Stocks to Watch Today

1. Biocon

Biocon's Q1 results came in a touch soft, and morning commentary around the print was cautious. However, the stock staged a strong recovery from its lower levels through the session.

Technical View (as discussed in today's Trader's Breakfast):

  • Formed a classic flag-pattern breakout on the daily chart.
  • The breakout was already visible on the monthly and weekly charts.
  • Stock retested the ₹400 zone and looks ready to resume its move higher.
  • Risk-reward is favourable at current levels.
  • Suggested stop loss: ₹420.
  • Structure points to a gradual move toward the ₹480–500 zone.

2. Tata Technologies

IT stocks have seen profit booking over the last two-three sessions, but Tata Technologies bucked the trend with a strong breakout, rallying roughly 6% and closing above ₹800 on the back of a healthy weekly breakout.

Technical View:

  • Fund/delivery-based buying was visible, with volumes of roughly ₹1 crore in value terms.
  • Momentum looks set to extend further from here.
  • Stock is gradually working toward the ₹900 level.
  • Yesterday's low near ₹750 should act as a good support.

3. Deccan Gold 

With gold staying constructive globally and even the US gold-miners index/ETF breaking out, Deccan Gold, the only listed play of its kind locally, is showing a matching technical breakout. Fundamentals remain weak (recent results were poor), so this is flagged purely as a high-risk trading setup, not a fundamentals-based pick.

Technical View:

  • Classic flag-formation breakout on heavy volume, around ₹2.5 crore traded value yesterday.
  • Closed near the day's high.
  • Suggested stop loss: ₹200 (on a positional basis).
  • Structure suggests the stock could stretch toward ₹330.
  • High risk, high reward: use a strict stop loss if trading this name.
