Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart, said, "Raymond has shown a V-shaped recovery from the last breakout level at Rs 1,100-1,150. The overall structure of the stock looks lucrative, as it is trading above its all-important moving averages. On the higher side, Rs 1,750 is acting as an important psychological level. Above this, we can expect a level of Rs 1,800-plus in the near-short term, while on the lower side, it has already given a big move in April. So, support will come at around Rs 1,550 level."
Abhijeet from Tips2trades said, "With the news of Godrej Consumer acquiring the Raymond consumer business, the Raymond stock price has continued its strong uptrend but is also very overbought with strong resistance at Rs 1835 on the Daily charts. Investors should book profits at current levels as Daily close below support of Rs 1626 could lead to targets of Rs 1522-1420 in the near term."
