Riyank Arora, Technical Analyst at Mehta Equities said, “The stock has surpassed its significant anchor VWAP resistance level of 157.65 on its daily charts. Given the present structure, a pullback towards Rs 138-140 presents a favorable buying opportunity for the stock. Notably, a key support level rests at 120. On the upside, we could potentially witness higher targets ranging between Rs 180 to 185.”
Shiju Koothupalakkal - Technical Research Analyst, Prabhudas Lilladher said, “The stock has retraced quite significantly to the extent of 78.60% from the peak zone of Rs 215 levels and taking support near Rs 133 levels has once again indicated a decent pullback to improve the bias moving past the important 50EMA level at Rs 139. With the chart looking attractive, one can stay invested with support maintained near 140 (50EMA level) and expect for next higher targets of Rs 174 and Rs 192 levels in the coming days. At the same time, a decisive breach below Rs 140 zone shall negate our view.”
Abhijeet from Tips2trade said, "IREDA stock price is slightly bearish on the Daily charts with strong resistance at Rs 162. A daily close below the support of Rs 146 could lead to a target of Rs 122 in the near term."
