Birlasoft (₹617.9)
Likely to recover
Birlasoft’s stock has been steadily declining since February after it faced a resistance at around ₹850. But after hitting a six-month low of ₹564.75 a couple of weeks ago, the stock appears to be stabilising. A morning star candlestick pattern can be observed on the daily chart. This is an indication of a bullish trend reversal. Also, ₹575 is a long-term support.
Hence the chances for the stock to begin a fresh rally is high. So, traders can buy now at ₹618. Buy more shares if the price dips to ₹590. Place initial stop-loss at ₹550. When the stock rises past ₹680, alter the stop-loss to ₹625. When the price touches ₹800, tighten the stop-loss further to ₹730. Liquidate the longs at ₹850.
General Insurance Corporation of India (₹369.2)
Breaks out of a range
