"Price has pushed back from lower Bollinger Band formation. Furthermore, the price has traded below the rising trend line, which indicates pressure on the counter. On the other hand, it has also moved below the 21 days SMA’s and Parabolic Sar, which signifies bearish strength for short term," Choice Broking said.

"Additionally, momentum indicator RSI(14) has shown positive crossover, which indicates bullishness. So, based on this technical analysis we expect sideways move on the counter," it added.
