Bulls turned stronger and helped the Nifty50 decisively break consolidation range of 17,000-17,450 levels in the week ended April 1. The index also surpassed 17,600 levels and returned to pre-Ukraine war levels on first day of April series and financial year 2023. Declining oil prices amid positive developments in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia and release of US oil reserves, falling volatility, and buying by foreign institutional investors pushed the market higher.

The index gained more than one percent on Friday and surged three percent in the last week to close at 17,670 forming a bullish candle on weekly and daily charts, indicating positive momentum which experts feel can take the index towards crucial 18,000 levels in the coming days.

The volatility also cooled off significantly and fell below the 20 mark, indicating stability in the market. Participants among sectors in the last week’s rally included banks, financial services, auto, FMCG, and infrastructure.

“Now since the banking space has taken the charge again, the rally should be considered healthy and due to this we will not be surprised to see 17,800 or even the psychological mark of 18,000 in the forthcoming week,” says Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives, Angel One.

On the flipside, he says 17,500 followed by 17,350 should now provide decent support. “Considering the ongoing momentum, any intra-week decline in the mentioned support zone should be used as a buying opportunity.”

Hence, along with frontline movers, traders should focus more on ‘cash’ segment stocks, which are all geared up to make a real move in coming days, he advises.

Here are the top 10 trading ideas by experts for the next 3-4 weeks. Returns are based on April 1 closing prices:

Expert: Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail) at Kotak Securities

Coforge: Buy | LTP: Rs 4,415 | Stop-Loss: Rs 4,000 | Target: Rs 5,500 | Return: 25 percent

Coforge has completely completed the corrective pattern. For short term traders, Rs 4,250 would be the immediate support zone. If it succeeds to trade above the same then it could retest the level of Rs 4,750 and further upside may also continue which could lift the stock up to Rs 5,000.

Buy from current levels and buy more near Rs 4,100. We need to place a stop-loss of Rs 4,000.

Tata Motors: Buy | LTP: Rs 441 | Stop-Loss: Rs 425 | Target: Rs 490 | Return: 11 percent

The stock was consolidating between the trading range of Rs 420 and Rs 447 for the last nine days. We believe this is a continuation of the stock. In the past, Rs 440 acted as a major hurdle for the stock and on Friday the stock closed above it.

Its next levels of resistance would be at Rs 470 and Rs 490. We should be buyers at current levels. For that, place a stop-loss at Rs 425.
