NIFTY
Current: 5,527
June Target: NA

The Nifty continues to range-trade and it could hit either 5,300 or 5,700 on a breakout. A trading position wide long strangle such as long 5,400p (45) and long 5,700c (27) could pay off handsomely if the market swings 100-odd points. The option closer to money will gain much more than the other option will lose. Lay off with a short 5,300p (26) and short 5,800c (11) to cut costs to a net 35.

DLF
Current: Rs 235
Target: Rs 230

The stock saw some selling pressure that could continue and drive it down till Rs 229-230. Keep a stop at Rs 237 and go short. Add to the position between Rs 232-234 and reset the stop to Rs 235. Book profits below Rs 230. If Rs 237 is broken, an upside till Rs 242 is possible so considering reversing and going long.

TATA MOTORS
Current: Rs 1,029
Target: Rs 1,075

The stock is forming a base on solid support between Rs 1,015-1,030. It could bounce till Rs 1,075 if there is some buying over the next three sessions. Keep a stop at Rs 1,015 and go long. Add to the position between Rs 1,045-1,055 and reset the stop to 1035. Start booking profits at Rs 1,075. If Rs 1,015 is broken, the downside would be till Rs 975-980.
