Macrotech Developers (Lodha) | CMP: Rs 1,296
After reaching a high near Rs 1,595, Lodha has undergone a substantial decline, shedding 28 percent of its gains. This significant correction has brought the stock down to a critical technical level, where it has found support at the 200-day DEMA. The 200 DEMA is a widely recognized indicator used by traders to identify long-term support levels, and in this case, it appears to be playing a crucial role in stabilizing the stock.
Adding to the significance of this support level, a bullish BAT pattern has emerged right at the 200 DEMA, further strengthening the case for a potential reversal in the stock's downtrend. The bullish BAT pattern, a harmonic trading pattern known for its reliability in signaling potential price reversals, suggests that the stock may be poised for a recovery. Given these technical signals, it is recommended to consider taking a long position in Lodha within the price range of Rs 1,275-1,300. The potential upside target is set at Rs 1,400, providing a favourable risk-reward ratio. To manage risk, a stop-loss should be placed at Rs 1,232 on a daily closing basis, ensuring that any further downside movement is contained.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 1,400
Stop-Loss: Rs 1,232
