Patel advised traders to remain cautious near the current resistance and consider a fresh entry either after a healthy pullback or following a confirmed breakout above ₹645.
For investors tracking the stock, the key levels to watch are ₹600 on the downside and ₹645 on the upside. The next move will depend on whether the stock can sustain its recovery and overcome the resistance zone.
