Samvardhana Motherson International | CMP: Rs 145.74

Samvardhana Motherson International reached an all-time high of Rs 151, reflecting strong bullish sentiment. The stock is in a strong uptrend across all time frames, forming a series of higher tops and higher bottoms, indicating a sustained bullish trend. With the recent week's close, the stock broke out above a one-year down-sloping trendline at the Rs 135 level, accompanied by huge volumes.

The stock is well placed above its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). These averages are also trending higher alongside the price, further confirming bullish sentiment. Daily and weekly Bollinger Band buy signals indicate increasing momentum.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 155, Rs 168

Stop-Loss: Rs 140

Rain Industries | CMP: Rs 188.07

Since August 2021, Rain Industries had been in a downtrend. However, with strong gains during the current month and huge volumes, the stock has decisively surpassed a down-sloping trendline resistance on a closing basis.

The stock is well placed above its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). These averages are also moving higher with the price rise, reaffirming bullish sentiment. Weekly and monthly Bollinger Band buy signals indicate increasing momentum.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 205, Rs 220

Stop-Loss: Rs 170

IFCI | CMP: Rs 68.53

On the weekly chart, IFCI broke out above multiple resistance levels around Rs 66. Strong rising volumes over the past three to four weeks indicate increased participation. The stock is well placed above its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). These averages are also inching higher with the price rise, reaffirming bullish sentiment.

The daily, weekly, and monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in favourable territory, indicating rising strength across all time frames.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 75, Rs 85

Stop-Loss: Rs 66

Marico | CMP: Rs 821.7

Marico has been in an uptrend, characterised by the formation of higher highs and higher lows. The stock formed a cup pattern, and following the breakout, it has consistently sustained above the breakout level while witnessing accumulation. This accumulation phase appears to be nearing its end, as the stock has undergone a time-wise correction. A cool-off in the 14-period RSI has also been observed, which is a common occurrence during an uptrend.

The stock can be bought at current levels with a stop-loss at Rs 808, as it appears to be in the final stages of a sideways consolidation.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 854

Stop-Loss: Rs 806

Fujiyama Power Systems | CMP: Rs 320

Fujiyama Power Systems has been in an uptrend, forming higher highs and higher lows. The stock has exhibited a cup pattern with a breakaway gap and has recorded an all-time high. It has resumed moving strongly in favour of a larger uptrend, supported by multiple breakaway gaps following a brief corrective phase.

The breakout from the pattern occurred with a significant expansion in volumes. The stock has consistently remained above all major EMAs, which are sloping upward. It has also created strong support around the Rs 260 level, near the 20-day EMA, highlighting the strength of the ongoing uptrend.

The stock can be bought at current levels with a stop-loss below Rs 301, as it has exhibited multiple bullish continuation patterns.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 360

Stop-Loss: Rs 301

Supriya Lifescience | CMP: Rs 968.7

Supriya Lifescience has confirmed a breakout from a bullish 79-week rectangle pattern near the Rs 932 zone, signalling the beginning of a potential expansion phase after a prolonged consolidation. The breakout is supported by an exceptional 600 percent surge in volumes compared to the 10-week average, indicating strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move.

Price action suggests successful absorption of supply, with momentum now favouring a sustained upside trend. The pattern projects an immediate upside potential towards the Rs 1,200 zone. Importantly, the breakout level between Rs 900 and Rs 920 is expected to act as a strong support band, making any pullback into this area a potential accumulation opportunity. A sustained move below this zone would weaken the bullish setup.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 1,200

Stop-Loss: Rs 890

Thermax | CMP: Rs 4,982.7

Thermax has broken out of a bullish three-week tight closing pattern following a strong accumulation phase, a setup often associated with institutional participation and sustained trend continuation. The tight price action after a prior advance reflects supply absorption and a lack of meaningful profit booking, reinforcing the strength of the underlying trend.

Volume behaviour and price stability suggest that strong hands continue to support the stock at higher levels. A decisive follow-through move above Rs 4,970 would confirm the breakout and trigger fresh momentum buying. Upon confirmation, the stock is well positioned to advance towards the Rs 5,500 zone in the near term. The breakout area now acts as a key support and risk-management reference for bulls.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 5,400

Stop-Loss: Rs 4,900

Cemindia Projects | CMP: Rs 1,071.15

Cemindia Projects has delivered a powerful breakout on the weekly charts from a two-inside-bar formation, signalling a sharp expansion in momentum after a period of volatility contraction. The right side of the pattern was supported by two strong institutional-volume candles, including one session that recorded a remarkable 986 percent surge over the 10-week average volume, highlighting aggressive accumulation by large participants.

The breakout above the Rs 1,000 level confirms a significant shift in trend dynamics and strengthens the bullish structure. Price action suggests continuation rather than exhaustion, with institutional participation lending credibility to the move. Any pullback towards the Rs 1,000 breakout zone should be viewed as a retest opportunity, offering a favourable risk-reward entry point for trend-following investors.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 1,350

Stop-Loss: Rs 990
