The highlight of the week came on 23 September when Sunflag Iron & Steel surged 9.99% to close at Rs.390.85, hitting the upper circuit limit. The stock opened and closed at this peak price, reflecting intense demand and a lack of sellers willing to part with shares at lower levels.

The volume of 64,086 shares indicated sustained investor interest. The stock’s ability to hold gains above key moving averages reinforced the bullish technical stance, while the broader market’s weakness underscored the stock’s relative outperformance.
