MPS Share Price Target

Hardik Matalia - Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking said, "MPSLTD is currently trading around ₹2,623 and remains in a strong bullish trend on the weekly timeframe, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows over the past several months. This sustained price structure indicates ongoing strength and signals a positive sentiment among market participants. Recently, the stock witnessed a healthy bounce from lower levels, suggesting a continuation of the prevailing uptrend."

"This rebound further supports the bullish structure and highlights growing buying interest. However, for a confirmed trend continuation and fresh upward momentum, a decisive and sustained move above the ₹3,000 mark is essential. Such a breakout could act as a strong trigger for further upside. On the technical front, MPSLTD has successfully bounced off both its short-term and medium-term EMAs on the weekly chart, reinforcing its strong underlying trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 55.25, indicating neutral-to-positive momentum, but also hinting at the possibility of a sideways move or a mild price/time-wise correction in the short term," the analyst added.

"If MPSLTD manages to sustain above the ₹3,000 resistance level, it could open the door for a sharp rally in the near to medium term. On the downside, the stock maintains a strong support base near the ₹2,000 mark. As long as this level holds, the broader trend remains firmly bullish, and any dips towards this support zone can be viewed as a buying opportunity," Hardik Matalia stated.

"Short-term traders can consider entering at current levels or wait for a breakout above ₹3,000 for better conviction and short-term gains. Long-term investors may consider partial accumulation at current levels and look to add more on any meaningful dips. As long as the stock continues to trade above ₹2,000 on a closing basis, the long-term trend remains intact and bullish. A break below this level could lead to a reassessment of the current trend strength," the analyst further recommended.
