Technical outlook – What should traders do?
Despite a strong run in the past one year, analysts see more steam left in the stock and advise investors to use any downside as buying opportunities.
“The stock has given a strong break out above Rs 850 and it can touch Rs 1,200. The 21 DEMA lies near Rs 870 and hence investors are advised to keep a stop loss of Rs 870 on the closing basis,” said Vaibhav Kaushik, research analyst, GCL Broking
“On the higher side, Rs 1000 is acting as an important psychological level, above which, we can expect a level of Rs 1100+ in the near-short term, while on the lower side, Rs 900 will act as a major support during any correction,” said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart.
“A favourable buy range lies between Rs 880 and 850, providing an advantageous entry point for investors. The projected target stands at 1100, showcasing substantial growth potential.
