Should you buy RVNL stock after Q4 results?

RVNL share price has corrected 52.68% from its all-time high post the buying climax and is now staging a mean reversion bounce.

“The logical resistance and target lies at ₹475, which marks the 50% retracement of the entire fall. This level also aligns with weekly swing high wicks and zones where previous longs were trapped during the correction. The confluence of these factors makes ₹475 a significant hurdle and an ideal level to book profits,” said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.
