Hindustan Zinc : Strong Comeback from Demand Zone with High Vol

466
📈Technical Analysis

Since 2020, Hindustan Zinc rose from ₹130–₹150 to ₹380–₹400 by 2021, and this ₹380–₹400 zone acted as a major resistance level throughout 2022 and 2023.

In April 2024, the stock broke out above the ₹380–₹400 resistance zone and surged to an all-time high of ₹807 in May 2024.

From that peak, the stock experienced a sharp correction of nearly 50% and dropped back to the ₹380 level. However, the same ₹380–₹400 zone, which previously acted as strong resistance, has now turned into a solid support zone, as seen in March, April, and May 2025.

Taking support from this demand zone, the stock rebounded sharply and broke its recent lower high, supported by a significant trading volume of 15.5 million shares — the highest volume recorded in the past nine months.

If this bullish momentum continues, the stock may potentially reach the first target of ₹580, the second target of ₹695, and the third target of ₹810, which marks its all-time high.

Targets:
🎯 ₹580 (Target 1)
🎯 ₹695 (Target 2)
🎯 ₹810 (All-time high, Target 3)

Support Levels:
🔻 ₹475–₹485 (first support)
🔻 ₹380–₹400 (major demand zone)

👍This demonstrates a textbook resistance-turned-support confirmation with bullish price structure.
