How to Read the Charts?

The Green colour line reflects the 21-period moving average, while the red line indicates the 50- period moving average. SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving averages, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend. 

The Black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period), which indicates the strength of the price trend. A reading above 50 indicates a positive momentum, while below 50 indicates a negative momentum. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status, while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status. 

The Blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the stock. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. Stocks with high volumes are more liquid than stocks with lesser volumes, and higher liquidity in stocks helps in easier and faster execution of the order. 

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and are used for trend identification purposes. The trend lines also act as a line of support and resistance. 

Stop-loss: It is a level to protect further losses in case of unfavourable movement in the stock prices.

The reference date for all price data, currency, technical indicators, support, and resistance levels is March 15, 2023. The reference data in this report has been partly sourced from REFINITIV.
