The Nifty PSE index remains in a strong uptrend forming a higher high low in all time frames and is on the cusp of generating a breakout above multi-year highs since 2017 indicating a structural turnaround, highlighted domestic brokerage and research firm ICICI Securities.
Within PSU fertilisers, the brokerage house said it remains constructive on Rashtriya Chemical & Fertilizer (RCF) as the fertiliser stock has generated a breakout above the multiyear falling supply line joining the highs of CY10 ( ₹132) and CY18 ( ₹111) signalling a structural turnaround.
“The stock is also on the cusp of generating a breakout above the last 18 months range ( ₹104-66), thus offering a fresh entry opportunity. The base of the recent consolidation is placed at the 20 month’s EMA (currently placed at | 82) signalling an overall positive price structure," the note stated.
The brokerage expects the stock to maintain positive bias and head towards ₹117 levels (target price), with a Buy rating and has a stop loss of ₹91 and time frame of around three months, in the 123.6% external retracement of the recent breather ( ₹112-71). Monthly MACD is in uptrend and is seen rebounding taking support at its nine period’s average, thus validating positive bias, it added.
