NEW DELHI: Fridays rally brought back smiles in the market, but they faded quickly on Monday as stocks developed cold feet amid weak global cues.

Asian shares plunged, as the spectre of trade war returned after the US President said fresh tariffs on China are a possibility.

The rupee, too, failed to hold the strength it had shown on Friday and slipped amid dollar buying by banks and importers. At 9:30 am, the domestic unit traded 28 paise lower at 73.86.

However, amid all the uncertainty and volatility, analysts said there are stock-specific opportunities across sectors. Based on various brokerage recommendations, we compiled a list of top 10 stocks that are expected to log gains over the next three weeks.

Cummins India| Buy| Target price: Rs 727| Stop loss: Rs 657

This counter appears to have made a short-term bottom around Rs 642 level ahead of the market and formed a Bullish Engulfing pattern on the weekly charts, perhaps pointing towards the beginning of a short-term uptrend. Sustaining above Thursdays low of Rs 661, the stock is expected to retrace at least 50 per cent of its last leg of fall from the high of Rs 800 and test its 200-day moving average. Therefore, it looks like a good opportunity for positional traders to buy it for an initial target of Rs 727, with a stop of Rs 657.

ITC| Buy| Target price: Rs 297| Stop loss: Rs 260

Recent correction almost pushed this stock back to where it had started a decent upward move in the recent past from the lows of Rs 259 – 322 levels. This proves a better entry point once again. Fridays strong rally accompanied by a Hammer formation on the weekly chart is pointing towards the beginning of a short-term uptrend. Hence, sustaining above the recent lows if the pullback materialises in the broader market, then this counter shall retrace at least 62 per cent of its entire fall from the recent high of Rs 322. Positional traders should buy the stock for a target of Rs 297 with a stop at Rs 260.

State Bank of India| Buy| Target price: Rs 290| Stop loss: Rs 257

This counter appears to have bottomed out around Rs 253 on September 21 itself, and for last couple of sessions, it was consolidating around Rs 260 level. Hence, positional traders are advised to make use of this consolidation as on any pullback attempt, it can initially target Rs 280 level and thereafter rally towards Rs 290 level. The stop loss for this trade should be at Rs 257.

Place a stop loss at Rs 300 on a closing basis,” Prabhu said.

The stock has completed a major Three Wave decline from Rs 205 to Rs 182, which is a major “Wave B”, and now it is in the process of “Wave C” upward, which could ideally make a new higher high above the previous swing high of Rs 205. The stock is rebounding from 75 per cent retracement of last rising leg started from Rs 174 to Rs 205.
