BHEL – Avoid
After consolidating in the range of 113-135 levels in the month of Sept-Oct 2023, price has given a sharp upside rally to make an eight years high of 176.5 odd levels. Volumes were on top as buyers were having full control on price. As the stock has given almost 56% return from its lower level we can expect some profit booking from here.
At current level, price is overvalued and can see some profit booking till 150-140. Stock is good for the long term and can buy around lower levels of 140 and from there upside can be seen to make new highs in near terms. Price is also moving above all three major averages which is the positive sign for upside. The Stochastics Oscillator is also moving in the overbought zone indicating some correction from here.
