Should you buy Alok Industries shares?
Alok Industries’ recent rebound has improved short-term momentum, but technical analysts continue to see a weak broader trend. The stock remains below key long-term moving averages, making the ₹10 level and the ₹7- ₹7.20 zone important for the next move.
KKunal V Parar, VP of Technical Research and Algo, said Alok Industries remained in a prolonged bearish trend and was trading well below its 200-DMA and 200-WMA. However, the stock had recently found buying interest around the ₹7- ₹7.20 zone.
“The weekly RSI had slipped into the oversold region and has now started recovering, suggesting that selling momentum may be losing some strength. On the daily chart as well, RSI witnessed a sharp recovery from deeply oversold levels.”
Parar said the daily RSI had moved back above 50, signalling improving near-term momentum. The stock had also formed a base around ₹7- ₹7.50, but remained considerably below its 200-DMA near ₹12.75- ₹13.00, making the current move a short-term recovery attempt rather than a confirmed reversal.
He identified ₹10 as the first important resistance. A sustained move above it could open room towards the ₹12.75- ₹13.00 200-DMA zone. On the downside, ₹7- ₹7.20 remained crucial support, while a decisive break below ₹7 could resume the broader bearish trend. Parar’s technical bias remained a short-term recovery attempt, with a sustained breakout above ₹9.75- ₹10 required for stronger reversal confirmation.
Mayank Jain, Market Analyst at Share.Market by PhonePe, said the stock showed signs of short-term stabilisation following an extended multi-year decline, with the price gradually moving towards a major structural base near the ₹7 region.
“From a technical perspective on the daily chart, the stock registered a daily gain of 5.75% (+0.45 points) to close at 8.28, accompanied by a trading volume of 46.58 million shares.”
Jain said the move pushed the stock slightly above its 20-day Simple Moving Average of ₹7.37. However, it remained below the 50-day SMA at ₹9.44 and 200-day SMA at ₹12.75, leaving several resistance barriers overhead.
“Immediate overhead resistance sits near the 50-day moving average level of 9.44, followed by a secondary resistance barrier around the 200-day moving average at 12.75. A sustained move above these trendlines would be required to signal a broader structural trend reversal.”
On the downside, Jain identified the recent consolidation base between ₹7.30 and ₹7.95 as immediate dynamic support.
