Aarti Industries

The stock has experienced a significant breakout above its 52-week high of 712 on its daily charts. With the RSI (relative strength index – 14) on the daily timeframe hovering near 70.19, the overall momentum appears strong. Any pullback towards Rs 712-715 zone should present a favourable buying opportunity for the stock.

A strict stop-loss should be set at Rs 690 mark for potential upside target of Rs 800 and above. Given that the volumes on the stock are four times its average (30-day) traded volume, the stock appears poised for a strong uptrend rally.

Cummins India

The RSI (14) on its daily charts, nearing 71.63, indicates strong momentum, with major support positioned at Rs 3,000 mark, which should serve as a stop-loss for the trade.
