The stock has been showing signs of picking up while remaining in a downtrend. In the process, it has given a higher close for the ongoing week at $0.0165. The technical indicator RSI with a reading around 37 suggests a weak trend for the stock.

Going forward, the stock may have resistance around the 61.8% retracement level of $0.0219 whereas support could be around the lower Bollinger band of $0.0107.

Stock Recommendation

Meanwhile, its net cash flow from operating activities remained negative at $2.05 million in the year to date ended 31 March 2021. The stock has increased by ~17.8% in 1 month. It has made a 52-week low and high of $0.014 and $0.042, respectively. However, the company has witnessed a fall in the current ratio.

Considering the impact of sustained higher operating expenses, along with its negative operating cash flow, negative earnings in H1FY21, current trading level, and the associated business risks, we give a “Sell” recommendation on the stock at the current market price of $0.016 per share, up by 3.125% on 1st July 2021.
