Bata India has been trading in a range for the last seven months, after a sharp slide from its record high. It has made several attempts to surpass the hurdle of the long-term moving average(200 EMA) in the recent past but failed to sustain above the same however it kept forming a higher base. Indications are now in the favor of a steady up move from hereon. We thus advise initiating fresh longs within the mentioned levels.

Initiation range: Rs 445 - Rs 448
Target: Rs 490

Target: Rs 184
Stop loss: Rs 152
Manappuram has formed a strong base on the daily chart while holding above the support zone of the medium moving average(100 EMA). It looks all set for a surge, after spending three months under consolidation. Traders shouldn’t miss this opportunity and accumulate in the given range.

Recommendation Buy
Last Close: Rs 6,981.45
Initiation range: Rs 6,980 - Rs 6,990
Target: Rs 7,400
