Technical analysts have provided their insights into the stock's future trajectory:
- Jigar Patel from Anand Rathi advised investors to consider booking profits. He identified a support level at Rs 680 and resistance at Rs 735. A decisive breakout above Rs 735 could pave the way for a move towards Rs 750. Patel expects the stock to trade within the Rs 680–Rs 750 range in the short term.
- Kunal Kamble, Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, noted a strong breakout above the major resistance zone near Rs 560, supported by heavy volume expansion, indicating strong buying momentum. Kamble highlighted that the stock is trading above all key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), confirming a healthy medium-term uptrend. While the RSI near 78 suggests strong momentum, it also indicates the stock is slightly overbought in the short term.
