Timken India – Paresh Gordhandas Power Call
CMP Rs. 3472.90

Technical Structure
The stock is trading very close to its 52-week high of Rs. 3575, indicating strong institutional accumulation and sustained upward momentum. From a 52-week low of Rs. 2202 to current levels, the stock has delivered a solid 35% one-year return, with recent acceleration visible in the last one month (+18.06%) and one week (+10.07%).

All three trend structures — short-term (5 days), medium-term (21 days), and long-term (63 days) — are firmly bullish. The stock is trading decisively above all key moving averages:

20DMA: 3207.29
34DMA: 3122.84
50DMA: 3091.07
89DMA: 3084.00
200DMA: 3110.85

This strong moving average alignment confirms a powerful higher-high, higher-low structure with broad trend support.

Price has also expanded well above the Upper Bollinger Band (3417.61), indicating a breakout move with strong participation — though it also signals short-term stretched conditions.

Momentum & Indicator Analysis

Momentum indicators are extremely strong but clearly in overbought territory.

RSI at 72.79 reflects strong bullish dominance but signals short-term overheating.
Stochastics (%K 93.72 / %D 93.82) and StochRSI (100) confirm aggressive buying momentum at extreme levels.
Williams %R at -5.42 and CCI at 187.09 further highlight stretched price behaviour.

MACD remains strongly positive (72.84 vs Signal 45.85) with a wide histogram (26.99), indicating accelerating upward momentum rather than immediate exhaustion.

ADX at 18.34 shows the trend is active but not yet in a very strong trending phase. However, DMI+ (35.16) remains significantly above DMI- (14.03), confirming clear directional dominance of buyers.

Momentum reading at 531.30 reflects sharp price acceleration during the recent breakout phase.

Overall, structure remains bullish, but near-term cooling or sideways consolidation cannot be ruled out due to oscillator extremes.

Volatility & Price Behaviour

ATR at 106.32 suggests volatility expansion — meaning pullbacks, if any, could be wider in absolute terms but still healthy within the trend.

Parabolic SAR at 3040.49 remains far below current price, reinforcing continuation of the prevailing uptrend.

Price is trading above the Pivot Point (3433.63), keeping the immediate structure positive. Sustained trade above R1 (3539.27) can open upside toward:

R2: 3605.63
R3: 3777.63

On the downside, immediate support lies near:

S1: 3367.27
S2: 3261.63

A dip toward 3360–3260 zone would likely act as a healthy pullback within the broader bullish structure.

Key Levels

Immediate Resistance: 3539 – 3605 zone
Major Resistance: 3777+

Immediate Support: 3367
Strong Positional Support: 3261 – 3200 cluster

Trend Expectation

The overall technical structure remains strongly bullish as long as price sustains above Rs. 3367. Short-term indicators suggest possible consolidation or mild pullback near the 3500–3600 resistance band before the next directional expansion.

A decisive breakout above Rs. 3605 could trigger momentum expansion toward 3775+ levels. Any dip toward 3260–3360 zone is likely to attract positional buying interest within the ongoing uptrend.

Paresh Gordhandas Technical View

The stock is in a strong breakout phase with complete alignment across all major moving averages and positive MACD acceleration. While oscillators indicate short-term overheating near 52-week highs, the broader technical structure remains firmly constructive.

As long as the stock holds above the 3260–3367 support cluster, the bias remains bullish with potential continuation toward higher resistance zones in the coming sessions.
