The momentum indicator, RSI, has recently provided a positive crossover, confirming the bullish sentiment," said Kunal Shah, Senior technical and Derivative analyst at LKP.

CDSL share price target

LTP: Rs 1,882.45 | SL: Rs 1,750 An analyst from Prabhudas Lilladher (PL) has selected Central Depository Services (India) Ltd shares in its stock recommendations. He has given a 'Buy' call on the counter with target prices of Rs 2,000-2,170 per share. The stock has surged 66.92% in a year. "CDSL has witnessed a strong rally run in the last two months. We can anticipate for a further rise in the coming days for next targets of Rs 2,000 and Rs 2,170 levels visible. The crucial support zone would be maintained near Rs 1,750," said Shiju Koothupalakkal, Technical Research Analyst at PL.

REC share price target

LTP: Rs 436 | SL: Rs 407 The analyst from PL has also included REC Ltd shares in his stock picks with a 'Buy' call for targets of Rs 475-492. The multibagger scrip has rallied 252.04% in the past one year. "The stock has been in a strong uptrend since the last 7-8 months. We suggest to buy the stock keeping stop loss placed at Rs 407 and expecting targets of Rs 475-492 levels in the near future. At the same time, a decisive breach below Rs 395 shall negate the mentioned view," Koothupalakkal from PL stated.

Nifty outlook

"Nifty's swift recovery following two bearish days indicates continued dominance by the bulls. The present sentiment suggests a promising trajectory towards 21,800-21,850 for the index. If it surpasses 21,850, we might anticipate a further climb toward 22,000. Notably, Nifty appears to have a short-term support level around 21,500. A downward shift would likely initiate only if it falls below this mark. Until then, it seems favorable for buyers to take advantage of market dips," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
