According to Rajesh Bhosale - Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst, Angel One, Kirloskar Electric share prices witnessed a gap up opening. However, follow up buying is not there and prices have come-off from the morning highs.
“Volume activity is huge and closing would be crucial. Bullish gap left around ₹123 likely to act as support, and if it holds then expect resumption of upmove. On the flip side, morning's open high around 136 is seen as immediate resistance," explained Bhosale.
