Ambuja Cements | CMP: Rs 547.8
Ambuja Cements has recently given a consolidation breakout on the daily chart. This breakout indicates growing buying interest and a shift in market sentiment toward optimism.

The momentum indicator RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also showing a bullish crossover. In the short term, the trend is likely to continue towards higher levels. On the upside, the stock may move towards Rs 580, while support is placed at Rs 534. A break below this level could lead to further weakness.
