| AIA Engineering | Sell | Target Price: Rs 2,410 | Stop Loss: Rs 2,626 |
Over the past many weeks, the stock price has seen a formation of a complex head and shoulders. Thus, a breakdown can trigger a potential down move in the stock by close to 5.78 per cent. The stock price is very close to the neckline forming a long bearish candlestick. This price set-up adds to the bearishness in the stock. Following this price move, the stock price is moving below the 50-day MA and 100-day MA which indicates that the near-term trend of the stock is bearish. The price move was accompanied by an increase in volume. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also breached the horizontal trendline support which indicates further weakness in the stock. Thus, a pattern of complex head and shoulders, RSI breaching from the horizontal trendline, an increase in volume, and price moving below multiple moving averages lay the ground for a possible decline in the price. Any price move above Rs 2,626 can be considered to move out of the stock.

| Power Finance Corporation | Buy | Target Price: Rs 175 |
The stock has generated a breakout above the falling supply line joining the highs of Nov 2011 and April 2017 signaling resumption of up move and offers fresh entry opportunity. The breakout is supported by a strong volume of signaling larger participation at the breakout area. The weekly MACD is in a strong up trend and is trading well above the zero line thus validating positive bias. Hence one can expect the stock to maintain positive bias and head towards Rs 175 levels as it happens to be the 138.2 per cent external retracement of the recent breather.
