Technical view on Hudco

Harish Jujarey, AVP, head - technical equity research at Prithvi Finmart, said Housing and Urban Development Corporation stock prices witnessed a strong recovery from the March lows near ₹160 levels and rallied sharply to ₹235 levels last week.

 

On the technical front, the stock appears to have faced strong resistance near the crucial ₹235–240 zone, which coincides with multiple previous highs as well as a downward sloping trendline resistance. Following this, profit booking has gradually emerged in the counter.

 

"After the release of quarterly results, the stock came under further pressure and declined nearly 7 per cent in today’s session, currently trading around the ₹207 levels.

 

Going ahead, the ₹235–240 zone is likely to continue acting as a stiff resistance area, while the ongoing correction could extend towards the next important support near the 50-day moving average placed around the ₹195 levels. Hence, we advise avoiding fresh long positions at the current levels," Jujarey said.
