This analyst is bullish on Media, Defence; recommends these 2 stocks
Sector Outlook: Nifty Media & Nifty Defence Likely to Outperform in the Coming Weeks
Nifty Media – Bullish Breakout Signals Upside Potential
Nifty Media has recently broken out above a key resistance level and shows potential for further upside towards 1,740, followed by 1,870. The index is trading comfortably above both the 50 EMA (Fast) and 200 EMA (Slow), reinforcing its bullish trend.
Stock in Focus: Network 18 Media
Network 18 Media is showing an attractive setup above ₹50, with an upside potential towards ₹54–₹56, provided it sustains above the support level of ₹48. The stock has formed a classic Adam and Eve breakout pattern, with the neckline at ₹49.90. A breakout above this level, supported by increasing volumes, indicates strong buying interest.
Recommendation
Buy at: ₹50 Stop Loss: ₹48 Target Price: ₹54–₹56
Nifty Defence – Still Has Fuel Left for Higher Levels
Nifty Defence still has fuel left in the tank and shows potential to move higher towards 9,500 levels. The recent retracement to the 21-EMA, followed by a strong bounce, suggests that this level will act as a key support going forward.
Stock in Focus: Cochin Shipyard
Cochin Shipyard recently broke out of an Eve pattern, and a successful throwback to the neckline is offering a fresh buying opportunity with a favorable risk-reward setup. The stock is trading above all major EMAs, indicating a strong bullish structure. Momentum indicators further support this view: RSI remains in the bullish zone, highlighting positive momentum. Directional Index (DI+) is above (DI-), and a rising Average Directional Index (ADX) confirms strength in the ongoing uptrend.
Recommendation
Buy Range: ₹1,884–₹1,890 Stop Loss: ₹1,680 Target Price: ₹2,200–₹2,500

Commodity Radar: How to trade gold ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting on August 15?
Gold prices slipped sharply on Monday in the opening trade, falling by Rs 900 or 1% per 10 gram, tracking movement in the international markets. The traders booked profit ahead of the crucial meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled on August 15 in Alaska. A resolution to Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine could dampen the safe haven appeal of the yellow, triggering profit taking. ADVERTISEMENT Gold's October contracts were trading at Rs 1,00,958, down from last week's all-time high of Rs 1,02,250. On the COMEX, the fall was even sharper as this bullion metal fell 1.5% to $3,438.40 per troy ounce. Commenting on the current trends, Jateen Trivedi, Vice President - Commodity Research Cat LKP Securities said that gold has been showing strength over the past couple of weeks as softer US non-farm payroll data and higher unemployment figures signaled a potential September rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Additionally, fresh tariff measures by Trump have increased safe-haven demand, he said. Trivedi sees the upcoming Trump–Putin meeting on August 15 as an important event as a resolution to the Russia–Ukraine conflict could trigger profit booking in gold. Among the domestic factors, rupee weakness against the dollar amid the ongoing tariff uncertainty may lend additional support to domestic gold prices. ADVERTISEMENT Gold continued its positive momentum last week, closing above the crucial Rs 1,01,700 zone. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at Rs 1,02,700, followed by Rs 1,03,200. On the downside, strong support lies at Rs 1,01,200 and Rs 1,00,500. A sustained close above Rs 1,02,700 could open the way toward Rs 1,03,500 in the near term. ADVERTISEMENT The RSI (14) is currently at 64.70, indicating bullish momentum without yet being in overbought territory. This suggests there is room for further upside before profit booking pressure action is trading near the upper Bollinger band, reflecting strong buying interest. However, being close to the upper band also hints at possible short-term consolidation if profit booking emerges. ADVERTISEMENT The short-term EMA (8) is trading above the medium-term EMA (21), confirming bullish crossover and supporting a positive bias for the week ahead. ADVERTISEMENT MACD is in the positive territory and widening, indicating strong bullish momentum and supporting further upside overall setup remains bullish, said Trivedi, recommending a buy on dips near Rs 1,01,200 with a stop loss at Rs 1,00,450 on a closing for the week are Rs 1,02,000 and Rs 1,02,500. In Trivedi's view, any sustained move above Rs 1,03,200 could see an extended rally toward Rs 1,03,500.

ITC Hotels to Waaree Energies: This analyst lists 3 stocks to buy to beat Trump tariff heat, pegs Nifty target at 26,200
The Indian stock market is stuck in a range as tariffs imposed by Donald Trump have pushed investors to the sidelines. However, Shiju Koothupalakkal, Technical Research Analyst at PL Capital, believes certain counters can provide solid returns in the next 3-4 months despite the uncertain market environment. He also remains bullish on the Nifty 50, expecting the index to hit the 26,200 zone by the end of the current calendar year, provided the 200-period SMA zone at 24,000 is sustained in the coming days. Edited excerpts: Indian stock market's bull run seems to be ageing. What does the Nifty setup look like and likely target for 2025-end? The Indian stock market's bull run might be "ageing" since the index has been losing momentum and witnessed some erosion from the 25,660 zone, with the bias getting weak. But it has been holding on to the crucial support zone at the 24,500 level, which needs to be sustained. The index has a major support near the 200-period SMA level at 24,000, which, if decisively breached below, shall weaken the overall trend and can trigger further profit booking with sentiment getting negative. For the year-end 2025, we shall consider the initial Nifty 50 target of 26,200 zone provided the 200-period SMA zone at 24,000 is sustained in the coming days. IT index bled nearly 10% in July amid a tepid Q1 earnings season. Do you see chances of more downside? IT index has underperformed, hovering near the 34,500 zone. In the last 3 months, it has seen slipping down below the important 50-EMA at 38,100 level and 100-period SMA at 37,000 zone with the bias weakening and signalling furthermore slide in the coming days. The 32,700 zone is the next important support level for the Nifty IT index. For the bias to improve, the index needs to move past the confluence of the important 50-EMA and 100-period SMA at the 36,700 zone, which can establish some conviction and thereafter, can anticipate for further upward move. The market has been rattled by Trump's tariff tantrum. Can you recommend 3-4 stocks investors can consider for solid returns in next 2-3 months? Sure, Trump's Tariff tantrum is haunting the Indian market players, especially for the sectors which have exposure to the country's exports. But still, there are some stocks which can yield good returns in the next 3-4 months. The stock has indicated a decent pick up from the important 50EMA at the 2800 level, improving the bias and picked up significantly with indication of a breakout above the previous peak zone 2960 level, strengthening the trend and anticipating further rise in the coming days. The RSI has gained strength and can carry on with the positive move further ahead. With the chart technically looking attractive, we can expect higher targets 3270 and 3440 levels, keeping the stop loss at the 2800 level. The stock has witnessed a gradual pick up maintaining the support near the important 50EMA zone at 2995 level and once a decisive breach above 3340 zone is confirmed, then shall trigger for further fresh upward move for next targets of 3600 and 3760 levels with the RSI currently well positioned maintaining the positive bias and has much upside potential to carry on with the positive move further ahead. With the chart technically looking good, we expect further gains, keeping the stop loss at the 2900 zone. The stock has been on a rising trend, maintaining a strong uptrend with a series of higher bottom formations on the daily chart, sustaining above the important 50EMA zone at the 224 level, taking support and indicating a pullback to anticipate for further gains. Technically, the chart set-up is quite appealing, and currently, with the RSI well positioned correcting from the overbought zone has indicated a buy signal with much upside potential visible. From the current rate, keeping the stop loss of 224, one can expect further gains having targets of 264 and 287 levels in the coming days. Which sector do you find on the cusp of a breakout for possible solid returns? From a technical perspective, most of the agro-based stocks are performing well and are expected to carry on with the positive move further ahead. Also, select auto stocks are performing well with good fundamentals supporting the rationale. Among the sectors, there are mixed views among the individual stocks, so one can go for select stocks which have eroded quite significantly and with technical parameters improving and suggesting a positive signal accompanied by good fundamentals. Nifty Defence index is on back foot now after a stellar run. What's your view? The defence stocks after the strong run-up have witnessed a decent erosion to the tune of 25 to 30% from the peak zone, and currently are trading with a weak bias. No doubt, the stocks have become attractive, but still, technically, a positive turnaround with a decent pullback is awaited to get much clarity and conviction.
