Trend structure

Momentum
The momentum gauges point the same way, and that way is up. RSI (14) is 73.3, above its conventional overbought threshold. The MACD histogram is positive, describing the shorter average's position relative to the longer one rather than anything about the next session.
Volatility and range
Average true range over 14 sessions is ₹6.45, or 3.31% of price — that is the size of a typical day for this stock recently, and it is the yardstick that makes today's move large or ordinary. The 20-day volatility band ran from ₹161.75 to ₹186.96, and the close sat above the upper band.
