Here's what Amol Athawale, Deputy Vice President - Technical Research, Kotak Securities Ltd, recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:

Inox Leisure:
The stock rallied over 6 percent on March 25. On Friday, the stock opened with a strong note and registered a fresh 52-week high of Rs 496.80 with strong volume activity. Despite weak market conditions, it maintained its strong momentum throughout the day. On the short-term time frame, the stock has formed a strong price volume breakout pattern. The texture of the pattern suggests breakout action will continue in the near term if stock succeeds in trading above Rs 455 level. For the swing traders, Rs 455 would be the sacrosanct level, trading above the same we could expect uptrend continuation wave up to Rs 500-525.

Indian Hotels
The stock made a fresh all-time high of Rs 235.80 on Friday.  In this month so far, it rallied over 16 percent. The important point is stock not only surpassed its short-term resistance of Rs 220, but also succeeded in closing above the same. On the daily and weekly charts, the stock is holding higher high and higher low series formation, which is broadly positive for the Indian Hotel Ltd. However, on short-term time frame, momentum indicators indicate that stock is in the overbought zone and high chances of quick short-term price correction is not ruled out if it trades below Rs 215. For the next few trading session Rs 215 would be the trend decider level for the bulls, sustain above the same, we could expect continuation of uptrend up to Rs 250-265.  On the flip side, dismissal of Rs 215 could possibly trigger quick short-term correction till Rs 210-200.  

GMDC
In this quarter so far, the stock has rallied over 155%. Post 85 price volume breakout, the stock was soaring rapidly. The sharp surge in the price surprised most of the traders as well as investors. The medium-term texture of the chart is positive and likely to continue in the near term. However, in the short-term time frame stock is in to the overbought zone and profit booking is not ruled out if stock trades below 170 level. On the flip side, above 170 uptrend formation likely continue up to 200 -215. Due to temporary overbought situation, traders may prefer to take a cautious stance near 200 resistance level.
