The 5-day and 20-day moving averages reflect short-term momentum, while the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages provide insight into medium and long-term trends. Larsen & Toubro’s ability to sustain prices above these levels suggests broad-based support from market participants and a positive technical outlook.
Additionally, the narrow trading range on the day of the new high indicates a disciplined price action, often associated with accumulation phases where buying interest is steady and selling pressure is limited.
