Trading ideas :WOCKPHARMA Feb Fut (Sell below Rs 648 for Target of Rs 636 ,SL at Rs 654): Stock is moving in a downtrend after it took resistance at its 50-DMA and made a short term top around Rs 728 on 6th Jan 2016.

 Multiple attempts to close above the 50-DMA went futile, and the stock has further witnessed a fresh breakdown from a bearish pennant formation. This would lead to a phase of fresh down trend. We advise to SELL WOCKPHARMA Feb Fut below Rs 648, stop loss at Rs 654, and Target of Rs 636.
