The stock had formed a reversal hanging man candlestick pattern as on weekend of February 20, 2020 and thereafter, witnessed a correction. The correction was nearly 53 per cent from the higher levels. However, considering the daily time frame, since the last 23 trading sessions, the stock is trading in counter-trend consolidation and formed a bearish flag pattern. Currently, the stock is trading below its long and short-term moving averages. The 200-DMA crossed over 50-DMA around 35 trading sessions ago, popularly called the ‘death crossover’, which is a long-term bearish signal. Among the momentum indicators, the 14-period RSI is in super bearish zone in both the weekly and daily time frame. The weekly MACD stays bearish as it is trading below its zero line and signal line. In case the stock sustains below the lower trendline of bearish flag pattern, which is currently placed at Rs 690, it may extend its downward move. Hence, we recommend you to exit Shriram City Union Finance below Rs 690 on closing basis.
