Although the broader markets ended the session in the green zone, with the index jumping 0.32% to 19,632.55, many stocks witnessed selling pressure. Here are 2 F&O counters that are now looking weak on the chart, amid today’s selling spree.
Bata India Limited
Bata India Ltd (NS:) is a mid-cap footwear manufacturer with a market capitalization of INR 22,568 crore and trades at a TTM P/E ratio of 69.87. The stock had been rising consistently since it bottomed out in April 2023 without giving any major correction or a dip for investors to go long. The whole price action took the form of a very narrow rising trendline channel which is generally rare to see.

However, today was the day when the price gave a signal of reversal as it closed below the lower trendline support of the channel, falling 3.17% to 1,700.3. I think this fall would likely be followed by a small retracement, at least till INR 1,720, which will probably be an ideal level for short positions. On the downside, INR 1,640 should be the first level to eye for.
Berger Paints India Limited
Berger Paints India Ltd (NS:) is a large-cap paint manufacturer with a market capitalization of INR 68,902 crore and trades at a TTM P/E ratio of 80.17 which is significantly higher than the industry’s average of 21.02. Apart from its expensive valuations, another trigger for an impending fall of the share price is soaring oil prices which have been rising continuously since July 2023 and today reached their highest level of 2023, at $83.9 per barrel (WTI).

Oil is a major component in paint manufacturing and rising oil prices put pressure on the profit margins of the company. The stock also fell 1.51% to INR 698.6 in today’s session, backed by a heavy volume of 2.63 million shares, which is the highest one-day figure in 2023. The stock seems all set to touch its next support of INR 670.
