Reliance Industries share price traded downwards on Monday, dropping 0.5% to close at ₹1,456. The stock has gained 1.2% in the last five sessions, and is up by 3.5% on the monthly time frame, pointing to a bullish undercurrent. Furthermore, Monday’s session saw a decline in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 Index declining by 140 points (0.56%) and the Sensex losing 511 points (0.62 points).
The current downside is likely propelled by rising risk aversion in equities markets as the Middle East geopolitical risks escalate. That said, Reliance Industries shares has a beta rating of -0.34, indicating a relative contrarian relationship with the broader market. Therefore, a reversal is potentially not far off. However, the conglomerate’s P/E ratio of x28.5 denotes a potential overvaluation, considering an industry average of x23.8. Nonetheless, its diverse operations across retail, energy, defence and digital media offer it a better cushion against market shocks.
Looking ahead, investors will have their eyes on the upcoming quarterly earnings release set for mid-July. The coming weeks will also provide insight into the company’s joint venture with BP in energy and Viacom 18/Disney partnership. These could inject fresh impetus into Reliance Industries share price in the medium-term and limit downward pressure in the near-term.
Reliance Industries Share Price Prediction
Reliance Industries share price pivots at ₹1,458 and persistent resistance at that level signals control by the sellers. The stock will likely find initial support at ₹1,450. Breaking below that level will signal a stronger momentum that could extend the downside to test ₹1,442.
Alternatively, the stock could break above ₹1,458 and shift the momentum to the upside. With the buyers in control, primary resistance will likely be at ₹1,464. Breaking above that level will invalidate the downside narrative. In addition, an extended control by the buyers could send the action higher and test the second hurdle at ₹1,470.
