Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company
It is a classic case of volume spread analysis. If we closely look at the monthly chart then the rally which started from April 2021 till September 2021 saw humongous volume. This clearly states that smart money was behind this buying.
What is more interesting is that since then counter saw a 51 percent cut in price with almost slim volume (according to Volume Spread analysis which states that any correction in stocks with slim volume is just a technique used by smart money to wipe out retailers’ position).
