Is it the right time to buy Apollo Micro Systems shares?

Technical experts see the potential for an upside in the stock as the stock is trading above major moving averages, and the daily MACD is also indicating an improvement in momentum.

According to Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Technical Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, the stock is currently trading near the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement level, which coincides with a key trendline support, suggesting a potential area of price stabilisation.

The MACD on the daily chart is also indicating a loss of downside momentum, hinting at a possible reversal ahead.

“This confluence of technical factors strengthens the case for a near-term recovery. As long as the stock sustains above ₹257, the broader structure remains constructive, and a rebound towards the ₹310 zone can be anticipated. A close below ₹257, however, would weaken the setup and invite further consolidation pressure,” said Patel.

On the other hand, brokerage firm Centrum Broking believe the overall set-up looks strong for the stock and investors may bet on the stock with a target price of ₹320 and a stop loss of ₹264.

“The stock gave a breakout from a falling wedge pattern on the daily chart. It is also trading well above its 100 and 200 DMAs. The momentum indicators and oscillators have given a buy crossover on the daily chart,” the brokerage firm noted.
