Godfrey Phillips India Share Price Target

Mandar Bhojane – Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice International Limited said, “The daily chart of Godfrey Phillips India reflects a strong bearish sentiment, closing at Rs 5,626.20. The stock is trading below its 20-day EMA, 50-day EMA and 100-day EMA, indicating sustained selling pressure and weakening momentum. The 200-day EMA at Rs 4,929.41 emerges as the next critical support level. Recent price action suggests a downward trend, with no signs of immediate recovery. Moderate trading volumes further affirm cautious market sentiment, as traders await clearer direction.”

“A breach of the Rs 5,887.16 level, corresponding to the 100-day EMA, confirms bearish dominance, increasing the likelihood of testing the Rs 4,929 support zone which indicates The 200-day EMA as the next critical support level. This breakdown below key technical levels indicates downward sentiment, with traders likely cautious of further losses. The sharp decline in price and volume suggests GODFRYPHLP may continue its downward trend in the near term, especially if broader market conditions remain unfavourable,” the analyst further added.
