Even as the long-term outlook for TVS Motor Company (₹565) appears bright, the stock may find it difficult to sustain the momentum in the short term. TVS Motor finds an immediate support at ₹552 and a crucial one at ₹536.

A close below the latter will alter the bullish outlook. On the other hand, TVS Motor faces an immediate resistance at ₹606 and a major one at ₹677. It appears that the stock can climb to fresh highs if it manages to close above ₹677 with good volumes. However, we expect the stock to face correction in the immediate term.

F&O pointers: The TVS Motor futures witnessed a roll-over of open positions to August contracts at about 8 per cent. Both the current and the next month (August) series futures trade at a discount, signalling the existence of short positions. Options on TVS Motor are not active.
