📊 Analysis: Marico is trading at 729 ₹, below its 50 DMA (740 ₹) but above the 200 DMA (716 ₹), showing short-term weakness but medium-term support. RSI at 44.5 indicates mildly oversold conditions, while MACD (-5.12) reflects bearish momentum. Intraday volume (32.1 lakh) is slightly above the weekly average (30.5 lakh), suggesting healthy participation. Fundamentals remain strong with ROE 36.5%, ROCE 42.8%, and EPS at 14.9 ₹, but high P/E (49 vs industry 23.2) and expensive PEG ratio (5.18) limit valuation comfort.
💰 Optimal Buy Price (Intraday): 725–730 ₹ (near support zone).
📈 Profit-Taking Levels: 740 ₹ (first resistance), 755 ₹ (secondary resistance).
⚠️ Stop-Loss / Loss Protection: 718 ₹ (below intraday support).
⏱️ If Already Holding: Exit if price fails to sustain above 740 ₹ with volume confirmation or if RSI dips below 42 intraday. Hold for extended gains only if momentum sustains above 755 ₹ with strong volume recovery.
