Stocks to buy for short term: From Swiggy to Biocon— Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi suggests 3 stock picks
The Indian stock market may remain volatile this week, tracking news flows surrounding Israel and Iran and ahead of the US Fed policy decision on June 18.
On the technical front, the Nifty 50 is now below 24,750, and experts see key support for the index at 24,450.
"The index ended last week with over a 1 per cent loss. Notably, the reversal occurred precisely near the 161.8 per cent Golden Ratio extension, reinforcing it as a strong resistance. A break below 24,450 could extend the fall toward 24,000," said Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers.
"Traders are advised to stay cautious, avoid aggressive longs, and use relief rallies to lighten positions unless fresh momentum emerges. 25,200–25,300 is the key resistance zone, while 24,450–24,000 is the key support," Patel said.
Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of Swiggy, Biocon and Route Mobile for the next two to three weeks.
Swiggy recently broke out of a falling channel and touched ₹ 376, indicating bullish momentum.
Over the past five sessions, it has seen mild correction but found support at the monthly R3 Camarilla pivot.
Notably, the stock had consolidated between R3 and S3 pivots from March to May, a setup that often precedes strong directional moves.
This technical structure suggests potential for further upside.
"Consider long positions in the ₹ 355–345 zone, targeting ₹ 390. Maintain a stop loss at ₹ 330 on a daily closing basis," said Patel. Swiggy stock technical chart
Biocon recently broke out of a consolidation zone between ₹ 330–345 and is now trading well above it, signalling renewed strength.
On the monthly floor pivot, an inside value relationship between May and June (R1–S1) suggests potential for an explosive move.
The breakout was supported by a volume surge and a breach of the short-term falling trendline, reinforcing bullish sentiment.
Additionally, RSI held steady in the 40–50 range during consolidation and now hovers around 65.
"Go long in the ₹ 356–350 range, targeting ₹ 390. Maintain a stop loss at ₹ 335 on a daily closing basis," Patel said. Biocon stock technical chart
Recently, Route Mobile broke out after nearly a month of consolidation, accompanied by a significant surge in volume, indicating strong accumulation.
What makes this consolidation phase notable is that it occurred within the R3–S3 zone of the monthly Camarilla pivots, establishing an Inside Value relationship.
This setup forms when the current month's pivots are nested within the previous month's range, often signalling a potential breakout with strong directional bias.
Adding to the bullish case, the daily RSI has consistently held above the 60 level and is now positioned at 71, reflecting strengthening momentum.
"We recommend a buying opportunity in the ₹ 1,090-1,060 zone, with a target price of ₹ 1,220. Maintain a stop loss at ₹ 1,000 on a daily closing basis," said Patel. Route Mobile stock technical chart

With new energy, JSW Group gets ready to disrupt EV market
Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group has set up a dedicated automotive vertical-JSW Motors. This will be an umbrella platform under which the group will launch passenger cars focussed on new energy vehicles at an investment of up to $3 billion over the next five years with launches set to begin in the second half of FY26. It will be separate from the group's joint venture with China's SAIC, JSW MG Motor India. JSW Motors is in talks with three-four companies across Italy, Germany, South Korea and China for collaborations to design and develop these cars, which will be sold under the JSW brand, newly appointed chief executive officer Ranjan Nayak told ET in his first media interview. All vehicles will be made in India, with the earmarked resources deployed for commissioning the manufacturing facility, research and development. JSW's automotive hub, spread across 630 acres, is coming up at Bidkin in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra. Elaborating on the expansion strategy, Nayak said JSW Motors is aiming to disrupt the domestic electric vehicle (EV) market by manufacturing "world class automotive products in the country" by leveraging the best technologies from across the globe, including Italy, Germany, South Korea and China, and combining that with India's own strengths in robust supply chain and digital integration. "We are looking at rapidly scaling up our in-house automotive technology, and not remain dependent on any external entity. Our integrated approach allows us to combine global excellence with local relevance, ensuring high performance, affordability and sustainability," Nayak said, adding, "Our first New Energy Vehicle (NEV) under the JSW badge will hit the roads in the second half of FY2026." Nayak said JSW Motors is drawing on "the unique strengths of industry-leading partners" from around the world, without specifying details of the companies it is collaborating with. "We will be combining the craftsmanship and aesthetics of Italian designers and the German precision in manufacturing and engineering with the advanced welding technologies from South Korea and China's expertise in electric propulsion systems, battery innovation and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) technologies with that of the Indian IT sector's deep capabilities in software and digital integration," said Nayak. He declined to share details of the investments the JSW Group has scheduled for its automotive venture. However, industry sources said the group has lined up an investment to the tune of $2-3 billion in its automotive business over the next five years. Similar to its strategy in the steel sector, JSW intends to "energize the auto ecosystem-spurring suppliers and competitors to rise with us" to accelerate India's shift to clean mobility and reduce its dependence on oil, said Nayak, who is also executive vice president and head, corporate strategy, JSW Group. "Our aim is to push New Energy Vehicle penetration to 50%, offering affordable, world-class electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles," he said. Nayak said China is at the forefront of EV and hybrid vehicle innovation and has become an integral part of the global automotive supply chain. As the world rapidly shifts toward sustainable mobility, technologies such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), pioneered by Chinese automakers, are redefining the industry landscape. By combining the best global technologies with India's own strengths, JSW Motors intends to bring high-quality, technologically advanced, energy efficient and environmentally responsible vehicles. This approach will deliver "unmatched value to Indian customers and propel the country towards a more secure, sustainable and self-reliant automotive future," he said. "Like global industry leaders-including those from Europe, America (like Tesla and GM), and Japan-we embrace relevant advancements from China and other innovation hubs, integrating them within India's ecosystem. Promoting EV, PHEV and hybrid technologies is also critical from an energy security standpoint." he said.

Markets on edge as 4th weekly loss sets cautious tone
Mumbai: Factors like the upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting, ongoing corporate earnings, and release of important economic data such as Industrial Production (IIP) and HSBC Manufacturing PMI will play a major role in shaping Indian stock market sentiment next week. On Friday, the markets ended lower for the second straight session, with both benchmark indices -- the Sensex and Nifty -- posting steep losses. The Sensex fell 786 points intra-day to 81,397.69, while the Nifty slipped nearly 1 per cent to touch 24,806.35. The broader market also witnessed selling, with mid-cap and small-cap indices dropping up to 2 per cent. Looking ahead, global developments will also be crucial. The US Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting on July 29–30. Most traders expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged, but any comments on inflation or future policy moves will be closely watched by markets worldwide. On the trade front, the Ministry of External Affairs said India and the US are working on the first phase of a Bilateral Trade Agreement to improve market access and reduce tariff barriers. Back home, earnings from key companies such as IndusInd Bank, Tata Steel, ITC, Sun Pharma, and Maruti Suzuki India are expected next week. Their performance will give investors more clarity on sectoral strength and overall corporate health, as per the experts. As the new month begins, investors will also keep an eye on economic indicators. The Industrial Production (IIP) data and HSBC Manufacturing PMI, both due on August 1, could provide fresh cues on the health of the Indian economy. According to experts, the market is likely to remain volatile next week, with investors watching for cues from global central banks, earnings reports, and domestic economic data. Meanwhile, in the previous week , the benchmarks ended the week lower -- marking the fourth consecutive weekly loss. The Nifty closed at 24,837.00, while the Sensex settled at 81,463.09.
