Stock is holding above its 200 WMA & 200 DMA simultaneously. With an 8-week high closing on daily and weekly scale the momentum is about to unfold. With the merger event out of the way, prices are set to find an equilibrium which charts suggest is on the upside.Oberoi Realty (BUY):LCP: 1804Stop Loss: 1738Target: 1970Stock has reversed from sub 1600 levels after forming a double bottom pattern. Momentum breakout has just been witnessed in last week’s trade as the stock crossed its previous swing highs. An inverted head and shoulder breakout is also in play on daily and weekly charts which is likely to allow further 8-10% upside from current levels.Home First Finance Company India (BUY):LCP: 1200Stop Loss: 1135Target: 1365Stock had been facing a price correction over the past 52 weeks which appears to have ended based on price action on charts.

The index is in range to buy this dip and so far it remains below 23950 the range to accumulate remains valid as support remains unchanged near 23800. Short covering likely to unfold above 24000 while a larger move unfolds above 24200. Overall, this leg remains open for retest of 24150 and 24600 on the upside. We have rolled over our June Fut longs on Nifty to July with a 70 pt rollover spread. Both blends of oil have cooled off to 15 weeks lows which can arrest any incremental selling from these levels.Bank NiftyLike Nifty, Bank Nifty as well faced two consecutive days ending below its previous day’s low as the index took a step back before its larger step forward. First day of July series ended above its previous day’s high negating the pullback move and resuming its uptrend. Currently it has reversed from its April 2026 resistance which has acted as support all through last month which can be used to buy / add on longs with 57100 odd acting as support on downside. Upside is seen for 58800 retest once again.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, or any other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts and analysts are their own.
