The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remained positive at 2.1, reinforcing near-term bullishness, but analysts had warned of the likelihood of a pullback.
Adani bid, resolution buzz fuelled rally

The recent rally was partly driven by reports that the Adani Group had submitted a bid to acquire the debt-laden
Jaiprakash Associates
, a compnay linked to JP Power via a corporate guarantee on a $150 million external commercial borrowing, which was later converted into a rupee loan.
Jaiprakash Associates is undergoing insolvency proceedings and has reportedly drawn interest from six bidders: Adani, Vedanta, JSPL, Suraksha Group, Dalmia Bharat and PNC Infratech. The proposals are believed to be for acquiring the company in full, raising hopes of clarity on liabilities that could benefit JP Power.

Analyst view: Resistance ahead, accumulation evident
Kunal Kamble, Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza Portfolio, had earlier said that JP Power has broken out of a 17-month consolidation zone, supported by rising volume that reflects increased buyer interest.
Kamble had noted that the stock is nearing a crucial resistance at Rs 24, and a decisive close above this level could unlock stronger upside momentum.
'The stock's position above key exponential moving averages reflects bullish sentiment, with the recovering monthly RSI indicating renewed strength,' Kamble added, pointing to strong accumulation. He projected fresh entry potential above Rs 24, with a stop-loss at Rs 17, and sees possible medium-term upside to Rs 38–45 if momentum persists.
Despite Tuesday's decline, the stock remains up 42.5% in 2025 so far and has delivered a 1364% return over the past five years. The stock is up 46% in 2025 so far.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The co-founders, Jimit Bagadiya and Tejas Mehta, confirmed the acquisition, though the deal size remains officially undisclosed. The acquisition is being described by tech industry insiders as "one of the biggest exits by a bootstrapped startup in India" and "a landmark moment for Gujarat's IT sector", which has largely remained behind metros like Bengaluru and Pune in high-value acquisitions. Started in 2014 with no outside investment, SocialPilot has grown steadily over the past decade into one of India's most successful self-funded tech ventures. which serves more than 2 million small and medium-sized businesses across 15 countries, said the acquisition will help deepen its reach in the social media marketing space. For Bagadiya and Mehta, the decision to sell was driven by a vision to scale. "We decided to sell our entire stake to said Bagadiya, CEO. "My partner is based in the US, and after running SocialPilot for over a decade, we reached a stage where the business was profitable, growing steadily, and operating at scale. But we also recognised that to unlock the next phase — expanding into new markets, deepening the product, and accelerating distribution — we needed stronger leverage, either through funding or a strategic partnership. " Interestingly, the tool was originally built for e-commerce sellers struggling to promote products on social media. "While working on e-commerce projects for clients in the US and Europe, we recognised that e-commerce sellers were unable to promote their products effectively on social media. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So, we built SocialPilot. Which over time evolved into a full-fledged platform for marketing agencies and SMBs, helping manage, schedule, and analyse posts across platforms," he said. Box: Co-founder rose from modest background Ahmedabad: Behind this success is a story of quiet persistence and modest beginnings. Jimit Bagadiya grew up in Limbdi, a small town in Gujarat's Surendranagar district. His father ran a tiny kirana shop and his mother sold papad and khakhra from home with help from his sisters. Bagadiya moved to Ahmedabad in Class 7. "I began living in a Jain hostel. Although the original fee was Rs 10,000 per year, concessions brought it down to Rs 2,500, a sum my family worked hard to cover. I completed my BCA and started my first job in 2004 for a montly salary of Rs 4,000," said Bagadiya, who then constantly worked on developing different skills and set up SocialPilot in 2014.
