According to Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree, CreditAccess Grameen has triggered a strong bullish setup, opening with a decisive gap-up above its 50-day EMA, signaling a shift in intermediate trend bias. The move is backed by a 122% surge in volumes over its 50-day average, indicating strong institutional participation and accumulation at higher levels.
“Price structure suggests a transition from consolidation to expansion, with momentum favoring the bulls. As long as the stock sustains above the 50-day EMA zone, the setup remains constructive for an upside move towards the key resistance at ₹1,370. A failure to hold above this average would weaken the breakout and act as a near-term invalidation level,” added Jain.
