Analyst said that Hindustan Petroleum will trade between 232-225 levels

“Following a breakdown of the 200-simple moving average (SMA), the stock has witnessed a massive build-up of shorts on 245 PE and 240 PE. The trend remains feeble, with any rise to be opt for more sell-off. The hurdle falls at 244 and 247 levels. The bias remains weak for this counter as it turns sour below the 200-SMA. The implied volatility has sharply risen from 24 to 35 post delivering a breakdown. The stock is drifting towards 232 – 225 levels”, Bagkar said about Hindustan Petroleum.

According to analysts, Exide Industries is expected to trade between 235-225 levels.

Regarding Exide Industries, Bagkar said, “The failure to sustain over the 50-SMA has led to a breach of previous support of 252, triggering selling pressure in the counter. The Bollinger band has broken out after a sharp squeeze representing a move with an increase in implied volatility. The 245 CE and 247.50 CE both are experiencing writing, with IO showing a significant rise. Option data reveals a downside towards 235–225 levels.”
