The stock of LIC Housing Finance gained 3.3 per cent on Friday, decisively surpassing a key immediate resistance at around ₹260. This rally has strengthened the short- as well as the medium-tem uptrend of the stock.
Investors with a medium-term horizon can buy the stock at current levels.
In late March, the stock marked a new 52-week low at ₹186 and reversed direction. Since then, it has been in a medium-term uptrend. After taking support at ₹219 in mid-May, the stock continued to trend upwards, and has been in a short-term uptrend since then. While trending up, the stock breached its 21-and 50-day moving averages in the past week and trades well above these levels.
There has been an increase in daily volume over the past four weeks. The relative strength index (RSI) has entered the bullish zone from the neutral region and the weekly RSI has entered the neutral region from the bearish zone. Besides, the daily as well as the weekly price rate of change indicator feature is in the positive terrain, implying buying interest.
The medium-term outlook appears to be bullish for the stock. It has a key resistance at ₹300.
An emphatic break above this barrier will reinforce the bullish momentum and take the stock higher to ₹320 and ₹335 levels over the medium term, with a minor pause at ₹320.
Investors with a medium-term time-frame can buy the stock with a stop-loss at ₹250 levels.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
But all this comes at a heavy cost. As you are aware, the lockdowns have wiped out almost all our entire revenue stream. Sustaining our quality journalism has become extremely challenging. That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy. You can help us enormously simply by subscribing to our digital or e-paper editions. We offer several affordable subscription plans for our website, which includes Portfolio, our investment advisory section that offers rich investment advice from our highly qualified, in-house Research Bureau, the only such team in the Indian newspaper industry.
