After falling over 42 percent since July last year, Vestas Wind Systems established a bottom around 353 kroner and traded more sideways between the support around 385 kroner and resistance around 454 kroner this year. The stock has now broken out of the trading range and given a buy signal. This recent rise in price is also supported by higher volume. Also, short-term momentum of the stock is strongly positive, with RSI above 70. This indicate increasing optimism among investors and further price increase for Vestas Wind Systems.
Next resistance level is not before 563 kroner on Investtech’s medium term chart. However, there is support around 434 kroner. This gives a favorable risk-reward ratio.

Investtech's recommendation: Buy

ITC Limited (ITC.NS) Close: 311.65 

ITC Limited has broken up through the ceiling of the rising trend channel in the medium long term.

Resistance is around 342 rupees and a close over this level may initiate new buy.
Positive volume balance and strong momentum strengthens the stock in the short term.

The Kraft Heinz Comp (KHC.NA) Close: 58.79

The Kraft Heinz Comp share price has fallen sharply since topping out early last year and is still in a downward falling trend channel. Further price fall is suggested.

Volume balance and momentum indicators suggest no clear direction. The stock is overall assessed as technically negative for the medium term.
This stock is listed on Nasdaq, the US, and is traded in dollars.
