Over past two months, share price has retested its breakout level and made a strong bounce validating elevated support at decade long resistance which is now acting as support. Another key observation has been that stock has held its 12month rising EMA on numerous occasions over past two years, each time rallying back to fresh 52-week high.

We expect share price to head towards ₹200 which is identical highs of CY09 and CY10
