Stocks to buy for short term: From Cyient to Tata Tech— Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi suggests 3 stock picks
On Monday, however, the index traded lacklustre in the morning session. Around 10:30 AM, it was 14 points up at 25,034.
Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, pointed out that since the April 2025 low of 21,800, the Nifty 50 has surged nearly 3,300 points with minimal retracement — a strong uptrend powered by renewed FII inflows and calming global cues.
Patel further said that on the technical front, a bullish golden crossover has been confirmed on the daily chart, where the 50-DEMA has crossed above the 200-DEMA — a long-term positive signal.
However, Patel emphasised that such crossovers often see brief mean reversions before the larger trend resumes. He said currently, both moving averages lie between 23,500 and 23,800 — levels that may be retested if the market cools off.
"The Nifty 50 is now testing the 161.8 per cent Fibonacci extension of the previous move — a classic golden ratio that could act as near-term resistance. With this, we expect 25,300 to act as an immediate hurdle. A failure to sustain above this level may trigger some profit-booking," said Patel.
"On the downside, support is seen in the 24,800–24,500 zone. Traders are advised to tighten stop losses, avoid aggressive longs at current levels, and look for opportunities on dips to enter fresh positions," Patel said.
Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of Cyient, Tata Technologies and JSW Energy for the next two to three weeks.
Cyient is approaching a significant technical inflection point, where a convergence of multiple technical factors suggests a potential trend reversal.
One of the most critical signals is the alignment with a 34-week time cycle—a key Fibonacci number often associated with major turning points in harmonic trading. This temporal synchronisation adds weight to the possibility of a directional change.
Supporting this, Fibonacci ratio analysis of two corrective price legs—one falling 32.18 per cent (A to B) and the other 49.43 per cent (C to D)—reveals a compelling harmonic relationship.
The ratio of 49.43/32.18 yields 1.536, which is close to the Golden Ratio of 1.618, while the inverse yields 0.651, approximating the key 0.618 level—both central to harmonic analysis.
Further reinforcing this view is the price symmetry: the absolute drop from A to B is ₹ 778.75, while the drop from C to D is ₹ 1059.55, giving ratios of approximately 1.36 and 0.734, closely matching √1.618 (1.27) and √0.618 (0.786), respectively.
These findings indicate a structurally sensitive zone where the price may stabilise or reverse.
On the daily chart, the stock has completed a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern and confirmed a breakout—a classic reversal signal in technical analysis.
"Considering this strong confluence of time, price, and pattern structure, a long position is advisable in the ₹ 1,280– ₹ 1,300 range, targeting ₹ 1,600, with a stop loss at ₹ 1,150. The setup offers an attractive risk-reward ratio, underpinned by solid harmonic and structural evidence," said Patel. Cyient stock technical chart
Tata Technologies is approaching a critical technical juncture marked by the confluence of key time cycles and Fibonacci ratios, suggesting a potential trend reversal.
The ongoing setup aligns with a 35–36-week time cycle, which is closely related to the Fibonacci number 34—a level often linked to cyclical market turning points.
Analysing the corrective structure, the stock witnessed a 30 per cent drop from point A to B, followed by a steeper 47.45 per cent correction from C to D.
The ratio of these moves stands at 1.58, nearly matching the Golden Ratio (1.618), while the inverse, 0.632, closely approximates its reciprocal (0.618).
Examining price symmetry, the decline from A to B amounted to ₹ 416.60, while the C–D leg corrected by ₹ 539, yielding a ratio of around 1.27, equivalent to the square root of 1.618.
This move also aligns with the 0.786 retracement level, which is the square root of 0.618, enhancing the harmonic confluence.
'Given this strong technical setup, a long position is recommended in the ₹ 735– ₹ 750 zone, with an upside target of ₹ 825 and a stop loss at ₹ 695 on a daily closing basis,' said Patel. Tata Technologies stock technical chart
JSW Energy has recently formed multiple bottoms in the ₹ 420– ₹ 460 range, indicating a strong support zone.
This area also aligns with the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the entire rally from February 2023 to September 2024, adding technical significance.
Additionally, a bullish divergence is visible on the daily RSI, and the stock has broken a prevailing bear trendline, reinforcing the potential for upward momentum.
"Based on this confluence of signals, a long position is recommended in the ₹ 500– ₹ 505 zone. The upside target is ₹ 575, with a stop loss placed below ₹ 475 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively," said Patel. JSW Energy stock technical chart

The RSI myth: Does this popular trading indicator actually work?
A 25-year backtest of RSI strategies across Indian indices reveals that long-only approaches yield promising results, particularly the RSI 30-70 reversal method for patient investors. Active traders may find faster RSI strategies beneficial for capital rotation. While not a magic formula, RSI proves useful when integrated into a broader, well-defined trading strategy.

Remove Ads Putting RSI to the Test: What 25 years of data revealed Long-only RSI strategies worked. Short-selling and combined long-short strategies failed to generate consistent returns. The RSI 30-70 reversal method delivered the highest average returns per trade — but signaled very few trades. Ideal for long-term, patient investors. RSI EMA Cross and RSI 50 Cross strategies generated faster, more frequent trades with smaller gains per trade — better suited for active traders focused on capital rotation. Tweaking RSI settings significantly improved performance. Longer periods (like 21-day RSI) boosted returns in reversal strategies, while shorter periods (7-day RSI) worked better for faster strategies. Key Takeaway: RSI is useful, but not foolproof (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer. The facts and opinions expressed here do not reflect the views of .) For most investors and traders, technical analysis can often feel overwhelming filled with complicated charts, patterns, and unfamiliar terms. However, one indicator has managed to cut through this complexity with its simplicity and popularity: the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ).RSI is widely used to identify when a stock or index may be 'overbought' or 'oversold', helping traders spot potential turning points in the market. Over the years, it has become a go-to tool for both beginners and experienced market participants is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and strength of recent price movements. Plotted on a scale of 0 to 100, RSI values help traders understand whether a stock or index is potentially overbought (RSI above 70) or oversold (RSI below 30). RSI near 50 is typically considered practical terms:With this logic, many traders use RSI to time their entries and exits.

The goal was clear: evaluate whether RSI-based strategies can generate consistent trading profits in Indian the world of trading, knowing when and how to use an indicator is just as important as knowing what it is. Tools like RSI are not shortcuts to success—they are decision-support mechanisms. When used thoughtfully and as part of a broader, well-defined strategy, they can help traders navigate the markets with greater discipline and structure. But relying on any single indicator in isolation is rarely a recipe for consistent 25-year backtest across India's major indices shows that RSI-based strategies can work, but not all of them perform equally.

RBI's interest rate decision, Q1 results, tariff-related news to drive markets this week: Analysts
NEW DELHI: Equity markets this week will turn their focus on the RBI's interest rate decision, Q1 earnings from several blue-chip firms and tariff-related news for further cues, analysts said. Moreover, trading activity of foreign investors and trends in global equity markets will also drive investors' sentiment. "At the domestic level, all eyes will be on the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy meeting, where the central bank's commentary on inflation, liquidity, and growth outlook will be keenly watched. On the earnings front, results from marquee companies, including Bharti Airtel, DLF, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors, State Bank of India and Life Insurance Corporation of India, will shape sectoral momentum," Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. Other important triggers include the release of HSBC services and composite PMI, crude oil price movement, and further commentary from the US on trade negotiations -- all of which are likely to influence near-term volatility, Mishra added. Trade-related concerns and persistent selling by foreign investors added to the gloom in the markets last week. Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd, said, "Looking ahead, the RBI policy meeting scheduled for August 6 will be a key event, especially amid heightened volatility from both global and domestic triggers. "Meanwhile, several major Nifty companies, including Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Trent, Titan, State Bank of India and Tata Motors, are set to report their earnings this week, which could drive stock-specific action". Last week, the BSE benchmark Sensex tanked 863.18 points or 1.05 per cent, and the NSE Nifty dropped 271.65 points or 1.09 per cent. US President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods and an unspecified penalty for trade in energy and defence goods with Russia was unexpected, and therefore, it has impacted market sentiments in the short term, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said. Indian equities are expected to remain in consolidation mode amid the imposition of US tariffs, a mixed Q1 FY26 earnings season so far, and intensifying FII outflows, Siddhartha Khemka - Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said. "On the macro front, important data to watch include the RBI and Bank of England's interest rate decisions, along with the services PMI for both the US and India," he added. On Friday, the Sensex tumbled 585.67 points or 0.72 per cent to settle at 80,599.91, and the Nifty declined 203 points or 0.82 per cent to 24,565.35. Market perception is that after the initial chaos, there will be a deal between India and the US after the next round of negotiations. A steady trend of FPI flows will emerge after the dust settles, Vijayakumar said.

This move has impacted market sentiments in the short-term, Vijayakumar said."The sharp appreciation in the dollar index to 100 is a headwind, which can impact FPI inflows in the near term.
