Abhijeet from Tips2trade said, "After having an excellent 2022 where majority of the Adani Group stocks have given stellar returns, these stocks including Adani Power are seeing a decent price correction thus far.  Rs 315 remains a strong support on the daily charts and investors should wait for these levels to start accumulating for targets of Rs 378-400 in the near term."

Tirthankar Das, Technical & Derivative Analyst, Retail, Ashika Stock Broking said, "In comparison to other mid-cap counters, stock prices seem resilient though prices has corrected closer to 23.6% retracement of the entire rally since March 20 (currently at  Rs 335). Hence, short-term trend might change to positive if it is able to sustain above it, else further downside towards next support level of  Rs 275 (38.2% retracement) might be seen. On the oscillator front too, no signs of bottoming out can be seen yet. Hence, it is advisable to wait for further price correction towards Rs 275-290. Pullback from then on can mount higher towards Rs 350-375 in the near term."
