EPL - Breakout Post Good Q4NSE:EPL Made Beautiful Chart Structure today after posting good Q4 Results with Good Price and Volume action.
Price Action Analysis:
Resistance Breakout:
1. Primary Resistance Break: The stock has successfully broken above the well-defined resistance zone at ₹203-205 (lower red rectangle), which had contained price movements since mid-April.
2. Approaching Major Resistance: With today's 4.57% gain, EPL is now testing a critical longer-term resistance level at ₹210-213 (upper red rectangle), which has capped prices since late February after a sharp decline from the ₹250+ level.
3. Base Formation: After hitting lows around ₹183 in early April, the stock has formed a constructive base pattern with higher lows, suggesting accumulation and buying support at progressively higher levels.
Volume Analysis:
Today's volume characteristics strongly support the bullish case:
- Volume of 3.34M shares is significantly above the 20-day average of 895.96K (nearly 4x normal volume)
- The volume spike coincides perfectly with the upside breakout
- Prior consolidation showed decreasing volume, typically a precursor to a volume-supported breakout
- The recent accumulation phase (late April to early May) displayed positive volume patterns
Key Support and Resistance Levels:
Key Resistance Levels:
1. Immediate Resistance: ₹210-213 (upper red rectangle - critical level being tested now)
2. Intermediate Resistance: ₹225 (reaction high from mid-February)
3. Major Resistance: ₹250-255 (February high)
Key Support Levels:
1. New Support: ₹203-205 (previous resistance now converted to support)
2. Secondary Support: ₹195-198 (consolidation range from late April)
3. Strong Support: ₹183-185 (April lows and beginning of current base)
Technical Patterns:
1. Double Bottom: The March and April lows near ₹183-190 formed a double bottom pattern, typically a reversal signal.
2. Range Breakout: Today's move represents a clear breakout from the April-May trading range.
Volume Confirmation:
The volume trend provides strong confirmation:
- Clear volume divergence during the April bottom (decreasing volume on downmoves)
- Increasing volume during recovery phases
- Today's substantial volume spike on breakout (3.34M shares)
- Volume well above average throughout May, suggesting institutional participation
My Outlook:
The combination of a multi-week base breakout with exceptionally strong volume support signals a potentially significant shift in momentum. The key technical question now is whether EPL can overcome the major resistance at ₹210-213.
If the stock can close convincingly above ₹213 in the coming sessions, it would complete a substantial bottoming pattern with potential upside targets at ₹225 initially and ₹240-250 longer-term. Conversely, failure at this resistance could lead to a retest of the breakout level at ₹203-205, which should now provide support.
