The benchmark indices rebounded after a day of steep correction and closed with 1.7 percent gains on April 9, following a bounce-back trade in global counterparts. The market breadth also turned positive, with about 2,201 shares advancing against 371 declining shares on the NSE. Volatility is likely to remain high, and consolidation is expected to continue until the index closes the bearish gap of April 7. Below are some trading ideas for the near term:

SBI Life Insurance Company | CMP: Rs 1,488

Nestle India | CMP: Rs 2,275.4

Nestle India is in the accumulation zone, where it is trading in a rangebound mode on the daily scale. However, recent bullish activity near the breakout zone of the range indicates good strength.

Pidilite Industries | CMP: Rs 2,930.95

On Monday's session, when all the global markets experienced a bloodbath due to negative global cues and fears over recession, Pidilite Industries did not fall as much in comparison to other stocks. In the previous session, prices surged by nearly 3%, which is a positive sign. Moreover, prices took support at the mid Bollinger bands and gained more than 5%, which is also a positive sign.

The stock is moving within a downward sloping channel and is currently trading at the resistance of the channel. A breakout of it is needed for bullish momentum to continue. Also, prices have retraced exactly 38.2% of the fall that started in September 2024. For now, we expect prices to retrace up to 50% of the fall, which is also near its previous swing high of Rs 3,010 levels. In summary, the current trend for Pidilite Industries looks to be positive. A break above Rs 2,950 levels can lead to a trending move towards Rs 3,070, followed by Rs 3,185 levels. On the downside, Rs 2,830 levels is the nearest support to watch out for.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 3,070, Rs 3,185

Stop-Loss: Rs 2,830

Indus Towers | CMP: Rs 370.65

In the previous session, Indus Towers managed to outshine its sector and surged by more than 4%, which is a bullish sign. Moreover, the stock has been consolidating within a broader range of Rs 312-390 levels. For now, a break above Rs 375 can result in a move towards the upper end of the range, which is at Rs 390 levels, followed by Rs 405. On the daily chart, prices recently found support at the baseline (red line) of the Ichimoku cloud indicator and reversed to the upside, which is a bullish sign. Also, the RSI is trading at 65, which gives prices the space to trend further. On the downside, Rs 355 is the nearest support.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 390, Rs 405

Stop-Loss: Rs 355

Rainbow Children's Medicare | CMP: Rs 1,479.65

In the previous session, Rainbow Children's Medicare closed with a massive gain of 5.26% and also managed to close above the prior day's high. The stock has been witnessing a rounding bottom pattern since January 2025. Currently, prices are trading near its neckline at Rs 1,490 levels. A daily close above Rs 1,490 will confirm the breakout of the said pattern. If this happens, a fresh course of rise can be expected in this stock.

On the daily chart, the ADX (Average Directional Index) is trading above 25 at 28, suggesting strong momentum to continue in the stock. In summary, the trend for Rainbow is bullish. A break above Rs 1,490 is a must for positive momentum to continue, with the target at Rs 1,610. On the downside, the nearest support is at Rs 1,420.
