Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals | Buy | Target Price: Rs 385-390 | Stop Loss: 290
Crompton Greaves has been consistently maintaining its bearish trend since 2022 and can be seen trading with a series of lower bottom pattern formation on weekly charts. From last almost one year, this stock has been consolidating in a broader range of Rs 250-320 and has been sustaining below its 200 days exponential moving average on weekly charts. Last week, the stock has shown some recovery from its lows as prices seen giving a renewed momentum above its 200 days exponential moving average once again with a fresh breakout above its long-term bearish channel as well. Therefore, one can buy the stock in the range of Rs 320-325 levels for the upside target of Rs 385-390 levels with stop loss below Rs 290 levels.

Larsen & Toubro | Buy | Target Price: Rs 3,800-4,000 | Stop Loss: Rs 3,450
Larsen & Toubro is poised for a breakout from an upward consolidation range, consistently finding support at its 20 DMA. The momentum indicator RSI has recently turned positive with a crossover, confirming the bullish momentum. A visible lower-end support at Rs 3,450 acts as a foundation for potential bullish movements. Considering these factors, the stock holds potential upside targets of Rs 3,800 and Rs 4,000.

Tata Chemicals | Buy | Target Price: Rs 1,300-1,310 | Stop Loss: Rs 1,000
Tata Chemicals can be seen trading in a rising channel with formation of higher bottom pattern on weekly charts. Last week a fresh breakout had been observed above the symmetrical triangle pattern on broader charts as stock marked its 52-week high of 1141 as well. The breakout was observed with a sudden spike in average volumes and positive divergences on secondary oscillators as well. We expect the momentum is likely to continue towards more upside as price volume action suggests a fresh round of buying into the stock. Therefore, one can buy the stock in the range of Rs 1,110-1,115 levels for the upside target of Rs 1,300-1,310 levels with stop loss below Rs 1,000 levels.
