The market extended its gains for the sixth consecutive session, with the Nifty closing 0.17 percent higher on April 22. Bulls continued to dominate, as reflected in the advance-decline ratio. A total of 1,657 shares saw buying interest compared to 938 shares that corrected on the NSE. The positive momentum is expected to persist in the upcoming sessions, despite potential consolidation. Below are some trading ideas for the near term:

Praj Industries | CMP: Rs 528.4

After a decline from higher levels, Praj Industries rebounded from its demand zone and has witnessed a steady recovery. On the daily charts, the counter has formed a higher low formation. The gradual upward movement suggests the beginning of a new bullish leg from current levels.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 565

Stop-Loss: Rs 510

Lupin | CMP: Rs 2,046.7

Lupin has given a breakout from its symmetrical triangle chart pattern with a strong bullish candlestick. Additionally, it has formed a higher bottom formation on both daily and weekly charts, indicating a continuation of bullish momentum. Unless the stock trades below Rs 1,970, positional traders can maintain an optimistic outlook and aim for a target of Rs 2,180.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 2,180

Stop-Loss: Rs 1,970

Sunteck Realty | CMP: Rs 402.8

Following a downtrend, Sunteck Realty has entered an accumulation zone and is currently trading in a rangebound manner on the daily chart. Recent bullish activity indicates growing strength. A breakout from the current range could trigger bullish momentum, offering a favourable risk-reward setup.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 430

Stop-Loss: Rs 385

Aarti Industries | CMP: Rs 434.15

Aarti Industries has protected the previous day's low on a closing basis for the last eight sessions, highlighting strength in the ongoing trend. The Supertrend indicator recently turned green, supporting the bullish view. The stock has also broken out of a downward-sloping channel with rising volumes, offering double confirmation.

Furthermore, the KST (Know Sure Thing) indicator has crossed above the signal line, and a move above the zero line could further fuel momentum. The trend remains bullish. A break above Rs 445 can extend the rally toward Rs 463, followed by Rs 480, as long as Rs 426 remains protected on the downside.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 463, Rs 480

Stop-Loss: Rs 426

Phoenix Mills | CMP: Rs 1,682.3

The realty sector has been one of the top performers lately, contributing to the Nifty's rally. Phoenix Mills has been consistently outperforming its peers, gaining 4.5 percent in the previous session. The stock recently found support at its upward-sloping trendline and reversed higher, now trading near its previous swing high of Rs 1,705. A breakout above this level could strengthen the bullish trend.

In the last session, the stock closed above the Ichimoku cloud for the first time since February 2025. However, follow-up buying is essential to confirm the breakout. A decisive move above Rs 1,705 could push the stock toward Rs 1,780, followed by Rs 1,850. On the downside, Rs 1,630 remains the nearest support.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 1,780, Rs 1,850

Stop-Loss: Rs 1,630

Choice International | CMP: Rs 562.75

Choice International continues to inch higher with each session. In the last session, it reached a fresh high of Rs 570. The stock is following a simple bar technique—since April 11, each candle has closed above the prior day's high, reflecting sustained bullish sentiment. It is also forming a rounding bottom pattern on the daily chart. A decisive breakout above the neckline at Rs 570 would confirm the pattern and could accelerate positive momentum. The trend remains bullish. A breakout above Rs 570 can lead to targets of Rs 590 and Rs 615, with a stop-loss at Rs 545.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 590, Rs 615

Stop-Loss: Rs 545
