Chumtrades XAUUSD Has Wave B finished?GOLD – DAILY PLAN
Has Wave B finished?
→ No confirmation yet.
Macro & Market Sentiment
US–Iran negotiations have been cancelled. Geopolitical risks remain, but not strong enough to trigger a new bullish wave.
Gold experienced a relatively calm trading session, failed to break above the key level around 5,100, and saw a moderate pullback during the US session.
The Daily candle formed a Spinning Top, indicating market indecision and consolidation, with a lack of momentum for a breakout.
👉 Macro factors are supporting prices, but not pushing the market into an immediate uptrend.
Technical Structure & Outlook
Price is still moving within a descending price channel.
On the H1 timeframe, price has broken above the 4,888 key level, showing a technical rebound.
However, the higher timeframe structure remains bearish, with no confirmed trend reversal.
→ Therefore, current rebounds are considered pullbacks within a downtrend.
Key Levels
Support: 4,810 | 4,830 | 4,700–4,750 | 4,650–4,624
Resistance: 4,950–5,000 | 5,100
Trading Scenarios
Primary strategy: Sell the rallies within the descending channel.
Look for SELL setups near resistance zones, targeting lower lows.
Momentum SELL may be considered if price clearly breaks below 4,882–4,890, with confirmation on H2 or H4, targeting around 4,810.
No BUY positions while price remains inside the descending channel.
👉 Only if price breaks and holds above 5,100, will we start reassessing a trend-following BUY scenario.
👉 Deeper pullbacks are viewed as potential zones for swing BUY opportunities, not short-term buys at this stage.
Note: The market is in a “confidence-testing” phase. Focus on zone-based trading, trend alignment, reduced position size, and avoid FOMO.
Fibonacci Retracement
Wave B Has Rebounded 15% Bottom Confirmed at 4,400?Wave B Has Rebounded 15% – Final Bottom or a Trap Before Wave C?
After a strong rally in yesterday’s Asian session, gold moved into consolidation during the European and US sessions, with a failed breakout late in the US session. In today’s Asian session, price broke above the 4,882–4,960 range, confirming it as a new buy-side base.
Gold has rebounded ~15% from the 4,404 area, driven by dip-buying demand and rising US–Iran geopolitical tensions, which remain a key catalyst alongside this week’s economic data.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, 4,400 marks the Wave A bottom. The market is now in a Wave B corrective rebound, with potential upside toward 5,140 – 5,200 – 5,220. Once Wave B completes, Wave C may follow, where signs of weakness and distribution will be watched to identify new swing-buy zones after the correction.
Support: 4,990–4,950 | 4,880–4,890 | 4,780–4,750 | 4,650–4,624
Resistance: 5,140 | 5,200 | 5,220
Note: Volatility remains elevated. Trade cautiously with strict risk and capital management.
Gold ATH after FOMC: Reaction or New Wave?Before the FOMC meeting, the market shared the same question:
would gold rally ahead of the meeting and then face a sharp sell-off afterward, or continue breaking higher and extend the trend?
After the FOMC, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged — which was not a surprise.
What really mattered was the Fed’s tone, and Powell clearly chose a balanced stance:
neither too dovish nor too hawkish.
More importantly, the Fed has effectively ruled out further rate hikes, while still maintaining a high interest-rate environment.
As a result, gold did not experience a heavy sell-off after the FOMC, and continues to hold its structure near the highs.
At this stage, market focus is shifting toward external risk factors:
The risk of a U.S. government shutdown
U.S.–Iran tensions
Ongoing trade war risks with major partners
Questions surrounding the independence of the Fed
👉 The current macro backdrop is not bearish for gold.
👉 SELL setups are reactionary, not the core narrative of the trend.
⏱️ H1 Observation Range

Gold at ATH before FOMC shakeout first or straight breakout?🧭 Macro Snapshot
Donald Trump maintains a hardline stance, increasing military presence in the Middle East → geopolitical risk remains elevated.
Tonight’s key focus: Federal Reserve
Political pressure and questions around Fed independence.
DXY continues to weaken, retesting major historical support (2020–2022) → supportive for gold.

⚠️ Strategy Notes
Expect possible fake moves / stop hunts within the range.
Avoid chasing highs or catching tops without confirmation.
Focus on price reaction at key levels and stay disciplined.
Summary: Gold is fundamentally supported, but today the key is how price reacts within 5,160–5,305.
Be patient — wait for confirmation — trade the reaction.
Next week: Will gold listen to the Fed… or the White House?🔎 Context
Next week could be highly volatile as monetary policy and geopolitics converge.
Donald Trump signaled a potential 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Canada moves closer to trade deals with China—raising trade-war risks.
At the same time, military assets are being deployed en masse around Iran, heightening concerns that tensions could escalate.
👉 Safe-haven flows may return, with gold potentially opening the week gap-up and early buying.

Chumtrades XAUUSD H2 | Is the Liquidity Sweep Over?Chumtrades – XAUUSD H2 | Has the Liquidity Sweep Finished, or Is There More Downside Ahead?
On Friday, the market reacted strongly after Trump’s comments regarding Kevin Hassett, when Trump expressed his preference for Hassett to remain in his current role rather than taking a new position.
👉 As a result, gold printed a long wick liquidity sweep back into the prior ATH zone, around 4530–453X, before closing back above 456X.
This brings us to the key question:
Was this sweep enough for the BUY side, or is the market still looking to test lower levels?
Political developments will be a key driver for gold direction in the coming week.
📰 Key Political Factors to Monitor
1. Trump – Greenland
The US has imposed 10% tariffs, with the possibility of increasing them to 25% on countries that do not support the annexation of Greenland
No fixed deadline, tariffs remain until Greenland becomes part of the US
→ This is a supportive factor for gold, especially amid rising geopolitical uncertainty
→ This news may directly impact the market open
→ If price reacts strongly, avoid SELLs near resistance
2. Iran – Protests
Monitor the risk of Trump returning to direct intervention
→ A potential headline-driven volatility trigger
🟢 Key Support Zones to Watch

Gold Before CPI: Top or Trap?Catching Gold’s Top Before CPI: A Good Trade or a Psychological Trap?
🧭 1. STRATEGIC CONTEXT
Primary trend: GOLD remains in an uptrend; the higher-timeframe structure is still intact.
Macro backdrop:
CPI tonight may cause short-term volatility.
However, geopolitics is currently a stronger driver than CPI.
Key geopolitical risks:
Greenland tensions → escalating global strategic rivalry.
Protests in Iran, power and internet cuts → rising Middle East risks.
👉 Strategic implication:
Gold continues to be supported as a safe-haven asset → pullbacks are for buying, not for chasing shorts.
📊 2. CURRENT MARKET STRUCTURE
Price is:
Holding the ascending trendline
Consolidating in a box, compressing ahead of CPI
Market condition:
High probability of false breakouts
Top-catching traps are very likely before the news
📍 3. KEY PRICE LEVELS
🔴 RESISTANCE
4,680 – 4,700
→ Previous high / ATH zone
→ Reactive sells only if clear rejection appears
4,655 – 4,660
→ Intermediate resistance, easily swept pre-CPI
🟣 CONSOLIDATION BOX
4,595 – 4,630
→ Sideways range ahead of CPI
→ No FOMO inside the box
🟢 SUPPORT
4,545 – 4,550 → Major confluence support
4,480 → Medium-term support, trendline retest
4,420 → Deep support, last bullish structure zone
📝 4. IMPORTANT NOTES
Higher CPI:
May trigger a technical pullback
❌ Does NOT automatically mean a top
Lower / in-line CPI:
Gold may consolidate above highs and break ATH
Selling before CPI:
→ Reactive scalps only, no holding
Buying:
→ Only when price reaches key zones with clear reaction
🎯 5. STRATEGIC MINDSET
❌ Don’t force top-catching while geopolitics supports gold
✅ Focus on risk management – wait for zones – wait for confirmation
🧠 Before CPI: survival > profit

Parallel Channel, Stubborn Gap & 0.5 Equilibrium RejectionDaily Timeframe Details
The left chart on the daily timeframe displays a parallel channel structure forming after an initial one-sided move.
A significant gap emerged within this leg, which price has approached multiple times—first entering the gap area from below but rejecting sharply to form a higher low, then pushing toward a higher high without fully filling it.
This illustrates how gaps often resist easy fills from either direction, acting as persistent reference zones that demand confluence for interaction.
Weekly Timeframe Context
The right chart provides the weekly timeframe for the same instrument, highlighting repeated rejections at the 0.5 equilibrium level.
These weekly rejections align precisely with the daily gap interactions and channel boundaries, demonstrating how higher-timeframe equilibrium can underpin lower-timeframe price behavior without implying direction.
Such multi-timeframe alignment offers educational insight into structural references in market analysis.

XAUUSD – Weekly outlookXAUUSD – Weekly outlook: structure points towards 4,580 as long as bulls hold the line
Brian – Favouring buy-the-dip setups while price holds above 3,996
1. Market overview – triangle break and trend confirmation
On the daily chart, gold has finally broken out of the long consolidation triangle, with Friday’s candle closing cleanly above the descending trendline that has capped price for weeks.
For me, this breakout is the first proper confirmation that the primary bullish trend is resuming.
The next major resistance on the chart sits around 4,246 – a key level I’m watching as a trend-confirmation line.
If price can break and hold above 4,246, the path towards the higher zone around 4,580 opens up, in line with the Fibonacci extension drawn on the chart.
In short: the structure into next week is bullish, with pullbacks seen as opportunities to position for a potential move towards new highs.
2. Technical structure – from breakout to extension targets
The breakout from the triangle comes after a sequence of higher lows bouncing off the rising trendline, indicating accumulation rather than distribution.
Below price, we have demand zones clustered around the 4,110 trendline area and deeper supports near 4,040 and 3,920.
Above price, the roadmap is fairly clear:
First, a test of 4,246 (local resistance & former supply).
Then the ATH / prior high region around 4,360–4,380.
Finally, the Fibonacci 1.618 extension projects into the 4,560–4,580 zone, which is my medium-term upside objective if bulls can maintain control.
As long as daily structure keeps printing higher highs and higher lows and price stays above the key invalidation at 3,996, I will continue to treat gold as buy-on-dip rather than looking for major tops.
3. Key zones & trading ideas for next week
I’m not treating this as a signal service, but here’s how I’m mapping the chart for my own trading:
Primary idea – Buy the dip into trendline / support
Watch zone: around the rising trendline near 4,110.
If price pulls back into this area early in the week and shows a clear rejection on H4/D1 (wick rejections, bullish engulfing etc.), I’ll be interested in building long positions.
Upside path:
First objective: 4,246 – trend-confirmation resistance.
If broken and retested from above, the next leg could extend towards 4,360–4,380.
Extension target: 4,560–4,580 in line with the 1.618 Fibonacci projection.
Secondary idea – Using Fibonacci zones on break above 4,246
If gold breaks and holds above 4,246, the Fibonacci zones between roughly 4,360 and 4,580 become interesting for scaling in / managing positions:
Partial profits or tight trailing stops can be considered as we approach 4,360–4,380.
Any healthy corrective pullback from that region that respects the rising structure could still offer add-on entries with the 4,580 zone as a medium-term target.
Invalidation:
A daily close below 3,996 would seriously damage this bullish structure and force me to reassess. Below that, I would step aside and wait for a new pattern rather than trying to force the long idea.
4. Fundamental backdrop – why gold still has a bid
From a macro point of view, gold is navigating a mix of:
Tariff and trade tensions, which keep hedging demand alive as investors look for protection against policy shocks.
Ongoing geopolitical risks and conflict, supporting gold’s role as a classic safe-haven asset.
A late-cycle interest-rate environment, where markets are increasingly focused on when and how aggressively central banks will adjust policy after a period of elevated rates and liquidity distortions.
This combination tends to limit the downside for gold: even when we see corrections, dip-buyers are never too far away, especially when the technical structure is aligned with the macro story.
5. Strategy & risk management
Into next week, my bias is clear: structure is bullish above 3,996, so I prefer buying pullbacks rather than trying to short into strength.
The trendline around 4,110 is my first area of interest for fresh longs; anything closer to 4,040–4,000 (if we see a deeper flush) would be considered an even better price, provided the daily structure doesn’t break.
As always, position sizing and stop placement are key – one good weekly move is far more valuable than several emotional entries trying to catch every candle.
What do you reckon – does this breakout have enough fuel to take us towards 4,580, or do you see a deeper correction setting up first? Feel free to share your view in the comments.
FVG Retracement With EMA, RSI & Fib Confluence📈 Bitcoin Chart – FVG Retracement With EMA, RSI & Fib Confluence in a Bearish Market Structure
This chart showcases a sustained bearish sequence on BTC, defined by a clean continuation of Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL). Throughout this decline, multiple Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) have formed both locally and at higher levels — each created by strong institutional sell-side displacement.
As price trends downward, these unmitigated FVGs above the market consistently act as magnet zones:price retraces into previous inefficiencies, rebalances them, and resumes the dominant bearish trend.
In the current setup, the integration of FVGs + Fibonacci Retracement(Point A to B) + EMA Levels + RSI Momentum provides a highly structured roadmap for anticipating retracements and continuation points.
The most significant imbalance sits near the major Fib retracement zone and under key EMAs — making it the highest-probability reaction area. Secondary FVGs below it may still induce a bounce, but carry lower structural relevance.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
📊 Key Observations
1️⃣ Prior FVG Mitigation
A previously formed FVG under the EMA was cleanly filled, followed by immediate downside continuation.
This confirms bearish order-flow control and validates the role of FVGs as efficient retracement targets in a downtrend.
2️⃣ High-Priority FVG (Primary Zone)
The upper FVG holds the strongest confluence:
Created by strong displacement
Sits below the EMA50
Aligns with the 38.2%–61.8% Fib retracement zone
This cluster makes it the most likely zone for a meaningful bearish rejection if price retraces into it.
3️⃣ Secondary FVG Reaction Zone
A lower FVG also exists beneath the main zone.
Although it can cause a minor corrective bounce, it formed during a smaller move and does not align with the key trend or Fib levels — giving it lower probability.
4️⃣ RSI Momentum Context
RSI remains below 50, confirming bearish momentum.
When RSI stays under mid-line, bearish FVG reactions tend to be more reliable and continuation setups form cleanly.
5️⃣ Structural Context
The broader structure remains decisively bearish as long as price trades below the EMAs and below the major upper FVG.
Retracements into these zones are more likely to serve as rebalancing moves rather than genuine reversal attempts.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
📊 Chart Explanation
Symbol → BTCUSDT
Timeframe → 1D
This visualization illustrates how Smart Money Concepts apply cleanly during strong trending conditions:
A clear LH–LL downtrend
Several historical FVGs acting as retracement magnets
A previously mitigated FVG confirming bearish control
A high-confluence FVG aligned with EMAs and Fib levels
A secondary imbalance that can still induce short-term reactions
RSI showing momentum remains bearish
Together, these elements outline a textbook sequence:
displacement → inefficiency → retracement → rebalancing → continuation.
Price remains under firm bearish control unless it breaks above the upper FVG with conviction.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
📘 Using Fib Retracement, EMA50, and RSI With FVGs (Bullish + Bearish)
🔹 1. Fibonacci Retracement + FVG
In a downtrend, draw Fib from swing high → low; in an uptrend, draw low → high
The 38.2%–61.8% zone is the prime retracement area in both directions.
If an FVG forms or sits inside this Fib zone, it becomes a high-probability reaction point (bearish rejection in downtrend, bullish bounce in uptrend).
🔹 2. EMA50 + FVG
In a bearish trend, price and FVGs forming below EMA50 act as stronger bearish retracement zones.
In a bullish trend, price and FVGs forming above EMA50 act as stronger bullish retracement zones.
EMA50 acts as a mean reversion point where price often returns to rebalance before continuation.
🔹 3. RSI + FVG
RSI below 50 → bearish momentum → bearish FVG reactions are more reliable.
RSI above 50 → bullish momentum → bullish FVG reactions are more reliable.
If RSI rises from oversold (or falls from overbought), it often signals a retracement phase toward nearby FVGs.
🔹 4. Combined Logic (Works for Bullish and Bearish)
Displacement creates an FVG (inefficiency).
Price retraces into the 38–61% Fib zone.
Retracement taps EMA50 or stays on the correct side of EMA50 (below for bearish, above for bullish).
RSI confirms momentum (below 50 for bearish continuation, above 50 for bullish continuation).
Price rejects from the FVG and continues the trend.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
✅ Summary
Market structure remains bearish with consistent LHs and LLs.
A previously filled FVG under the EMA validated the continuation move.
The upper FVG is the highest-strength level due to EMA + Fib + displacement confluence.
A lower FVG exists but carries reduced importance.
RSI below 50 reinforces bearish momentum and reliability of bearish FVG reactions.

Symmetrical Triangle Structure & Key EquilibriumEditorial Insights
- Symmetrical triangles signal a balanced tug-of-war between buyers and sellers; this compression, as mapped here, often precedes significant expansions in volume and volatility.
- The triangular structure’s edges—CT (red) and trendline (green)—have been tested repeatedly over months, reflecting both supply absorption and demand resilience.
- The hidden white line adds a subtle layer of convergence, useful for traders identifying areas of potential liquidity concentration.
- The yellow 50% Fibonacci level frames the equilibrium for this market phase, offering a snapshot of price discovery dynamics within the triangle.
- Price positioning relative to all these lines is best seen as a way to monitor evolving order flow and market intent, without any explicit forecasting or directional bias.
Key Levels & Reference
- CT (Red): Major supply test points.
- Trendline (Green): Demand and higher low sequence.
- Hidden Line (White): Structural convergence not visibly obvious but influential.
- Fibonacci 50% (Yellow): Core equilibrium reflecting price agreement zone.

Price Action Analysis:
Trend Structure and Momentum:
- The stock experienced a prolonged uptrend from March 2023 to July 2024, rallying from base levels around ₹433 to a peak of ₹1,275, representing approximately 195% appreciation
- Post the July 2024 peak, the stock entered a corrective phase characterised by lower highs and consolidation
- Recent price action shows a breakout above the descending cyan trendline that had been capping rallies since mid-2024
- Current price of ₹979.35 (as of October 31, 2025) represents a 26.80% gain, indicating strong buying momentum
- The stock is trading above all key Fibonacci retracement levels, having reclaimed the 61.8% level at approximately ₹953
Candlestick Patterns and Formations:
- The most recent candle shows a strong bullish close with a substantial body, indicating conviction in the upward move
- The chart displays a rising wedge/descending channel pattern that was broken decisively in recent sessions
- Prior consolidation between ₹700-₹850 formed a re-accumulation base, which has now been breached to the upside
- The breakout candle demonstrates strong price and volume expansion, a classic sign of institutional participation
Volume Spread Analysis:
Volume Characteristics:
- Recent volume surge to 90.39 million shares significantly exceeds the average volume of 13.46 million, representing approximately 6.7x normal trading activity
- The volume spike coincides with the price breakout, validating the move as genuine rather than a false breakout
- Historical volume analysis shows similar spikes during major trend reversals, particularly during the March 2023 base breakout
- Volume expansion without corresponding price weakness suggests strong demand absorption at current levels
Volume-Price Relationship:
- The volume profile indicates heavy accumulation in the ₹700-₹800 zone, which now serves as a critical support cluster
- Recent sessions show sustained above-average volume, suggesting institutional interest rather than retail speculation
- The volume pattern aligns with a classic "breakout with expansion" scenario, increasing the probability of trend continuation
Support and Resistance Levels:
Key Support Zones:
- Primary Support (S1): ₹854 - This represents the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level and previous consolidation high
- Secondary Support (S2): ₹754 - The 0.382 Fibonacci level and recent breakout point from the descending trendline
- Critical Support (S3): ₹631 - The 0.236 Fibonacci level and long-term base support at ₹433-₹450 zone
- The grey trendline originating from the 2024 lows provides dynamic support, currently positioned around ₹720
Key Resistance Zones:
- Immediate Resistance (R1): ₹1,094 - The 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level
- Major Resistance (R2): ₹1,275 - The all-time high achieved in July 2024 and psychological resistance
- Extended Resistance (R3): ₹1,400-₹1,500 - Projected based on measured move from the consolidation range
Technical Patterns and Indicators:
Chart Patterns:
- Descending Channel Breakout: The stock has successfully breached the cyan-colored descending trendline that acted as resistance since July 2024
- Rising Wedge Resolution: The consolidation pattern between August and October 2025 has resolved to the upside
- Base-on-Base Formation: The ₹433 level established in early 2024 served as the foundation for the subsequent rally, demonstrating strong long-term base support
- Cup and Handle (Potential): If the stock consolidates between ₹950-₹1,050 and then breaks out, it could form a cup and handle pattern projecting toward ₹1,400+
Fibonacci Analysis:
- The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at ₹953 has been convincingly reclaimed, suggesting the corrective phase may be complete
- Golden ratio support held perfectly during the September-October consolidation
- The next Fibonacci target at 0.786 (₹1,094) represents the immediate upside objective
- Fibonacci extension levels project Upmove at ₹1,350 (1.272 extension) and ₹1,500 (1.618 extension) if the rally extends
Risk Factors and Invalidation Levels:
- A close below ₹920 would signal a potential false breakout
- Sustained trading below ₹850 would invalidate the bullish setup and suggest resumption of the downtrend
- Weekly close below the broken trendline (currently around ₹940) would be a bearish reversal signal
- Failure to maintain above 61.8% Fibonacci retracement could trigger another corrective leg
Fundamental and Sectoral Backdrop:
Company Fundamentals:
- Chennai Petroleum Corporation (CPCL) reported Q2 FY26 revenue of ₹16,327 crore with profit after tax of ₹719 crore
- The company achieved a crude throughput of 3.013 million metric tonnes (MMT) with a Gross Refining Margin (GRM) of $9.04 per barrel in Q2 FY26
- However, Q1 FY26 saw challenges with a net loss of ₹40 crore compared to a profit of ₹357 crore in Q1 FY25, primarily due to inventory losses and lower GRM of $3.22 per barrel
- For H1 FY26, CPCL recorded net profit of ₹689.68 crore versus a net loss of ₹294.45 crore in H1 FY25, with average GRM at $6.17 per barrel
- The company achieved a record crude throughput of 11.642 MMT with 111% capacity utilisation
Business Operations and Product Portfolio:
- CPCL is engaged in refining crude oil to produce various petroleum products, including LPG, Motor Spirit, Kerosene, Aviation Turbine Fuel, High Speed Diesel, Naphtha, Fuel Oil, and Bitumen
- The company also produces speciality products like Paraffin Wax, Mineral Turpentine Oil, Hexane, and Petrochemical feedstocks
- Most fuel products are marketed by the parent company, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), while CPCL directly markets speciality products
- In 2024, CPCL commissioned new infrastructure, including Pharma Grade Hexane production and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Financial Metrics and Valuation:
- Market capitalisation stands at approximately ₹14,584 crore, with the company maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 35%
- CPCL has demonstrated strong return on equity with a 3-year ROE of 31% and has reduced debt levels
- Current price-to-earnings and other valuation metrics suggest the stock is reasonably valued considering sectoral challenges
Sector Outlook and Industry Trends:
- India's refining capacity increased to 258.1 MMTPA as of FY25, with domestic consumption at 239.2 MMTPA
- India is expected to drive global oil demand growth, with consumption projected at 5.74 million barrels per day in 2025 and 5.99 million bpd in 2026
- The country plans to expand refining capacity to 309.5 MMTPA by 2028
- Refinery output has been strong, with manufacturing IIP for refined petroleum products rising 4.24% in June 2025, driven by auto-fuel demand growth of 7.9% year-on-year
- However, refining margins are expected to fall below mid-cycle levels in FY25, indicating potential profitability challenges
Opportunities and Challenges:
Opportunities:
- Downstream activities driven by refinery-petrochemical integration are projected to post the highest 5.2% CAGR through 2030
- Growing domestic demand for petroleum products with urbanisation and economic growth
- Government initiatives supporting energy infrastructure development
- Indian refiners have benefited from processing discounted Russian crude, generating significant margins
Challenges:
- Net profit declined for the last two quarters, with an average decrease of 108.5% per quarter, and revenue fell 14.1% per quarter
- Volatile crude oil prices and fluctuating gross refining margins
- India's domestic crude oil production has fallen 26.3% and natural gas by 24.1% during FY12-FY25, leading to increased import dependency
- Environmental regulations and pressure to transition toward cleaner energy
- Institutional investment in CPCL decreased by 37.83% over the past 30 days
Competitive Position:
- CPCL is a subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation, providing strategic advantages in product marketing and distribution
- The company competes with major refiners, including Reliance Industries, Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, and Mangalore Refinery
- CPCL's core vision is to be the most admired Indian energy company, creating value through world-class performance and ethical governance
- The company's location in South India provides strategic advantages for serving the region's growing energy needs
Fundamental Risks:
- The stock trades at reasonable valuations with potential upside to fair value estimates around ₹1,050
- Strong Q2 performance suggests earnings momentum is improving after a weak Q1
- Sectoral tailwinds from growing domestic demand support medium-term prospects
- Key risks include GRM volatility, crude price fluctuations, and regulatory changes
My 2 Cents:
- CPCL presents a compelling technical setup following the breakout from a multi-month consolidation pattern
- The combination of volume expansion, Fibonacci support, and trendline breach suggests potential for further upside
- Risk management is critical given sectoral volatility; strict adherence to stop losses is recommended
