Trendline Breakout - SCI

Technical Analysis:

• Current Price: ₹188 (as of May 16, 2025, around 3:30 PM IST, it's trading slightly higher around ₹188.50).
  
• Stop Loss: A closing basis stop loss at ₹170 is a good way to manage risk. If the price closes below this level, it would suggest the breakout might be invalid.
  
• Targets: Your targets of ₹200 and ₹240 represent potential upside levels based on the breakout.

Key Factors to Consider:

• Breakout Confirmation: It's crucial to see if the breakout is sustained with good trading volume in the coming days. A breakout without strong volume can sometimes be a false signal.
  
• Market Conditions: The overall market sentiment and the performance of the shipping sector will play a role in SCI's price movement.
  
• Q4FY25 Results: SCI is scheduled to announce its Q4 and full-year results ending March 31, 2025, on Friday, May 16, 2025. These results and any dividend announcement could significantly impact the stock price.
  
• Technical Indicators: While you've identified a trendline breakout, it can be helpful to look at other technical indicators (like RSI, MACD) to see if they support the bullish momentum.
