"Hence, as long as it sustains above Rs 150 levels it can easily head to test its lifetime highs of Rs 195 registered in September 2018."

"Considering strong uptrend witnessed in this counter, traders are advised to adopt a two-pronged strategy of buying now and on dip preferably in the zone of Rs 160 – 155 levels with a stop below Rs 150 on a closing basis and look for an initial target of Rs 195," he added.
