    Market saw selling pressure on Thursday, and ended up forming a small bearish candle on the daily chart with a long upper wick. The formation of such a pattern a day after breaching two key hurdles suggests a false breakout, said analysts. "Given the current technical setup, Nifty is likely to stay and trade in a defined range in the coming session. We recommend approaching the market with a selective approach," said Milan Vaishnav, CMT, MSTA, is a Consulting Technical Analyst and founder of Gemstone Equity Research & Advisory Services.Based on recommendations from different analysts, here are stocks that have the potential of delivering gains in the short term.

    Infosys | BUY | Target Price: Rs 1,030
    2/9

    Infosys | BUY | Target Price: Rs 1,030

    The stock is in a secular uptrend and forming a higher peak and higher trough in all time frame. After a strong rally in June-July, it entered a consolidation phase in the last seven weeks thus forming a higher base for the next leg of the up move. The stock is currently placed at the cusp of the breakout above the last seven weeks range and thus offers fresh entry opportunity for the target of Rs 1030 as it is the 161.8% external retracement of the recent consolidation (Rs 985-912); maintain a stoploss of Rs 944 on a closing basis.[Analyst: Dharmesh Shah, Head – Technical, ICICIdirect]

    Tata Motors | BUY | Target Price: Rs 159
    3/9

    Tata Motors | BUY | Target Price: Rs 159

    The stock after a breather over the last few days has resumed fresh up move taking support around Rs 135-140 range. It is at the confluence of the lower band of the rising channel placed since July low and the rising 20 days EMA (currently at 138) which has acted as major value area since May 2020 low. Hence, the risk-reward looks favourable for the next leg of up move towards Rs 159 levels being the 123.6% external retracement of the recent breather; maintain a stop loss of Rs 141 levels on a closing basis.[Analyst: Dharmesh Shah, Head – Technical, ICICIdirect]

    Pidilite Industries | BUY | Target Price: Rs 1,580
    4/9

    Pidilite Industries | BUY | Target Price: Rs 1,580

    The stock has recently generated a breakout above the last four months triangular consolidating pattern signalling a resumption of the fresh up move and offers fresh entry opportunity. The weekly MACD has entered the positive territory and is seen sustaining above its nine period’s average, supporting the positive bias in the stock. We expect the stock to continue with its positive momentum and head towards Rs 1,580 levels being the confluence of the high of April 2020 and the 80% retracement of the entire decline of March 2020; maintain a stop loss at Rs 1,415 level on a closing basis.[Analyst: Dharmesh Shah, Head – Technical, ICICIdirect]
