UltraTech Cement share price today opened ₹11,730.05 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹12,000, and an intraday low of ₹11,676.10 apiece.

Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said UltraTech Cement appears to be breaking out of its consolidation range on the daily chart, signalling the potential continuation of its ongoing uptrend.

According to Shah, the stock is trading comfortably above its key moving averages, reflecting a strong underlying trend. He noted that momentum is gradually strengthening, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) moving above the 60 mark, indicating increasing buying interest. The widening gap between the DI+ and DI− lines also suggests that bulls are steadily gaining control over bears, while the MACD continues to slope higher, reinforcing the positive momentum.

Shah added that the ₹11,650-11,600 zone is expected to act as a strong support area, and the stock is likely to extend its upward move as long as it remains above this level.
