HUDCO share price today

HUDCO share price today was trading nearly 2% down following Q4 results, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹223.45 apiece on the BSE, and an intraday low of ₹208 per share.

Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments said that HUDCO share price is forming a 72-day-long cup and handle pattern on the daily chart, with the cup completed and the handle currently developing. However, the absence of institutional volumes during both the base formation and handle development raises concerns for bulls.

The structure remains technically bullish, but a breakout above ₹235 will only be considered reliable if supported by strong volume. A high-volume breakout above ₹235 can lead to an extended move toward ₹258.
