The daily relative strength index is featuring in the bullish zone and the weekly RSI has just entered this zone from the neutral region. Likewise, the daily moving average convergence divergence indicator is hovering in the positive terrain and weekly indicator is entering in to this terrain implying upward momentum.

A decisive move above the resistance Rs 400 in the ensuing week will pave way for the stock to rally to Rs 450.
