Technical view

Within the defence space, Apollo Micro Systems has witnessed a sharp recovery from its April low of ₹179 levels. After the rebound, the stock entered a consolidation phase but regained momentum in Tuesday’s session.

 

From a technical perspective, Harish Jujarey, AVP, head - technical equity research, Prithvi Finmart said, the setup remains constructive, on the charts.  "The immediate resistance is placed around ₹337 levels, of the last week’s high. A decisive breakout above this zone could trigger further upside towards its previous all-time high near ₹357, and potentially higher levels thereafter," said Jujarey.

 

On the downside, any corrective dips towards ₹320 levels, he believes, may offer a  buying opportunity, while ₹280 remains a crucial support zone.
