Coal India’s stock closed at ₹383.30 on Wednesday and is hovering near immediate support at ₹377.08. Technical indicators offer a mixed picture.

Coal India is currently trading below short-term exponential moving averages, with EMA5 at ₹392.72 and EMA7 at ₹393.74.

Sonkusale said a bullish trade could be initiated in the ₹374–₹394 zone if confirmation signals such as bullish candlestick patterns or volume spikes emerge. 

He set a stop-loss below ₹360 and expects a potential upside toward ₹513, a historical resistance level.

He added that sustaining above ₹374 with bullish confirmation improves the probability of a breakout.

In the first quarter of FY2025, the company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹109.59 billion, beating analyst expectations. 

The result was supported by a 6.2% increase in sales volumes and a 5% drop in employee costs, which helped offset a 5.5% decline in coal prices.

The company also maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.076.

Key levels to watch include immediate support at ₹377.08 and major support at ₹369.77, while resistance is seen at ₹396.03 and ₹407.67, according to Sonkusale.
