Short L&T, says Sudarshan Sukhani

Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "Larsen and Toubro (L&T) was a strong performer, but then from Rs 1,700 onwards it has been having a one-way move all the way down and now at current levels of Rs 1,450 it is giving us a message that there is an imminent breakdown that will take it to Rs 1,300. This is happening to a lot of blue chip stock.”

He further added, “L&T is a short sell now. Even for today, even a market that could be choppy and the Nifty could be choppy today L&T still has only one trade to be on the short side. We do not want to go long in a chart pattern that says much lower levels are coming.”
