“The sharp rebound from this level confirms a successful base retest and indicates renewed buying momentum. If HUL share price sustains above ₹2,600, it will likely trigger a fresh leg of the rally with an initial upside target of ₹2,800. The overall structure remains strong and bullish, supported by improving momentum and healthy volume action, suggesting that the recent consolidation phase has laid the groundwork for further gains,” Jain said.
