IT stocks and Titan’s strong domestic sales powered the indices higher, while analysts emphasized the critical support at 25,000 and immediate resistance at 25,200 for the Nifty.

In this bullish environment, Jay Thakkar, Vice President & Head of Derivatives and Quant Research at ICICI Securities, has recommended three high-potential stocks in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment for short-term trading: Tata Motors, Bajaj Finance, and IndusInd Bank.

This article breaks down his insights, price ranges, stop losses, and targets, providing a clear roadmap for traders.

Jay Thakkar’s Top F&O Picks (Short-Term Recommendations)

1. Tata Motors Futures

  • Buy Range: ₹695–705

  • Stop Loss: ₹680

  • Targets: ₹730 / ₹745

Analysis:
Tata Motors has experienced sharp short-covering following strong monthly sales for September. Historically underperforming within the auto sector, the stock is now showing a near-term reversal, aided by festive season demand. It recently crossed its crucial resistance at ₹700, providing an attractive entry point based on risk:reward metrics.


2. Bajaj Finance Futures

  • Buy Range: ₹1,010–1,030

  • Stop Loss: ₹985

  • Targets: ₹1,070 / ₹1,090

Analysis:
Bajaj Finance has broken out of sideways consolidation with a noticeable increase in Open Interest (OI) in the futures segment, signaling a long buildup. Trading above its 20-day VWAP and max pain levels, the stock is bullish in the near term, supported by strong financial sector momentum.


3. IndusInd Bank Futures

  • Buy Range: ₹750–755

  • Stop Loss: ₹725

  • Targets: ₹780 / ₹800

Analysis:
IndusInd Bank is witnessing short covering from lower ranges, supported by bullish trends in banking & financials. Put additions at lower levels provide strong support. With resistance at 760, the stock may advance toward the 800 mark in the near term.


Trading Strategy & Tips

  1. Follow stop-losses strictly to manage downside risk.

  2. Monitor Nifty technical levels (24,800 – 25,400) for breakout or breakdown.

  3. Track sector momentum, especially Banking & IT, as these sectors influence index movement.

  4. Use Futures wisely; check margin and liquidity before entering trades.

  5. Review OI & IV (Options Open Interest & Implied Volatility) for better risk-reward setups.
