Post which, the stock witnessed a spectacular rally and hit a peak at Rs 6,246 - a solid gain of 152 per cent.
 
However, at present, the stock has declined over 9 per cent from its peak and trades below Rs 5,500 levels. In the last 17 months, the Hero Moto stock has tested its 100-DMA on six occasions, and has successfully defended the same in the last five instances.
