Paytm share price targets, outlook
Virat Jagad, Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza said, "The structure suggests a base formation, however momentum remains neutral with RSI flattening near mid-zone. A buy should be considered only above Rs 1,143, where the stock can decisively reclaim its key EMAs and confirm a trend reversal. Until then, it’s better to stay cautious and avoid premature entries. Sustaining above Rs 1,143 can open upside towards Rs 1,220–1,260, while failure to hold may keep the stock range-bound."
Jigar S Patel from Anand Rathi said, "Support is placed at Rs 1051 , while resistance stands at Rs 1142. A decisive breakout above Rs 1142 could open the door for further upside towards Rs 1200. For the short term, the stock is expected to trade within the Rs 1050 –Rs 1200 range. Profit booking is advised."
Hitesh Tailor, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Broking said, "Momentum-wise, the RSI is placed near the mid-zone with a slight upward tilt, suggesting a gradual improvement in strength. On the upside, resistance is seen around Rs 1180–Rs 1200, while immediate support is placed near Rs 1000. Overall structure remains positive with consolidation at higher levels; a sustained move above resistance can trigger fresh upside momentum towards Rs 1350-1400, while holding above the support zone will be the key to maintain the bullish bias."
