Gallantt Ispat share price jumped over 15% on Monday, 12 October, amid a weak stock market. The surge comes amid a high-volume pullback in the stock, which has been under pressure over the past few months.
Investors are also tracking the company’s planned capacity expansion, ₹3,000 crore capital expenditure programme and broader growth ambitions for FY27.
However, technical analysts remain cautious about the stock’s broader trend, identifying key support and resistance levels that could determine its next move.
Gallantt Ispat share price: Key levels to watch
The stock opened at ₹508.50 apiece, which was also its intraday low, before climbing to an intraday high of ₹581.30. Since the beginning of 2026, the shares have gained more than 5%, while they have declined over 13% in the past year. The stock remains 14.6% away from its 52-week low of ₹496.25.
The stock’s price band limit was revised from 10% to 20% effective 8 October.
Ruchit Jain, Head of Equity Technical Research, Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, said the stock’s broader trend had remained negative over the past few months. However, Monday’s pullback was accompanied by high volumes.
Jain identified the 200-day exponential moving average (DEMA), around ₹600, as immediate resistance, while ₹500 remains a key support level.
Gallantt Ispat technical outlook: Support at ₹500, resistance at ₹650
Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said Gallantt Ispat had been consolidating in the ₹500– ₹644 range since 20 July. During this period, the stock had found support twice near its 100-week exponential moving average (EMA).
Despite Monday’s sharp rebound, Shah said the broader trend remained sideways to bearish. The MACD line continues to trade below the zero line on the weekly chart, indicating a bearish momentum bias.
According to Shah, the ₹510– ₹500 zone is a crucial support area. A decisive break below this range could trigger another leg of decline. On the upside, the ₹640– ₹650 zone is likely to act as strong resistance.
