There is buzz on the D-street that some HNIs have taken long positions in the stock and are expecting it to move in the northward direction.

TECHNICAL BREAKOUT

SUPPORT LEVELS 

Hindalco Industries

Hindalco, an Aditya Birla group flagship company, has been an interesting play, of late. The stock has shown good resilience in the current meltdown in the stock markets as it did not fall much and is holding its support levels. As per the technical analysts, the stock is a good candidate to go long in this turbulent period as the stock is trading above its important long term moving average, i.e. 200-day Simple Moving Average. A fairly decent buy at the current levels.
