The stock hit a fresh record high of Rs 461 on 12th October and most technical indicators suggest a possible uptrend to continue that could take the stock towards Rs 650 levels which translates into an upside of over 50 per cent, suggest experts.
Short-term traders can look to buy the stock now or on dips towards Rs 423-400.
The stock moved largely in a range since January 2021 where Rs 448 acted as a peak. It bounced back after hitting a low of Rs 289 on 23 May 2022 to break out of the consolidation range in October.
It is trading well above crucial short- and long-term moving averages such as 5,10,30,50,100 and 200-DMA which is a positive sign for the bulls.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 30 is considered oversold and above is considered 70 overbought, Trendlyne data showed. MACD is above its center and signal line, this is a bullish indicator.
The stock price started its upmove from 59 (August 20) and made a high of 396 back in June 21. Profit booking followed but the stock bounced from the averages and made a new high of 448.25 (Jan 22).
