Tech Analysis
With its peers loosing all the gains of previous year, Itc has been maintaining its support on 215 for quite a few months now, another good support stands at 201 levels. However Itc has always proven itself as a zig zag stock so the next resistance is at 236, which can again bring profit booking in this stock. Look out for these levels and keep a stop loss in ratio of 1:2.
