Momentum indicators like RSI are comfortably placed in bullish territory, supporting the continuation of the uptrend. As long as Patanjali Foods sustains above Rs. 1,830, the bias remains firmly positive, and any dip toward ₹1,850-Rs. 1,855 can be considered a fresh buying opportunity with a stop-loss below Rs. 1,820." according to Riyank Arora, technical analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd.
