Please advise on the stock of Suven Pharmaceuticals purchased at ₹305. What are the prospects for the medium and the long term for this stock?
Sudhakar
Suven Pharmaceuticals (₹332.3): After getting listed in early March this year, the stock of Suven Pharmaceuticals witnessed a downmove and recorded a fresh low at ₹87 (adjusted) in late March.
Subsequently, the stock changed direction, and has since been on an intermediate-term uptrend.
During the uptrend, the stock decisively breached a key resistance at ₹177 in June and continued to trend upwards.
In late September, it met with a key resistance at ₹400 and began to decline. Since then, the stock has been on a short-term downtrend.
It now tests a crucial support at ₹320. A decline below this base can pull the stock down to ₹295 and then to ₹280 over the short term. Further plunge below ₹280 can drag the stock down to ₹240.
As long as the stock trades above the vital support level of ₹240, the intermediate-term uptrend stays in place.
However, if the stock slumps below this support, it will alter the uptrend and pull the stock down to ₹200 and then to ₹177 over the medium term.
On the upside, a strong breakthrough above the immediate resistance level of ₹360 can reinforce the uptrend and take the stock northwards to ₹380 and then to ₹400 in the medium term.
An emphatic break-out of ₹400 will pave the way for an up-move to ₹440 and then to ₹460 over the long run.
You can consider booking partial profit on a fall below the immediate support level of ₹320 and repurchase at lower levels.
Investors with a long-term view can stay invested with a stop-loss at ₹220.
Can I buy shares of Sumitomo Chemical India at the current price? Kindly advise.

Sumitomo Chemical India (₹281.4): Following a medium-term uptrend, the stock of Sumitomo Chemical India has been in a sideways consolidation phase in the band between ₹260 and ₹310 since this June.
Within the sideways band, the stock has been charting downwards since late September. A strong break above the immediate resistance level of ₹300 will alter this downtrend and take the stock higher to the upper boundary of ₹310.
An emphatic break above ₹310 can accelerate the stock northwards to ₹320 and then to ₹340 levels over the medium term.
You can buy the stock on decline with a stop-loss at ₹255. On the downside, a decisive fall below the lower boundary of ₹260 can pull the stock down to ₹240 and then to ₹220 over the medium term.
