Technical View
Hero MotoCorp share price has been trading within a falling channel for the past six months, undergoing a structured corrective phase rather than aggressive distribution, noted Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.
“Hero MotoCorp stock price is consistently defending the lower end of the channel with ease, while volumes have gradually dried up, signalling exhaustion in selling pressure and often acting as a precursor to breakout setups. Price compression within the channel indicates improving risk-reward for bulls. Initial momentum is likely to emerge above ₹5,318, which acts as the first trigger zone for buyers,” said Jain.
A decisive breakout from the channel is placed near ₹5,480, which also stands as the immediate short-term target. Sustained trade below recent supports would delay the bullish resolution, he added.
