Three breakout stocks to add to your watchlist

By Brijesh Bhatia

The January Futures and Options (F&O) expiry ended on a sour note, with the benchmark indices suffering a decline of nearly 500 points, or about 2%. This downturn marked a six-month low, with heightened fear on Dalal Street, particularly as mid-cap stocks faced severe selling pressure.

With the Union Budget set to be announced on 1st February 2025, there is a prevailing expectation that market volatility will spike in the coming days.

However, amid this backdrop of pessimism, there are always pockets of opportunity. Despite the broader market slump, three stocks are emerging as potential breakout candidates, poised to shine in the longer term.

1. SRF Ltd

SRF has captured the attention of many market participants, particularly because of a remarkable long-term chart pattern.

On the weekly chart, the stock has broken out of a horizontal channel that lasted for an impressive 179 weeks, marking a multi-year consolidation phase. This breakout is particularly exciting due to the Fibonacci Time Cycle, as the stock broke out in the 179th week, which is closely related to the Fibonacci number of 178.60.

Interestingly, SRF achieved its highest-ever closing on 30th January 2025, and the stock is now poised to break its previous all-time high of ₹2,865. If the stock pushes through this resistance level, it could trigger a stellar rally, outperforming the benchmark indices and potentially rewarding investors with significant returns.

2. Zensar Technologies

Zensar Technologies is another stock showing strong bullish potential. On the weekly chart, Zensar has recently hit a new all-time high, continuing its impressive run.

Volume is often seen as a confirming indicator of price movements, and in this case, the surge in volume adds conviction to the bullish thesis.
