Amber Enterprises India | CMP: Rs 7,224.5

Amber Enterprises is on the verge of giving a horizontal trendline breakout on the daily scale. Over the last three trading sessions, the volumes recorded were above the 50-day average, which is a sign of accumulation before the actual breakout happens.

Currently, the stock is trading above its short- and long-term moving averages, both of which are in rising mode—a bullish sign. Furthermore, the daily RSI is in bullish territory and is edging higher. Hence, we recommend accumulating the stock in the zone of Rs 7,250-7,200 levels.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 7,900

Stop-Loss: Rs 7,000

UltraTech Cement | CMP: Rs 12,436

Ultratech Cement has given a horizontal trendline breakout on the daily scale, confirmed by relatively higher volume. As the stock is trading at an all-time high, all the moving averages and momentum-based indicators suggest strong bullish momentum.

The daily RSI is in bullish territory and rising. The daily MACD remains bullish, quoting above the zero line and the signal line, while the MACD histogram indicates a pickup in upside momentum. Hence, we recommend accumulating the stock in the zone of Rs 12,450-12,400 levels.

Strategy: Buy

Target: Rs 13,300

Stop-Loss: Rs 12,000
