Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities Wipro | CMP: Rs 189.17 Wipro is witnessing a mean-reversion rally, having reclaimed its short- and medium-term daily moving averages (DMAs) on the daily chart, along with its 20-week moving average (WMA) on the weekly chart. Positive RSI divergence, followed by a bullish crossover and breakout, indicates improving momentum. Relative strength is also evident, suggesting that the stock is outperforming the broader market.
Going forward, the prevailing momentum is expected to continue, with the stock potentially testing its 200-DMA on the daily chart and its 50-WMA on the weekly chart. RBL Bank Futures | CMP: Rs 360.10 RBL Bank has witnessed a breakdown from its consolidation pattern, accompanied by a long bearish candlestick, indicating heightened selling pressure. The breakdown has also pushed the stock below its crucial 20-DMA and 100-DMA, weakening its technical structure.
Furthermore, the RSI has formed a bearish crossover, signalling subdued momentum and the possibility of continued weakness. Going forward, the stock may extend its decline towards the 200-DMA on the daily chart and the 50-WMA on the weekly chart. Sell RBL Bank November futures below Rs 358. Sudeep Shah, Head - Techinal & Derivatives Research at SBI Securities Cochin Shipyard | CMP: Rs 1,167.1 Cochin Shipyard has witnessed a decisive breakdown below its crucial support zone of Rs 1,185–1,205 on the daily chart, signalling a deterioration in its technical structure.
This zone had previously acted as a strong demand area on two occasions since February 2025, attracting significant buying interest. However, the failure to sustain above this support base points to weakening demand and the potential continuation of the downtrend. The stock is trading significantly below its key moving averages, reinforcing the prevailing bearish bias. The rising Average Directional Index (ADX) indicates strengthening trend intensity, while the RSI falling below 30 highlights strong selling pressure.
Any recovery may face resistance, keeping the near-term outlook firmly bearish. Accordingly, selling is recommended in the Rs 1,155–1,170 zone, with a stop-loss at Rs 1,190. On the downside, the stock is likely to test Rs 1,085 in the short term. Varun Beverages | CMP: Rs 408.4 Varun Beverages has witnessed a breakdown below its rising channel on the daily chart, signalling a deterioration in its price structure.
The stock is trading nearly 5 percent below its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) and around 11 percent below its 200-day EMA, reflecting sustained weakness across both short- and long-term trends. The ADX indicator shows the negative directional indicator (DI-) crossing above the positive directional indicator (DI+), suggesting that sellers are gaining control over buyers. Meanwhile, the RSI has broken down from its sideways movement and is trending lower, indicating weakening momentum.
The MACD has slipped below both its signal line and the zero line, reinforcing the prevailing bearish bias. Accordingly, selling is recommended in the Rs 405–410 zone, with a stop-loss at Rs 420. On the downside, the stock is likely to test Rs 380 in the short term.
