R T Rajasekaran

DLF (₹228.9): Following a medium-term uptrend from the late September 2017 low of ₹158, the stock encountered a key resistance at ₹273 in early January this year.

The stock subsequently changed direction, triggered by negative divergence in the daily indicators. Since then, it has been in a short-term downtrend. However, retracing 50 per cent fibonacci retracement level of the prior uptrend, the stock found support at ₹215 last week. It was buoyant and advanced 2.6 per cent in the previous week, while the broader markets tanked.

The medium-term uptrend will be in place as long as the stock trades above ₹215. Investors with a high-risk profile and medium-term perspective can consider buying the stock with a stop-loss at ₹205.

A strong rally above the immediate resistance level of ₹245 can take the stock higher to ₹265 and ₹275 levels. To further strengthen the medium-term uptrend, the stock needs to emphatically move beyond ₹275 levels. Next key resistances are at ₹300 and ₹330 levels.

On the other hand, a plunge below the current base level can pull the stock down to ₹200. Further slump below ₹200 will alter the medium-term uptrend and drag it lower to ₹180 or even to ₹160 levels in the medium term.

Bharti Infratel (₹341.3): After a medium-term downtrend, the stock found support at ₹340 in mid-January.

This significant long-term support of the stock has been cushioning it over the past three weeks. The daily indicators are showing positive signs of trend reversal. Investors with a long-term perspective can buy the stock with a stop-loss at ₹320. An upward reversal from the current base level can take the stock higher to ₹370 and ₹400 in the medium term.

Further break above ₹400 can take the stock to ₹440 and ₹480 levels in the long run.

Any blip below the current support can find support at ₹320 or ₹300. But further decline below ₹300 will strengthen the downtrend and drag the stock to ₹275 and ₹250 levels.
