Shares to buy: HAL, SAIL, Canara Bank, BEL among 11 stocks that may rise 8-17% in the next 3-4 weeks, say analysts

Shares to buy: Rising for the third consecutive week, the frontline index Nifty 50 rose about 1.5 per cent for the week ended Friday, September 27, primarily driven by optimism regarding the US Fed rate cuts. China’s economic stimulus announcement also contributed to positive market sentiment.

According to Amol Athawale, VP of technical research at Kotak Securities, a bullish candle on weekly charts and uptrend continuation formation on daily and intraday charts indicate further uptrend from the current levels.

"We believe that the current market texture is bullish, but buying on dips and selling on rallies would be the ideal strategy for the short-term traders," said Athawale.

"26,100/85,300 and 26,000/85,000 would act as key support zones while 26,400-26,500/85,900-86,300 would act as crucial resistance areas for the bulls. The sentiment could change below 26,000/85,000, and traders may prefer to exit the long trading positions," Athawale said.

While Q2 earnings and global cues will influence market sentiment, experts say one must be prudent in stock selection and bet on only quality stocks. They recommend buying these 11 stocks, expecting them to rise 8-17 per cent in the next three to four weeks. Take a look:

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) | Previous close: ₹4,474.15 | Buying range: ₹4,450- ₹4,500 | Target price: ₹4,900 | Stop loss: ₹4,260 | Upside potential: 10%

HAL rose to ₹4,950 on September 4, 2024. Since then, the stock has experienced a notable decline, losing around 748 points, or approximately 16 per cent of its value.

This decline has brought the stock back into a crucial demand zone, suggesting potential buying interest at this level.

On the weekly chart, HAL has formed a bullish Harami candlestick pattern, which is typically seen as a reversal signal, indicating a potential for an upward movement in price.

Furthermore, on the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has created a V-shaped impulsive structure around the 30 level, signifying that the stock is in the oversold zone.

This RSI pattern is notable as it surpassed its previous swing high, adding further bullish sentiment.

This steep decline has brought the stock back into a critical demand zone, where buyers will likely emerge, showing potential for a rebound.

ONGC has formed a double bottom pattern on the daily chart, which is a bullish reversal signal.

Additionally, there is a bullish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), further reinforcing the likelihood of an upward move.

The triple bottom pattern has developed near the 200-day exponential moving average (DEMA), further appealing to the stock.

The broader trend remains bullish, as evidenced by the formation of higher highs and higher lows.

The bullish crossover between the 10-day and 21-day EMAs further supports the outlook for continued upward momentum.

Additionally, the MACD indicator has generated a positive signal, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and the histogram reflecting a positive trend.

Prices are now in a buy-on-dip mode, with any pullback toward the 21-day EMA likely to attract renewed buying interest.

Gujarat Gas | Previous close: ₹610.80 | Buying price: ₹610 | Target price: ₹662, ₹668 | Stop loss: ₹583 | Upside potential: 9%

Prices form an ascending triangle on the daily chart, a bullish continuation pattern that signals the likely extension of the prevailing upward trend.

Currently, prices are trading near the lower boundary of the triangle, with a bullish-engulfing candlestick pattern emerging on the daily chart.

In addition to this positive development, prices are finding strong support near the 150-day EMA, which has historically served as a critical support level.

The recent rebound from the rising support line and the 150-day EMA further strengthens the case for a resumption of the bullish trend, with potential upside targets of ₹662 and ₹668.

On the downside, immediate support is seen at ₹584. Additionally, the 14-day RSI has sharply reversed just above the oversold territory and is now forming higher highs, suggesting strengthening momentum.
