TECHNICAL_INFOGRAPHIC_1
Technical Outlook
The capital goods sector has been one of the key outperformers of CY22 and is seen extending its up move after higher base formation in the first four months of CY23. Within the sector, we remain constructive on AIA Engineering as it remains in strong up trend and is at the cusp of generating a breakout above last five months consolidation (2988-2665) signalling resumption of up move

Structurally, as per change of polarity concept stock rebounded in Jan23 after retesting the multiyear trendline breakout area placed around ₹ 2400-2500 levels, highlighting strength that augurs well for next leg of up move

The stock, in the smaller time frame, has witnessed a faster retracement as it retraced its five weeks decline (₹2988-2665) in just three weeks signalling end of corrective phase
 
We expect the stock to maintain positive bias and head towards ₹ 3410 levels in the coming months being the 123.6% extension of the Jan-Apr 2023 up move (₹2384-2988) as projected from the low of May23 (₹2665)
