"The overall option chain suggests support around the Rs 5500 level, with a tendency to rally towards 5400. The total volume stands at 6 lakhs, with open interest exceeding 25 lakhs. The PCR for the at-the-money option locates at 0.94, indicating a positive bias. The IV has remained stable at 8 percent," stated Bagkar.
Technical view
Technically, the trend remains bullish, as the price action resulted in a breakout of the trend line on the daily chart. "Sustainability above the key level of the 100-daily moving average, set at 4973, further reinforces a bullish bias. While the stock has entered the overbought territory of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the price action is able to withstand selling pressure on the higher ground," said Bagkar.
