Jigar Patel Recommends Castrol, HDFC Life and Gabriel Short-Term
The stock market has been falling for six weeks in a row.
Several things are making investors nervous, including expensive crude oil, global tensions and possible interest-rate increases.
Jigar Patel says the Nifty may find support between 23,000 and 23,100.
He also says the market could improve if it moves above 23,700.
Patel recommended three stocks for short-term traders.
Castrol India has a target of ₹215.
HDFC Life has a target of ₹580.
Gabriel India has a target of ₹1,410, but each recommendation includes a price level to limit losses.
The Nifty recorded its sixth consecutive weekly decline amid crude prices, geopolitical tensions, rate-hike concerns and weak retail liquidity.
Jigar S. Patel identified 23,000–23,100 as key Nifty support and 23,500–23,700 as immediate resistance.
Patel recommended Castrol India at ₹195–₹197, targeting ₹215 with a stop loss at ₹186.
HDFC Life was recommended at ₹540–₹550, with a ₹580 target and ₹530 closing-basis stop loss.
Gabriel India was recommended at ₹1,300–₹1,320, targeting ₹1,410 with a stop loss at ₹1,260.

“The combination of prolonged consolidation, support from the 200-week EMA and a breakout with improving RSI makes the technical structure constructive. Traders can monitor the breakout zone for sustained price action, as holding above this area would strengthen the possibility of further upside.”
