tags:UPL,CEL,NOW,ITG,Chipotle (CMG)hiked its prices and opened new restaurants, and it paid off.

The burrito chain said in its latest public earnings report that its revenue climbed 7.4% last quarter compared to the same period last year. The news sent the company's stock price climbing nearly 10% during after hours trading Wednesday.

"The increase in revenue was driven by new restaurant openings," the company said in a press release.

The fast food restaurant also benefited from price hikes that it's rolled out at stores across the country over the past year, the press release states.

Steeper prices led to a 4.9% bump in total revenue at existing locations. That "partially offset" the fact it saw fewer total transactions, according to the press release.

Investors will no doubt welcome the revenue growth. Chipotle has had a rough couple of years due to a series of food safety scares. An E. coli outbreak prompted the company to shutter all of its stores for a few hours in February 2016 for food safety training.

The Nifty ended Monday 0.18 percent higher at 10,786.95. It opened on a flat note and moved towards the day's high of 10,850. However, it failed to hold above 10,800 levels leading to a long upper shadow Shooting Star candle on the daily chart.

Candle patterns on daily chart suggests it may again retest its downside pivotal support placed at 10,700 levels. However, we still prefer buying on dips as long as critical supports are intact. On the flip side, 10,850 may continue to act as critical resistance.

On the Nifty hourly chart, sell-off in the last hour of the session led to formation of a bearish candle. Double top formation in the relative strength index along with higher price highs point towards negative divergence on the hourly chart and may result in further correction towards 10,750 and 10,700 levels.
