We recommend a sell in the stock of Great Eastern Shipping Company from a short-term horizon. From March low of Rs 142, the stock had continued to be in an intermediate-term uptrend till October high of Rs 310. After encountering significant long-term resistance around Rs 310, the stock changed direction by resuming its long-term downtrend. The stock has been trending downwards since January 2008 high of Rs 572. In late October, the stock conclusively penetrated its intermediate-term up trendline as well as 50-day moving average. It is trading well below its 21- and 50 day moving averages. The daily relative strength index (RSI) has re-entered the bearish zone and weekly RSI is slipping towards this zone in the neutral region. We are bearish on the stock from a short-term perspective. We expect it to decline until it hits our price target of Rs 222. Traders with short-term horizon can sell the stock while maintaining stop-loss a stop-loss at Rs 261.
