"Grasim has been in an uptrend on a quarterly chart since the beginning of 2020. Following a rally, it entered a consolidation phase between Rs 1900 and Rs 1300 from the end of 2022.  Recently breaking above the consolidation zone, GRASIM is poised to continue its medium-term uptrend. On the monthly chart, the stock is establishing a higher high-low formation, maintaining a positive bias and holding above the medium-term uptrend. Anticipating a sustained uptrend, the stock is expected to move towards 2320 and potentially advance further to reach the Rs 2450 level," said the brokerage.
