Long-term investors should hold, adding on dips above Rs 245. Eternal shares have rallied nearly 34% from their April lows, currently trading around Rs 262, driven by investor optimism. The stock is also placed above its medium and long-term daily exponential moving averages.

According to Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager - Technical Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, traders should consider booking profits at current levels.
He highlighted that the stock "appears to be exhausted after a sharp rally of 42.58% from the recent bottom of Rs 194.80, currently trading near Rs 262." Patel warned that the daily RSI is showing negative divergence, indicating a potential loss of momentum.He added that a close below Rs 260 may trigger further downside toward Rs 250." Based on this, short-term traders are advised to exit positions or adopt a cautious approach near Rs 260.
ADVERTISEMENT Offering a tactical view, Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking, suggested that traders could look for buying opportunities if the stock shows signs of reversal from the current support zone or breaks above Rs 278.He noted that, 'Eternal is forming a structure of higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart—indicating the emergence of bullish sentiment."

Rs 4700000000000: Enemy has 1650 fighter jets, India has only 522; India needs huge money for..., will IAF be able to...
(File) In an environment which is political tensed and tensions continue to simmer across India's borders with China and Pakistan, various questions are being asked about the Indian Air Force's preparedness vis-à-vis India's two neighbours, Pakistan and China. According to various reports, China has 66 squadrons of fighter jets with each squadron having 18 to 20 planes each, taking the total number to 1200, which is nearly double the number of aircrafts 600 fighter aircrafts. Here are all the details you need to know about Indian Airforce's current capacity. Indian Airforce vs China and Pakistan Apart from China, India's enemy Pakistan has 25 squadrons of fighter jets having around 450 fighter jets. Therefore, if India retires the two squadrons of Mig-21 planes which are expected to retire in the next few days, the capacity of the Indian Air Force is expected to decrease. What does Indian Air Force need? As per media reports, the cost of a single jet was estimated at around Rs 1,600 crore. Considering inflation and upgrades, the current price of a Rafale or its advanced variant is unlikely to be below Rs 2,000 crore per jet. Given that India requires 234 fighter jets, the total cost of the procurement deal is projected to be approximately Rs 4.70 lakh crore, as per a report by News 18 Hindi. India's 5th-generation stealth fighter jet gets key clearance In an important development for India's air superority, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved the Execution Model for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme. As per a report by IANS news agency, the AMCA clearance marks a critical step towards realising India's goal of joining an elite club of nations in designing and producing its own fleet of next-generation combat aircraft. The IANS report also says that the project will be helmed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said the Defence Ministry in a press release. The AMCA, widely seen as India's answer to fifth-generation air power, will give a major boost to achieving 'atmanirbharata' in the defence sector and will become a hallmark of India's growing defence capabilities.

Is buying a 2BHK in a Tier 3 city a bad investment? Reddit post sparks discussion
When a Reddit user shared that their parents had bought a 2BHK flat in Vidisha - a Tier-3 city in Madhya Pradesh - it wasn't a celebration, but a question that followed: 'Is this a bad investment?'In their post, the user said that the flat was purchased in 2022 for Rs 25 lakh, and is located near a medical college and district hospital, just off NH-146, which is expected to be upgraded to a four-lane user, however, was worried about the property's future value and liquidity: 'Most flats in the same building are unsold. We will need to sell it in 5-6 years for my education. Should I be worried?' While the monthly rental income of Rs 10,000 offers some comfort, the user wondered aloud about the return they might expect by the post here: The post drew responses from several Reddit users - some blunt, some encouraging, and others offering practical advice.'Flat in a Tier 3 city is a very bad idea. Forget appreciation, you may not recover invested capital too,' one user argued that standalone houses or land fare better in small towns where flat culture hasn't fully taken root. 'Invest in a land then. Way better returns than a residential flat,' a comment not all responses were negative. Some users said that the rental yield indicated demand, suggesting the property could touch Rs 40 lakh or more in the future. 'Rental income is good. That means there is demand for your flat,' one user said.- EndsTrending Reel
