We’re currently seeing mixed trend on FMCG front. Among the bullish counters, Marico has surpassed the hurdle of multiple moving averages on the daily chart of late and is gradually inching higher.

Ashok Leyland Limited
Recommendation: Sell May Futures
Last Close: Rs 92.50
Initiation range: Rs 93-95
Target: Rs 84
Stop loss: Rs 98
Most auto stocks are trading under pressure and Ashok Leyland is no different. Though it had made an attempt to surpass the hurdle of long term average i.e. 200-EMA on the weekly chart but in vain. It’s gradually inching lower and forming a fresh shorting pivot. The current chart pattern and the confirmation indicators are also pointing towards fresh fall ahead. We suggest traders to go short as per the mentioned levels.

Banking majors are either trading under pressure or witnessing consolidation. Amongst all, ICICI Bank is currently hovering in a range, after forming a new record high and likely to see profit taking in near future. We advise initiating fresh shorts in the given levels.
