September 16 itself broke from that historical pattern with a 1.23% gain. The share opened at its low and closed ₹18 higher, but it remained only ₹36 above the 52-week bottom. All three moving averages were still above the price. The day's recovery was therefore clear in the session data, even though the longer-period numbers continued to show a very different picture.
