Cholamandalam Inv. & Fin. Co. – Long-Term Uptrend Meets Resistance

Cholamandalam has marched steadily higher within a well-defined upward channel (blue), rising from sub-₹400 in 2021 to recent highs around ₹1,652. As price now tests the channel’s upper boundary and the horizontal ceiling at ₹1,652–1,675, a pause or consolidation is likely before the next leg up. Technical Highlights Long-Term Rising Channel: Price consistently oscillates between the lower trendline (support) and the upper boundary (resistance). The channel’s slope remains intact, signaling structural bullishness. Horizontal Resistance: The ₹1,652–1,675 area has capped rallies twice in 2024 and again in early 2025. This zone couples channel resistance with prior swing highs, forming a strong supply barrier. Volume: Recent advances have occurred on average volume. Look for a volume drying up near ₹1,650 as a sign that buyers are pausing. Key Levels Level Significance ₹1,652–1,675 Major resistance (channel top & pivots) ₹1,450–1,425 Channel mid-line & former resistance ₹1,250–1,230 Lower channel support & 2025 swing lows ₹1,100 Trendline support (long-term floor) Trading Plan Partial Profit Booking: Consider locking in gains as price approaches ₹1,650–1,675. Wait for Consolidation: Look for a multi-week range between ₹1,550 and ₹1,650. A drop toward ₹1,450–1,425 offers a lower-risk re-entry. Bullish Confirmation: A clean weekly close above ₹1,675 with RSI cooling down would signal strength for a run toward channel extensions near ₹1,800. Risk Management: Stop-loss for fresh longs beneath ₹1,550; for swing trades, beneath ₹1,425. 📢 Disclaimer: This is for informational purposes only.
