Here's what Jigar S Patel of Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
Since the last 4-5 months it has given a handsome return of 45 percent. At the current juncture, it is approaching its potential reversal zone of Rs 1,200 (Bearish Butterfly pattern).
Additionally, there is a negative divergence on the weekly scale where the price is making higher highs but RSI (relative strength index) weekly is not making higher highs which is a matter of concern.
So keeping this in mind one should book profits in the range of Rs 1,190-1,220 and avoid fresh longs.
At the current juncture, the said counter has approached its historical resistance Rs 1,290-1,300 levels along with weekly RSI is looking extremely overbought.
Additionally, 200 DEMA (day exponential moving average) stands around Rs 941 levels which is far below the current market price, so mean reversion could be possible.
Last but not least, on a daily scale negative divergence has emerged (refer to the chart) where price action is making higher highs and RSI is making lower highs.
One should immediately book profits in the zone of Rs 1,290-1,300 levels.
Recently the said counter has given breakout from its previous trading range of Rs 610-640 and currently well placed above it. On indicator front, the price action is well above William Alligator (trend following indicator) along with daily RSI constantly trading above 50 levels which is sign of strength in the counter.
Thus, one can buy in the range of Rs 640-650 with upside target of Rs 700 and stop-loss would be Rs 625 on daily close basis.
