Buy Lupin between Rs 1156-1135

CMP: Rs 1,156
Stop loss: Rs 1,120
Target: Rs 1,225

Stock has seen healthy correction of more than 50% from its all-time high of Rs 2,129 registered in October 2015. Monthly and weekly oscillators have reached   extreme oversold territory. However, on  the  daily  charts, oscillators like RSI and MACD have been developing positive divergence, which indicates that bearish  momentum  is  exhausting. Lupin  is a bell-weather pharma stock and has rewarded its investors handsomely over the past decade. Nifty Pharma Index has been outperforming for last two months. Lupin has surpassed the crucial resistance of Rs 20 and 50-DMA recently.  

Considering the technical evidences discussed above, we recommend buying the stock between Rs 1156 and Rs 1135, for the target of Rs 1225, keeping stop loss at Rs 1120.
