Here's what Jatin Gohil, Technical Analyst at Reliance Securities, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today: 
 
Divi’s Laboratories: Buy at current levels 
 
After witnessing a reversal from higher levels, the stock took support around its upward sloping 20-week EMA. The stock respected the moving average and resumed its northward journey. 
 
On 4th of Oct’21, the stock witnessed price volume action and recorded a new high of Rs5,315.50. A rise in the future open interest signals that major participants are in favour of the bulls. 
 
The stock has the potential to move towards Rs6,000 in the medium term. A fresh long position can be initiated at the current juncture and on dips towards Rs5,050 for a probable up-move. 
 
In case of decline, its 20-week EMA will continue to work as strong support, which is currently placed at around Rs4,742. 
 
Astral: Buy at current levels  

On the 1st of Oct’21, the stock gave a breakout from a narrow range of consolidation (Rs2,150-2,025) and extended gain subsequently. 
 
Due to the follow-up move the stock managed to record a new high of Rs2,415 on 4th of Oct’21. The volumes rose to a 6-month high and future open interest (OI) increased by 50 per cent. 
 
The key technical indicators are positively poised on short-term as well as medium-term timeframe charts. As per the current set-up, the stock will keep exploring uncharted territory. 
 
This could take the stock towards Rs2,800 initially and Rs3,000 subsequently. 
 
A fresh long position can be initiated at the current juncture and on dips towards Rs2,280 for a probable up-move. In case of decline, the stock will find support at around Rs 2,000. 

Solar Industries: Partial profit-booking 
 
Since May’21, the stock ended the month on a positive note and reported a gain of 98 per cent so far. The key moving averages are sloping upwards on short-term and medium-term timeframe charts. 
 
Its major technical indicators are positively poised, but placed at around their bull market overbought zone. 
 
Though the overall trend is bullish, risk-reward is not favorable for a fresh long position at this juncture. Historically, the stock slipped into a time-wise correction zone after such a sharp rise. 
 
Partial profit booking is advised for existing long positions. As we believe that undergoing positive momentum may continue for the short term.
