Astral, part of the capital goods industry, broke out from a range in May to hit a fresh record high, and the chart pattern suggests that bulls are here to stay.
Short term traders can look to buy the stock now for a target of Rs 2536 in the next 1-2 months, suggest experts.
The stock rose more than 4% in a week and over 12% in a month. The momentum helped the stock to breakout from its swing high of Rs 2143 recorded on 5th March 2024.
The stock moved in a range as it inched closer towards 2100- 2200 levels in February 2024. The stock did witness mild consolidation which took the stock towards crucial support levels.
"Astral Ltd exhibits robust relative strength amidst broader market turbulence, even amidst a 70% surge in the India VIX (Fear Index) over the past two weeks," Neel.H. Parekh, Technical Research Associate at GEPL Capital Ltd, said.
"Despite market volatility, the stock demonstrates strong price stability, currently trading at its all-time high, indicating a potential bullish momentum," he added.
Looking ahead, ASTRAL appears poised for further gains, with a target set at 2536. To manage risks effectively, it's recommended to implement a stop loss at 1977 on a closing basis," recommended Parekh.
