which rose more than 5%, which dropped over 7%, and which fell more than 5% on Thursday.

Here’s what Amol Athawale, Deputy Vice-President – Technical Research, Kotak Securities Ltd recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:


Apollo Tyres: Buy
Thursday was the day for tyres stocks and most of the stocks in the segment performed well as crude oil prices fell suddenly.

Since March 2022, Apollo Tyre has remained a strong outperformer whenever the sector has rallied. On Thursday, it rose 6% and closed above 330, a major hurdle for the stock.

Above 330, the stock’s next major resistance is placed at 350 and in the best-case scenario at 370. The previous support level will act as a major support for it.

However, the support of 10-days and 20-days SMA will be the final stop loss for holding long positions, which is at 320.

Bajaj Finance: Avoid Longs
The company’s quarterly update on Wednesday sent the stock lower. The stock was already quoting at expensive valuations and failed to meet expectations.

The punishment was severe, and it broke all-important support and closed below the 20 and 10-day SMA.

The level of 5750 and 5550 will be watched on the downside. On the upside, there will be resistance at 6500 and 6600. It is advised to avoid taking any long positions in between.

Bajaj Finserv: Contra Buy
Shares of Bajaj Finserve fell on Thursday due to continued weakness in Bajaj Finance. On Thursday, the stock broke the 200-day SMA at 1520 and never looked back.

In the near term, technically, the stock should touch 1375 or 1350 level. On the upside, 1500 and 1550 could be supply areas. If the stock bounces like that, selling is advised. A contra buy is advised between 1375/1350 levels.
