VST Industries Share Price Target Mandar Bhojane - Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking said, "VSTIND is in a long-term uptrend, currently trading at 4,766.45, near its record-high levels. The stock has consistently formed higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart and it has formed a rounding bottom pattern, indicating a potential breakout from its current range.

This potential breakout is supported by notable trading volumes, suggesting a continuation of the uptrend. After bouncing from its support zones, if the stock sustains above the 4,900 level, it could likely continue its upward trajectory toward new highs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 70.

62, which suggests that the stock might undergo a time-wise correction or continue to trade sideways with a bias to the upside." "Additionally, VSTIND has recently rebounded from its short-term (20-day) and medium-term (50-day) EMA levels, reinforcing the strength of the current uptrend. In summary, based on the technical analysis and current market conditions, VSTIND offers a compelling buying opportunity above its recent high for investors aiming for higher price targets.

The stock's key support zone near the 4,440 level further strengthens its appeal, as it provides a solid foundation for potential upward movement. However, it is crucial to employ appropriate risk management strategies to safeguard against any downside risk," the analyst commented.
