We have collated views of experts on what investors should do when the market resumes trading on December 31:
Expert: Ruchit Jain (Senior Analyst - Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking)
It was one of the favourite stocks of traders before the 2008 crash. However, the stock corrected sharply in 2008 from its high of Rs 446 and became a single-digit price stock.
Post that, it has been a laggard and has consolidated in a range since the last few years. Of late, the stock has witnessed some back to back upper circuits to catch up in the current bull market.
However, such up moves in the bull market are used to exit from stocks that one has regretted buying and hence, it is advisable to avoid buying such penny stocks and use this rally to exit. The resistance for the stock on the charts is seen around Rs 7.5-8.
The stock is in an uptrend as it has been forming a ‘Higher Top Higher Bottom’ structure for the last few months.
Recently, the price up moves has also been supported by good volumes which is a healthy sign. The ‘20 DEMA’ has been acting as a support and the momentum readings too are indicating a positive trend.
Hence, traders are advised to continue to ride the trend with a stop loss placed below Rs 1590 for a probable target around Rs 1900 in the near term.
The sugar sector has been in a sweet spot in this Bull Run and this stock too has recovered post the correction in the month of March 2020. It has gradually moved higher and is now nearing its previous all-time high.
The volumes in the recent up move are good as compared to its historical volumes which indicates a buying interest in this counter.
We expect this stock to continue its uptrend as the chart structure remains positive. Traders and investors should continue to hold their existing positions for a target around Rs 375-380.
