Analyst: Riyank Arora, Technical Analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd

The New India Assurance Company Ltd: LTP Rs 209The stock has given a strong breakout above Feb 2021 highs with a sharp rise in volumes. With the price rising over 20% in a single day, the overall momentum looks strong.

The stock has a minor resistance at 219 – above which the current up-move can accelerate towards 250 and 266.

If the stock re-tests 195 to 200 zone; it would offer a good buy opportunity with a stop loss below 187.50 for targets of 250 and 266.

General Insurance Corporation of India: LTP Rs 307
The stock showed a sharp move, rising over 16% in Friday’s trading session. There is an immediate resistance at 320 for the stock, above which we can see 335 and 385 coming in.

Overall, the structure looks very strong with the stock making higher highs and higher lows indicating a sharp up-trend.

Any breakout above the level of 320 should bring in a strong momentum rally towards 335 and 385 in a spree of up-move.

SPARC: LTP Rs 273
The stock has given a good breakout on its daily and weekly charts, giving a strong closing above the 267.50 mark.

With a sharp rise in volumes, the momentum looks very strong for a poised up-move towards 290 and 300, with a firm stop loss set near the 256 mark.

The stock has also made a Cup & Handle Breakout Pattern on its daily charts showing signs of a good positive up-move in the coming few weeks.

Strong technical structure coupled with huge volumes is a big positive sign for the stock.
