
ASHOKLEY has lost around 1.50% during the week whereas NIFTY AUTO has almost gained 2%. During the month,
the stock has given a negative return of 3.15%; significantly underperforming the Auto index i.e. NIFTY AUTO which
has gained 6.85% month on month basis. The stock is expected to outperform in the coming sessions.

The stock had fallen from its 52-week highs of 112.90 levels clocked in the month of April‟16 and slipped towards 8990 levels, where its 50-DEMA was placed on the weekly charts. The stock has taken support at the lower levels and
has built a base and is likely to resume its upward journey towards 102-106 levels in the coming sessions. The stock
has consolidated for around 2 months in the range of 90-100 levels. The volume witnessed in the stock during the
consolidation phase was decent, signaling accumulation in the counter at the lower levels.

The stock is trading above its 200- DEMA levels on the daily charts and above its 50/100/200-DEMA on the weekly
charts indicating strength in the counter.

Among the indicators, the 14-day RSI has already given a positive crossover with 9-day signal line and is pointing
northwards on the daily charts, clearly indicating bullishness in the counter is likely to continue in the near term. The
Parabolic-SAR is placed below the price on the daily charts, further indicating positive biasness in the counter.
Our take: The recent price action suggests that the positive momentum in the stock is likely to continue and the counter is
expected to trade higher in the coming sessions. Thus, we recommend buying the stock for the targets of 102-106 levels
and add further on any dip towards 92 levels with a stop loss placed below 89 levels.


Axis Bank has rallied a whopping 57% from its February lows of 365-370 in a span of five months outperforming the
bench mark index Bank Nifty, that has moved up around 42% in the same time period. The last month witnessed a
subdued movement in the counter with the largest fall coming in the penultimate week of July. However the positive
trend in the stock is still intact and the stock looks poised to continue its bullish trend in the near future.

Fibonacci retracements drawn from the high of 654.90 to the low of 366.75 indicates that the stock has closed above
the 61.8% mark on the weekly chart suggesting the correction in the counter is probably over. This move is
accompanied by above average set of volumes, re iterating that the stock is being bought into at lower levels making it
an excellent opportunity to enter the stock at current levels.

Adding to the above technical parameter, the price pattern is forming higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart
and is well placed above the major moving averages buoyed by volumes, reiterating our positive stance in the counter.
With the current chart structure and recent correction witnessed in the counter along with the lucrative risk reward
ratio, the stock can be bought to gain from a short term perspective.

An upward slopping support trend line drawn from the low of 374 on the weekly chart is holding as strong support and
has not been negated indicating the upward momentum is likely to continue. On the indicator front the daily RSI is
mirroring the price pattern move and the weekly RSI is on the verge of generating a bullish crossover providing further
technical evidence.
Our take: Going forward, with the current technical set up of the stock, we expect the positive run to continue in the
counter. Therefore, we recommend to „BUY‟ for the target of 600 and then 620 with stop loss placed below 498 for the
month.

BPCL is one of our preferred counter in the oil and gas space The counter has been an outperformer on the monthly
basis and generated more than 1.5 times more returns in comparison to the benchmark Nifty Energy. The stock is
making higher highs and higher lows on daily and weekly charts and also the stock surged nearly 10.50% in the past
one month

The stock is making higher highs and higher lows on all major time frames and also has given breakout from a broad
range of between 480-380 levels and made its all time high of 601.85 which indicates buyers overpowered the sellers
and surged the stock to the higher levels on closing basis.

The stock has given breakout from “BULLISH FLAG PATTERN “near 458 levels and retested the said levels and
made its all time high of 601.85 on daily chart with more than average volume confirmed the pattern significance. The
stock has seen strong buying interest from past two months and outperformed its peer group significantly suggest
strength in the counter.

The Bollinger band (20, 2) is also rising on weekly chart and price is trading above its upper band of the Bollinger band
and there is no sign of any reversal in the stock suggest the strength in the counter. The stock is also trading well
above its 21/50/100/200 day EMA levels on daily charts as well.

Among the indicators, parabolic SAR (Stop & Reverse) in daily charts is trading below the price, suggesting buying will
remain intact with the counter in near term. Among the oscillators front, the 14-week RSI (70.37) and there is no sign
of any reversal this supports our bullish stance in this counter.
Our take: Considering all the above data, we recommend traders to enter the stock at the current levels for targets of 680
and 685 levels and any correction towards 572 can be utilized to average the stock keeping stop loss below 540 levels on
end of the day basis.


HINDUNILVR Ltd. is India‟s largest FMCG Company, with leadership in various categories. In the long term stock
price is in a secular bull trend, with typical behaviour of intermittent price correction after a steady run, eventually
which gives an excellent opportunity to accumulate stock.

The stock price clocked an all time high of 981 in the beginning of March‟15, post which stock entered in to a
prolonged consolidation mode, tested the patience of market participants. Structurally, in the phase of consolidation
stock price retraced almost 50% of move started from the swing low of 537 to an all time high. In the last few months‟
stock formed a higher-high, higher-low in short to medium term price chart, exhibiting revival in the stock movement.
Also month on month basis moreover stock moved in line with NIFTY FMCG Index.

Technically, stock is well poised above its 200 & 50-DEMA and meandering above its 21-DEMA. Notably, during an
entire phase of consolidation 14-period weekly RSI managed to sustain in bullish territory 40-level, and that is also
being supported by price action, where we see more of time consolidation and less of price correction; and currently
RSI is poised to surge towards overbought territory. Also on the weekly time frame chart MACD (12/26/9) has
witnessed Bullish Crossover above signal line, reaffirming underlying strength in the counter.

Based on above technical observations we expect prices to retest it‟s all time high and eventually move in to an
uncharted territory, over the coming month.

Our take: The stock price found support above its 50-DEMA and surging with spurt in volume indicates bullish momentum
is likely to continue over coming sessions, which may take prices higher to retest its life time high and eventually enter into
an uncharted territory over the coming month. Hence one may consider buying stock at current market price and average
the stock price on any dip towards 885 levels for the upside target of 1000 and 1025, placing a stop loss below 845 levels.

SAR on the same time frames is comfortably trading below the price which reflects the buy in the counter will remain

of around 25% can be seen in the stock merely on the account of profit booking and the upcoming buy back. Further,
fresh longs have been witnessed in the August series suggesting positive momentum to continue.

current levels for targets of 443 and while any correction into the said trading range can be utilized to average the stock

On the other hand, we expect the counter to continue its upwards momentum in the coming weeks as well and may
enter the uncharted territory surpassing its all time high levels. We also expect the stock to outperform its peers in the
coming trading month on grounds of good earnings in the last quarter.
Our take: On the basis of the above mentioned technical data, the counter is looking bullish for the time frame of 3-4

weeks and may test 2835-2920 levels. On the other hand, any dips towards 2505 levels may be an excellent opportunity
for the short to medium term traders to average the stock keeping strict stop loss at 2400 levels.
