Technical outlook for HUL, HPCL and two industrial stocks
The article gives chart-based advice about four companies.
HUL has been weakening, so the advice is to sell rather than wait for a possible further fall.
HPCL also looks weak soon and may decline toward ₹270, although it could recover over a longer period.
Craftsman Automation is moving upward, so investors are advised to keep holding it while protecting their gains.
Jupiter Wagons is moving downward, so the advice is to stay out for now.
These views come from studying recent price movements on charts.
Support levels are prices where a stock may stop falling.
Resistance levels are prices where a stock may struggle to rise.
The recommendations could change if the stocks move beyond the stated levels.
Hindustan Unilever Limited is advised as an exit after weakening technical signals, with potential declines toward ₹1,800 or ₹1,650.
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited may fall toward ₹300 or ₹270 before a possible long-term recovery toward ₹520.
Craftsman Automation remains in a strong uptrend, and shareholders are advised to hold with a stop-loss at ₹9,320.
Jupiter Wagons remains in a strong downtrend, with ₹225 and potentially ₹150 identified as downside levels.
The analysis is based on chart patterns, resistance levels, support levels and suggested stop-losses.
