Here are trading strategies for stocks that have been in the news over the past few months:
 

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL): What’s missing in the stock is the significant amount of volumes that can drive the price to higher levels. The volumes are trading below average as per the daily chart, a sign of concern. Its inability has led to several failed breakouts, resulting in negative sentiment and losing upside momentum. Investors and traders need to be cautious as stock trades below 200 DMA, placed at Rs 465 levels. A decisive breakout above the same may alter the current cautious sentiment. Till then, one can opt for Rs 380 as support. However, one needs to be aware that the stock is trading below 50 DMA of Rs 430 as well.  CLICK HERE FOR DETAILED CHART VIEW
