And how will it affect the index? The stock has consolidated and being part of the index, the stock can play a vital role towards catapulting the Nifty levels between 10800 and 11000. This is why this stock should be bought, he added. Larsen and Toubro is currently trading around Rs 950. With a stop loss of Rs 950 and target price of Rs 1100, this stock is a fine bet with a long term view.

Chauhan’s positional mid cap stock with a medium term view is from the insurance sector. Many stocks in this space have been doing well. He recommends a Buy on ICICI Prudential as the stock is trading with a good momentum. The price retracement of this stock has been good, he adds. While it has been seeing a reversal trend on a monthly and weekly basis, today it also saw a daily reversal. The stock is currently trading at Rs 434. He puts the stop loss at Rs 405.

ICICI Prudential stock should be bought at current levels with a 30-45 day view. The target price is Rs 480.
