IDFC First Bank | CMP: Rs 79.35

After declining from higher levels, IDFC First Bank rebounded from its retracement zone and witnessed a robust recovery. Additionally, on the daily charts, the stock has given a breakout from its sloping trendline.

The up moves in the stock suggest a new leg of a bullish trend from the current levels. For the next few trading sessions, Rs 76 could be the trend-decider level for the bulls. If it sustains above the same, we can expect a further uptrend towards Rs 85.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 85

Stop-Loss: Rs 76

Shriram Finance | CMP: Rs 838.25

After a remarkable rally and a brief pause over the last few sessions, Shriram Finance is gaining further traction for an up move. The structure of the chart formation indicates a bullish continuation pattern, which is likely to persist in the near term.

For positional traders, Rs 805 would be the decisive level. Trading above the same, the uptrend formation will continue till Rs 900. However, if it closes below Rs 805, traders may prefer to exit long trading positions.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 900

Stop-Loss: Rs 805

Star Health and Allied Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 496.25

On the weekly scale, Star Health witnessed a gradual rebound from lower levels. Additionally, the stock is currently in a phase of consolidation for the last couple of sessions. Furthermore, the recent bullish activity near the breakout zone indicates good strength.

The gradual up moves in the stock suggest a fresh leg of a bullish trend in the coming horizon. As long as the stock is trading above Rs 475, the bullish texture is likely to continue, above which the stock could move up to Rs 530.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 530

Stop-Loss: Rs 475

Aditya Birla Capital | CMP: Rs 345.45

In Tuesday’s session, Aditya Birla Capital finally gave a breakout from its week-long consolidation range of Rs 323 to Rs 336, along with a surge in volumes. Moreover, prices also closed above the previous swing high of Rs 345 with a gain of more than 4%, which is a strong bullish sign.

Recently, prices found support at the 25-period EMA and have gained more than 7% since, highlighting buying pressure from lower levels. However, as the current rise was steep in nature, one should avoid chasing highs. For now, one should use a buy-on-dips approach.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 355, Rs 365

Stop-Loss: Rs 330

AU Small Finance Bank | CMP: Rs 944.05

In the previous session, despite Bank Nifty closing in the red, AU Small Finance Bank posted strong outperformance by hitting a fresh all-time high of Rs 946, gaining more than 2%. This relative strength against the broader market is a clear bullish indication.

Since the beginning of October 2025, prices have consistently closed near the upper Bollinger Band, highlighting sustained momentum and strong buying interest.

However, the RSI is approaching overbought territory, suggesting that a short-term cool-off or minor dip cannot be ruled out before the next leg of the rally unfolds. Therefore, dips should be used as buying opportunities.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 970, Rs 1,000

Stop-Loss: Rs 905

Jubilant Ingrevia | CMP: Rs 725

On the daily chart, Jubilant Ingrevia has outperformed its sector and closed with a gain of more than 2?spite major indices falling. The stock has successfully retested the neckline of the Inverted Head & Shoulders pattern after giving a decisive breakout in the previous week.

Along with that, KST (Know Sure Thing) has recently crossed above the signal line (red) and is already trading above the zero line. This indicates improving momentum and suggests that the upward trajectory is likely to continue in the coming sessions.

For now, any break above Rs 727 can trigger a fresh course of rally, which can push prices higher towards Rs 770 as per the right shoulder’s length, followed by Rs 800.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 770, Rs 800

Stop-Loss: Rs 699
