Likely target: Rs 2,420
Upside potential: 14%

At present, the immediate support comes at Rs 2,021, its 50-DMA and as long as the stock trades above Rs 1,800-mark, the uptrend is still intact, shows the weekly chart. The counter may show reversal back to its historic peak of Rs 2,420 mark.  CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART

ACC Ltd (ACC)
Likely target: Rs 2,500 ( if sustains above Rs 2,000)
Upside potential: 10%

Ambuja Cements (AMBUJACEM)
Likely target: Rs 420 (after strong move over 200-DMA)
Upside potential: 10%

After witnessing a severe beating and falling almost 40 per cent from its all-time high of Rs 433 on the breakdown of “Head and Shoulder” pattern, the stock is now back at its 200-DMA placed at Rs 370.50 mark, shows the daily chart. The stock needs to aggressively close above its 200-DMA with addition of follow-up buying to retrieve the losing sentiment.
