Trade Spotlight: Analysts Flag Buy Calls on Paradeep Phosphates, Tata Technologies, Shriram Finance and Others for July 3

On July 2, Indian benchmark indices rose more than 0.7 percent, their second straight session of gains. On the NSE, about 1,991 shares advanced while 1,010 declined, a spread that points to buying across the market rather than in a handful of names. The following morning, three technical analysts put out short-term buy ideas on nine stocks, each with a price target and a stop-loss.

Jay Mehta of JM Financial Services offered three. Paradeep Phosphates, at Rs 140.33, has been building a base around its 200-day exponential moving average, at the retest of an earlier breakout zone. Mehta notes higher highs and higher lows over the last three sessions on rising volumes. He suggests buying with targets of Rs 151 and Rs 159 and a stop-loss at Rs 130.

Tata Technologies, at Rs 712.4, has formed a Morning Star candlestick pattern near its 200-day average, with a spike in volumes. Mehta reads this as a short-term downtrend losing force. The stock trades above its 50- and 200-day averages with a golden crossover in place, and has retraced about 50 percent of its March 30 to June 9 rally. He also cites an Island Reversal pattern on the 75-minute chart. His targets are Rs 786 and Rs 820, with a stop at Rs 613. Poly Medicure, at Rs 1,732.3, broke out of a consolidation on strong volume, above its recent seven-day range and all key daily moving averages. Targets are Rs 1,830 and Rs 1,860, stop-loss Rs 1,600.

Om Mehra of Samco Securities chose three more. Mastek, at Rs 1,613.4, is trading inside the Ichimoku Cloud on the daily chart after a long correction. Volumes were well above average, the RSI has recovered to around 50 with a positive divergence, and the stock holds above its 20-day simple moving average. He sets a target of Rs 1,780 and a stop at Rs 1,540.

Bajaj Finserv, at Rs 1,855.70, gained more than 3 percent and cleared the Rs 1,800-1,810 resistance zone that had capped it repeatedly. Its RSI is near 66 and the MACD histogram is expanding. Mehra also points to renewed strength across non-bank lenders. His target is Rs 1,960, stop-loss Rs 1,795. For Bharat Petroleum, at Rs 310.45, he sees higher highs after support near Rs 310 in June, an RSI near 55 and a MACD that has turned positive, with the oil and gas sector rebounding. Rs 315 is the immediate resistance. Target Rs 330, stop-loss Rs 297.

Hitesh Tailor of Choice Broking rounded out the list. TVS Motor, at Rs 3,626.8, broke a falling trendline and bounced from the zone where its 20-day and 200-day averages meet; RSI is 62.36. He suggests buying near Rs 3,627, with a target of Rs 3,950 and a stop at Rs 3,460. Shriram Finance, at Rs 1,066.7, broke trendline resistance and passed its prior swing high after accumulating near the 200-day average. Entry near Rs 1,067, target Rs 1,167, stop Rs 1,015. Titan, at Rs 4,481.1, found support at its 20-day average and broke above its previous swing high, with RSI at 63.67. Entry near Rs 4,481, target Rs 4,850, stop Rs 4,300.

All nine calls are bullish, and all are built on chart patterns, moving averages and momentum readings rather than company fundamentals. Moneycontrol notes that the views belong to the analysts, not the publication, and advises readers to consult certified experts before acting. The stop-losses are the part to watch: they mark where each analyst's reading would be considered wrong.
