Let’s take a look at the top eight technical stocks for Diwali’s Muhurat Trading session by Master Capital Services:

1.HDFC AMC: Buy Range ₹4480 and 4300, Stop Loss ₹3815, Targets ₹560; Potential Upside: 25 per cent

HDFC Asset Management Company (AMC) recently broke out of a key horizontal resistance level, supported by a surge in trading volumes. Prices are trading above the 34-week and 55-week EMAs, reinforcing the bullish trend. 

Following the breakout, HDFC AMC witnessed a minor correctional pullback, which brought the prices back to the breakout point. Given the favourable risk-reward perspective, the pullback presents an excellent opportunity for market participants to build fresh, long positions. The overall bullish trend is characterised by higher highs and higher lows in the broader time frame. The RSI also stays well above 50, indicating sustained relative strength of prices.

2.CONCOR: Buy Range: ₹830 and 810, Stop Loss ₹695, Targets ₹1,066; Potential Upside: 28 per cent

Prices have declined nearly 30 per cent from their all-time high but continue to hold above critical horizontal support near the 795 level. They are also trading above the 34-month EMA, which has historically served as a strong support.

The recent correction has been accompanied by reduced trading activity, indicating lower participation in this downturn. The 795-support level aligns with the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the previous major uptrend and the 34-month EMA, enhancing the probability of a current price momentum reversal.

3.LIC India: Buy Range: ₹915 and 889, Stop Loss ₹787, Target ₹1,128; Potential Upside: 23 per cent

Prices have experienced a 25 per cent correction from their all-time high, but this retracement has occurred with declining trading activity, suggesting a lack of strong selling pressure.

Currently, prices are trading near a key horizontal support zone, increasing the likelihood of a reversal from current levels. “We have seen prices take a U-turn multiple times from the same support zone,” said the brokerage.

The 21-month EMA remains intact, providing further support and reinforcing the bullish outlook for the stock. This combination of technical factors indicates that the recent decline may allow investors to build fresh and long positions.

4.Five Star Business Finance: Buy Range: ₹885 and 821, Stop Loss ₹727, Targets ₹1,027; Potential Upside: 20 per cent

Prices have broken out above the inverse head and shoulder neckline resistance, supported by a significant increase in trading activity, confirming the continuation of the bullish trend.

The broader trend remains positive, characterized by a consistent pattern of higher highs and higher lows. The RSI holds above its rising trend line support, signalling strong relative momentum. With key moving averages, such as the 34 and 55-week EMAs, well below current levels, the bullish outlook remains firmly intact.

5.Tata Power: Buy ₹440 and 422, Stop Loss ₹374, Targets ₹553; Potential Upside: 26 per cent

Stock prices are trading in a rising channel and are drifting around a lower-range value, which strengthens the case for a U-turn. The price holding above the 34-week and 55-week EMAs further reinforces the uptrend.

Diminishing trading volume during corrections, coupled with the weekly RSI consistently holding above the 50 mark, reflects ongoing buyer strength and sustained demand. The monthly chart’s MACD is bullish, suggesting the long-term uptrend remains intact. According to the brokerage, further price appreciation and the formation of new higher highs are potential.

6.Bajaj Finserv: Buy Range: ₹1,770 and 1,690, Stop Loss ₹1,485, Targets ₹2,145; Potential Upside: 21 per cent

After a strong breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern, stock prices experience a corrective dip to retest the descending trendline or breakout point. The key moving averages of 34-week and 55-week EMAs align at this retest level, indicating significant support.

The corrective dip has been accompanied by a decline in trading volume, suggesting that further downside is unlikely, as selling pressure appears to be weakening. Momentum indicators such as the RSI, trading above 50 on the weekly chart, and the MACD, remaining in a positive trajectory, further confirm the underlying bullish sentiment.

7.JSW Steel: Buy Range: ₹960 and 920, Stop Loss ₹810, Targets ₹1,193; Potential Upside: 24 per cent

According to the brokerage, the stock price are moving within a bullish channel, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows while maintaining support above the 34-week and 55-week EMAs, reflecting a strong upward trend.

Following a surge to a fresh all-time high, prices have undergone a healthy 10% correction, retracing to the 0.618 Fibonacci level. This suggests a potential bullish reversal from the current price levels. The weekly RSI remains above 50, indicating continued strength, while the MACD, in a positive trajectory, further supports the underlying bullish momentum and the potential for further upside.

8.Tata Elxsi: Buy Range: ₹7,220 and 6,850, Stop Loss ₹6,060, Targets ₹9,130; Potential Upside: 26 per cent

Stock prices are currently trading near the lower boundary of a symmetrical triangle, and strong support has been found around the 34-month period, which indicates a key level of stability. The monthly RSI remains above the 50 mark, signalling ongoing buyer strength. 

Diminished trading volume during price corrections further reinforces this positive outlook. The current price level offers an appealing risk-reward ratio with limited downside risk. Prices are expected to regain momentum and move toward the upper range of the symmetrical triangle.
