Hi Amit,
Thank you for your reply and encouragement. Some questions ---
1) From your analysis, I understood that, as approx. 190 is a strong resistance,
so if it crosses that with high volume, one can hope for a good upmove.(Am I right?)
But how you have estimated target of 230?
2) And then, can the things go wrong,if one takes position, for a short term trade, when price comes near the support line?
Regards,
Babun
Hi Babun, the charts are showing 90-93 off as a big resistance, so yes a close above here with strong volume would nomally be considered a breakout in progress. As the price has ventured well above these levels in intradayday moves in the past, one would want to take a cautious approach. If on the day the price closed above 194, with intraday high at, say 97, the next day one could observe the price volatility, the direction to which the pressure exists, meaning up or down, and volume. If the volume increases as the price wants to go up and decreases when down, one would take entry passing the previous days's high, meaning 97 with stop loss at 93. This is by the book to be cautious.
Targets can be set using trendlines, and also by considering the length of the consolidation preceding the breakout. Here the price has been in a range since early September last. A strong move can be expected when it comes. A good system to follow is trailing stops, where one keeps the exit level a certain distance below the current price, say about 5%. This way one rides the move as far as possible.
To the third question, it's always risky to come in for a short trade when the price drifts down to a support line. It's better handled with experience. Here again price action and volume are important to observe over a period of time to get a hang of the way a stock moves. Increasing volume when price drops is likely to breach the support. In theory what you are saying is possible, but with experience and observation, and with tight stops.
So much for now.
