations on the weekly scale augurs well for consolidation within the ongoing uptrend. On the daily scale, the Nifty has been progressing well within the channel pattern with no signs of termination. The ongoing bullish trending sequence could deteriorate in case of a breach below 8640. While a sustained move above 8900 during the week could attract momentum & push the Nifty towards the upper end of the pattern. Trading longs should be maintained with a stop at 8630.

HDFC LTD.

Reco:  BUY

Last Close: Rs 1412.45

Target : Rs 1495

The recent breakout above its intermediate resistance along with the 'Rising Three' formation on the weekly scale augurs well for the uptrend to remain intact. We expect the stock to witness outperformance in the coming weeks & hence long positions could be added with a stop below Rs 1390 for target of Rs 1495.
