It is apparent from the charts of the stock that it has been on an intermediate-term uptrend from its November 2011 low of Rs 53. Medium-term trend is also up for the stock.

The daily relative strength index has entered the bullish zone and weekly RSI has re-entered the bullish zone from the neutral region. The daily moving average convergence divergence indicator has signalled a buy and is featuring in the positive territory.

The weekly MACD is moving higher in line with the stock price. Both daily and weekly price rate of change indicators are hovering in the positive area implying buying interest. We are bullish on the stock from the short-term perspective. We expect its rally to continue and reach our price target of Rs 125 or Rs 127 in the upcoming trading sessions. Traders with short-term perspective can buy the stock with stop-loss at Rs 117 levels.
