Recommendations by Mr. Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
"A profit booking correction from the record levels dragged the Index lower to settle 09th April trade at 22,643. On the daily timeframe, the Index has made a bearish candle. Still, the overall uptrend is intact and correction if any, will provide better opportunities to enter at the lower levels. A level of 22,530 offers strong support while immediate resistance is placed at 22,780. BankNifty is showing strong momentum as compared to Nifty50 and we believe the same is likely to continue going forward as well (ICICI Bank- Pennant and Pole Breakout). From the Oil & Gas space, Petronet LNG looks strong as the stock is set to give a breakout from the consolidation, another stock that seems strong is Castrol India Ltd as it has given a strong breakout from the Bullish Flag and Pole formation with a considerable volume. We remain positive on the Metal sector as it performs as expected (APL Apollo Tubes- Inverted Head & Shoulder breakout, Hindalco- Forming a massive Cup and Handle pattern). Stock-specific buying can be seen in the Pharma sector (AuroPharma- About to give a bullish Flag and Pole formation breakout, IPCA Labs- Extending ongoing strong momentum)."
