Berger Paints India forms bearish engulfing candle

The stock of Berger Paints India Limited has formed a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern on the daily timeframe. This pattern is considered to be a bearish reversal pattern and usually occurs at the top of an uptrend.

Among the momentum indicators, the leading indicator, 14-period daily RSI, cooled off after touching the zone of 66 and at present, its reading is 59.94. The daily stochastic has also given a bearish crossover, which indicates a further downside momentum. The RSI is showing a negative divergence on the daily chart, which suggests a limited upside.
