The stock of HeidelbergCement India has been in a short-term uptrend since taking support at ₹174 in mid-December 2019. Triggered by positive divergence in the daily relative strength index, the stock changed direction and ended an intermediate-term downtrend that began from the 52-week high of ₹217.6 in May 2019.

On Wednesday, the stock gained 3.7 per cent accompanied by extraordinary volume, breaking above a key resistance level of ₹185 and the 200-DMA. The stock trades well above its 21- and 50-DMAs also. There has been an increase in daily volume over the past two trading sessions.
