The uptrend in the stock of Whirlpool of India that has been in place since February remains intact. The stock recorded an all-time high of ₹979.95 on August 29 and has come off from there. But the 21-DMA halted this pull-back move by providing strong support.
After hovering above this moving average support for about two weeks, the stock is now heading for a fresh leg of upmove.
On Thursday, it rose 1.7 per cent with strong volume and has closed just above the resistance at ₹945. A rise to test the next resistance at ₹967 looks likely in the near term. A strong break above this level may increase the possibility of the stock breaching the previous high of ₹979.95 and recording fresh highs.
Traders with a short-term perspective can go long. Stop-loss can be placed at ₹910 for a target of ₹995. The 21-DMA at ₹924 and then ₹912 are the key support levels.
(Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis. There is a risk of loss in trading.)
