Centum Electronics tumbled 5.21% to Rs 380.55 amid profit taking after a recent steep surge.
The stock jumped 25.95% in the past three sessions to end at Rs 401.45 yesterday (10 December 2020), from its recent closing low of Rs 318.75 recorded on 7 December 2020.
In the past one month, the stock has zoomed 39.36% while the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex has added 5.75% during the same period.
On the technical front, the stock's RSI (relative strength index) stood at 74.775 on BSE. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally, the RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30.
The stock was trading above its 50-day, 100-day and 200-day daily simple moving averages (SMA) placed at 297.54, 316.82 and 300.12, respectively. These levels will act as crucial support zones in near term.
