What is the long-term technical outlook for Cadila Healthcare?

Subsequently, the stock bottomed-out, and has been in an intermediate-term uptrend.
In early April this year, it emphatically breached a key long-term resistance at ₹300 and continued to trend upwards. Both the medium- as well as the short-term trends are up for the stock.
After testing the key resistance level at ₹370 for more than a month, the stock made a strong breakthrough on Friday by gaining 4.5 per cent, accompanied with above-average volume.
This rally has strengthened the bullish momentum, and the stock is likely to extend the uptrend. It trades well above the 21- and 50-day moving averages.
There has been an increase in daily volume over the past three trading sessions. Further, the daily relative strength index (RSI) has re-entered the bullish zone from the neutral region, while the weekly RSI continues to feature in the bullish zone. Moreover, the daily as well as the weekly price rate of change indicators hover in the positive terrain, implying buying interest.
The stock has almost retraced the 50 per cent Fibonacci retracement level of the precious downtrend. A strong rally beyond ₹400 will push the stock higher to the long-term trend-deciding level of ₹430. An emphatic break above this level can pave the way for an upmove to ₹450 and then to ₹500 over the long run.
Failure to move beyond ₹400 can pull the stock lower to the near-term support level of ₹370 and then to ₹350. A plunge below ₹350 will alter the short-term uptrend. In that case, the stock can decline to ₹320 and then to ₹300 levels.
To alter the medium-term uptrend, the stock needs to decline below ₹300. The next key supports are placed at ₹280 and ₹250. Investors with a long-term perspective can buy on decline and stay invested with a stop-loss at ₹240.

The immediate supports are at ₹100 and ₹90
