Speaking on the outlook of Reliance Power shares, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking said, "Reliance Power shares are in continuous uptrend for the last two weeks. However, the stock is facing a hurdle at ₹30 per share level. Reliance Power shares have strong support at ₹22 apiece level. So, those who have Reliance Power shares in their portfolio should maintain strict stop loss at ₹22 apiece level. On breaching this immediate hurdle, the stock may touch the ₹34 per share mark in the short term."

On the suggestion to the fresh investors, Sumeet Bagadia said that fresh buying is not advised at the current market price. One can initiate fresh buying once the stock gives a breakout above ₹30 apiece on a closing basis. He said that once the stock gives a breakout above ₹30, current shareholders can upgrade their trailing stop loss to ₹28. He said that fresh buyers may also buy the stock above ₹30 apiece level maintaining a stop loss at ₹28 for a short-term target of ₹34.
