• ABcapital reached a low of 85 in June 2022 and then climbed to a multi-year high of 199.30 in July.
• The counter after making fresh 6+ years highs entered into “Time & Price” consolidation. From the last three months it is trading within the range and made lows of 173.45 this month.
• The overall trend is upward, but in the short to mid-term, it is in “Range to down”.
• From a technical perspective, the counter will attract new buyers when its price falls to around 174 and 167. There’s significant support at these levels, and if it drops below that, there might be even lower levels of support.
• Based on the current situation, consider buying the stock when it dips to these support levels. If it manages to stay above 202 for several weeks, it could be a good opportunity to buy more.
