Alchemist - BUY

We recommend a buy in Alchemist from a short-term trading perspective. It is apparent from the charts of Alchemist that it was on a medium-term downtrend from its early August high of Rs 105 to September low of Rs 71.

However, after taking support at around Rs 70 recently, the stock bounced up sharply. On October 1, the stock surged 6 per cent, breaking through the medium-term down trendline. Moreover, the stock’s surge has also penetrated the 21-, 50-, 200-day moving averages compression conclusively. We notice very high volume over the past 6 weeks.

The daily relative strength index is on the verge of entering in to the bullish zone from the bearish region. The moving average convergence and divergence is signalling a buy. We are bullish on the stock from a short-term perspective and expect it to move up until it hits our price target of Rs 100 in the forthcoming trading sessions. Traders with short-term perspective can buy the stock while maintaining a stop-loss at Rs 84.
