Yoganand BL Research Bureau | Updated on June 11, 2020 Published on June 12, 2020

Investors with a short-term perspective can sell the stock of Amara Raja Batteries at current levels. Following a medium-term uptrend from the 52-week low of ₹350 seen in late March this year, the stock had encountered a key resistance at ₹680 in early June.

After testing this resistance early this week, the stock reversed direction triggered by negative divergence on the daily RSI. It fell 3 per cent on Thursday, breaking below the key base level at ₹650.

The near-term trend is bearish for the stock. Besides, the medium-term uptrend is losing bullish momentum. There has been a fall in daily volumes over the past week. The daily RSI has entered the neutral region from the bullish zone and the weekly RSI is featuring in the neutral region. In line with the stock price, the daily price rate of change indicator has been charting down over the past one week.

With the stock declining below the crucial level of ₹650, the short-term outlook has turned bearish. It can witness selling pressure at higher level and continue to trend downwards. Traders with a short-term view can sell the stock at current levels with stop-loss at ₹654. Short-term targets are at ₹615 and ₹600.

Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis. There is a risk of loss in trading.
