The stock closed at ₹1,53,400, down from the previous close of ₹1,55,145.85, marking a day change of -1.13%. The intraday price fluctuated between ₹1,53,150 and ₹1,55,600, while the 52-week range spans from ₹1,00,500 to ₹1,63,500. This price movement occurs against a backdrop of evolving technical signals that merit close attention.
Examining the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, the weekly chart signals a mildly bearish stance, whereas the monthly chart maintains a bullish posture. This divergence suggests that while short-term momentum may be experiencing some pressure, the longer-term trend retains strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on both weekly and monthly timeframes currently does not indicate a definitive signal, implying a neutral momentum without clear overbought or oversold conditions.
Bollinger Bands, which measure volatility and price levels relative to moving averages, show a mildly bullish indication on both weekly and monthly charts. This suggests that price volatility remains contained within an upward bias, albeit with limited conviction. Daily moving averages also reflect a mildly bullish trend, reinforcing the notion of cautious optimism in the near term.
The Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator, a momentum oscillator, presents bullish signals on both weekly and monthly scales, highlighting underlying strength in price momentum over multiple time horizons. Conversely, the Dow Theory assessment reveals a mildly bearish trend on the weekly chart and no clear trend on the monthly chart, indicating some uncertainty in market direction according to this classical technical framework.
On-Balance Volume (OBV), which tracks volume flow to confirm price trends, shows a mildly bearish signal weekly but a bullish signal monthly. This mixed volume pattern suggests that while short-term selling pressure may be present, longer-term accumulation could be supporting the stock price.
