As a result, PVR broke the upper band of the channel pattern which led to a breakout. The weekly RSI (14) entered above the 60 level which supports our hypothesis.

Hence, we advocate traders to buy this stock above 1531 with a price target of 1700 and a stop loss placed below 1428.

RIL: Sell around Rs 1,130 - 1,140| LTP: Rs 1123| Target: Rs 1050 - 1016| Stop Loss: Rs 1187| Return 6%

After forming a ‘Bullish Divergence’ in the month of October; 2017, stock saw decent run up and tested 1180 – 1190 zone.

During Thursday’s trade, Reliance broke the upward sloping trend line drawn from the swing low of 1016.40 which indicate that the stock is likely to resume its downtrend.
