On the sectoral front – banks, finance, auto, and power stocks buying interest while selling was seen in IT, metals, telecom, and energy stocks.

Stocks that were in focus include IRB Infrastructure that rose over 15 per cent, Union Bank of India closed with gains of 6 per cent and Federal Bank rallied over 2.6 percent.

Here's what Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:

IRB Infrastructure: Hold

This counter seems to have registered a price and volume breakout as it emerged out of a minor consolidation zone of 13 sessions.

However, as this counter witnessed a sharp price appreciation in the last session, some kind of consolidation and profit booking going forward can’t be ruled out.

Any dips from current levels can be considered as an opportunity to create fresh long positions. Eventually, if the stock sustains above 220 levels, a higher target of 285 can be expected.

While exiting holders can continue to remain invested fresh entry shall be considered in the zone of 237 – 232 with a stop below 220.

Union Bank: Buy

This counter appears to have embarked on a medium-term uptrend as hinted by the sharp price appreciations on the back of massive volumes.

Moreover, on the weekly charts, it seems to have decisively cleared its critical hurdle present around 45. 

Hence, it can be in for a bigger up move going forward. However, positional traders are advised to hold the investment with a stop below 44 and look for an initial target of 63. Even fresh buying can also be considered.

Federal Bank: Wait & Watch

Albeit this counter cleared its immediate resistance on 93 on weekly charts it seems to have entered an area where it has multiple resistance points as it inches upwards.

Therefore, unless it closes above 100, fresh strength shall not be expected. On such a close higher target of 110 is possible. Nevertheless, it looks prudent to exit the position if it fails to close above 98 in the next trading session. On the downside, some weakness can be expected if it slips below 93.
