By Indian automobile giant Tata Motors’ share price took a beating on Wednesday going down over 3% to hit an intraday low of ₹754 (£7).
The automobile company extended its losing streak at the bourses to the third straight session.
The Tata Motors’ share price has sunk over 23% in the past six months.
What are technical analysts saying?
“Tata Motors, after showing resilience at the crucial support level of ₹771, has succumbed to the ongoing weakness in the auto and ancillary sectors,” said Anshul Jain, head of research, Lakshmishree Investments & Securities.
He added that despite holding this level during previous corrections, the Jaguar Land Rover parent’s stock has finally breached this critical threshold, signalling bearish sentiment among investors.
As per Jain the sustained move below ₹771 could potentially trigger further downside, with the next significant support level seen at ₹659.
“Investors are advised to monitor this technical breakdown closely, as it could set the tone for Tata Motors’ medium-term trend,” he added.
“The stock is trading near its major support level of ₹750 and is showing signs of weakness in its price movement,” said Riyank Arora, technical analyst, Mehta Equities.
Arora added that a break below ₹750 could trigger a downside move toward potential targets of ₹700 and ₹680.
“A stop loss is advised near 800 for all existing short positions, as the stock continues its downward trajectory. An RSI (14) reading of approximately 32 indicates weak momentum, suggesting the stock is likely to decline further toward the mentioned levels,” he added.
