Although the counter is looking lucrative but at the current juncture it is near its resistance zone of Rs 455-465 levels. Also volume is very high at extreme price levels which is a sign of exhaustion.
One can book some profits at current levels and other higher levels if achieved. Fresh buying as of now is not advised.

One can buy this at current levels with upside potential of Rs 600 and downside support seen at Rs 420.
Birla Corporation has consolidated since last month in the range of Rs 825-890. Recently the stock has given a clean range breakout on daily chart along with volume picking up and awesome Oscillator is showing bullish divergence, which is an early sign of further up move.
Last but not the least, Birla Corporation has formed a bullish bat on the daily chart. The best part about this pattern is that it took 3.5 months to complete (more time taken to complete is more favourable).
