Technical analysis from Investing.com India suggests the stock may be under FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) momentum, with the stock trading above all major short- and long-term moving averages. The stock needs to sustain above ₹1.50-1.85 for the next leg of the rally towards ₹2.00/2.50-3.00/3.75 and ₹5.00-8.00 in coming days/months, otherwise, it may fall to ₹1.00-0.50 support zone.
