M&M Finance Share Price Target

"M_MFIN is currently trading at ₹269 and moving sideways after a notable reversal from the 200 EMA on the weekly chart. This reversal likely triggered profit booking at higher levels. Recently, the stock faced rejection at the 200-day EMA, indicating weakening bullish momentum. Moreover, it continues to trade below key short- and long-term exponential moving averages - the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day - further reinforcing a bearish outlook," commented Hardik Matalia - Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking.

"The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 46.57 and trending lower, indicating rising selling pressure. The price action and technical indicators together point to cautious sentiment among traders. A decisive breakout above the 200 EMA could shift momentum and pave the way for an upside move toward ₹300. However, if the stock breaks below its immediate support at ₹262, it may extend its decline toward the next support zone around ₹246. Traders should watch these key levels for confirmation of the next directional move," Hardik Matalia further recommended.

"The stock is showing a positive trend after consolidating near ₹250 levels. A sustained move above ₹270 could lead to targets of ₹285-₹295. RSI and volume indicators support bullish momentum. Support is placed at ₹255. Traders can consider buying on dips with a stop-loss at ₹255 for short-term upside potential," commented Riyank Arora - Technical Analyst - Mehta Equities Limited
