I still have a few doubts on when to exit the stock.
(it's a little difficut to read your chart due to the resize so I'll use the icharts chart again)
On the upthrust bar the volume was lower than the previous 2 bars and the volume was actually falling for the next 7 days so in such a case wouldn't it have been called a retracement since the volume was declining with the price declines?
How would you you say on the next bar after the upthrust that it was the end of upmove? Is it because it was a down close?
Another question I had is that, since everyone was talking about economic recovery and the big rally that would follow was SM looking for higher prices but the downtrend put the brakes on it so SM didn't completely exit the stock? So in that case the stock would again start the upmove sometime right?
P.S: Suzlon came out with bad earnings so it gapped down on Monday (loss of 453cr vs 9cr or something like that). It still closed up though. Wht does that tell you?
Recently Sunpharma was in the news for their US subsidary under fire. Stock gapped down 16% from 1200 to 1000 odd then recoverd to 1200 odd subsequently.
