GMDC | CMP: Rs 569.85

GMDC has completed a massive 412-day rounding bottom pattern and delivered a bullish breakout above Rs 480, followed by a sharp rally.

All key moving averages, along with monthly and quarterly VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) levels, are positively aligned, reinforcing the bullish outlook. The stock is well-positioned for a large move, supported by strong momentum and favourable technical alignment. Any dips in the coming weeks should be treated as accumulation opportunities, provided there is bullish price action evidence at support levels.

Neuland Laboratories | CMP: Rs 16,049

Neuland Laboratories has formed a 169-day-long Cup and Handle pattern and confirmed a bullish breakout supported by strong price–volume action.

Following a sharp move of 30.34% in just 22 sessions, Gujarat Pipavav Port has been consolidating for the past 66 days, forming a bullish flag pattern characterized by low-volume declines and high-volume advances—a classic sign of healthy accumulation. Friday’s price action, marked by a strong bullish candle with significant volume, acts as a precursor to a potential breakout. With all daily and weekly moving averages aligned positively and momentum indicators supporting further upside, GPPL looks well-positioned to resume its uptrend and extend the rally meaningfully.
