The recent rally has also enabled the stock to surpass its 21- and 50-DMAs and trade well above them.

Investors with a short-term horizon can buy the stock at current levels. The stock has been in a medium-term uptrend since recording a 52-week low at ₹147.2 in late March this year. Following corrective decline, the stock found support at ₹212 in mid-May and gradually started to trend upwards.

With the breaking out of key resistance at ₹235, the stock appears to have resumed the up move. There has been an increase in daily volume over the past two weeks.

A letter from the Editor

The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.

Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers.
