The cement sector is in focus ever since the consolidation began with Adani Group buying Ambuja Cements and ACC.
Ambuja Cements is trading at an all-time high while other cement stocks are catching up with the bullish trend.
To analyse the trend of the cement sector, we created a marketcap weighted cement index with the stocks having a marketcap of minimum Rs 50 bn (Rs 5,000 crore).
Since its correction in sync with the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, the cement sector has seen a reversal from the demand zone (marked in red).
The resistance turned into a support at 5,000 and the trend turned northwards.
The index is heading higher to break out of the bullish head and shoulder pattern, confirming the cement sector's medium-term bottom. The current market price of the index is 6,730 while the breakout is at 7,100.
I recently recorded a video explaining how to profit from the sector rotation as a trader.
Do watch if you think it's important to hop from one sector to another at the right time.
UltraTech Cement and Shree Cement are the top gainers today while Birla Corp and Heidelberg Cement are trading 1% lower.
