Technical analysts largely suggested that the counter has immediate resistance around its one-year high level of Rs 1,604. And, a decisive closing above the mentioned resistance zone is required for further upside. On the other hand, near-term support will be at Rs 1,535.

Shiju Koothupalakkal, Technical Research Analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The stock has witnessed a gradual rise in the last four months. Near-term barrier will be at Rs 1,605 and a decisive breach above this level can only trigger a fresh up move for next targets of Rs 1,700-1,820 in the coming days. Major support will be at Rs 1,360."

Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager - Technical Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said, "Support will be at Rs 1,535 and resistance at Rs 1,604. A close above the said resistance level may trigger a further upside till Rs 1,650."

DRS Finvest founder Ravi Singh said, "Traders can expect a near-term target price of Rs 1,650. Keep a strict stop loss at Rs 1,500."

The counter was trading higher than the 5-day, 10-, 20-, 30-, 50-, 100-, 150-, 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The counter's 14-day relative strength index (RSI) came at 65.04. A level below 30 is defined as oversold while a value above 70 is considered overbought.
