This technical setup offers a favorable risk-reward profile, positioning the stock for a potential bullish reversal and the next leg of uptrend.This ₹1270–₹1300 range serves as a crucial support area, reinforced by the convergence of multiple technical factors: (a) 61.8% retracement of the previous April 2025-January 2026 up move (1115-1611) (b) 200 weeks EMA placed around 1292, which has historically acted as strong demand area for the stockThe ongoing corrective phase appears to be nearing exhaustion, with price action indicating the potential for a fresh bullish reversal.
