Today, we saw some profit booking at higher levels. Short-term support could be seen at Rs 130 and strong support will be at Rs 115 level."
Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager - Technical Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said, "Since last three months, the counter has been making higher highs and higher lows structure on a daily scale. At the current juncture, the said counter has taken support near 21-EMA (Exponential moving average). As we advance, Rs 150 would be stiff resistance and support is seen around Rs 130."
