CHANDAN TAPARIA, HEAD – DERIVATIVES & TECHNICALS, WEALTH MANAGEMENT, MOTILAL OSWAL FINANCIAL SERVICES
Nifty has formed a higher-top, higher-bottom structure, reclaimed its 20-day average and sustained above 23,000. A Morning Star pattern, rising RSI and support at 22,786 keep the outlook bullish, with 23,400–23,500 as the next upside zone.
Nifty Strategy: For the October 27 monthly expiry, buy one lot of the 23,200-strike call and sell one lot of the 23,400-strike call. The bull call spread has a maximum risk of 70 points (Rs 4,550 per lot) and a maximum potential profit of 130 points (Rs 8,450 per lot).

Coforge: Buy | CMP: Rs 1,951 | Target: Rs 2,070 | Stop loss: Rs 1,890

HITESH RATHI, TECHNICAL ANALYST (EQUITY & DERIVATIVES), ANGEL ONE
Bank Nifty is approaching the 56,000–56,100 band, which previously acted as support and is now expected to pose resistance. The zone also coincides with the 50-day exponential moving average and the 20-week and 50-week exponential moving averages, creating a confluence of resistance.
Bank Nifty Strategy: Sell on rallies towards 56,100– 56,200, with a stop loss at 56,600 and targets at 55,500–55,400.
TOP STOCKS FOR THE WEEK
Indian Hotels: Buy | CMP: Rs 772 | Target: Rs 880–885 | Stop loss: Rs 704
A breakout above a major falling trendline and consolidation range signals a potential uptrend, with a multi-brick Renko breakout further reinforcing the bullish setup.
Supreme Industries: Buy | CMP: Rs 3,602 | Target: Rs 3,870–3,880 | Stop loss: Rs 3,370.
The Rs 3,200–3,290 band remains strong support, with buying interest reflected in a bullish anchor column. A bullish 100% pole and a turtle breakout on the 0.25% times 3 daily Point and Figure chart indicate improving short-term momentum.

Nifty has rebounded from 22,180 and is testing its 40-day average, with support at 22,800–22,550 and resistance at 23,475– 23,600. Bank Nifty trades in a narrow range, but momentum is bullish; a move above 56,056 could target 56,550–56,925, while support lies at 55,400–55,500.
Nifty Strategy: Buy on dips towards 22,800, with targets at 23,475–23,600. The quoted stop loss of 23,550 on a closing basis requires confirmation, as it is above the stated buying level.
Bank Nifty Strategy: Buy at the current market price or on dips towards 55,400–55,500, with a stop loss at 55,000 on a closing basis and targets at 56,500–56,925.
