Tata Steel’s stock nose-dived 9.5 per cent with good volume in the prior week, emphatically breaking a key support at ₹250 levels. The stock continues to be in a downtrend across all-time frames — long, medium and short-term.

The recent bullish signs have faded; the stock needs fresh set of bullish signals in the coming weeks to indicate trend reversal. Therefore, traders can continue to hold their short position with a stop-loss at ₹255 levels.

Any rally can encounter resistance at ₹250 levels and the stock can resume its downtrend. The downside targets are ₹225 and then ₹210. Next support below this level is around ₹200 which is closer to its August 2013 low.

However, a strong rally above ₹250 can take the stock up to ₹275. Further rally above this level can result in a corrective rally extending to ₹288 and ₹300 levels. Only a strong breakthrough of ₹314 levels will alter the short-term downtrend.
