We have been watching cement stocks for a while and were waiting for them to give a proper breakout. And here it comes. Almost all cement stocks are establishing bottoms in the medium term charts and a few have given price-volume breakouts in the shorter time frame.
Of the four cement stocks that we have mentioned here today, JK Cement looks very similar to The India Cement Limited chart (differs in volume), and ACC Limited gives a similar feel as Ambuja Cements Limited.
JK Cement Limited (JKCEMENT.NS) Close: 827.05
JK Cement Limited has broken out of the falling trend channel in the medium term and has given buy signals from double bottom and rectangle formations. The stock has initiated a buy in the long term chart as well, from a double bottom formation.
The price has broken out of resistance levels on few occasions and now there is support around 815 and 750 levels. Resistance as seen in the medium term chart is around 1000 rupees. Hence reward to risk is favourable at 2.3.
Volume tops and volume bottoms correspond well with tops and bottoms in the price. Volume balance is also positive, which strengthens the stock.
