For the last six days, the stock has been consolidating in a tight range of 2,450-2,520. The stock has strong support at 2,455 which is also a 200-day EMA.

If the stock maintains a higher level than 2,520, it may advance upward and approach the 20 and 50-day EMA at 2,550 and 2,590, respectively.

On the daily chart, Titan is currently trading in a downward-slopping channel and has a breakout level of 2,520.

Kotak Bank has a strong support area near the 100-day EMA on the weekly chart. On the weekly chart, Kotak Bank is advancing along an upward channel while encountering support and resistance.
