The benchmark indices maintained their uptrend for seven straight sessions, with the Nifty closing just above 25,000, gaining 32 points on September 11, but the market breadth was slightly favouring the bears. About 1,406 shares declined against 1,360 advancing shares on the NSE. The market is expected to extend its bullish bias, given favourable technical and momentum indicators. Below are some short-term trading ideas to consider:

Havells India | CMP: Rs 1,574

Havells is currently exhibiting a strong bullish bias, supported by multiple technical indicators. The stock has broken out of a declining channel pattern, which was part of a broader triangular consolidation pattern. This channel breakout was confirmed by a notable increase in trading volume, suggesting strong conviction from buyers.

A bullish gap on the chart further reinforces the positive sentiment. The price is trading comfortably above its 20-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and is hovering around its 200-day EMA, a key long-term resistance level. Both the RSI and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) are in positive territory, confirming the bullish momentum.

While the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 17 suggests that the trend’s momentum is not yet very strong, the positive Directional Movement Index ( DMI) is dominating the negative Directional Movement Index (-DMI), indicating that bullish pressure is significantly increasing compared to bearish pressure.

The price is trading well above all its key EMAs, confirming the upward trend. The RSI is also trading in positive territory, and a bullish crossover in MACD and the signal line has occurred in a recent trading session, reinforcing the positive momentum building up.
