Technical view
Sneha Seth, Derivatives Research Analyst at Angel One, said, “The stock has been forming lower top – lower bottom on the daily chart. This counter has a cluster of support around the Rs 1,950-2,050-odd zone, and until it respects these zones, traders can stay long. On the higher side, the 20-DEMA has been acting as a resistance zone which is placed around Rs 2,150-2,200 levels. In case of any upward move beyond the mentioned resistance, the stock should attract fresh buying interest.”
Tips2trades’ Ramachandran said, “Rs 2,064 is strong support on the daily charts, below which a fall till Rs 1,960 looks possible. Resistance will be at Rs 2,193.”
