DRS Finvest founder Ravi Singh also mentioned Rs 18 as the support zone.

The counter was trading higher than the 5-day, 10-, 20-, 30-, 50-, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) but lower than the 150-day SMA. The counter's 14-day relative strength index (RSI) came at 58.25. A level below 30 is defined as oversold while a value above 70 is considered overbought.

Brightcom is backed by seasoned investor Shankar Sharma. It has zoomed over 1,290 per cent in the past five years. As of September 2023, Sharma owns a 1.14 per cent stake in the company. He has been restricted by markets regulator Sebi from selling shares.

Last year, the counter saw heavy selling pressure after the company's chairman and managing director (CMD) Suresh Kumar Reddy, along with chief financial officer (CFO) SL Narayana Raju, resigned following a Sebi order. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had restrained Reddy and Raju from holding any directorial positions.

The group consolidates ad-tech, new media and IoT (Internet of Things) based businesses across the globe, primarily in the digital eco-system. Brightcom's consumer products division is focused on IoT. The company has a presence in the US, Israel, Latin America ME, Western Europe and Asia Pacific regions.
