The stock of IL&FS Engineering and Construction Company gained 6.7 per cent, accompanied by above average volume on Thursday. Investors with a short-term horizon can consider buying the stock at current levels. The stock’s medium-term downtrend came to an end in mid-June at its long-term support level of ₹67. Since then, the stock has been on a nascent short-term uptrend. It decisively breached a key resistance at ₹80 in early July which turned into a key support and provided cushion recently.

The stock trades well above its 50- and 200-day moving averages. The daily moving average convergence divergence indicator is moving higher in line with the stock price. Though the stock faces a key resistance ahead, the short-term outlook is bullish. Traders with a short-term perspective can buy the stock with a stop-loss at ₹84.5. It can extend the current rally and reach the price target of ₹90 and then ₹92 in the coming trading sessions.
