Hindustan Unilever: Buy on Declines| LTP: Rs 2612| Target: Rs 2720| Stop Loss: Rs 2500| Upside 5%

The stock has been witnessing consolidation and investors could expect a 2-3 per cent decline from here. The chart remains positive and a pul back is expected unless it falls below 2500 which is a strong supporting level, Jain said. There is a resistance at levels aroound 2720. The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 2734 on 3rd October 2022. The weakness appears on the short term basis, he added. He said that FMCG as a sector is seeing some consolidation and one must avoid the stocks in this sector if one is doing it for trading perspective.
