The daily relative strength index has entered the bullish zone from the neutral region and the weekly RSI features in the neutral region, and is likely to enter the bullish zone. Furthermore, the daily as well as the weekly price rate of change indicators feature in the positive terrain, signalling buying interest.

The key resistance at ₹326 limited the upside in late May. An emphatic break above this hurdle will strengthen the up-move and take the stock higher to ₹350 and then to ₹365 levels with a minor past at around ₹350. The medium-term outlook is bullish.
