Here’s what Ashish Kyal of Waves Strategy Advisors recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:

Cochin Shipyard

On the daily chart of Cochin Shipyard we can see that on previous day prices formed a bullish candle and closed with a huge gain. Prices recently formed a Rounding Bottom pattern which is a bullish pattern. Any close above Rs 692 levels will give a breakout and the stock will continue its momentum.

Along with this, positive DI (directional indicator green line) in ADX (average directional index) is back to the support level and bounced back again thereby indicating trending move and soon we can expect a breakout in this stock.

The 50-day EMA (exponential moving average) is acting as brilliant support to prices. As per this, nearest support can be placed at Rs 621 levels. In short, a move above Rs 692 will build further momentum in this stock for a move to Rs 760 and higher levels. While on the downside, Rs 621 can act as a near term support.

NMDC

NMDC on the daily timeframe is in a higher high higher low formation and is trading in an upward sloping parallel channel. Price also broke its previous swing high of Rs 118 which is a positive sign.

We have used Ichimoku cloud. In this up move every time price gave a dip towards the base line (red), it acted as support and even recently prices bounced back from red support line. In a nutshell, NMDC looks bullish.

Any dip towards Rs 115 can be used as a buying opportunity for the target of Rs 123 as long as Rs 110 holds on the downside.

Jindal Worldwide

In the previous trading session, Jindal Worldwide showed a good rise. The stock continued to rally and since past 3 trading session prices have given a close above previous day’s high which suggests strength in the stock.

On the daily chart, prices recently gave a breakout of the Double Bottom pattern. A Double Bottom pattern is a classic technical analysis charting formation that represents a major change in trend and a momentum reversal from a prior down move.

Also, we have applied ADX which helps to understand overall momentum. As it is trading near 41 suggesting that good momentum is likely to continue in this stock. Along with this, super trend is also showing positive trend which is acting as a confirmation.

In short, trend for this stock is positive. Use dips towards Rs 400-405 as a buying opportunity for a move towards Rs 460 levels as long as Rs 390 holds on the downside.
