CONCOR share price today
CONCOR share price today opened at an intraday high of ₹484 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday low of ₹476.50 per share.
Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, said the stock witnessed a sharp rally in mid-June, climbing from around ₹440 to the current ₹480 levels, and has since entered a consolidation phase within the ₹465-480 range over the past couple of weeks.
According to Bhosale, the short-term outlook remains positive, and a decisive breakout above ₹480 could trigger the next leg of the rally towards ₹530. On the downside, ₹465 is a crucial support level, and he recommends maintaining a 'buy on dips' strategy as long as the stock holds above this level.
