The stock has provided a much-awaited breakout from a two-year long consolidation. The breakout was very well supported by the higher than average daily volume which hints of a further upside momentum. The momentum indicators and oscillators are in the buy mode on the daily as well as weekly scales which also supports the positive momentum. The stock also witnessed a built-up of long positions with the addition of 4 per cent open interest.

BUY HERO MOTOCO | TARGET: Rs 3,350 | STOP LOSS: Rs 3,110

The stock has negated the formation of the 'lower top and the lower bottom' formation and has provided a breakout from a symmetrical triangle formation on the daily chart.
