Here’s what Viral Chheda, Sr Technical Analyst, SSJ Finance & Securities, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today.
IIFL Finance
Since covid lows of 60 prices moved to 700 and peaked around there in Oct 2023. Since then, prices were consolidating between 700 and 550 zones till now. Today we have seen the breakdown of the range and prices are trading below 480.
The bullish structure of higher high and higher low as per Dow theory has been negated and hence the trend as per the weekly charts has turned negative. Prices are trading below 20- and 40-week avg at 594 and 574 which is a bearish sign. Any rallies should be used to exit the stock. Rallies to 500/550 will face resistance on the higher side and support will come around 400.
Bajaj Auto
Prices have been on uptrend since the break of 4400 level in Apr 2023. When prices broke above 4400 level it was a two year consolidation breakout so it was a very bullish sign, since then prices have doubled from there and are currently trading at 8350.Since the run up has been steep one should wait for some kind of consolidation to emerge and buy at lower levels.
The price structure is bullish as per Dow theory. Support will come around 8000/7800 zones which will be attractive levels to go long for a move to 10000 followed by 12000 in medium to long term. Prices are above the 20- and 40-week avg at 7055 and 6191 suggesting the trend is strongly bullish.

Prices after forming a bottom around 45 in Mar 2023 rallied towards 130 in less than a year and peaked around in Jan 2024 since then has corrected more than 25% to below 100 level.
Despite this correction, the medium to long term trend is still intact and price structure is bullish as per Dow theory. Prices are nearing the 40-week moving avg around 87 which could provide support in the near term. One can look to accumulate around 90/85 zones for a retest of recent highs around 130.
