BPCL share price: Technical View
According to Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, “BPCL broke out of a bullish 92-day-long cup and handle pattern at 310 in the last session and is sustaining above the breakout zone, although volumes were missing on the breakout day.”
“In many cases, volume tends to rise during the follow-through phase. The structure remains positive as long as the stock holds the breakout zone of 310–305. An upside momentum towards 386 is likely, with a minor hurdle around the 349 level,” added Jain.
