“The recent market behavior of Pidilite has presented an intriguing phenomenon known as hidden divergence. This occurs when the price of a stock records a higher closing while the RSI, a crucial momentum indicator, registers a lower closing,” highlights Bathija.
“Considering the compelling technical and fundamental factors, the decision to buy Pidilite appears well-founded. The stock not only exhibits a clear uptrend but also boasts strong momentum, supported by multiple confirmations,” he said.
“We suggest a buy with an anticipated rise to 2895. A stop loss of 2475 is recommended to manage potential risks within the first quarter of FY 2024,” recommended Bathija.
“Looking ahead, if it manages to sustain its momentum and remains above 2920, marking a new high, there is a strong possibility of continued growth over the next three to four quarters,” he said.
Bathija predicts a potential surge to the all-time high of 3260, offering investors an attractive opportunity for capital appreciation.
