Shares of InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) have been in a downtrend since February 06, after the stock came within striking distance of its 52-week high. In the following trading sessions the stock has declined over 16 per cent, and is now seen trading below its 20-, 50- and 100-DMA (Daily Moving Averages).
On the daily chart, the 20-DMA at Rs 2,068 is now seen converging towards its 50-DMA at Rs 2,045. As and when, the 20-DMA slips below the 50-DMA, the bias will further favour the bears.
Meanwhile, on the downside, the stock seems headed towards its crucial support at the 200-DMA placed at Rs 1,873. One needs to see, if the stock manages to hold this support level.
On the upside, the 100-DMA at Rs 1,930 and the lower-end of the Bollinger Bands at Rs 1,950 are likely to be the near-term hurdles for the stock.
