Chart Check: After 18% rally in 3 months, ascending triangle breakout makes Linde India an attractive buy

Linde India, part of the chemical industry, has rallied by about 18% in the last 3 months to hit a fresh record high in July and the chart patterns suggest that the rally in the stock price could take the stock above Rs 5,000, a new record high.

The stock rose from Rs 3,897 as on April 24 2023 to Rs 4,593 recorded on 24th July 2023 which translates into an upside of about 18% in 3 months. The stock rose more than 6% in a week.

The recent surge in the stock price pushed the stock to a fresh record high of Rs 4,859 recorded in intraday trade on 25th July 2023.


The stock also gave a breakout from an ascending triangle pattern on the weekly charts. The neckline of the ascending triangle pattern was placed above Rs 4,200 levels which happened in June 2023 and since then the stock has been trading above this level.

"Linde India has experienced a smooth correction after April 2022, avoiding the formation of lower highs and lower lows. This suggests a positive undertone in the trend," Omkar Patil, Technical Research Associate at GEPL Capital, said.

"In mid-June 2023, the stock exhibited a breakout of the Ascending Triangle pattern, indicating a potential continuation of the upward movement," he said.

"On the daily time frame, Linde India stock price is currently trading above significant moving averages, such as the 50-Day, 100-Day, and 200-Day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). This reinforces the positive trend and supports the bullish outlook," highlights Patil.

"Analyzing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the Weekly timeframe reveals a range shift, indicating rising momentum in the stock. “Looking ahead, we expect the prices to continue rising towards the Rs 5,300 level with a strict stop loss at Rs 4,345, based on the closing basis," recommends Patil.
