Reliance Industries Ltd's shares have given a reversal breakout after correction in  falling channel. On May 24, Reliance's shares gained over 0.29 percent to trade above Rs 2,963.55.

Falling channel is a chart pattern used in technical analysis to describe the price action of a security that is moving downwards within a bounded range.

Traders use falling channels to identify potential buying opportunities at the lower trendline (support) and selling opportunities at the upper trendline (resistance). The pattern continues until the price breaks out of the channel, which can signal a potential trend reversal or continuation.

"The stock  seems to have completed the correction in the falling channel," said Jay Thakkar, Head Derivatives and Quant Research at ICICI Securities.

He recommends taking a bull call spread strategy on Reliance scrip to capture this momentum.

"Since, next week is the monthly expiry week, so one can buy 1 lot 2980 CE at 23.5 and sell 1 lot of 3060 CE at 5.55, hence the total outflow will be of 18 points, which is the maximum risk whereas maximum gain will be of 62 points, so the risk: reward ratio is more than 1:3," he said.

Buy 2980 CE at Rs 23.5 and
Sell 3060 CE at Rs 5.5

The stock faces a minor hurdle around the 3000 level, which, once surpassed, could take it to 3,100 levels. On the lower side, the stock has immediate support in the 2,850-2,900 range," said Thakkar.
