The stock of Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals gained 9.7 per cent , accompanied by above-average volume, on Friday, bouncing from a significant long-term support at ₹135.
With this rally, the stock managed to erode the intra-week loss, and closed in green, forming a hammer candlestick pattern in the weekly chart, which is a bullish reversal pattern. This, coupled with a reversal from the long-term support, provides investors with a medium-term horizon — an opportunity to buy the stock at current levels.
After recording a 52-week high at ₹196 in early this June, the stock began to decline steadily, breaching a key support at ₹170 and ₹158. But it found support at the long-term base level of ₹135, which has cushioned the stock in the past.
Triggered by positive divergence displayed in the daily relative strength index and price rate of change indicator, the stock changed direction recently.
