- Stop Loss: Rs 260
- Approx. Margin: Rs 90,055
Crompton Greaves is forming a base after a downtrend, confirming a double bottom breakout and hinting at a potential reversal. Positive RSI divergence and volume expansion suggest improving buyer participation. A decisive move above the Rs 278 zone (near the 200 EMA) could trigger further upside.

- Target Price: Rs 538
- Stop Loss: Rs 600
- Approx. Margin: Rs 1,27,700
JSW Energy maintains a bullish setup, having broken out of a long-standing declining trendline. A recent pullback with lower volumes indicates a lack of aggressive selling.
