The stock was in a consolidation mode since April, 2024. The consolidation has taken form of a falling wedge pattern. The stock has broken out of that wedge pattern on the upside indicating resumption of next leg of the up move. The daily momentum indicator has a positive crossover which is a buy signal.
The breakout has been accompanied with above average volume indicating strong hands entering the stock which is likely to support the up move. Thus, both price and momentum indicators are pointing towards resumption of the up move.
We expect the stock to move towards 917 which is the previous swing high and beyond that it can stretch towards its previous all-time high of Rs 968. One should place a Stop Loss of Rs 835 for the long positions.
