However, Mehata advised investors to exercise caution since the stock was trading in overbought zone. “Despite this strength, caution is advised as the stock approaches an overbought condition, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) trading at Rs 84 levels. This suggests potential vulnerability to a correction. Notably, a substantial support zone lies at Rs 410 levels, approximately 27% below the current price. Short-term traders who entered at lower levels are recommended to book profits, considering the historical significance of the support at Rs 410.”

Abhijeet from Tips2trades said, "Adani Power looks bullish & extremely overbought on the Daily charts with next resistance now at Rs 623. Investors should book profits at current levels as a Daily close below the support of Rs 530 could lead to a target of Rs 416 in the near term."

The share has zoomed 30% in the last five sessions amid the BJP winning three state polls recently which added to the gains of the Adani Group stocks.

According to the Bloomberg report, a senior US official stated that the US government deemed Hindenburg Research's accusations of corporate fraud against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani irrelevant. The decision was made before approving an extension of up to $553 million for his conglomerate's container terminal project in Sri Lanka.
