Following a short-term corrective up move, the stock encountered key resistance at Rs 200 this February and resumed its downtrend. Since then, the stock has been on a short-term downtrend.

The stock's daily and weekly price rate of change indicators too are in the negative zone indicating selling interest. Both intermediate and short-term trends of the stock are down and intact. We are bearish on the stock from a short-term perspective. We expect its decline to continue and reach our price target of Rs 140 or Rs 135.5 in the forthcoming trading sessions.
