Chart check on IT stocks:
Infosys
Last close: ₹1,583
Infosys stock is trading within a rising channel, indicating a medium-term uptrend remains intact. The stock price is currently hovering near key moving averages, with 50-EMA acting as immediate support around ₹1,580 – ₹1,565 zone, shows Infosys chart.
"A sustained hold above this area keeps the bullish structure valid. Resistance is placed near ₹1,635 – ₹1,650, where prior supply is visible. A decisive breakout above resistance can trigger fresh upside momentum," says Kunal Kamble.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
Last close: ₹3,183
Earlier,
TCS share was in a downtrend but found strong support in the ₹2,930 – ₹2,920 zone, from where it staged a reversal. On the shorter time frame, the stock is now forming higher-highs and higher-lows, indicating a shift in short-term trend, explains Kamble.
The stock faced resistance near the 200-EMA and has since retraced to the ₹3,175 level. As long as this support holds, the short-term structure remains intact, while ₹3,300 – ₹3,330 remains a key resistance zone.
HCL Technologies
Last close: ₹1,657
HCL Technologies stock is showing signs of a constructive long-term setup. On the weekly chart, price is trading above the rising long-term trendline and holding firmly above the 200-week moving average, indicating structural strength.
The stock has recently reclaimed the 20-week and 50-week moving averages, suggesting a shift toward bullish momentum. A decisive breakout above the recent consolidation zone can trigger further upside, the analyst said.
Tata Elxsi
Last close: ₹5,505
Post results,
Tata Elxsi stock reacted negatively with a sharp sell-off, indicating selling pressure at higher levels. The pullback from ₹5,900 – ₹6,000 zone highlights this area as a strong resistance.
However, the stock is holding above the recent swing support near ₹5,300 – ₹5,350, which is crucial to maintain short-term stability.
Kamble believes that the overall outlook remains neutral to bearish in the near term; a sustained move above ₹5,900 is needed for trend reversal, while a breakdown below ₹5,300 could invite further downside.
L&T Technology Services
Last close: ₹4,244
L&T Technology Services is trading within a broad descending channel, indicating a weak to sideways medium-term trend. Price has slipped below short-term moving averages, reflecting loss of bullish momentum after the recent rally.
The ₹4,200 – ₹4,150 zone acts as immediate support, aligned with the lower channel boundary. A breakdown below this level may open downside toward ₹4,000. On the upside, strong resistance is placed near ₹4,400 – ₹4,450, followed by ₹4,720, says Kunal Kamble.
