    The stellar run has only picked up pace in 2021, as NMDC has surged 58 percent year-to-date.

    It has been in a rangebound trade since hitting a 52-week high of Rs 213.15 on 12 May 2021, but now the stock seems to have resumed its next leg of the rally.

    According to technical charts, the stock has broken out of a long-term downward sloping channel and could be on track to hit fresh highs in the next 3-4 months.

    Investors holding the stocks should continue to hold it while fresh money can be deployed at current levels or on dips. Traders can look at buying the stock for a target of Rs 213-240 which translates into an upside of 17-32% in the next 3-4 months, suggest experts.

    Technically, the stock is trading comfortably above short and long-term averages which is a positive for the bulls.

    "On the monthly chart prices have broken out of long term downward sloping channel formation with strong volumes. RSI (Relative Strength Index) is placed above 70 levels which suggest a strong build-up in momentum on the monthly chart. Hence, any pullback on the lower timeframe should be taken as buying opportunity," Jignesh Pandya, Sr. Research Analyst at Monarch Networth Capital Limited said.
