Nykaa shares crash to record low as stock continues to decline. Key levels to watch

“Nykaa share price chart pattern suggests lower top lower bottom formation and the stock has been continuously nosediving after giving breakdown at ₹160 apiece levels. The immediate support for the fashion retail stock is placed at ₹110 levels and it may hit double-digit figure if the current support is breached. Those who have this stock in their portfolio are advised to maintain strict stop loss at ₹110 and try to exit the position on any rebound caused by short covering,” said Anuj Gupta, Vice President — Research at IIFL Securities.

Last week, media reports suggested the shares of the Nykaa parent company were sold by an undisclosed player at ₹148.90 a piece to raise $26 million via a block deal. 

Goldman Sachs, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board bought stake in FSN E-Commerce Ventures in December in block deals.
