Aegis Logistics features prominently in the gainers list today with a rally of about 12%. This rally has resulted in a big breakout which would attract the attention of lots of analyst / traders.

Notice how the prior rally was halted at the area of resistance or sellers at Rs.186-188 range. Pay attention to the repeated attempts last week to edge past this level. It is also interesting to note that the price got into a consolidation ahead of this resistance, which is a sign that the price is restoring energy expended in the prior run-up. Whenever price consolidates ahead of such a key resistance, a big breakout is inevitable.
