RVNL stock: Technical view
Harish Jujarey, AVP equity research at Prithvi Finmart, said that RVNL has remained in a bearish-to-sideways consolidation phase for more than a year. Technically, the stock continues to trade in a lower top – lower bottom formation, indicating a weak trend. It is also trading below its key 50-day and 200-day moving averages, placed around ₹280 and ₹300 respectively, which are likely to act as strong resistance or supply zones in the near term.
