On Monday, the stock gained 4.3 per cent accompanied by good volume breaking above a key medium-term resistance level of ₹155. Following a medium-term downtrend, the stock found support at ₹135 in early September 2018. Subsequently, the stock changed direction and has been on a short-term uptrend since late September. But, a key resistance at ₹155 was capping the upside in late November and December. The recent 4 per cent rally has conclusively taken the stock above the key resistance level of ₹155.
