In plain words

What the chart above shows, measured. Not advice.

  • The price is above its 50-day average (Rs 21.01) but below its 200-day average (Rs 26.87): better than recent months, still below the year's average.
  • Momentum (RSI) is 69, between the 30 and 70 that chart readers watch: neither a fast rise nor a fast fall.
  • Today's trading is 2.7× its usual daily volume: far more shares changed hands than normal.
  • +15.23% over the last month, +2.25% over the last three.

If you had invested

Not enough price history for this period, or a share split inside it that the prices are not adjusted for.

Before brokerage and tax, counting part shares. Past prices do not tell you future ones.
