Bulls seem to be getting no chance to take control over Dalal Street as the benchmark indices extended their downtrend for seven days in a row, with negative market breadth. A total of 1,357 shares saw a correction compared to 1,217 shares that advanced on the NSE. While the market may rebound amid consolidation, sustaining the expected recovery is key to watch. Below are some trading ideas for the near term:

Bajaj Finserv | CMP: Rs 1,849.25

Bajaj Finserv has shown robust upward momentum. The stock’s recent breakout was supported by significant trading volume, indicating strong investor interest. The chart reveals a steady climb, with the 20-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) trending upward and converging towards the 50-day and 100-day EMAs. This alignment of moving averages suggests a continuation of the bullish trend if supported by further buying pressure, affirming its inherent strength.

While facing minor resistance at the Rs 1,850 level, a breakout beyond this threshold could pave the way for further upward momentum. Sustaining levels above Rs 1,900 may propel the stock toward the next target of Rs 2,000, presenting a promising outlook for investors.

Reinforcing the positive sentiment, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) comfortably rests at 64.15, indicating a favorable balance between buying and selling pressures. The technical parameters collectively suggest a constructive environment for Bajaj Finserv, encouraging potential bullish movements in the near term.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 2,000

Stop-Loss: Rs 1,770

Muthoot Finance | CMP: Rs 2,317.8

Muthoot Finance is exhibiting strong bullish momentum, hitting an all-time high of Rs 2,334.8 on Thursday. This breakout has been accompanied by a consolidation of the upward movement, characterized by higher highs and higher lows, supported by robust trading volumes, reinforcing the strength of the stock. The breakthrough suggests a potential continuation of the upward trend, offering an optimistic outlook for investors.

Additionally, Muthoot Finance is trading above key moving averages, including the short-term (20-day), medium-term (50-day), and long-term (200-day) EMAs, further affirming its bullish stance. The momentum indicator, RSI, is at 63.44. For traders, keeping an eye on the strong support near the Rs 2,222 level is advisable, as a breach of this level could signal a shift in sentiment. Overall, Muthoot Finance's current technical setup suggests a favorable environment for further upside potential.

Furthermore, Redington is trading above key exponential moving averages (EMAs), including the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs.
