The market is experiencing significant volatility on Thursday due to uncertainties and nervousness surrounding the Budget. Nifty has formed piercing candles on two consecutive days reflecting the indecisiveness. A clearer picture of the market’s future trend should emerge once the budget-related uncertainties settle.

However, three stocks have formed a strong setup on the technical charts presenting an appealing risk-to-reward ratio. They can be considered for swing trading with a holding period of four to six weeks.

HDFC AMC has been in a great trend since April last year and the stock has more than doubled since then. The level of 3380 was a major resistance for the stock. After breaking this level the stock consolidated for a while.

HDFC AMC has now broken this range in continuation of the larger trend. The daily RSI for the stock is 68 indicating the stock is in good momentum and has a good upside potential.
