In this episode of Policy Talks, Yatish Rajawat of Centre for Innovation in Public Policy talks to B G Mahesh, CEO and Founder of Sahamati the organization that is bringing about a quiet revolution in how credit is given through Account Aggregators (AA). Especially to small and medium organizations or the newly banked as they do not have assets or credit history.
The RBI licenses AA to consolidate all banking-related data for the purpose of seeking a loan. AA was started in 2021 and is making it easier for banks and NBFCs to determine the creditworthiness of their clients. The consolidation of all financial data makes it easier for the bank to determine all the outstanding and income making it easier to determine the capacity to repay a loan.
Last month the GST data was also been consolidated with AA. This additional data makes it possible to understand the possible cash flow of each customer, especially business customers, and can now be used to give loans based on cash flow. A cash flow-based judgment of credit is a better guide for lenders.
AA is also a digital public infrastructure and like other DPIs, it is now at a tipping point in terms of its impact on not only just Indian credit system but also globally.
As there is no other system as advanced and as data-rich as the one being created by AA in India. AA has the potential to unleash credit to the last mile and to learn more about how it will do this listen to this conversation with B G Mahesh.

Allowing spouse to take complete charge of their investment decisions figures among the key money mistakes that women make.
Financial planners say that despite being diligent savers, women tend to let the male members of their families take calls on how the family’s savings should be invested.

The Life Insurance Corporation of India’s (LIC) mega IPO is set to hit the markets in March. It has generated a lot of interest amongst policyholders for whom the state-owned life insurance giant will be carving out a special quota. And, to make the deal sweeter for policyholders, LIC is also likely to offer a discount on issue price. The details and quantum of discount will be disclosed closer to the IPO.

An action-packed week (ended February 11) was seen in our domestic market with massive whipsaw movements amid the mixed global cues. The market started on a weaker note that further aggravated as a broad-based sell-off happened in the initial half of the week
The Nifty has taken a strong support near 17,000 mark in the post Budget correction and bounced back. From the last couple of sessions, it has maintained Higher Top Higher Bottom formation. On the weekly charts, it has been facing strong resistance near 20 Week SMA (17,616) since last 2 weeks.
In this episode of The Moneycontrol Real Estate show, Moneycontrol's Vandana Ramnani talks to Amit Goyal, CEO, India Sotheby's International Realty, to understand about the real estate investment opportunities in farmhouses which have become a popular asset class after three waves of COVID-19. With work-from-anywhere becoming the norm, it does not really matter where you reside even if it is a farmhouse. Listen for more
Goyal tells Vandana Ramnani that you require at least Rs 20 crore to Rs 100 crore to buy a farmhouse spread across an area of 1 acre to 2.5 acres with a built-up area of 5000 sq ft and above. He also tells listeners that besides conventional farmhouses, there are developers who also sell built-to-suit farmhouses.
His advice to homebuyers is that a greater degree of due diligence is required when it comes to purchasing a farmhouse than a house in the city. He also tells listeners that banks do not fund farmhouses and maintenance costs are huge.
As per government data, 45-47 per cent of all jobs come from culture and creative industry, says Professor Rajendra Pratap Gupta who has come out with a paper on the need for a culture policy in India.
Nifty took support at upsloping trendline support after a vertical fall from 20-DMA (daily moving average) and witnessed a bullish Hammer candlestick formation that may witness a pullback rally where 17,500 is an immediate hurdle while 17,600-17,800 is a critical resistance zone. On the downside, 17,000-16,800 is a critical support zone.
Nifty plunged by 303 points on the back of selling mainly in technology, pharma and banking stocks to close at 17,214 levels, lowest since December 27. In the last three sessions, the Nifty has fallen more than 600 points from a high of 17,781 levels. Short-term trend turned bearish as the Nifty has closed below its 20, 50 and 100-day EMA (exponential moving average).
Mutual fund (MF) schemes allowing investors to diversify their investments to global markets have been forced to suspend flows, following directions from market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and industry body Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
While some schemes are only stopping fresh flows at present, some schemes have stopped both fresh flows, as well as flows from already existing systematic investment plans (SIP). For example, Mirae MF has stopped flows from existing SIPs, as well as fresh flows, to its international schemes.
Parag Parikh Flexicap Fund is dealing with the issue differently. As a diversified equity fund that invests about 65 percent to domestic stock markets and about 28 percent in international stocks (balance held in cash), it is funneling all the flows coming through existing SIPs into domestic stocks. At the same time, fresh flows have been suspended.
“We cannot remit further funds abroad starting February 2, till the time the limits are increased,” said Rajeev Thakkar, chief investment officer and director of PPFAs MF, in a recent note.
Among other fund houses, Motilal Oswal MF has also stopped accepting fresh flows into their international schemes.
DSP Global Innovation Fund of Fund, which was recently launched by DSP MF, has tweaked its investment strategy. Instead of investing in units of mutual fund schemes abroad, it will be investing in overseas-listed exchange traded funds (ETFs). As the limits are on overseas stock investments and not on ETFs.
This is not the first time these limits have got exhausted. The growing interest among mutual funds investors to invest in international markets has in the earlier instances led to AMC-level limits getting breached. However, this time even the overall industry limit of $7 billion has got breached.
While the situation is expected to be resolved soon with SEBI expected to consult with RBI and increase the limits, in today’s episode Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks with Vishal Dhawan, founder and chief financial planner at Plan Ahead Wealth Advisors, to understand the ramifications if this situation continues and what regulators should do to avoid such situations from cropping up in the future.
Anshul Jain talks to Vandana Ramnani about what’s in the Budget for the middle class homebuyers and the real estate developers. He also explains what the Rs 48,000 crores allocated for the completion of construction of 80 lakh houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in rural and urban areas in the year 2022-23 mean for affordable housing.
He tells listeners that the Budget lays emphasis on urban reforms, modernization of building by-laws, town planning schemes, transferable development rights, transit oriented multi modal corridors.
He also explains what the proposed structural reforms such as the one-nation-one-registration in the country means and how it is expected to facilitate land transactions and sale deed registration from anywhere in the country.
The Budget has also proposed an overhaul of the SEZ legislation which is expected to have a significant bearing on the commercial real estate sector, he signs off.
The Nifty has maintained its lower top lower bottom formation on the daily charts, however, it has managed to sustain above the 17,000 mark consistently for the last three sessions and formed a reversal candle pattern like Piercing Line and Hammer candle pattern on the daily charts, indicating some kind of bottoming out for the short to medium term.
The RSI (relative strength index) indicator on lower timeframes has placed below 40 mark, however, it is showing price momentum divergence.
The Nifty has resistance at 17,450 and 17,776 levels, whereas the support lies at 16,836 mark.
The index shows initial signs of bottoming out near the 17,000 mark and could give a pullback towards 17,450-17,776 levels. On the flip side, if the index breaks below 16,836, then it can move lower towards 16,600–16,410 levels.
The Nifty50 is trying to find its feet near a strong support zone of 16,850-16,600 after a brutal fall. The market was looking much oversold as Put-Call ratio (PCR) has slipped below the 0.7 mark and FIIs' long exposure in the index future dipped below 45 percent therefore a bounceback is due.
Technically, 16,800 is long-term trendline support and a previous demand zone while 200-DMA (daily moving average) is placed around 16,600 level, therefore we can expect a pullback rally from here.
On the upside, the 17,500-17,600 area will be the first resistance zone while above 17,800, we will get confidence that the market has reversed and is ready to go higher.
Gaurav Karnik tells Vandana Ramnani that there is a need to hike the Rs 2 lakh tax rebate on housing loan interest rates under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act to at least Rs 5 lakh. If that happens, then you may see more people wanting to buy houses because it will then become more viable to do so. With more money in their hands, buyers would be in a better position to service the loan, he explains.
There may also be something for people who want to or have already put their house on rent as the focus of the Budget is expected to be on Housing for All.
He also talks about the need to relook at the definition of affordable housing to extend the benefit of additional deductions to more buyers. Rs 45 lakh may be a good definition for affordable housing in smaller towns but not so in metros such as Delhi and Mumbai. This limit should be increased to up to Rs 1 crore, he signs off.
Term insurance premiums have been on the rise since March 2020, with several life insurance companies having hiked their rates across age bands. This space has seen several rounds of hikes, the latest one being in December 2021, when ICICI Prudential Life Insurance and HDFC Life Insurance increased their term insurance rates. Some other companies have indicated that they will raise their premiums in the months to come.
One of the reasons is higher mortality – or deaths – across and the world and in India due to COVID-19 that prompted global reinsurance companies to increase their rates and, in turn, forced Indian life insurance companies to pass on a part of the hikes to their customers. But this apart, a correction in term rates was due as premiums in India have been on the lower side compared to global markets over the last ten years. Despite the rate hikes, term insurance premiums in India continue to be cheaper compared to global markets.
In addition, life insurance companies have also tightened their underwriting norms in the aftermath of COVID-19, with income levels, educational qualifications and of course, policyholders’ COVID-19 history, becoming key parameters in the insurance application evaluation process. Medical check-ups prior to policy issuance are now the norm, particularly for high-value covers. “Better analytical models have entered the picture and our claim experience has now become richer. Medical underwriting in integral part of the evaluation process. There is significant difference in claim experience between medically-underwritten polices and others. In our case, 97 percent of pure protection policies go through medical underwriting,” says Kamlesh Rao, MD and CEO, Aditya Birla Sunlife Insurance.

The market kicked off the last trading week on a positive note on Monday, which was then followed by yet another head start to test the 18,350 mark. However, traders turned nervous all of a sudden there, resulted in a decent profit booking below 18,100 on the same day. After this the global markets became jittery which triggered sustained selling thereafter. As the week progressed, Nifty went on to thrash all intermediate supports to eventually test sub-17,500 levels on the last session of the week. Fortunately, few banking heavyweights provided much needed helping hand there to pull the Nifty beyond 17,600 at the close.
Due to this week's sell off, Nifty finally snapped its four-week winning streak and is placed at a very interesting juncture now. Honestly speaking, although we were seeing 18,350 as a mild hurdle, we did not expect Nifty to come off at such velocity. In fact after breaching 18,100, we did anticipate further decline towards 17,800. But whatever happened in last couple of sessions to even test 17,500, has surprised unpleasantly to some extent. Now with reference to our intra-week commentary, we have been mentioning how 17,650 is important in a short term and the real damage of the recent upward trend would start below it. Today, we did slip below it but the way market recovered in last one hour, we need to revise our levels a bit. We generally do not do this, but it should be taken as an exception.
Taking a glance at the daily time frame chart, we can see Nifty retracing almost by 50 percent of the recent rally and saw some respite after nearing the '89-day EMA' (exponential moving average). Hence, for the coming week, 17,500 – 17,400 should be considered as crucial supports. Although the global picture is not good, we still would like to back our inclination towards some relief move. If any recovery has to happen there would not be better levels than this.
On the upside, first sign of strength would start above 17,800 and then we can reclaim the 18,000 terrain ahead of the budget itself. First couple of sessions would be important for market as it will set the tone ahead of the mega event. One should focus on Financial and Auto space because in case of a recovery, they are the ones to be the frontrunners.

The Nifty fell for the 3rd straight session facing strong selling pressure at higher levels and ended the session lower by about 1 percent on Thursday.
On January 20, the Nifty bounced off the 17,640 support cluster of 100-day SMA (17,633) and the December 13 breakout level (17,640) and also managed to defend the 20-day SMA (17,745) on closing basis.
On the open interest front, maximum open interest (for January monthly expiry) on Calls has been shifted lower to 18,000 strike as it would act as a major hurdle going ahead.
On the downside, the index has major support in the 17,550-17,650 zone.
The index has been witnessing massive selloff since January 18, dragging the index below the 18,000 mark. The Nifty is placed very close to the support zone and is also oversold on the shorter time frame. Thus, in the sessions to come, we might see the index consolidate between the 18,000 and 17,550.
Two back-to-back red candles on the daily chart of the benchmark index indicate a heavy profit booking scenario after a rally of almost 2,000 points in the index.
Nifty50 has formed a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern on January 18 and has also given a pattern confirmation by closing below the low of the bearish candle on its next immediate trading session which is January 19, 2022.
In the last couple of trading sessions, both FIIs and DIIs are the net sellers in the market indicating a bear grip in further trading sessions. The index has also formed a bearish alternate shark harmonic pattern on the daily chart and prices have closed below its PRZ (potential reversal zone) levels.
The Nifty50 on the weekly chart has given a bullish pole flag pattern breakout and the throwback of the pattern was awaited. The current fall can be considered as a throwback of the broader pattern which is likely to find support near the upper band of the flag pattern which is placed near 17,500 levels.
A momentum oscillator RSI (relative strength index) & indicator Stochastic has reversed from overbought territory, which suggests bearish to sideways sentiments for the coming days. The indicators on the intraday chart are currently oversold and a sharp bounce back for a limited period cannot be ruled out.
Presently the support for the benchmark index is 17,800 and 17,600 which is supported with 21 & 50-day exponential moving averages and the resistance for the index is capped at 18,300 levels.

Amit Goenka tells Vandana Ramnani that the year 2022 is a good time to buy a house, especially a large-sized 2BHK apartment as it is appreciates faster. He is also of the view that plotted developments and buying land makes sense as several infrastructure projects are being announced. For passive investors, REITS and real estate stocks bode well. After three waves of COVID-19, both construction timelines and construction finance are under strain, especially for small developers. But capital is available for the right developer, the right project and the right location, he says.
His advice to homebuyers is to do their due diligence with regard to approvals and availability of construction finance with the developer to complete the project they are planning to invest in. He also tells listeners that there is a healthy flow of foreign funds for housing projects and that there has been a shift in the allocation of funds for the commercial and housing segments with majority capital of up to even 80% being earmarked for housing projects.
He is also of the view that serious investors can consider investing in stressed asset funds as several global players have picked up a basket of such ‘viable’ assets. Going forward, the market requires a capital pool such as a bad asset fund for stuck real estate projects that looks into the social impact on homebuyers with less focus on profits and returns, he signs off.
Indian equity market witnessed a sharp profit booking in Tuesday's trading session after a one-way vertical rally. The weakness can be attributed to selling in the global markets after US 10-year bond yield moved above the 1.80 mark during the day. FIIs are net sellers for the last 4 trading sessions while the sharp selling in last hour of trade indicates that we may have another day of selling by FIIs.
Technically, 18,300-18,350 is a minor resistance zone where Nifty witnessed a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern that may lead to further weakness. Tuesday's low of 18,085 is at 9-DMA (daily moving average); below this, 17,950-17,800 will be the next important support level while 17,650 is critical support at any correction, however, every correction is a good buying opportunity.
For the Bank Nifty, 38,800-39,100 is an important resistance zone and 38,850 is a 61.8 percent retracement of the previous fall where it witnessed sharp profit booking in late trade. On the downside, 38,000 is an immediate and psychological support level while 37,500-37,000 will be the next major support levels. On the upside, if it manages to take out the 39,100 level then we can expect a rally towards the 40,000 level.
Nifty has been rising for last 7 consecutive sessions and settled the week at 18,308 - surpassing the previous swing high of 18,210. The index is currently placed above all important moving averages, which indicates bullish trend on all time frames.
Previous swing high of 17,944 was taken out recently, which is a sign of continuation of an uptrend with higher tops and higher bottoms on short term charts. Indicators and Oscillators have been showing strength in the current uptrend on the daily charts.
Nifty has surpassed the resistance of 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the downswing seen from 18,604 to 16,410. Only resistance which is visible on the chart is 100 percent, which is placed at the 18,604.
The Previous swing highs of 18,210 and 17,944 are expected to interchange its role as a supports going forward for the Nifty.
To conclude, we believe that Nifty is in continuation of an uptrend and same should extend. Currently Indian Markets are outperforming and we could see Indian benchmarks to register new all-time highs. Breadth of the market is very strong, which confirms the bullishness. We advise to Hold Nifty longs with 17,940 stop-loss and keep it trailing.
The market was off to a cheerful start on January 10 despite mixed global cues. Barring a small dip around mid day, the Nifty traded in the green throughout the session to gradual march towards the 18,000-mark. Some tail-end buying helped the Nifty push past the psychological mark to end the session over a percent higher.
The move got extended in the next couple of days as the benchmark index breezed through the key resistance zone of 18,100–18,200. Lack of participation from heavyweight spaces like banking and IT in the later half, however, saw the index consolidate in a small range to conclude end the week a tad above 18,250.
In the week gone by, the Nifty gained 2 percent to rally more than 1,800 points in a span of four weeks, which is remarkable. The market is now exhibiting behaviour that generally happens after a decent rally and if any major event is close by.
Since we are inching closer to the budget, key indices seem to be in a consolidation mode.
For the coming week, 18,350 is the level to watch. Once it is surpassed, there is no major level visible before 18,600. As of now, we do not expect a runaway move in the forthcoming week, hence, traders are advised to focus on individual stocks because almost each sector has started chipping in.
Apart from this, the broader market has started buzzing, which generally indicates a healthy rally. One needs to on potential movers to make decent gains. As far as supports go, 18,200 followed by 18,100 should be considered key levels and the sacrosanct base remains at 18,000.
The Nifty managed to close above 18,000 psychological mark for the 3rd session and formed a Doji candle on daily charts. However it is important to note that in the recent up move, the index has been forming small bodied candles indicating loss of momentum.
The RSI (relative strength index) indicator on lower timeframes is showing price momentum divergence.
The Nifty has resistance in the 18,270-18,330 zone whereas the support lies at 17,900 mark.
The index looks over-stretched and could possibly be rangebound and witness a pullback towards 17,900-17,950 levels. On the flip side if index manages to cross 18,330 then it can move higher towards the life time high of 18,600.
It is almost end of the financial year 2021-2022, with just three months left before investors can take investment decisions to finalise their tax-saving plans for the financial year.
Equity linked saving schemes (ELSS) are among the instruments that are eligible for tax deduction under section 80c. This is an important section as one can claim upto Rs 1.5 lakh deduction under this section.
While there are several other options under 80c such as Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Saving Certification (NSC), bank tax-saving deposits and life insurance, ELSS has also grown into a popular instrument.
The mutual fund industry also wants Ministry of Finance to allow a debt-linked saving scheme (DLSS), so that mutual funds can come up with similar products on the debt side as well. But for now, it is only the ELSS funds where mutual funds offer tax-saving feature to investors.
As an equity mutual fund scheme, ELSS can not only help individuals to bring down their tax liability, but also create wealth over the longer term. Of course, it would finally depend upon the scheme’s performance and the overall performance of equity markets during your holding period.
ELSS funds come with three-year lock-in period. After the lock-in period is over, investors can fully or partially withdraw their investments or even stay invested if they wish to.
Remember, any capital gains from your ELSS investments will still be liable for long-term capital gains of 10 percent, if the gains are more than Rs 1 lakh. You get tax relief in ELSS as you can claim deduction for the investments that you make in such funds during the financial year.
As it is an equity-linked product, ELSS can go through periods of sharp volatility and investment returns can see sharp fluctuations.
So, how should you go about selecting an ELSS fund that suits your risk-profile, as well as return expectations, and what should you do if the scheme returns turn out to be below-par even par after a three-year lock-in?
In today’s episode of Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks with Rushabh Desai, founder of Rupee with Rushabh Investment Services, on what you should keep in mind when investing in an ELSS fund.
On the daily chart, Nifty50 has given a falling wedge pattern breakout on January 3, 2022 and has given a return of 3.50 percent to date without a meaningful correction. Meanwhile on the broader time frame (weekly) prices have given a bullish flag pattern breakout and prices are inching near their previous lifetime high levels which are placed at 18,600 levels.
The structure of the index is in favour of bulls. Market breadth has remained at 2:1 with 35 stocks on the advancing side and 15 stocks on the declining side. The prices on the daily chart are trading in a higher top higher bottom formation.
A couple of weeks back prices were under a bit of pressure and were trading below their 21 & 50-day exponential moving average but a strong breakout in the current week has forced the prices to close above the said averages on the daily time frame.
Nifty50 is most likely to cap near its previous resistance zone which is placed at 18,600 and if the index manages to cross above the said level then 19,000 will be on the cards soon. The immediate support for the index is placed near 17,900 levels.
Bank Nifty after forming a Hammer candlestick pattern on the weekly chart, prices have shown a strong reversal on the higher side and have taken support at its 21-week exponential moving average on the weekly chart. Important supports are now at 37,600-37,200 and resistance is placed near 39,200-39,500.
The third wave of COVID-19 has raised several questions in homebuyers’ and investors’ minds, especially when it comes to buying property. Ramesh Nair, CEO, India and Managing Director, Market Development, Asia, Colliers tells Vandana Ramnani that the year 2022 is a good time to buy a house as prices are at realistic levels, interest rates are at a decadal low and developers are offering attractive payment plans. For investors who wish to invest in commercial property, he advises that they should look for income producing investments such as fractional ownership assets or REITs. Don’t go in for direct ownership of a commercial asset if you don’t have Rs 3-4 crore in your pocket, he advises.
Homebuyers and investors should be good negotiators and must have a deal planned in their mind from start to finish. And last but not the least, always be wary of the risks involved before investing, he signs off.
After rising for three consecutive weeks, Nifty has managed to continue with bullish momentum in the start of the current week also. Nifty has managed to surpass the psychological resistance placed at 18,000. From the bottom of 16,410, registered on December 20, 2021, Nifty has shown recovery of almost 10 percent in the span of 16 sessions while Bank Nifty has recovered 13 percent from the low of 34,018 in the same period. Bank Nifty has formed bullish rounding bottom formation on the daily charts, which indicates more upside room for the Index in the coming days.
Last Week, Nifty surpassed the crucial resistance of the previous swing high placed at 17,640. Nifty has also surpassed the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level placed at 17,766, which has negated all the bearish developments on the medium term chart.
Nifty is now placed above 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 DMA (day moving average), which indicates the bullish trend on all time frames. On the weekly charts, Nifty has broken out from “Flag” pattern, which indicates the bullish continuation trend. Previous resistance of 17,640 is now expected to act as a short term support for the Nifty going forward.
Indicators and oscillators like MACD (moving average convergence divergence), RSI (relative strength index) and DMI (directional movement index) have reached bullish territory and showing strength in the current daily and weekly uptrend.
To conclude, we believe that Nifty is in uptrend and dips should be utilized to create longs positions. Support for the Nifty is seen at 17,640. Upside targets for the Nifty are seen at 18,210 and 18,610.
After a correction of around 12 percent from the top of 18,604 levels, the Nifty has bottomed out near 16,400 - 16,370 zone which coincides with 50 percent Fibonacci retracement of previous advance from 14,151 – 18,604 levels and moved up with the formation of Higher Top Higher Bottom pattern. Also it has sustained above its 5-week high which indicates the Nifty has resumed its uptrend.
On the daily charts, the Nifty has sustained above all important moving averages like 20, 50, 100 & 200 days which gives confirmation of the bullish sentiments for the medium to long term.
However, the momentum indicator like RSI (relative strength index) is sustaining above 60 mark on all the time frames which indicate market has strong positive momentum for the medium to long term.
We believe, the Nifty will face strong resistance at 18,210 and 18,604 mark. On the flip side, the support levels would be placed at 17,380 and 16,830 levels.
The bulls roared on Dalal Street as the Nifty closed above 17,900. Except IT, pharma, and power, all other sectoral indices ended in the green with auto, bank, metal, realty and oil & gas indices up 1-2 percent. The BSE Midcap index added 0.36 percent, while the Smallcap index ended on a flat note. The Nifty50 closed at 17,925 and the BSE Sensex at 60,233.
The Nifty has given a breakout of descending broadening wedge formation and the next resistance will be around 18,000-18,050 levels. On the downside, supports have been now placed at 17,750-17,800. The index is traveling above its short and medium-term moving averages which is a positive sign and the participation from largecap counters is what gives confidence to investors.
Though the global markets had mixed cues ahead of the release of the US Federal Reserve meeting minutes, on the domestic front traders are more hopeful with the RBI's decision to keep the reverse repo rate unchanged in the next policy amid an increase of corona cases.
The major contribution has come from Bank Nifty which has given nearly 4,000 or 12 percent from the recent bottom in the last couple of weeks. The move seems to continue if it breaks and sustains above 38,000 levels.
December 31, 2021 - the extended due date for individuals to file income tax returns for the assessment year 2021-22– has just passed by. Despite several requests from individuals and chartered accountants’ associations for another extension, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman ruled out any further extension.
During the last few days, many complained that they were not able to access the income tax return e-filing portal or faced glitches in the final hours of the December 31 deadline. Those who failed to file income tax returns on time will now have to file a belated return under section 139 (4) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 before March 31, 2022. While you can exercise this option, it comes with a cost. For one, you will have to shell out a penalty of Rs 5,000 for delayed return filing. This amount is restricted to Rs 1,000 if your income is less than Rs 5 lakh. Also, you wil not be entitled to interest on tax refund due, if any. Moreover, you will not be able to carry forward or set off any losses incurred in financial year 2020-21.
Also, those who completed the exercise before December 31 should not forget to verify the income tax returns filed. You have a window of 120 days from the date of having filed the returns to do so, without which, your returns will not be considered valid. You can either do it through the traditional, physical route or the electronic modes.

The Nifty50 is witnessing a fresh expansion phase after breaking out downsloping channel formation where 18,000-18,200 is an immediate target zone. If Nifty manages to take out 18,200 level then the bulls will eye for a fresh all-time high.
On the downside, the cluster of 50 and 100-DMA (daily moving average), around 17,500 level will act as an immediate and strong support level at any pullback while 17,300-17,150 is the next demand zone.
Momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) has moved above the 60 mark that may generate thrust for further upside. Nifty is giving proper follow-up of bullish reversal morning star candlestick formation on the weekly chart.
Bank Nifty is also witnessing a strong move after crossing the cluster of 20-DMA and 200-DMA in the 35,700-35,800 area. The upside momentum may continue, however, 37,200-37,600 is a critical resistance zone where we can expect a pullback because 37,200 is a cluster of 50&100-DMA and 37,580 is a previous swing high. On the downside, 36,500 is an immediate support level while 36,000-35,700 is a critical demand zone.
Nifty50 surged 272 points or 1.6 percent on the first day of the New Year to close at 17,626 levels on January 3. Intermediate trend turned bullish as Nifty has broken out from the downward sloping trendline, adjoining the highs of October 19 and November 15, 2021. During the last week, Nifty has surpassed the crucial resistances of 50 and 100-day EMA (exponential moving average) which gives further evidence of an uptrend. Short term indicators and oscillators like DMI (directional movement index), RSI (relative strength index) and MFI (money flow index) have been showing strength in the uptrend of Nifty.
In the Index Futures segment, FIIs have been creating fresh longs, where their net long to short ratio is above two. In other words, out of their total positions in the Index Futures, 70 percent is in long side while 30 percent is in short side.
In the Option segment, we have seen aggressive Put writing at 17200-17300 levels. This level also coincides with the 20-day EMA which is currently placed at 17237 odd levels. Therefore, we believe that short term trend will remain bullish till Nifty is trading above 17,200 levels.
Next upside targets for Nifty is seen around 17,805 levels, followed by 18,000 levels. Longs should be protected with trailing stop-loss of 17,200 in Nifty.
Barring the initial hiccup on December 27, it was overall a week of consolidation as we were approached the monthly expiry as well as the end of the calendar year.
The 17,200 – 17,300 zone was seen as crucial to dictating the immediate direction. The expiry session on December 30 started on a soft note and tested intraday support of 17,150 in the opening trade itself. This small down tick was merely a formality as we saw the Nifty recover immediately to erase losses.
During the remaining part of the session, the index remained in a slender range with no clear direction. Eventually, the lacklustre session ended on a flat note, with the index staying a tad above the 17,200-mark.
On December 31, we witnessed a good broad-based buying to conclude the year on a happy note well above 17,300.
Despite some correction in the recent past, the Nifty managed to clock a gain of more than 24 percent year-on-year. With a close above 17,300, the index is likely to kick off the new year on a positive note.
As a conservative trader, one can wait for a sustainable close above 17,400, which is the higher end of the ‘Downward Sloping Channel' on the daily chart. But the way individual stocks are behaving, it is likely to happen in the coming session only. After this, the immediate levels to watch out would be around 17,550–17,700.
On the flip side, the base is shifting higher towards 17,000–16,800 before which 17,150 is to be considered as key support.
Traders are advised to trade with a positive bias as long as the index remains above the mentioned base.
The midcap index is well-poised, hence individual stocks are probably gearing up for a pre-budget rally. Let's see how things pan out and the coming week will confirm the short-term path of our markets.
The benchmark indices on December 29 saw a sideways opening and remained sideways the entire day. Global peers were a mixed bag. It seems that everyone is waiting for some news to react on. The current situation seems like a stall mate scenario.
The range of 17,000-17,300 is very tight and bulls and bears are defending their respective territory very strongly. The major averages are flatting out. It shows that upper side move will be limited though downside also kept near to 17,000.
Till the said range is in progress, there won't be any big move. The breakout and its follow-up will decide a further course of action in the market.
Bank Nifty, the major component of the index is underperforming broadly. It is the major hurdle in further progress for Nifty.
For people across the world, 2021 has been a year to forget as COVID-19 continued to wreak havoc in many countries. India was amongst the worst-hit as the deadly second wave ravaged the country between March and May 2021.
However, for stock and mutual fund investors, it was an exciting year with the stock market indices scaling new peaks, except towards the end of the year. The market benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and CNX NSE Nifty have yielded returns of 20 percent in year to date. The broader market indices - mid- and small-cap - have yielded returns of 35 percent and 60 percent respectively. The run-up in stock markets over the last one and a half years has got reflected in the performance of the equity schemes. While euphoria reigned supreme at the bourses in 2021, experts caution against expecting the kind of returns that investors saw in 2021.
It was also an eventful year for the retirement funds space, with both Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and National Pension System (NPS) witnessing several changes. Budget 2021 introduced a tax on interest earned on EPF contributions of over Rs 2.5 lakh, taking many employees – particularly those who contribute large amount to their voluntary provident fund (VPF) – by surprise. NPS saw its investment management fee go up, though it remains one of the cheapest retirement planning tool available today. The liberalised investment guidelines are expected to provide more options to invest for pension fund managers, though risks, too, could be higher.
Taxation was in the news constantly with the income tax department extending timelines for filing returns and also launching a new tax return-filing portal. This new e-filing portal was beset with glitches since the launch, prompting tax consultants to demand another extension to compensate for the time lost due to teething troubles.
What should investors keep in mind as we enter into the New Year, with worries over Omicron cases leading to some volatility in stock markets? Should employees who voluntarily contribute more than the statutory requirement to their VPF look at National Pension System (NPS) instead? Will the December 31 deadline for filing tax returns be extended once again?

The Nifty50 is continuing the Santa rally, however, 17,250 is an immediate and important hurdle that Nifty has to take out for further move towards 100-DMA (daily moving average) which is currently placed at 17,400 level while 17,500/17,600 will be the next resistance levels.
On the downside, 20-DMA of 17,150 will act as an immediate support level while 17,000 will be the next important support level. The bias is looking positive where it will be interesting to see whether bulls manage to take Nifty above 17,250 or not.
If we look at the derivative data then Put writers are looking confident and have a strong belief that Nifty won't fall below 17000 before the expiry while the upside is open up to 17500 level. Put writers have become active in 17200-17100 territory therefore 17200-17100 area will act as an immediate support zone.

The Nifty recovered 279 points from the day's low to close at at 17,096.30, the highest level since December 16. However, volumes have gone down as foreign institutional investors remain sluggish. The National Stock Exchange cash turnover was at its lowest since April 3, 2020.
From the recent swing low of 16,410, the Nifty has managed to recover more than 4.5 percent. It is still in continuation of a downtrend, forming lower tops and lower bottoms on the daily charts. The previous swing on the daily chart was seen from 17,640 (top of December 13) to 16,410 (bottom of December 20).
If we were to consider this downswing and apply 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement, then that level comes in at 17,170.
If the Nifty manages to surpass 17,170 on a closing basis, it will be the first indication of bullish trend reversal. There has also been good amount of Call writing at 17,200 strike price, which indicates strong resistance.
So, unless Nifty sustains above 17,200, trend will remain down. Currently 56 percent of NSE500 stocks are trading above their 200-daily moving average (DMA), which can be considered near the lower band of the last one year data. Downward sloping trend line adjoining the previous swing highs projects the strong resistance at 17,500.
The Bank Nifty formed bullish "Piercing Line" candlestick pattern on December 27, which indicates the probability of a short-term reversal.
A level above 35,478 would trigger the buy signal of this candlestick pattern and would also result in higher top preceded by higher bottom on the daily chart.
Strong support for the Bank Nifty is seen at 34,000. Resistances for Bank Nifty are seen at 35,800 and 36,220.
Indicators and oscillators like Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) have developed positive divergence on the short-term chart of the Nifty as well as the Bank Nifty.
We believe that markets are on the path to recovery, however, the short-term bullish trend reversal would be confirmed only above 17,170. The medium-term downtrend would be negated once we see the Nifty closing above 17,500.

The benchmark indices on December 22 saw a gap-up opening following its global peers and closed slightly above 1 percent thereby filling the gap created between 16,840 and 16,970.
The bounce got extended for the second consecutive trading session and the structure of the index appears to be in a consolidation range from 16,850 - 17,200. The lower high and lower low formation will be neglected only above 17,600 till then this can be considered as a relief rally.
Prices are trading below 21-week EMA (exponential moving average) which is placed at 17,134 acting as immediate resistance and above 50-Weekly EMA which is at 16,000.
On the daily Charts, momentum oscillator RSI (14) is still showing a reading below 50 and similarly ADX (Average Directional Index) which shows the strength of the trend has moved to 26 and rising with negative DMI (Directional Movement Index) moving up.
Nifty has reached a good hurdle zone of 16,950. If it manages to sustain above it, then some short-covering can't be ruled out and 17,140 will be the next level for the index. The immediate support is coming near 16,850.

After a heavy sell off witnessed in past two sessions, Indian markets recovered sharply from its lows and snapped two-day losing streak, as once again Nifty indices reclaimed a move above 16,750 levels. However markets remain choppy as tug of war between bulls and bears kept markets on volatile path.
From derivative front, Put writers added marginal open interest at 17500 strike while Call writers are seen shifting at higher bands.
From technical front, markets are expected to remain volatile and likely to trade in broader range of 16,500-17,000. At current juncture, Nifty is still holding above its 200-day exponential moving average which is placed around 16,300 levels on daily charts.
One can expect further downside possibility in prices only if Nifty manages to breach its long term moving average.
COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of the Indian insurance space, perhaps forever. As the magnitude of the once-in-a-century crisis became clear, awareness around health and life insurance and, therefore, demand for these products grew in 2020. Then came the devastating second wave in March 2021, which underlined the importance of protection covers – life as well as health insurance policies – like never before. Insurance experts say this trend is here to stay.

Nifty plunged 371 points or 2.18 percent on Monday amid Omicron fears to close at four-month low at 16,614 levels. This is the lowest closing for Nifty since August 23, 2021. Short term trend of the Nifty remains weak as Nifty is forming lower top lower bottom formation on the daily chart. Nifty is also trading below its all-important short-term moving averages.
During the last week, Nifty resumed its intermediate downtrend after two weeks of gains. On the weekly chart, Nifty has closed below the 20-week EMA (exponential moving average). The 14-week RSI (relative strength index) is still in decline mode and not oversold, implying potential for more downsides in the coming weeks.
In the derivatives, we have seen aggressive Call writing at 17000 levels. Moreover falling 5-day EMA is also currently placed at 17000 levels. Therefore, unless Nifty closes above 17000 level, short term trend will remain bearish.
On the downside, Nifty is likely to find support around 16,000-16,300 levels where 50-week and 200-day EMAs are placed. These levels also coincide with a major trend line support that has held the major lows of 2021.
To sum it up, we believe that, short term trend of the Nifty remains weak. Therefore, our advice is to remain cautious till Nifty closes above the 17,000 levels.
Globally, most of the markets have been doing well since last few days and Monday morning too, we had favourable cues from the peers. We kick-started the week on a positive note as indicated by the SGX Nifty tad above 17,600. During the first half, we witnessed some consolidation with some hint of profit booking. However, the selling aggravated as we stepped into the second half and as a result of this, market came off sharply to eventually close below the 17,400 mark by shedding nearly eight tenths of a percent from the previous close. This was followed by some consolidation in a small range for couple of days. However, things worsened towards the latter half of the week to resume the recent downward trend. Eventually Nifty ended the week below 17,000 with a sharp cut.
On Monday, the reversal came precisely after nearing the sturdy wall of 17,600 - 17,700. So if we look at it in the hindsight; we must accept the fact that market is respecting the levels precisely. Now the way market tumbled on Friday, recent swing low around 16,800 is in jeopardy now.
We will not be surprised to see it happening to test 16,500 - 16,200 zone. Let's see, next couple of sessions would be quite crucial and if any recovery has to happen, this is the best possible zone from where it should happen.
All eyes on banking space because the way it's placed, it is likely to dictate the short term trend.
Barring IT which was the sole outperformer, all other sectors succumbed to the selling pressure. The broader markets, too, took it on the chin. And hence, traders are advised to stay light on positions and even if market attempts to recover, one should avoid aggressive longs till the time 17,700 is not surpassed. Before this, 17,100 - 17,200 are to be considered as immediate hurdles.
Nifty50 on the medium-term time frame seems to be very rangebound and is in moving between 17,600-16,700 mark. On the daily chart we can see that the index has been facing strong rejection near the 17,600 level. On December 13, the prices tested a high of 17,639 post which some selloff came in, that pulled the index lower toward the 17,180 mark.
We can also see that the 20-day SMA (simple moving average) breached below the 100-day SMA for the first time since June 2020. Pointing towards the presence of some bearishness in the trend.
On the indicator front, the RSI plotted on the daily time frame can be seen taking resistance at the 50 mark and moving lower, indicating towards the presence of bearish momentum in the prices.
Looking at the price action, we believe that the 17,200 mark is going to act as a make-or-break level. If the prices manage to breach below the 17,200 mark we might see an acceleration in bearish momentum and we might see the prices move lower towards 17,050-17,000 and eventually towards the 16,700 mark.
From last two trading sessions, the Nifty is trading within a very narrow range and has closed below its bearish Engulfing Candlestick pattern which was formed on December 13.
The prices have formed a 21 & 50-day exponential moving averages cluster at 17,600 levels which is acting as a strong resistance for the benchmark index. Bulls tried its level best to close above its resistance cluster formed at 17,600 levels but was unable to sustain above the same.
From last four weeks, prices are witnessing a marginal closing above its 21-week exponential moving average which is placed at 17,173 and acting as an anchor point for the index on the weekly time frame.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) is showing a sign of weakness on daily as well as the weekly chart where else MACD indicator is also reading below its center line indicates bearish to sideways momentum in the market.
According to options data, resistance area is near 17,500-17,600 and supports are placed at 17,000-17,200. In Wednesday's trading session, new addition of call options contract was visible at 17300 CE strike and new addition of Put option contracts was seen at 17100 PE strike.
Major unwinding of Call options contract was seen at 18000 CE strike followed by 18200 and 18100 CE strikes respectively, whereas on unwinding of Put options contract was seen at 17300 PE and 17400 PE strikes indicating shifting of base on lower side of the option chain.
Currently, the Nifty is expected to trade in range between 17,600 – 16,900 for next few trading session until and unless prices are not giving any superior move on the either side of the range.
Organisations worldwide are developing and embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies to build sustainable businesses. Both global and Indian business operations have been undergoing significant changes amidst externalities such as climate change, finite resource availability, deteriorating ecosystems and evolving stakeholder expectations.
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated business disruptions have only heightened and reinforced the need for action, making ESG a critical agenda for companies as they are focusing on long-term sustainable growth.
To shed further light on the ESG agenda for companies, PwC, in partnership with Moneycontrol, has launched ‘ESG: A bridge to action’, a brand new platform where industry leaders, in conversation with PwC Partners, discuss the multiple aspects of ESG, explore their companies’ journey and experience with ESG, and offer advice on the road ahead for the Indian corporate sector.
Markets have corrected six percent from their recent highs. Both the benchmark indices CNX NSE Nifty and S&P BSE Sensex have lost some of their momentum amid concerns over Omicron cases.
To be sure, the market volatility is not what was seen when the Covid-19 outbreak took place in March last year.
Diversification and rupee cost averaging through SIPs are the two risk-management concepts investors are familiar with. SIPs allow investors to buy more mutual fund units when equity prices fall and lesser units when equity prices rise. So, the average cost of buying is kept low.
Re-balancing of portfolio is another tool that investors can use to their advantage, especially when markets swing between extreme highs and lows.
Simply put, you keep bringing your allocation between equity and debt, back to your original allocation when markets go through excesses, on higher or lower side.
So, if the market correction has reduced the share of equity investments in your portfolio, you add to it. Similarly, if market euphoria has increased the share of equity investment beyond your original allocations, you reduce it and increase debt exposure. This approach also ensures that investors are booking profits at regular intervals, and not just passively sticking to a hold-and-sit tight approach.
While major events and its market impact can be the reasons to re-balance your portfolio, you can also choose to review your portfolio at regular intervals, quarterly, semi-annually or annually to decide whether re-balancing is needed.
You can do the re-balancing with other asset classes like gold and international equities as well. If the share of either of the asset classes drop or rise above your original allocations, you can take steps to revert to original allocations.
In today’s Simply Save Podcast, Amol Joshi, founder of Plan Rupee Investment Services talks with Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani on how investors can re-balance their portfolios to get most from their investments.
Once again selling pressure in Indian markets was witnessed as traders look cautious ahead of key decisions by Federal Reserve and other central banks. The sentiments were also got dampened as markets weighed Omicron risks.
On derivative front, Call writers added hefty open interest at 17500 & 17600 strike while marginal Put writing was observed at 17300 & 17200 strike.
The technical indicators suggest that volatility is likely to grip market in upcoming sessions as well. However, Nifty has completed one leg of correction, after a steep run-up seen last week and now the index is currently trading near important retracement support levels which are placed at 17,200 & 17,100 levels.
The key hurdle would be 17,500 & 17,600 levels for upcoming sessions. One can expect a sideways moment in upcoming sessions and final direction will be clear once we see either side breakout from mentioned range.
Nifty failed to surpass the crucial resistance of 50-day EMA (exponential moving average), placed at 17,516 and ended the session at 17,385, with the loss of 0.72 percent on December 13. Nifty closed with bearish candlestick of 'Engulfing' on the daily chart. However, this fall is not enough to justify the short term bearish reversal.
The higher highs and higher lows are still intact on the short term charts. The indicators and oscillators like RSI (relative strength index), MACD (moving average convergence divergence) and DMI (directional movement index) have not shown any sign of changing the trend from bullish to bearish. However falling ADX (average directional index) has been showing sign of slowing down the momentum in the markets.
For the short-term, Nifty has got stiff resistance in the range of 17,600-17,650. Any close above this range could push Nifty towards 17,900 target. On the downside, support is seen in the range of 17,150-17,200.
Market looks very stock and sector specific. Trading opportunities can be observed in both the direction, as far as derivative stocks are placed. IT, Metal, and Capital goods are some of the sectors which look strong, while NBFC and FMCG sectors are looking weak.
Intermediate trend of the Nifty is still not certain and on the basis of the chart patterns, we cannot say that we are out of woods. Nifty has not even retraced 50 percent of the entire downswing which we saw from 18,604 (Top made on October 19, 2021) to 16,782 (Bottom made on November 29, 2021). Bearish trend gets negated, once underlying surpasses 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement, which is placed at 17,900 odd levels.
To sum it up, we believe that Nifty has not negated the bearish developments on the intermediate charts. However, short term trend moves have been showing attempt by the Nifty to get in to the bullish zone. Confirmation of the bullish trend reversal would only come when Nifty closes above 17,900. Short term supports for the Nifty is seen at 17,150.
Traders should remain nimble-footed and vigilant while deciding on stock to buy for the trading. Risk measure should be taken properly before taking big position in the swing trading.
Despite strong global cues, Indian markets started the week on a negative note and slipped further to close at the lowest level in the last three months around the 16,900 mark. The action was not done yet as further improvement in the global cues couldn't keep our markets lower and a sharp rally in the next two days resulted in benchmark retesting the territory of 17,500. Post such wild moves, Nifty traded in a range for the last two days and eventually ended around it with gains of 1.80 percent against the previous week's close.
If we recall last week's outlook, we had clearly mentioned that the benchmark may see further consolidation between 16,800 and 17,500 before heading for the next leg of the action. This is precisely what has happened during the week as Nifty almost tested the lower end and closed at the mentioned higher range.
Now if we analyse the last two days trading activity; buying was definitely seen on the intraday dips. However, we did see some tentativeness at higher levels as the benchmark has already rallied more than 3 percent from the intra-week low and has reached a cluster of resistance zone seen in the vicinity of 17,500 - 17,600 - 17,700.
During the week, we did participate in the relief move but directionally, we are still a bit sceptical whether the market has enough strength to surpass the higher boundary of this range. Hence, one needs to now start lightening up longs if Nifty extends the relief move in the coming sessions. On the flip side, we sense the base has shifted higher and the bullish gap left on Wednesday at 17,250 - 17,300 is to be seen as key support.
During the week, we witnessed many astonishing moves in midcap and smallcap stocks and traders can continue with the stock-centric approach, however, they need to be very selective going ahead as we are approaching the resistance zone.

The stock markets closed on a positive note on Wednesday (December 1, 2021) with the S&P BSE Sensex ending one percent higher at 57,684.79 points. But stock markets have been showing weakness in last few days with concerns building up around US Fed tapering down its stimulus measures and the emergence of Omicron, the new Coronavirus variant.
This has led to volatility in stock markets. The S&P BSE Sensex is still down six percent from its highs. The last year’s market crash after Covid-19 outbreak is still fresh in investors’ minds and also the sharp rally that followed. But, is the market rally starting to fade out? Should investors be taking profits or stay put?
There are varying opinions on which way the markets might go. Foreign brokerages have been withdrawing their bullish stance on Indian stock markets. Recently, Credit Suisse in its note said that supportive monetary policy has helped in better-than-expected economic and corporate earnings recovery for India, but Indian markets seem to have already factored in a large part of this recovery.
Analysts are worried about Indian market’s valuations now being the most expensive vis-à-vis other emerging markets. Broking houses -- Nomura and UBS -- have also raised similar concerns.
After last year’s strong recovery, the Indian stock markets are up another 20 percent for the current calendar year.
The sharp run-up in stock markets have translated into huge inflows into equity mutual fund schemes (net inflows of Rs 59,978 crore for CY21). Retail investors have shown higher risk-appetite and participated in the slew of IPOs (including those of start-up companies) that were launched this year. To tap into these positive sentiments, mutual funds have also been launching several new fund offers (NFOs), crossing the 100 NFOs-mark in CY21.
In contrast to foreign brokerages, domestic mutual fund managers still remain bullish and believe that there are still attractive investment opportunities in the Indian stock markets.
In today’s Simply Save Podcast, Tarun Birani, founder and chief executive officer of TBNG Capital Advisors talks with Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani, on what should investors be doing with their equity mutual fund investments with so many market views floating around.

According to Pension Funds Regulatory and Development of Authority of India (PFRDA) data, the non-government sector subscriber base rose 2.4 lakh in the financial year 2021-22 up to August. During the same period last year, the system had seen addition of 1.6 lakh new subscribers.
In the last one year, this space has seen several developments, with investment charges being revised and new pension fund managers entering the fray. The PFRDA has also liberalised investment guidelines in July 2021. To discuss what these developments mean for NPS subscribers and what the future holds for the NPS space, we have with us today Mr Sumit Mohindra, CEO, ICICI Prudential Pension Funds Management Company.

We are seeing a flood of new fund offers (NFOs), with new funds getting launched one after the other. While this gives lot of options to investors, but at the same time adds to confusion. Should they get into NFOs in the first place, and if they do, what should they keep in mind before getting into them?
There have been nine NFOs launched since last week and quite a few more are in the pipeline. The year has already seen a huge number of NFOs -- 99 NFOs in 2021 -- and looks like mutual funds want to launch several more before the year ends.
As these are new funds, they don’t come with a track-record. To be sure, several of these new funds are even industry-first funds. So, the investment exposure offered by some of these funds has never been offered before to mutual fund investors.
A new fund is offering exposure to blockchain industry, while some funds are offering exposure to international real estate, and an international fund that will give exposure to 23 countries. New fund houses also filing innovative funds, such as electric vehicles funds, or passive funds that can give investors a wide market exposure, including small- and micro-cap stocks.
NFOs also get heavily marketed by mutual funds, as well as mutual fund distributors. And investors are easier to convince with equity markets at record highs, and positive sentiments around the overall economic growth. This has also led to huge flows coming into NFOs.
To make sense of this NFO rush, in today’s Simply Save Podcast, Vishal Dhawan, founder and chief financial planner of Plan Ahead Wealth Advisors talks with Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani to bust some of the myths floated around to pull investors into NFOs, and how investors should decide which NFOs to pick and which ones to avoid.
Social media platforms have been abuzz with two private general insurance companies – HDFC ERGO and Manipal Cigna – rejecting personal accident claims on unusual grounds. One was rejected on the grounds that the policyholder was riding a bike with an engine capacity of over 346, while the policy extended cover only to bikes of up to 150cc. eligibility is restricted to 150cc. The claim was subsequently paid and the clause eliminated from the policy.
Likewise, Manipal Cigna had initially rejected an injury claim under a personal accident policy. The policyholder had hurt himself while plucking mangoes from a tree and this was seen as a hazardous act. This claim, too, was paid eventually.
While both the claims were settled later, it did cause heartburn for policyholders and their families. Tune in to Simply Save to know how you can deal with unfair claim rejection cases.

Indian investors are seeing a large number of IPOs coming their way. Both new-age businesses and traditional businesses are looking to get listed on the stock exchanges, hoping to get good valuations for their companies on the back of the current stock market rally.
Retail investors have also been heavily participating in the IPOs, especially of technology and e-commerce businesses as these companies are what investors have experienced as consumers.
The recent IPO of the beauty and personal care platform -- Nykaa -- got subscribed 81.78-times the shares available in the IPO, with the retail shares getting subscribed 12.24-times.

But, whether traditional or new-age business, a company launching its IPO does not have any track record of its behaviour towards minority shareholders. It is only after getting listed on stock exchanges, these companies open up their shareholding to public at large.
Quite a few of the technology-driven e-commerce companies are still making losses, with some exceptions like Nykaa. While investors may not have all the historical data of a company, they can go through the company’s draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), where companies are required to disclose information like recent profit and loss statements, current shareholders, promoters, as well as any instance of past litigations.
After the company gets listed, it needs to follow SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR), which require companies to disclose every corporate action regularly, be fair to minority shareholders, and also maintain good corporate governance practices.
In today’s Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks with G Chokkalingam, founder and managing director of Equinomics Research and Advisory, on how much of their savings retail investors should allocate to IPOs, how they should read the company’s DRHPs and use other sources of information to decide whether to buy or avoid an IPO.
The return-filing season is in full swing, with the extended due date – December 31 – just two months away. This year, the most important change in the income tax return forms for individuals pertains to the new, alternative tax regime that was introduced in Budget 2020. It offers liberalised tax slabs and rates but offers minimal tax benefits compared to the old system. This is the first assessment year when the new tax regime will come into force.
Moneycontrol’s Preeti Kulkarni spoke to chartered accountant Vaibhav Sankla, Principal, Billion Basecamp Family Office to understand what this means for those who have chosen the new regime in financial year 2020-21 and will be filing returns now.
Investing in international funds has got much wider acceptance among mutual fund (MF) investors. AMFI data shows the number of mutual fund folios in fund of funds (FoFs) investing in international stock markets going up by more than three-times over the last one year. This is for the folios opened by retail investors. When it comes to high networth investors (HNIs), the folios have gone up by more than five-times. Investor inflows have also gone up in such funds.
Mutual funds have been launching several new funds -- new fund offers -- that not only give domestic investors exposure to companies listed on the international stock exchanges, but in some cases the funds are offering international exposure with a certain investment theme.
For example, Mahindra Manulife MF recently launched an international fund that takes exposure to international real estate investment trusts (REITs). PGIM MF also plans to launch a fund with global REIT exposure.
Fund houses are launching international funds both in the FoF mode and even in the form of exchange traded funds.
Some of the recently-launched funds have even changed track and are giving investors exposure to international funds that are actively-managed, and not a passively-managed fund. Take the case of the recently-launched IDFC US Equity FoF.
In today’s episode of Simply Save Podcast, we are joined by Trideep Bhattacharya, Co-CIO Equities Edelweiss Mutual Fund, who has spent several years as an analyst, as well as a portfolio manager tracking Asian Emerging Markets (EMs), as well as Developed Markets (DMs) like Europe. He talks on why investors should balance their international investments across both EMs and DMs and what are the latest developments in international markets that investors should keep in mind when making such investments.
For mutual fund and stock investors, the process of filing income tax returns will be different this assessment year (2021-22). This is because finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman abolished the dividend distribution tax in Budget 2020. So, unlike earlier, such investors will now have to declare their dividend income earned in financial year 2020-21 in their tax return forms.
This means you will need to get access to details of such income earned last financial year and ensure that you make accurate calculation before entering the details.
Mutual fund schemes offer a portfolio of investments to investors. So far, mutual funds have offered equity, debt, gold, international equity and even commodity investing to investors. Now, mutual funds are starting to offer a new asset class -- real-estate.
Mutual funds will be investing in an international fund, which in turn will hold a portfolio of real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs like mutual funds hold a portfolio of investments, but in this case rent-paying real estate. REITs also benefit from any capital appreciation of their real estate investments.
But, keep in mind that any sector-specific or theme-based investing does come with its own set of risks.
In an interaction with Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani, Ashutosh Bishnoi, managing director and chief executive officer of Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund, explains how mutual fund REITs will work and how they will be different from existing REIT products. The new fund offer of Mahindra Manulife Asia Pacific REITs FoF has opened on September 28, 2021.
Discover the success mantra of Fincare Small Finance Bank, A Digital Bank in an insightful discussion with Mr Rajeev Yadav, MD & CEO, Fincare Small Finance Bank.
The due date for filing income tax returns for the assessment year 2021-22 has been extended by three months to December 31, 2021. While you have more time on hand, it’s best to start the process at the earliest – or as soon as the new income tax portal’s glitches are completely resolved. This will help you avoid the last-minute rush and errors that could creep into your returns.
Tune in to Simply Save to understand some minor and not-so-trivial mistakes that can lead to avoidable hassles and worse, notices from the income tax department.
Nifty ended last week a tad below the 17,600 mark by adding more than a percent to its previous weekly close.
For the last few days, Nifty had been trapped in a small range and finally, it managed to find some momentum.
The trend is extremely strong but, the current move is not giving us comfort. We reiterate that when things start to look hunky-dory and there are no signs of correction, the market surprises.
Yes, it’s difficult to predict the precise time, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. As of now, we are not advising to short but at least one can choose to keep booking profits on a regular interval and stay light on positions.
The sharp correction of September 17 from higher levels is clearly an indication of this and hence, we continue with our cautious stance.
As far as levels are concerned, 17,700–17,800 are to be seen as immediate hurdles whereas, on the flip side, 17,450–17,250 should be treated as key supports.
The first sign of real weakness would come only if we start sliding below the lower range.
The banking space had the lion's share in the last week's rally as we saw Bank Nifty coming out of its long slumber to post a fresh record high of 38,112.75.
Going ahead, all eyes would be on this heavyweight basket because if Nifty has to move towards 18,000, this space needs to continue its momentum.
In addition, the broader end of the spectrum had a fabulous run throughout last week but we saw some decent profit-booking in this space as well on the last day, which does not bode well.
Hence, we remain a bit sceptical and we expect the picture to get clear in the coming week.
On the monthly charts, Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation, and while it has formed a fresh lifetime high of 17,644.60.
On the weekly timeframe also, the index has been maintaining higher top higher bottom formation for the last seven weeks.
On the indicator front, RSI plotted on the daily timeframe can be seen sustaining consistently above the 65 mark which shows strong positive momentum for the short to medium term.
Key support levels for Nifty are 17,254 (2-week low) and 16,722 (gap support). On the upside, key resistance level is 18,111 (50 percent extension level of the rise from 7,511-15,431, projected from 14,151).
If the index sustains above this level, it may head higher towards 19,046 (61.8 percent extension level of the rise from 7,511-15,431, projected from 14,151).
We believe that the long-term bullish trend remains intact and the Nifty will move towards 18,111 and 19,046 levels in the coming weeks.
After hitting record highs in the week gone by, Nifty consolidated at higher levels. However, stock-specific actions continued and mid and smallcap counters outperformed the frontline stocks.
On the derivative front, both Call and Put writers were seen active at 17,400 strike which points that the market is likely to remain sideways in the coming sessions.
On the technical front, secondary oscillators are pointing towards further consolidation.
For Nifty, 17,250-17,200 zone would act as strong support with bias likely to remain in favour of bulls.
For Bank Nifty, the level of 37,000 will act as a strong hurdle as of now, above which, we can witness the next round of short-covering by Call writers.
The foreign brokerage house Morgan Stanley last week said that it expects India to be included in global bond index in 2022. Being part of a global bond index, Indian debt markets could potentially get larger share of foreign inflows, as foreign investors track global indices closely.
But what could this infusion of liquidity in Indian debt markets mean for debt investors. Could this open up more investment opportunities for investors, who prefer debt products for their financial goals?
In today’s episode of Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks with Lakshmi Iyer, chief investment officer-debt of Kotak Mutual Fund, to understand the implications of this potential development.
The market took a breather in the last few days after a hefty rally seen during the last few weeks. The Nifty traded in a tight range during the last five trading sessions.
The intermediate uptrend remains bullish as the Nifty continues to make higher tops and higher bottoms over the last several months.
Nifty has been trading above the 20 and 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) which gives further evidence of an uptrend.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the uptrend to continue.
In the Options segment, Put writing was seen at 17,000-17,200 levels. During the last correction, Nifty has found support around that level and bounced back.
This level also coincides with the 20-day EMA which is currently placed at 16,950 odd levels.
Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact till Nifty is trading above 16,950 levels.
After the sharp rally of nearly 1,500 points in the Nifty during the last few weeks, it is possible that the index may consolidate in the coming days.
However, there is a lot of opportunity in the mid and smallcap stocks we believe.
During the last five days, while Nifty remained in the narrow range, broader market indices outperformed as they gained up to 3 percent.
We believe that one should focus on mid and smallcap stocks for higher returns from hereon.
In conversation with Priyanka Sharma, Senior Manager - Marketing & Comms & Tarusha Mittal, COO, Co-founder, Oropocket
Nifty50 has been trapped within a very narrow range for the last three trading sessions.
It has formed three small candles with a spinning top on the daily timeframes which signifies indecision.
Since July 28, the benchmark index has been trading in a rising channel pattern and continues to trade in a higher top higher bottoms formation.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) is in an overbought zone which is above 70 level on the daily chart.
Whenever any index or any stock is in a bull run and RSI shows an overbought scenario, one can expect a sideways time-wise correction in the counter.
Support for Nifty is placed at the lower band of the rising channel pattern which is placed near 17,000 on the daily timeframe.
Resistance is capped under the upper band of the pattern and the breakout above 17,450 will open the gate for 17,600 in the coming trading sessions.
After a breakout above its rectangle pattern, Bank Nifty has most likely completed its throwback near its trendline support on the daily timeframe.
The change of polarity concept is seen at the current juncture as the earlier resistance level is acting as an immediate support zone for the banking index.
Support for Bank Nifty is placed near 36,100–36,000 and the upside resistance is likely to be capped near 37,500.
Benchmark Nifty has made a new lifetime high above 17,400, however, some profit-booking deprived the index to give a close above this level.
The formation of a doji candle on September 6, which signifies indecision in the market, followed by another doji on September 7 suggests consolidation in the near term is a likely scenario and Nifty can trade within a broader range of 17,450 to 17,200 in the coming few days.
The trend, however, still remains positive therefore a buy on dips strategy is still the best strategy at this juncture.
IT, FMCG, capital goods, real estate and consumption are the sectors that remain positive and are expected to push the index higher.
Nifty Bank underperformed Nifty on September 7, after showing some strength in the last week. However, it is still in the positive territory above 36,200 which is expected to offer strong support.
Nifty Bank may witness buying in the near term after it has seen a small correction.
We recommend a buy around 36,200 for the target of 36,800-37,000, maintaining stop loss below 37,000.
In Union Budget 2021, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to tax interest earned on employees' own provident fund contribution of over Rs 2.5 lakh financial year 2021-22 onwards. For some employees, primarily government employees, the limit is higher at Rs 5 lakh. Now, government estimates suggest less than 1 percent of employees provident fund (EPF) subscribers, primarily high-earners, will be affected. However, even those who voluntarily contribute higher-than-mandated amounts to benefit from attractive, secure interest rates might need to re-evaluate their retirement planning strategy.
While the announcement was made in July, so far, the implementation norms had not been framed. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has now notified rules on how your taxable employees' provident fund contribution will be treated in your PF account. It has prescribed two separate accounts - for taxable and non-taxable contributions - within your PF account. To understand the implications for salaried individuals, tune into Simply Save.
Nifty rose for the third consecutive session to close at new all time high of 17,377.80 on September 6.
By surpassing 17,350, Nifty has retraced more than 200 percent of the entire fall which was seen from January 2020 (12,430) to March 2020 (7,511).
Momentum oscillator RSI has reached above 70 level on daily, weekly and monthly timeframes, which shows the overbought conditions in the current scenario.
However, being in the overbought zone does not mean correction would come immediately.
Nifty can keep adding gains while RSI may remain in the overbought zone for an extended period.
An important thing to note is that on all timeframes, RSI has not developed negative divergence which shows that the current rally carries a lot of strength.
Even if Nifty corrects for some reason, it should be considered an buying opportunity.
If any major top is to be formed then the last upswing would come up with lower top in RSI on daily timeframe, which would result in negative divergence and such scenario is not seen as of yet.
The ADX indicator has been rising and has reached above 38 on daily timeframe, which indicates the rising momentum in the uptrend.
The daily ADX is still at a fair distance from the +DI line, which leaves more upside room for Nifty to extend the gains.
Among the sectors, realty, IT and metals look attractive on short to medium-term charts.
Nifty Smallcap index has recouped almost all the losses and reached near its lifetime highs which augers well for the overall health of the market.
The level of 17,000 has become short-term support for the Nifty and with that stop loss, traders should remain long.
Far support for the Nifty is seen at 16,700. As far as resistance is concerned, traders should not anticipate any target and should keep long positions with trailing stop loss basis.
Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly chart.
On the weekly timeframe, we witnessed the index form a CIP formation (change in polarity) near 15,430.
On the daily charts, the index has been making fresh lifetime highs for the last three days which indicates a strong positive undertone in the market for the short to medium term.
However, daily RSI can be seen sustaining below 60 mark which shows a lack of positive momentum for the short to medium term.
The key support levels for the short term are 16,722 (gap support) and 16,376 (three-week low).
On the upside, a key resistance level is 17,324 (100 percent extension level of the rise from 14,151-15,962, projected from 15,513).
If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards 18,016 (138.2 percent extension level of the rise from 14,151-15,962, projected from 15,513).
Nifty has completed a thousand-point journey in just 20 trading sessions.
On August 3, it closed above 16,000 for the first time, and on August 31, it closed above 17,000.
On September 1, it witnessed a gap-up opening following its prior trend and registered a lifetime high of 17,225.75.
After hitting its lifetime high, the index slipped and closed below 17,100.
The gap between its current value and the 21-day exponential moving average has extended rapidly. In the past, when such a technical setup was formed, we have witnessed a sharp throwback towards the support zone.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) is above 75 level which is an overbought zone for the oscillator.
All this indicates Nifty may witness some profit-booking or sideways consolidation in the next few trading sessions.
The immediate support for the index is placed at 16,750 near its continuation gap and the resistance is pegged near 17,250–17,300 levels.
Bank Nifty, on the daily chart, has given a breakout of a horizontal trendline which was placed near 36,300 level.
We are expecting an outperformance in the banking index as the majority of indicators and oscillators are indicating a breakout of the consolidation zone.
Support for the Bank Nifty is near 36,200–36,050 level and resistance is near 37,300.
Nifty closed above the level of 17,000 for the first time on August 31. The Banking index also gained some momentum and closed at its multi-week high of 36,424.60.
The market is likely to move towards 17,250-17,300, tracking strong global cues.
Technical charts suggest that the banking index may outperform in the coming sessions as Bank Nifty has managed to close above the key resistance level of 36,400.
The bias is likely to remain in favour of bulls as long as Nifty is holding above 17,000 level.
Derivatives data suggests bears are now feeling uncomfortable at the current juncture as Call writers were observed unwinding their positions while Put writers were seen shifting to higher bands and added hefty open interest at 16,900 and 17,000 strikes.
We are seeing a flurry of new fund offers (NFOs) getting launched by mutual funds (MFs). Fund houses are either filling the gaps in their product basket or launching funds that give investors option of a new investment theme or a sector.
Some of the NFOs have also gone onto collect record investor inflows. So, how should you be dealing with this sharp rise of NFOs? Should you add them to your investment portfolio or avoid? Under what conditions, does an NFO merit your investments?
In today’s episode of Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks with Kalpesh Ashar, certified financial planner and registered investment advisor, for answers on these and other questions around NFOs.
Nifty continued its winning streak for the sixth consecutive day on August 30 as it surged 226 points to close at a new high at 16,931.
The intermediate uptrend remains bullish as the benchmark index continues to make higher tops and higher bottoms over the last several months.
Nifty has been trading above the 20 and 50-day exponential moving average which gives further evidence of an uptrend.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the uptrend to continue.
The slope of the daily ADX for Nifty is rising which indicates the index could continue its momentum in the medium term.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 16,400-16,500 levels. During the last correction, Nifty has found support at 16,376 and bounced back.
This level coincides with the 20-day exponential moving average which is currently placed at 16,450.
Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact till Nifty is trading above 16,400.
While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the Nifty closes below 16,400.
The immediate target for the Nifty is around 17,000-17,100 level at which we have seen Call writing.
Far resistance is seen around 17,500.
Bank Nifty has broken out on the daily chart by surpassing the previous resistance of 36,169 to close at a five-month high.
Bank Nifty is expected to move towards the next target of 36,800 and 37,500 levels in the coming weeks.
Correction in the mid and smallcap space is over and they are likely to outperform the benchmark index from hereon.
Private banks, PSU banks, NBFC and metal space should be on the radar for getting higher returns in the coming days.
Despite the volatility in mid and smallcap space, Nifty has managed to hold on and has continued to register new highs.
The index continues to be in an uptrend so one should continue to trade with a positive bias and avoid taking any contra trades until any reversal is seen.
The only concern that we have been highlighting is the banking index which has been underperforming for so long.
This index is still in a consolidation phase and has not breached its important supports. Hence, there is a good probability of some buying interest emerging in this sector which would then result in further support to the benchmark.
The immediate supports for Nifty are placed around 16,600 and 16,500 while the levels to watch on the upside will be 16,800 and then 17,000.
One should keep track of the global developments and also book timely profits in trading positions.
This week, on the "The Private Market Show," we have Jagruti Bhikha. Donning multiple hats, Jagruti is an angel investor and the Founder CEO of Rise Together VC. Rise Together aims to create a community of 100k angel investors who will provide financial and strategic partnerships to entrepreneurs across the world.

The Nifty, in the medium term, has not only sustained above the breakout level of 15,962 but has also formed a higher high and higher low pattern.
On the option open interest front (September 30, 2021 expiry), the highest Call open interest addition is seen at 16,500.
On the Put side, open interest addition is seen at 17,200. Thus, we can expect the broader range of the index to be 16,500-17,200 in the weeks to come.
RSI plotted on the weekly timeframe remains above the 50 mark and is drifting higher towards the overbought level, indicating that the bulls are attempting to take control.
The Nifty is moving higher after breaking out of a long consolidation.
The bullish momentum may continue and take the index towards 17,019 (a 61.8 percent extension level of the rise from 10,790-15,431, projected from 14,151 mark).
If the index manages to breach 17,019, we may see it move higher towards 17,799 (78.6 percent extension level of the rise from 10,790-15,431, projected from 14,151 mark).
The three-week low of 16,162 will act as a key support level. If it is breached, it may slide to 15,900.
The size of the daily candles for the last couple of days has been shrinking which indicates a sideways consolidation phase for the Nifty.
The index is closely trading above its 21-day exponential moving average on the daily interval. Maximum Call open interest (OI) is seen at 16,800 strike which will be a crucial level for this expiry.
On the downside, massive OI addition is visible at 16,500-16,600 strikes.
For the last couple of trading sessions, market breadth is in the favor of the bulls.
In terms of ratio, for every two positive closings, there is one negative closing.
We have also spotted a bullish hidden divergence in the RSI (14) wherein prices did not register a new intermediate low but the RSI formed a new low near 65 level on the daily interval.
The immediate support for the Nifty is placed near 16,400 level and resistance is pegged near 16,900 level.
Bank Nifty has made multiple attempts to break the resistance levels placed at 36,300–36,400 levels. But it has been unable to breach the upper band of the horizontal trendline on a daily scale.
The immediate support for the Bank Nifty is placed near 34,600 and resistance is pegged near 36,300.
The launch of the new income tax return-filing portal has been a tale of unending woes. It has been Riddled with glitches since its launch on June 7 and there is no fool-proof solution in sight yet. On August 21, it was unavailable to tax-payers, prompting finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to summon Infosys CEO Salil Parekh to New Delhi. The company, on its part, said that site went into emergency maintenance for two days. It was back to being functional before the meeting.
The finance minister has now set a deadline of September 15 for Infosys to resolve all the glitches. Will that leave enough time for return-filers to complete the process ahead of September 30 due date? What are the glitches tax-payers need to aware of? Preeti Khurana, Chief Editor, Clear.in, a tax consultancy portal weighs in on the issue in this episode of Simply Save. Tune in for details.
Nifty reclaimed the 16,600 mark on a closing basis on August 24. Recovery in the markets was led by metals, banking and pharma counters.
On the derivatives front, Call writers covered their short positions while Put writers added hefty open interest at 16,500 and 16,600 strikes.
Now, 16,800 would act as strong resistance for Nifty on the higher side while bias is likely to remain in favour of bulls in the upcoming sessions.
The banking index is facing a strong hurdle in the range of 36,000-36,300, above which, the index could extend its journey towards 37,000 level in the coming weeks.
Nifty closed in the green on August 23, taking cues from the pullback in most of the Asian markets.
At present, there is a huge divergence in the performance of the benchmark index and the mid and smallcap indices.
On August 3, Nifty broke out from a strong congestion zone by surpassing the crucial resistance of 16,000.
Nifty smallcap index found major top on the same day when Nifty registered bullish breakout. From the high of August 3, Nifty is 2 percent higher while the smallcap index has nosedived 10 percent.
So, the breadth of the market has deteriorated in the last two weeks.
Many small and midcap stocks have witnessed a correction of more than 20 percent from the monthly high.
While the Nifty is just a couple of percentages away from its all-time high of 16,700, the small and midcap indices are failing to sustain at higher levels.
The Nifty Smallcap index has breached its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) for the first time since April 2020.
Last week, the Nifty Midcap index gave a bearish breakout from the head and shoulder pattern on the daily line charts which indicates more downside in the index.
The reason behind Nifty's outperformance is support coming from select largecap IT, FMCG and telecom stocks.
These stocks and sectors can still outperform.
Therefore, it is advisable to stick to largecap stocks for short-term trading instead of anticipating bottoms in smaller stocks.
There could be pullbacks in small stocks due to oversold conditions on short-term charts, but it would be wise to use those opportunities to lighten the commitments.
Nifty has not even violated its 10 and 20-day EMA supports which indicates that the trend of the benchmark index is still bullish on all timeframes.
Immediate support zone for the index is at 16,300-16,350, followed by 15,900-16,000 zone.
The primary trend of the Nifty is bullish till it holds above the 15,900 mark. Any level above 16,700 would further negate the possibility of a bearish trend reversal in the Nifty.
The last week was a truncated one but we witnessed a lot of action in the market. Nifty settled at 16,450.50 on August 20.
Looking at the weekly close of the benchmark, one might think that there was not much damage despite a lot of uncertainty across the globe.
But if we closely observe individual stocks outside the IT and the FMCG spaces, brutal knocks are clearly visible.
There has been an onslaught on many counters in the derivatives space as well.
Such things can be deceptive because some of the other heavyweight baskets keep the index higher and this time it was defensive names like IT and FMCG.
The weekly chart of Nifty now exhibits a ‘Shooting Star’ candle which is an indication of some pause if the low of the candle is breached on a closing basis.
For this week, the cluster of supports at 16,350–16,250–16,150 should be observed closely.
As of now, there is no indication of Nifty sliding below the lower range of this support zone. But you never know how global developments pan out.
Nifty may gain strength only after convincingly surpassing the band of 16,500–16,600.
Also, the Bank Nifty and the Nifty Midcap 50 indices are trading at make or break levels. Since this week is the monthly expiry week, it would be interesting to see how things unfold.
Traders are advised to remain light for a while and the ideal strategy would be to look at the individual stocks rather than the benchmark index.

Indian professionals have been working from home since March 2020 due to COVID-19. With the vaccination drive is picking up pace, physical offices have slowly resumed even though not at 100 percent capacity. So, what are the lessons learnt and is there a stark change in the organisation culture?

Investors are often told not to put all eggs in one basket. Diversification of investments across different asset classes -- equity, debt, gold, real-estate, etc. -- can help in the long run.
However, you need to make sure that your investments have low co-relation, i.e. when one asset class does poorly, the other asset class tends to do the opposite.
Also read: How many equity funds should you have in your portfolio?
Apart from different asset classes, investing across different investment styles is also a smart way to diversify your investments. In today’s episode of Simply Save podcast, we are joined by Nishant Agarwal, head-investment advisory and family office, at ASK Wealth, to talk about importance of having exposure to different investment styles.
The market looked a bit tentative in the first half of the last week, especially the broader market, as we witnessed a healthy correction in the Nifty Midcap 50 index.
At one point, it was on the cusp of violating recent swing lows but fortunately, it got its mojo back and managed to recover a fair bit of ground towards the end.
Going ahead, things are going to get tougher because from hereon we are likely to see a lot of sector churning every now and then.
Nifty has reached 16,500 without the participation of the banking space. It would be interesting to see how things pan out going ahead.
Also, it would be unfair to expect a similar pace from Nifty to reach new milestones.
There is no sign of weakness but we reiterate when things start to look hunky-dory everywhere, wise traders choose to take some money off the table
We second this as we advise continuing with a 'one step at a time' approach and keep booking timely profits in the rally.
As far as levels are concerned, support is placed at 16,200 – 16,170 and 16,400 – 16,300.
On the upside, it’s hard to project any level as we have entered uncharted territory. Still, every 100 points rally from hereon should be treated as the upside range.

From a price action point of view, the Nifty has broken out of a long consolation on the medium-term chart, so going ahead, the level of 15,960 should act as strong support.
On the open interest front, the highest Call open interest addition is seen at 16,500 strike. On the Put side, good participation is seen at 16,000 strike. The broader range of the index may be 16,000-16,500.
RSI plotted on the weekly timeframe remains above the 50-mark and is drifting higher towards the overbought level, indicating that the bulls are attempting to take control of the trend.
We expect the bullish momentum to continue and take the prices higher towards 16,500 (50 percent extension level of the rise from 10,790-15,431, projected from the 14,151-mark).
If it manages to breach above 16,500, we might see it move higher towards 17,019 (61.8 percent extension level of the rise from 10,790-15,431, projected from the 14,151-mark).
While the number of COVID-19 cases in India continue to stay high, academic sessions in institutes have continued online. Since physical exams are not feasible for all educational streams, online exams that are monitored by technology-led proctoring systems are becoming the new normal. But will it continue even in the post-COVID era?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Manish Mohta, Managing Director, Learning Spiral to find out the pros and cons. Listen in for more.
Nifty tested 16,350 level in intraday trade on August 10 on a fresh round of buying in IT and private bank stocks.
TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank have added smart gains in the last few sessions.
However, metal along with PSU banks remained low as profit booking near record highs capped upside.
On the derivatives front, Put writers added hefty open interest at 16,200 strike and hold maximum contracts there.
Call writers were seen adding open interests at 16,300, 16,400 and 16,500 strikes.
For the coming sessions, we expect the bias to remain in favour of bulls as long as Nifty remains above 16,000.
The banking index is facing a strong hurdle in the range of 36,200-36,400, above which, the index could continue its journey towards 37,000.
The National Pension System (NPS) is set for a major overhaul in the weeks to come. For one, amendments to the Pension Funds Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Act are awaiting parliamentary approval. This will result in separation of PFRDA and the NPS Trust.
This apart, investment management charges are set to increase as is the number of pension fund managers. The pension regulator has already permitted pension fund managers to invest in IPOs, FPOs and offers-for-sale to offer a broader range of investment options to NPS subscribers. The FDI limit in pension fund management has been raised from 49 percent to 74 percent.
To understand the rationale behind these major changes and what they mean for NPS subscribers, we are joined by PFRDA chairman Supratim Bandyopadhyay. Tune in to Simply Save for this exclusive interview.
Dr. Saurabh Garg, CEO, Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI), speaks with K. Yatish Rajawat, CEO of CIPP on how far the organization has come, how it has changed or evolved from its agile beginnings, to where it envisions itself in the future.
Nifty has been consolidating in the range of 16,150-16,350 for the last three consecutive sessions.
On August 3, Nifty registered a breakout from the huge consolidation which held the range of 15,500-15,963 for almost two months.
Sometimes, previous resistance interchanges its role as a support and the same is the case with the Nifty at present.
Earlier resistance of 16,000 would act as a support for the Nifty. The near-term target should be in the range of 16,450-16,500.
This target is derived from adding the gap between the previous consolidation and the breakout levels.
In the recent breakout of the market, Bank Nifty and financial service indices took the lead and broke out decisively on their medium-term charts.
We expect these indices to outperform further from here. IT and metal indices are in continuation of an uptrend.
Smallcap and midcap indices have lost the steam and turned weak on the short-term charts. Daily RSI exited the overbought zone with a big negative divergence which signals the weakness in these indices.
So, for the short term, we can expect largecaps to outperform the mid and and smallcaps.
The advance-decline ratio has been disappointing for the last four consecutive sessions. However, that does not mean the bull run has ended for the small stocks.
Many stocks are reacting to their quarterly results and it is going to be so till August 15. Once the result season is over, we may again see the stock-specific bullish trend in selective stocks in the mid and smallcap segments.
The last three session’s move in Nifty and Bank Nifty seems more like a temporary halt after a sharp rise. This can be seen as an opportunity to initiate fresh long positions.
To conclude, we believe that the choppy trend has ended in the largecap space. We can expect Nifty to hit an upside target range of 16,450-16,500 in the short span of time.
Post achieving this target, traders can hold longs with trailing stop-loss and ride the trend further. Nifty has got strong support in the range of 16,000-16,100.
Dips should be utilised to create fresh longs in largecap stocks. However, the real opportunity is seen in financial stocks and private banks, PSU banks and NBFC can outperform.
Traders should stay cautious in mid and smallcap segments as the short-term trend has turned weak.
Nifty reached the magical figure of 16,000 in the week ended August 6.
Barring the muted session of August 6, the Nifty had an excellent week, gaining 3 percent and moving towards the 16,300 mark.
During last week, the benchmark index had a smart recovery from the lower range. Nifty Bank cooled off marginally towards the fag end of the last week.
All eyes will be on this index because any sustainable move beyond 36,200 would result in an extension of its rally towards its record high.
This will certainly bode well for the bulls as we may then see Nifty reaching or even moving beyond the next milestones of 16,400 – 16,500.
Although the upward trend has resumed after a long consolidation, we would advise short-term traders to start lightening up positions if Nifty reaches 16,400 – 16,500 levels in the coming days.
Prices have now started moving far away from some key moving averages on the quarterly timeframe charts.
We are not at all advising to go against the current trend, but at least taking some money off the table on existing positions is a good ploy.
As far as supports are concerned, 16,200, followed by 16,000 are likely to be the key levels for the benchmark index, whereas for Bank Nifty, support is visible around 35,500 – 35,200.
Momentum traders are advised to take one step at a time and follow proper risk management.

Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts and has formed a fresh lifetime high of 16,349.45.
The index has given a consolidation breakout of the last eight weeks from 15,430 – 15,962 levels.
The RSI plotted on the daily timeframe can be seen sustaining below the 60 mark which shows a lack of positive momentum for the short to medium term.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short term are 15,960 (breakout level) and 15,513 (3-week low).
On the upside, the key resistance level is 16,450 (potential upside target of consolidation phase).
If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards 16,687 (138.2 percent extension level of the rise from 13,596-15,431, projected from 14,151).
We believe that the long-term bullish trend remains intact and the Nifty will move towards 16,450 and 16,687 in the coming days.

Nifty finally managed to breach the key psychological level of 16,000 on August 3 after making many attempts in the recent past.
The breakout was seen with heavy volumes as Call writers were seen at 16,000 strike unwinding their positions while Put writers added hefty open interest at 15,900 and 16,000 strikes.
Healthy buying in most sectors pushed domestic equities to record high levels.
Heavyweights like SBI, ICICI Bank, ACC, HDFC, Axis Bank and Bajaj twins witnessed strong buying momentum which took the Indian market to record highs.
On the technical front, Nifty has witnessed a fresh breakout on charts after almost two months of consolidation in the range of 15,500-15,900.
In the coming sessions, we expect the momentum to continue towards 16,350-16,400 levels.
We expect that Bank Nifty will also join the rally and move towards 35,800 levels from here on. However, on the higher side, once again 36,000 will act as a strong hurdle for the banking index.
On August 1, some diligent tax-payers who tried to file their income tax returns were in for a shock. The new e-filing portal, they realised, was demanding a penalty for late-filing. This, despite the income tax department having extended the due date from July 31 to September 30. Though such tax-payers were attempting to file returns well before the deadline, the new income tax portal demanded late-filing fees due to technical malfunction.
This is not the first time that tax-payers have encountered such challenges. The finance ministry and the income-tax department have assured tax-payers that the glitches will be resolved soon.
Should you go ahead and file your returns now or wait for a few weeks for the hiccups to be addressed? Tune into Simply Save to listen to tax expert Karan Batra’s advice on the approach you should adopt now.
Nifty gained more than 100 points on August 2 on strong global cues to close at 15,885, its highest close since July 16.
The index broke out from the downward slopping trendline yesterday, adjoining the highs of July 16 and July 26.
It also filled the entire gap created on July 19. The benchmark index has resumed its uptrend and the possibility of it crossing 16,000 this time is very high.
On the derivatives front, we have seen Put writing at 15,600-15,700 levels. The 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) is placed around 15,600 and this level will act as strong support.
Traders should remain bullish and accumulate longs with the stop loss of 15,600 on a closing basis.
On the higher side, once we cross the 16,000 level, Nifty may go to 16,300-16,400 levels in the coming weeks.
Nifty Midcap and smallcap indices have broken out on the daily chart to close at all-time high levels.
This year, they have outperformed by rising by 36 percent and 50 percent, respectively, against a 14 percent rise in the Nifty.
We expect their outperformance to continue for the coming weeks and months also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on mid and smallcaps for higher returns.
Moneycontrol’s Karunya P. is in conversation with Siddharth Menon, co-founder & COO, WazirX delving into the nitty-gritty of investing in cryptocurrency and understand how do they work.
The market has been in a narrow range for over a month now. If we take a glance at the intra-month movement, we can see Nifty trapped in a slender range of 500 points.
The monthly chart now exhibits two back-to-back ‘Doji’ candles with very small upper and lower shadows. This is a sign of consolidation and the market seems unsure of this direction.
In such a scenario, one should avoid taking any directional view till the time we do not get a range breakout on either side.
Considering the historical trend, the month of August is known for bigger moves. So it would be interesting to see whether history repeats itself or not.
As far as levels are concerned, 15,850, followed by 15,950 are the levels to watch out for and on the other hand, the sacrosanct support is placed at 15,550–15,450.
If the breakout happens on the upside, then we may not see a bigger move, but if it happens downwards, then brace yourself for some tough time.
In the last fifteen months, the market has not experienced any meaningful correction and has been enjoying a strong bull run.
If we see a convincing breakdown below 15,450, then a decent correction is possible.
Till the time the market is stuck in a range, one should take one step at a time and continue with the stock-specific approach by following a proper exit strategy.

Nifty slipped back below 15,750 level, tracking weak global cues, on July 27. Except for metal and PSU bank indices, all sectors followed the footsteps of the benchmark and ended the day in the red.
Nifty Pharma index was the worst hit with a loss of over 4 percent.
On the derivatives front, Call writers once again added hefty open interest at 15,800, 15,900 and 16,000 strikes which points towards limited upside in the Nifty.
Put writers were seen unwinding their position from 15,700 strike which hints that bulls are on the back foot as of now.
Secondary oscillators suggest that the market is likely to trade with a negative bias in the coming sessions as long as Nifty is trading below 15,850-15,900 levels.
Volatility may be high as we are near the expiry of the July futures and options series.
In the last few years, investing in debt mutual funds has been difficult, especially in funds taking credit risks. The liquidity crunch that hit debt markets after Covid-19 pandemic led to redemption pressures on several debt schemes.
When redemption pressures hit a debt scheme, the fund manager is likely to sell higher-rated debt securities, which have some liquidity.
The remaining investors are likely to be left with a portfolio of lower-rated securities and may also have to bear the impact of NAV decline caused by any stressed sales.
In a recent consultation paper, SEBI has proposed the concept of swing pricing, to protect the interests of the investors that are left in the scheme. When debt markets go through disruptions, it is usually the sophisticated institutional investors that exit early, while retail investors are usually left behind.
Through this proposed mechanism, the daily NAV can be adjusted to impose certain costs on exiting investors, in times of market stress.
In today’s Simply Save Podcast, we are joined by Joydeep Sen, corporate trainer-debt markets, to find out more about the concept of swing pricing.
For almost two months, Nifty has been trading in a narrow range of 15,600 to 15,950.
Last week, Nifty found support around its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) and reversed north. At present, the 50-day EMA is placed at 15,581.
The daily ADX line for Nifty has reached below 9, which can be considered extremely low as compared to historical readings.
In this kind of setup, we can expect the ongoing consolidation to end soon.
The primary trend of the market is bullish as Nifty has been holding its level above 50, 100 and 200-day moving averages.
Nifty is less than a percent away from its all-time high of 15,962.
Though the market has been trading near the all-time high level, the moves in the largecaps have been very choppy in the last many weeks.
The choppiness is expected to be there unless Nifty surpasses the level of 16,000.
Midcap and smallcap stocks have resumed their outperformance after a small consolidation.
On the derivatives front, there has been continuous Put writing at 15,700 and 15,800 strikes, which indicates that longs in Nifty should be held with the stop loss of 15,700.
Any level above the recent swing high of 15,962 would push Nifty towards the next targets of 16,200-16,300.
Nifty has been trapped in a range of 500 points for more than a month now. This is a slender range considering the fact we are trading at much-elevated levels.
After undergoing some price correction, we witnessed a good relief rally to reclaim the level of 15,800 on a weekly closing basis.
This bodes well for the bulls but considering the recent trend, we are still not out of the woods yet. We should wait for Nifty to surpass the sturdy wall of 16,000.
After this, the next immediate levels to watch out for would be 16,200 – 16,400.
If Nifty has to reach and surpass 16,000, the banking sector will play a vital role. The banking index has to surpass 36,000 if we have to see the benchmark Nifty at new highs.
For Nifty Bank, 35,000 – 35,500 are intermediate hurdles. On the lower side, the cluster of supports for Nifty is placed at 15,700 – 15,550 – 15,450 and for Bank Nifty, 34,200–33,900 are the make or break levels.
On the "The Private Market Show" this week, we have Amit Ranjan, an early instigator of tech startups in India.

Tune in to the episode to know more.
Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts but has formed a 'Doji’ candle pattern at the lifetime high levels which shows some fatigue in the uptrend.
The benchmark index has been moving in a range of 15,430–15,962 for the last few weeks.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short term are 15,430 and 15,145. On the upside, the key resistance level is 15,962.
We believe that the long-term bullish trend remains intact. If Nifty sustains above 15,962, it may move towards the 16,687 level; till then it will be fluctuating between 15,430 – 15,962.
After hitting a record high last week, the Indian market witnessed selling pressure at higher levels and Nifty slipped below the crucial support of 15,700 tracking weak global cues.
Metal and realty counters were worst hit while cement and paint stocks were on top of the leaderboard.
On the derivatives front, Call writers remained active at 15,700 and 15,800 strikes while Put writers shifted to lower bands.
On the technical front, Nifty has been struggling in a broader range of 15,450-15,950 for a long time and now once again 15,500 to 15,450 zone would act as a strong support area in the coming sessions.
Secondary oscillators suggest that the market is likely to witness negative bias in the coming sessions as long as Nifty is trading below 15,800.
We can expect stock-specific action in the coming week rather than any directional move in the market.
With COVID-19 cases seeing a slight decrease amidst the rise in vaccination, there is optimism in the hiring space. Even as mass hiring is almost back to normal, C-Suite hiring is picking up pace. But is executive search back to pre-pandemic levels?
In today's episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Gaurav Chattur, Managing Director APAC, Catenon to find out if senior-level hiring is seeing a big uptick. Listen in for more.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered financial and emotional upheavals for families across India since it hit its shores in March last year. But the most-affected category is that of children who have lost both their parents. According to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), over 3,500 kids fall in this category, while more than 26,000 have lost at least one parent.
Not surprisingly, such news reports have heightened the concerns of parents. While most parents invest in mutual funds and ensure that they have a large term insurance policy in place, the virulent second wave has shown that this may not be enough. Effective financial plan as well as legal framework that can protect your children even in your absence need to be put in place.
Tune in to Simply Save podcast to know more about nominations, Wills and private family trusts that can insulate your children against financial crises in future.
Nifty fell sharply on July 19 on the back of a sharp fall in the Asian markets and overnight weakness in the US markets.
From the intraday low, Nifty recovered more than 50 points to end the day with losses of 171 points at 15,752.
This is the biggest fall in the Nifty in percentage term since April 30, 2021.
In the last two months, Nifty has made multiple bottoms in the range of 15,500-15,700 levels.
On the derivative segment, we have seen Puts being written at 15,500, indicating this level will act as strong support going forward.
Though Nifty has witnessed a sharp correction, it remains in an intermediate uptrend as long as it is trading above the important support level of 15,500.
A short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the index closes below this level. For traders, our advice is to remain bullish and accumulate longs on declines with the stop loss of 15,500.
On the higher side, Nifty is likely to find immediate resistance at 15,882 and 15,960.
Nifty Smallcap index has broken out on the weekly and monthly charts.
We expect its outperformance to continue for the coming weeks also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on mid and smallcaps for higher returns rather than largecap stocks.
For the week ended July 16, Nifty added nearly one and half a percent to the previous weekly close.
Last week concluded at a new high that bodes well for the bulls. Now, 16,000 is merely a formality and if there is no aberration on the global front, we would see the market reaching the millstone in the first half of this week only.
After this, 16,200 is the next level to watch out for. We reiterate that if this assumption has to turn into reality, the banking space needs to contribute.
The moment the banking index crosses the 36,000 mark, we would see Nifty hastening beyond the magical figure of 16,000. The levels of 15,800 and 15,630 are the key supports for Nifty.
One needs to keep in mind that any sustainable move below 15,630 would apply brakes on the ongoing optimism and we may then see some corrective moves in the market in the short term.

Zomato IPO which has grabbed the eyeballs of retail as well as institutional investors does not make market veteran Shankar Sharma, who is the co-founder and vice-chairman at First Global excited.
The retail frenzy with respect to Zomato IPO is that it has touched people’s lives – so there is familiarity with the name and to that extent, people want to participate, Sharma said in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Zomato is a concept stock and is still a loss-making company. Indian market typically is stringent about profitability and India does not have a great history of rewarding companies which make losses, explains Sharma.
The data shows that typically overhyped IPOs don’t do too well in the secondary market and Burger King is a good example. The stock is down over 20% from its record high.
Globally, if you look at Grubhub, which is a similar company to Zomato, did not do well at all. If you look at global peers, the stocks in the secondary market have not done well for the overhyped startup companies, added Sharma.
If we look at global listing similar to Zomato they have been disappointing for overhyped startup companies. Another important point to note is that the valuations of global companies are far lower than Zomato as well.

The Indian market ended at record closing highs on July 15. Nifty settled with a gain of 70 points, or 0.44 percent, at 15,924.20.
RSI plotted on the weekly and the daily timeframes are placed above the 50 mark and moving higher, indicating bulls are in control of the trend.
If the index sustains above the 15,915 mark we might see it rally to 16,000-16,100, followed by 16,400.
Going ahead, the key support level to watch out for from a short-term perspective is 15,600. If the index breaches below this level, we can expect further downside towards 15,450 and 15,100-15,145.
Ajay Tyagi who is an Executive Vice President & Fund Manager – Equity at UTI AMC Ltd manages about $4 bn in AUM is of the view that midcaps as a category are now trading at a slight premium to large caps, whereas their relationship with large caps over the last 15, 20 years is that of a slight discount.
Tyagi has spent more than two decades with UTI, and prior to being designated as a Fund Manager, he has worked as an Assistant Fund Manager in the Offshore Funds division.
Commenting on reforms, Tyagi highlighted that what Dr. Manmohan Singh did almost 30 years back was really seminal, really courageous, it unleashed the potential of entrepreneurship here in India, he said in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Edited Excerpts –
Q) What is your call on markets? We are trading near record highs but seem to be facing stiff resistance around 15900-16000 levels.
A) One thing should be very clear – markets have a mind of their own. Since we are in this business of forecasting, I would say a couple of things that are very clearly visible right now.
One is that the broader markets have continued to march ahead, while you can say that the top 30 or the top 50, or the top 100 names are facing some kind of resistance, as you very rightly mentioned.
Secondly, I think, if you look at the valuations, the markets do appear to be trading at least at about 20%-25% premium to their average valuations seen over the last 10 or 15 years.
The market is looking ahead right now after about 3-4 years of a lull in the economic activity, and we know that this lull has happened for a variety of reasons -- demonetization, GST implementation, a bit of contribution from the IL&FS prices, and of course, a whole lot on account of basically the pandemic.
If the economy goes back to a 6% to 7% kind of GDP growth, and therefore earnings also coming in the mid-teens, the market may continue on its journey ahead.
I guess most of us do remember the most fascinating bull market that we've ever had, which was between 2003 to 2008. Most bull markets do see what is known as bull market corrections along the way, so I don't rule that out.
Q) Manmohan Singh’s July 24, 1991, budget speech is considered as the harbinger of economic reforms in India. What is your take on that? Do you think the best of the reform years are already behind us and what this means for investors?
A) Perfect, I think that is a great question. Let me dial back a bit. Let me just introduce some bit of economics into the discussion.
GDP growth is the factor of three things -- growth in labor, growth in capital, and growth in productivity.
Now, we all understand growth in labor and growth in capital. Therefore, let's just talk about growth in productivity. We've seen countries in Europe, Japan, and the U.S. continuing to march ahead because of growth and productivity.
Now, this growth in productivity, in turn, is linked to what we call as reforms here in India. We need a huge amount of fillip for this productivity to continue increasing and reforms are nothing but essentially providing that framework of productivity improvement.
To that extent, I would say that Dr. Manmohan Singh did almost 30 years back was really seminal, really courageous, it unleashed the potential of entrepreneurship here in India.
While I don't remember the fine print, but I do remember the amount of excitement that was there all around.
That excitement was basically a very wet, warm excitement because we've seen a huge amount of productivity improvement, a huge amount of entrepreneurial spirit, which has come in into the country, and which has led to great businesses having been created. Some of them are really of international repute.
To my mind, we still have not traveled a long distance, but we are still far, far away from the amount of productivity at the level at which the Western world operates.
Q) What is your call on June quarter earnings?
A) I think the June quarter, of course, as we are all aware, would be tended, in the context of what we saw in the December quarter of last year, and the March quarter of the last financial year.
The June quarter would obviously look anemic compared to these two quarters for the simple reason that, I would say, for pretty much half of the duration of the June quarter, the economy was in a lockdown. It will lead to a softer quarter.
I actually want to look beyond the earnings sprint or just the quantitative number. And look at the qualitative commentary provided by management.
Q) Small & midcap stocks have been resilient but most experts advise caution after a stellar rally in the last 12-18 months. What is your take?
A) Yeah, it's been a fantastic journey for these small and mid-caps from the absolute bottom that they saw in April, May of the last year. I would say that a big part of this rally that we are seeing has happened because they were beaten down significantly.
In fact, if you remember, let me just say that the correction in mid and small caps started way back in January of 2018. That was pretty much the high point of their previous cycle.
And from Jan 2018, we saw mid and small caps correcting. Even if the pandemic wouldn't have happened, I can just tell you that mid and small caps were down 15% 20% from their previous high.
And the pandemic basically just added fuel to fire and the correction basically became even more pronounced for mid and small caps. And from there, of course, coming back to average valuation itself led to a big rally.
But of course, the party has extended beyond that. Mid-caps as a category are now trading at a slight premium to large caps, whereas their relationship with large caps over the last 15, 20 years is that of a slight discount.
To some extent, you can say that the party has slightly got overextended. Nothing to be overly worried about right now, for all I can say is that the easy money in mid and small caps is clearly behind us.
Q) Your majority of the portfolio is allocated towards banks, financials, and IT stocks. Do you see the financial sector taking lead as the economy turns?
A) The key holdings in our portfolio are from the financial services space, IT, but equally are from the consumer and healthcare space as well. So, these are the four, I would say broad sectors where we are really bullish.
I strongly believe that if India comes back to a more normative 6% to 7% real GDP growth, it would certainly lead to better outcomes for the banking sector in India.
The credit growth in the economy is a multiplier of overall GDP growth. If GDP growth sustained at 6%-7%, we would need mid-teen kind of credit growth in the economy – that’s good news for banks.
Q) There's an interesting theme that has come up, especially in the COVID-19. One is definitely the influx of retail investor that we have seen towards the equity markets. And the other thing, which really is picked up was the international business or international diversification. So, what are your views on that? Is it here to stay or it is just a passing phase?
A) There's a new phrase this time, people are calling them as Robinhood investors, taking cues from what is happening in the U.S.
Whenever markets do well, it does attract a lot of retail participation. This is not something new that we're seeing right now, of course, we've seen it at a different magnitude and scale this time
While the markets have been going up, this is something like a self-fulfilling prophecy because you invest, you get returns, you get emboldened, you get a little more confidence, then you invest some more.
And then till now, it's been a virtuous cycle. But, we all know our experience that this virtuous cycle definitely gets punctured someday. That's the time when a lot of these retail investors would be left holding businesses, which possibly weren't as good as they were anticipating.
The fact remains that bull markets do attract every time in every cycle, a lot of retail participation. Usually, when the music stops, retail investors to actually get burned.
Will this trend last till the time as I said, the music is playing on? This trend will continue. In terms of international diversification as well, I see that trend continuing.
I think a lot of mutual funds have really, very successfully introduced schemes, which basically allow the Indian investors to participate in opportunities outside of India.
I would say that this is true diversification like we've been taught in our textbooks. Investors do diversification outside of their local market.
This is just the perfect kind of diversification that most investors can have in their portfolios. And there's another element to it.
There is always an innovation-led investment opportunity, which perhaps India doesn't offer, at least not to the level of what the U.S. companies or corporate America have to offer.
A lot of innovation, as we all know, in terms of the Amazons or Microsoft or for that matter, Facebook or for that matter, a lot of innovation happening in the pharmaceutical or biotech side has been happening in the U.S.
By investing in such kinds of funds, we are providing ourselves with an opportunity to participate into such kind of names, which can scale up into really big business opportunities or trillion-dollar opportunities over time.
I think this is a trend, which will only continue and only deepen. And I would encourage retail investors who actually bought some amount of their savings into such funds.

Nifty continues to trade in a narrow range rectangle pattern on the daily chart. The width of the rectangle pattern is off almost three hundred points where a lower band of the pattern holds support near 15,600 level and the upper band of the pattern is near 15,900.
For the last couple of trading sessions, the market breadth has been in favour of bulls where advances are more than the declines. DIIs and FIIs have been buying at lower levels.
All these data indicate a majority of stocks are moving out of their conjunction zone.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) was reading above 70 level on June 15 and since then the oscillator has been reading in a lower high lower low formation on the daily timeframe.
Recently RSI has found support near 50 level and has formed a rounding bottom formation with closing above 55 level with positive crossover.
The current pattern formation in the RSI suggests uptrend may resume soon once the oscillator crosses above 65 level on the daily scale.
If Nifty breaks the upper band of the pattern which is placed near 15,920 then it may witness a major breakout which will help them cross the 16,100 level. Support for the Nifty is placed near 15,600.
Bank Nifty is trading in a higher high higher low formation within the rising channel pattern on a daily scale.
It is trading above its 21 and 50-day exponential moving averages and the gap between the two averages is widening on a daily basis which indicates a strong upward trend is likely to unfold in the banking sector.
Support for the Bank Nifty is placed near the 35,150 level and the upside is capped near 36,800.
There is an increased perception that students graduating from higher education institutes in India are out of sync with the requirements of corporate jobs. This has been attributed to the little or no exposure to companies and their job-specific skill needs.
So, would having corporate executives as professors in educational institutes help bridge the gap?
In today’s episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol’s M Saraswathy talks to Kamlesh Vyas, Partner, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP to find out if the ‘corporates as professors’ model will work better in making the youth employable. Listen in for more.
Bulls made a comeback as the Indian market soared high and recovered from its last week's lows and the benchmark Nifty closed above 15,800 once again on July 13.
On the derivative front, Call writers at 15,800 strike were seen unwinding their positions while Put writers added hefty open interest at 15,700 strike.
Nifty is trading above its long and short-term moving averages on the daily charts with the formation of a higher bottom.
On the higher side, now 36,000 will be a strong hurdle for the banking index above which, we can witness a fresh round of follow-up buying.
For Nifty, 15,900 would act as a major hurdle in the short-term above which, the index can march towards its record high and above 16,000.

It seems like another lifetime. Yet it was just 30 years ago that India’s economic liberalization process began. Nilesh Shah, chief executive officer, Kotak Mahindra mutual fund remembers those days like as if they were yesterday.
Shah had just about got his chartered accountancy qualification. He has passed out with a gold medal and got his first job with ICICI Ltd. Here, he worked in the merchant banking division where he helped companies raise money through capital markets.
“It was a rough time for India. The governments were unstable, Rajiv Gandhi, the prime ministerial candidate was assassinated, an emergency bailout loan was sought from the International Monetary Fund by pledging gold,” says Shah.
He says that in those days he used to go with his seniors to companies who aspired to raise money from the capital markets, that were highly controlled and less regulated at the time.
The old-age traditional businesses, Shah remembers, were skeptical. They used to say that import duties were brought down, imports would become cheaper and Indian businesses would die. “But the new age businesses had started to celebrate and used to say that we were ready to conquer the world,” he recollects.
Shah says that a lot of things have changed since then. The capital market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was born in the 1990s that brought order in a highly unregulated and “wild, wild west stock market.”
What about mutual funds? Shah tells us stories of how up until the mid 1990s, the Indian mutual funds industry was dominated by the public-sector fund houses. Some of them used to give assured returns; a practice that SEBI later banned knowing the unsustainability of it.
Shah takes us through how fund houses themselves reformed and strengthened their processes. Investors, he says, have also matured. Shah says that as information began to become more easily accessible and available, thanks to internet technology and transparency brought about by SEBI and the stock exchanges, investors also started reading up more about companies.
It’s a whole new world out there, says Shah, who has also grown throughout these past 30 year period.

Nifty has been consolidating for the last five consecutive weeks in the range of 15,450-15,915.
The benchmark index formed a weekly low at 15,632 which was very close to the previous swing bottom support of 15,635.
There are good chances that this support could result in a bullish double bottom formation in the coming sessions.
The primary trend of the index is bullish as Nifty has been holding above its 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages.
Below 15,600, Nifty would change its trend from bullish to bearish and till that happens, traders should make stock and sector-specific bullish bets.
The breadth of the market is very strong which is a very good sign. Out of the last 12 sessions, advances remained higher than the declines in eight sessions.
This is a positive development for the continuation of an uptrend.
From the sectors, realty, infra, cement and logistics are expected to do well from hereon.
A sustained rise above 15,900 would result in a fresh breakout and in that case, we can expect Nifty to extend the rally towards 16,200-16,300.
A close below 15,600 would violate the current consolidation on the downside.
At present, trading opportunities are more visible in the mid and small-cap sides and the focus should be more on these segments.

On the weekly expiry day of the last week, the market had a rough day which was mainly due to negative development across the globe. Fortunately, the fall got arrested and Nifty eventually concluded the week tad below 15,700.
In the last month or so, we have seen multiple attempts to reach the millstone of 16,000.
The way we closed last Wednesday, we were all set to see the magical figure, but global sell-off was the spoilsport. There was no follow-through to this selling momentum as we saw Nifty stabilizing after entering the key support zone of 15,650 – 15,600.
When the market fails to surpass a specific level after multiple attempts, it is considered an ominous sign. But there has not been any brutal correction so far which bodes well for the bulls.
After the last two days of price action, our confidence in predicting Nifty at 16,000 or beyond in the ongoing rally has certainly shaken a bit, but we would still remain hopeful as long as Nifty holds a strong support zone of 15,600 –15,450.
If these levels are violated then one should get prepared for a decent short-term correction in the market. Until then, better to trade with a positive bias.
During the first half, 15,750 – 15,800 are the levels to watch out for and the first sign of strength would come only after reclaiming 15,800 on a closing basis.
We reiterate that if this has to happen, the banking sector continues to be the key factor as it’s trading around its crucial support area.
Traders are advised to remain light and stick to a stock-centric approach by following strict stop losses. Also, it’s important to keep a close eye on the global developments as well.

The best decade for Indian equities ironically was the 1980s, and if we look back at the 1980s the Sensex compounded by around 30%-35% -- that's the best decadal return the Sensex has ever given and that predates the 1991 reforms, Saurabh Mukherjea is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Marcellus Investment Managers said in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Mukherjea, author of Coffee Can Investing as well as Unusual Billionaires with decades of experience in the capital market says that the real hallmark of great wealth generators is not stock not the bottom line, but a derivative of bottom line which incorporates working capital cycle and asset turns which is called free cash flow.
Edited Excerpts -
Q) As we step into the second half of 2021 what are your views on markets? The Nifty50 rallied 13% in the first half, do you think the momentum will continue?
A) Much as we enjoy the bull market I have to be honest, we don't really look at the broader market. Our approach in Marcellus is pretty oblivious to broader market circumstances, whether it's a panic like January, February, March last year, or this healthier market circumstance you're pointing to.
We have seen over the last seven-eight months, superb fundamentals across our PMS schemes which are seeing earnings growth. In some cases, earnings growth is pushing towards 40% mark in the companies in which we have invested.
Remember, these are not small companies, and almost all our investee companies are dominant market leaders. Earnings growth is very healthy over the last seven, eight, nine months.
In the period starting January to March this year, many of our portfolio companies have delivered 40%-50% kind of earnings growth. But, even more impressively, were the free cash flow generation come through.
Free cash flow is calculated after taking CapEx into account, and after taking your working capital load into account. Even in our smaller cap portfolios, we are seeing almost 80%-90% jumps in the free cash flow.
So what does it mean? Well, it points to the fact that well-run companies in India Inc. are in very good health, and they're in the pink of their health. And, as COVID destroys the informal sector, well run India Inc. companies are in a superb position to grab the market share and consolidate position which will lead to the creation of shareholder wealth in the coming years.
My reckoning is generally strong well run companies are in an outstanding position today, compared to say where they were two, three, four years ago.
Q) The year 2021 also marks 30 years of reforms for India. What is your take on that? For the market, it never looked back – do you feel that the current reform process are equally strong and will take the economy to new highs?
A) I am not sure if listeners will make that much money by agonizing about reforms because the best decade for Indian equities ironically was the 1980s.
If you look back at the 1980s the Sensex compounded by around 30%-35%. That's the best decadal return the Sensex has ever given and that predates the 1991 reforms.
So, there isn't that much of a relationship contrary to the popular perception that somehow economic reform creates shareholder wealth -- or there isn't that much relationship either in India or indeed in the Western world, between economic reform and broader markets.
The notion that the broader bull market conditions is what you need to create wealth is also something that people need to challenge and question.
If we look at the last decade there were been plenty of issues around say DeMon, GST, COVID, Yes Bank, DHFL, as well as ILFS. In spite of that, in the last decade, $1 trillion of wealth has been created in the Indian stock market, but 80% of that has been created by 16 companies.
So, just 16 companies accounted for 80% of the wealth in the Indian market. The last decade for the average investor in the NIFTY or typical sort of investor who invests in an assortment of stocks would have been an unspectacular decade 10%-11% compounding.
But if you're a discerning investor and you locked yourself into a dozen or so of these 15 giant wealth creators, you would have compounded your wealth close to 25% over the last decade.
So broader aggregates, economic reform, broader macro aggregates were not very useful for making money. One needs to go stock specific, and one needs to understand the changes in the structure of the economy and benefit from that.
Q) Well, there's a lot of craze on tech focused startup. So are you also planning to start something around it?
A) No, as I said, we are fairly oblivious to whatever is the flavor of the day, or what is the current market sentiment. I have never quite understood why people get so excited about IPOs and the latest theme (Tech based IPO).
I'm sure, if you remember, 10 years ago, everybody wanted to invest in infrastructure stocks and you know how that ended.
I remember the turn of the century 1999-2000, I wasn't living in India, but I used to keep reading that Indians are going berserk investing in IT services stocks, we also know how that ended.
Our job remains to consistently identify clean companies, selling essential products and services to India's 140 crore people, and doing so through dominant franchises which have little or no competition.
And, if they happen to be in the tech sector, brilliant, we love it. But, we have no great reason to believe that they are in the tech sector disproportionately.
There's a couple of tech companies that meet that criteria, clean, essential, dominant. But, there's only a couple of tech companies that meet that criteria.
There are plenty of companies outside the tech sector, some in the specialty chemical sector, some in the pharma sector, some in FMCG, some in financial services, who meet our criteria and we invest in them and compound our balances well that around historically fighting the last four years it around 25% per annum.
Q) You have highlighted the emphasis of Free Cash Flows in one of your blogs. Help our listeners understand the relationship between Free Cash flows and earnings growth?
A) I think this is an important subject that you raised one that is close to our hearts. When most people read newspaper headlines, or they read the media coverage, they see a certain company that has grabbed so much market share, its volumes are growing much – the focus here is on the top-line growth.
But, top-line creation doesn't necessarily create wealth, whether you look at the airline sector, or you look at the telecom sector or at the metals and mining sector.
In all of these sectors, we have companies whose top lines or volumes have grown at a solid rate in the last 20 years, but they have not been able to create a great deal of wealth.
Why?
Because they haven't had the pricing power to protect their margins. So, investors should look at one level more, and scan through profit margin.
If the top-line is vanity, the bottom line is sanity. The ability to grow your profits, over a five, 10, 15 year periods is the sign of a good company.
But there's one more layer to it. Often what happens is that as companies grow bigger, they lose their discipline in terms of controlling efficiency in the shop floor in terms of assets, inspecting their machines harder and harder.
They lose their efficiency in terms of managing the working capital cycle, which is paying your suppliers later, collecting monies from customers quickly, and keeping your inventories at a minimum.
So what we find as the real hallmark, the real hallmark of great wealth generators is not stock not bottom line, but a derivative of bottom line which incorporates working capital cycle and asset turns which is called free cash flow.
Free cash flow is nothing but the operating profit, less whatever you had to set aside for working capital, less whatever you've spent on CapEx.
So, if your CapEx load is low, your working capital incremental working capitals requirements are low, then your free cash flows tend to be very healthy.
Typically in India champion franchises example, Titan, Pidilite, Asian Paints, Page Industries, Relaxo all these champion franchises over the last five years, 10 years, 20 years have grown free cash flows at around 25% per annum. These are all investee companies of us, which is why I know the numbers so well.
To summarize, the top line is vanity, the bottom line is sanity, and cash flow is reality. And, that's why I keep telling people to focus on cash flow, not the newspapers headlines and not even profitability.
Q) You have talked extensively about polarization in the Indian stock market where wealth creation by Nifty companies is being driven by fewer and fewer companies that account for 80% of the wealth creation in the stock market. What is leading to polarization and how should investors approach it?
A) So, what's happening in India is very similar to what happened in America in their corresponding state of development. As the country got networked which includes sea, railways, the telegraph, a modern road network.
In India, the same is happening over the last 10-15 years and I suspect we've got 10-15 years more to go of networking the country using broadband, low-cost airlines, a more extensive highway network, and so on.
But, you can see very visibly how the consolidation of the country is creating one or two giant companies in every sector, and those giants are scooping up the entire sector's profits.
If the sector is large, say banking, or IT services and the sector dominator is becoming a national leviathan, I call it a giant monster who accounts for the bulk of the country's profits.
Now, let's start with market cap and then we go to fundamentals. In the decade ending December 2010, around 27 companies accounted for 80% of the wealth creation in the stock market.
In the decade ending December 2020, barely 16 companies, 16 accounted for 80% of the wealth creation in the country. So as you’ve nicely put it, wealth creation has got polarized into the hands of very few companies.
Now, why has that happened? 10 years ago around 2010, the top 20 profit generators in India account was around a third of India's profits.
Today at the end of FY21 the top 20 profit generators in India accounts for 90%, 95% of India's profits. So the profit share of the elite top 20 firms quadrupled in the last decade.
The top 20 have pulled further and further away from the less of the market, which is why it explains why they're driving the bulk of the stock market wealth.
10 years or so ago, the top 20 franchises would have accounted for 30%, 35% of the country's free cash flow. In the year ending March ‘21, the top 20 franchises accounted for around 60% of India's free cash flow.
So free cash flows are getting concentrated into the hands of 20 companies, profits are getting concentrated into the hands of 20 companies. Wealth creation, therefore, is getting concentrated into the hands of 20 companies.
And what that means for your listeners today is -- if they are building portfolios, where they’re buying several PMS, several mutual funds, severally AIS doing some direct punting on the market might not be that effective.
Unfortunately, that's not going to be a very effective way to create wealth, because wealth in India in the next decade will be created by at most a dozen and a half companies more likely a dozen or so companies.
And, that concentrated nature of wealth creation will actually make wealth creation a very different prospect from investing in the broader indices in the stock market.
Q) Do you plan to introduce new products in the forthcoming future? You launched a new SIP program recently, please take us through that and what are the benefits?
A) So we've watched and admired from a distance the outstanding work done by the mutual fund industry in making investment buying friendly and making investment investor-friendly.
I think the SIP program that the mutual fund industry launched has been a great success. I wish them continued success to the SIP program.
What we felt that just like a SIP in the mutual fund context is useful for investors, why shouldn't we do a SIP in the PMS industry, because after all, the benefits are very similar.
Namely, if you are a salaried person like I am and your income comes in every month at a relatively regular rate, and you're able to set aside say 10% 20% of your income, you can then keep investing in the PMS at an ongoing rate, provided of course you can need the minimum requirement of Rs 50 lakhs.
Secondly, by doing so, by consistently investing by what's called dollar-cost averaging, you're consistently dripping money into your SIP, you're being able to neutralize the highs and lows of the stock market.
The third benefit you get is that you're able to turn savings into investment. You're able to turn investing into the stock market into a habit rather than something which you have to do after deep contemplation at the end of every financial year.
So the benefits of SIP for people who are earning regular income is great, because they don't really suddenly come upon a certain large sum of money, they're constantly getting fresh funds and they can put that in a PMS SIP just like they do with the mutual fund SIP.

The Nifty has been maintaining higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts which shows the long-term bullish trend of the market is intact.
On the weekly timeframe, the Nifty has been moving in a range of 15,430–15,915 for the last few weeks which indicates the momentum of the market has slowed down but still there is no sign of trend reversal.
The index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA).
The RSI plotted on all the timeframes has been sustaining above the 60 mark which shows bullish momentum is intact for the medium to long term.
The key support levels to watch for in the short term are 15,430 and 15,145. The key resistance level is 15,915.
If the index sustains above this level, we might see the index head higher towards 15,986 and eventually 16,687.

Nifty has been trading in a very narrow range for the last couple of weeks. It has formed a pennant-like formation on the daily chart.
Since June 18, the index has been witnessing higher low formation on the daily chart and a horizontal trendline resistance of around 15,900.
Selling emerges whenever the index approaches its lifetime high level.
Nifty50 on July 7 tested its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) on the intraday chart, from where prices witnessed a positive spurt and closed above 15,850.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has formed a rounding formation on the daily chart near 60 level with a bullish crossover.
Bank Nifty has been trading in a higher high higher low formation within the rising channel pattern on a daily scale.
Prices have been above their 21 and 50-day exponential moving averages and the gap between the two averages is widening on a daily basis which indicates a strong upward trend is likely to unfold in the banking sector.
Some major banking stocks like HDFC Bank and SBI have closed above their conjunction zone and will likely lead the Bank Nifty ahead.
Looking at the current chart set up, we expect a bullish breakout in the benchmark index in the coming trading sessions.
Near-term support for the index is placed near the 15,650 level and once the previous high of 15,915 is sustainably breached, it could rise towards the 16,000 mark and even higher.
For the past 15 months, students and young professionals across India have been pursuing their educational courses online. Companies are also getting choosy about who they hire. You may have the educational qualifications but if you don't possess the right skill-sets you wouldn't be relevant for the job.
So are degree programmes getting redundant?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Narayan Mahadevan, Founder & CEO, Bridgelabz to find out the details. Listen in for more.
Welcome to the special podcast series -Small, Beautiful & Strong- that dives deep into how India’s small and medium businesses have reorganised through technological innovation and other improvements.
The pandemic has forced SMB entrepreneurs to think differently. To deal with the uncertainties, they have to deal with a persistent contest between seemingly conflicting goals. How do you rebound in a situation when markets have collapsed? And how do you not just survive, but also grow and expand in a rapidly changing ecosystem?
This episode examines how small businesses have responded to these two questions through technology and management innovation.

The Indian market began this week on a positive note as the Nifty again surged towards 15,900 with strong support from banking counters. However, gains didn’t last long as selling pressure at higher levels once again saw the index slide to 15,800.
On the technical front, the Bank Nifty managed to close above the key resistance level of 35,500, pointing to more positive moves in the coming sessions.
On the higher side, 16,000 and 36,000 levels will act as strong hurdles in the short term for the Nifty and the Bank Nifty, respectively.
A decisive move above these levels will again trigger follow-up buying in the market. Banking counters can lead the market in the coming days.

The consumer price index-inflation for May, which was released last month, climbed up to 6.3 percent. This was the highest in six months. The June inflation print is expected later in this month.
Rising inflation indicates increase in prices of essentials such as food, clothing and house. It also means rise in cost of educating children, as well as healthcare.
If you are invested in certain categories of debt mutual funds, you may also see dip in your returns, as bond yields tend to go up in high-inflation environment.
Your real rate of return might even turn negative, if your investment returns are below inflation rate.
So, what you should be doing in such times?
In this edition of Simply Save Podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks to Nisreen Mamaji, founder, MoneyWorks Financial Services, to find out what should be your investment strategy in a high-inflation environment and how inflation can impact investment returns.
Nifty, on July 5, gained more than 100 points on buying in metal and banking stocks to close at 15,834, its highest level since June 25.
On July 2, the benchmark index recovered from the lower levels and closed in the green after four sessions of consecutive fall. This move has saved Nifty from closing below the important support level of 20-day EMA, currently placed at 15,697.
The index found support on the upward sloping trendline, adjoining the daily lows of April 22, 2021 (14,151) and May 14, 2021 (14,591).
In the derivative segment, we have seen Put writing at 15,600-15,700 levels.
Though Nifty witnessed correction during the last week, it has not violated important supports of 15,600-15,700 levels.
On the higher side, a close above 15,900 would result in a fresh breakout and in that case, we can expect Nifty to extend the rally towards 16,100-16,200.
India VIX closed at the lowest level since December 2019. Lower VIX indicates volatility has reduced significantly.
While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would be confirmed if Nifty closes below 15,600.
For traders, our advice is to remain bullish and accumulate longs on declines with the stop loss of 15,600 on a closing basis.
On the higher side, Nifty is likely to find resistance at 15,915 and 16,100 levels.
The sectors that are looking strong on the medium to long-term charts and are expected to outperform in the coming weeks are IT, pharma and metals.
While Nifty is trading in a narrow range, the Nifty Smallcap index broke out on the daily chart last week.
We expect their outperformance to continue in the coming days also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on mid and small-caps for higher returns.

The week ended July 2 was probably the dullest week in the last 15 months that our markets experienced.
There are instances when key indices witness some consolidation and trade in a slender range, but mostly during such times, the action continues in individual themes and there are ample opportunities available in the market to keep traders engrossed.
Barring last Friday, stock-specific moves were missing throughout last week which was frustrating for momentum traders.
We managed to hold the crucial support of 15,650. As long as 15,650 – 15,450 are held, the bulls have no reason to worry about.
On the upside, reaching the new milestone of 16,000 has become challenging and the market seems to be waiting for some sort of trigger to reach that level.
Before this, 15,800, followed by 15,900 are immediate hurdles.
Some positive movement last Friday has raised hopes that the benchmark index may head higher towards the new millstone this week. But we reiterate, if it has to happen, the banking space needs to come out of its slumber.
In this episode of "The Private Market Show", brought to you by Moneycontrol.com and LetsVenture, we talk to entrepreneur and investor Kunal Bahl.

He also shares the story of how he became an early investor in Ola and how he was amazed using the Mama Earth product before investing in the company. Tune into the Episode.
It is time to move from H R I T H I K, an acronym used for HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ITC, Tata Consultancy Services, HDFC Ltd, Infosys Technologies and Kotak Mahindra Bank to A K S H A Y stocks to tap into emerging market opportunities, says Kshitiz Mahajan, Co-Founder at Complete Circle Consultants Pvt Ltd in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
The acronym A K S H A Y stands for
A. - Asian Paints (sector – Paints)
K - Kajaria Tiles (sector – Tiles)
S – Shree Cement (Sector – Cement)
H - HDFC Limited (Sector - Housing Finance)
A - Astral Poly (Sector – PVC Pipes)
Y – PolYcab (Sector - wires and cables)
Here are edited excerpts of the interview:
Q) On the global front it is FAANG while in India HRITHIK was quite popular – you have coined your own acronyms which taps into emerging opportunities in the forthcoming years – tell us more about it?
A) Time is for AKSHAY – a superstar who will gain from Real estate and infra turn around. Covid and post covid, one thing is for sure that work from home will be a new normal (it will be a mix of office and home).
Work from home increases productivity, saves travel time, reduces office expense, enriches work-life balance and is more nature friendly.
In the near future, people will look at buying bigger/better houses, because as a percentage of time spent at home will increase. It will benefit close to 50 sectors.
Asian Paints
The trend suggests that decorative paints volumes are growing at about 1.5x GDP growth rate, and Asian Paints is expected to benefit from this category growth being the market leader with a dominant market share.
Branded players are growing faster on account of up-trading from the non-branded segment. With the increasing affordability of households due to rising incomes, the middle class has jumped from 15 percent to 35 percent changing the trend from joint families to nuclear families.
Through the organic and inorganic routes, the company has made a foray into adhesives, bath fittings, and kitchen improvement.
Kajaria Ceramics
Kajaria Ceramics’ performance was strong across the topline & bottom line. Tiles sales volumes were up 39.2% YoY at 25.4 MSM, driven by a stellar rebound in demand and benign base (Q4FY20 had 19% volume decline). The average capacity utilisation during Q4FY21 was at ~98%.
Shree Cement
It no longer a cement company only. There are various products which the company is making such as -
OPC Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
PPC Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC)
PSC Portland Slag Cement (PSC)
AAC BLOCKS.
Shree Cement is a market leader in the North. It has a strong pedigree. India is the second-largest cement producer after China.
HDFC limited
Robust pick up in individual disbursement at 60%, margin expansion of ~10 bps and collection efficiency at 98% reflect healthy revival in individual business which comprises ~74% of gross loan book.
Valuing core business at 2.5x FY23E ABV and subsidiaries at 15% holding company discount. It is a stock worth looking at. If we take out group companies, the entire business of HDFC Limited is available for 1.1 lac cr. This company will have a long runway.
Astral Poly:
Astral is one of the major players in the plastic pipe and fittings market which is estimated to be ~ Rs 280 billion in size.
CPVC pipe and fittings market is expected to grow at a rapid rate due to it replacing the GI/copper pipes market.
CPVC resin from SEKISUI will be sourced from its Japan or Thailand plant and compounding will be done in-house. Making own compounds will help improve margins due to better sourcing. The adhesives business is a big opportunity for the Company
POL.Y CAB:
Polycab is a leader in the domestic Cables & Wires category and is increasing its product portfolio in the fast-moving electrical goods space.
It is a leader in Cables & Wires (C&W). The company has in-house manufacturing and backward integration that help in cost and quality control. It has a strong network, and a healthy return profile.
Q) I see a mix of good old quality companies such as Asian Paints, Shree cement, HDFC Ltd, along with new players. What is the kind of time frame investors should keep in mind in case they plan to invest in A K S H A Y and why?
A) In terms of equity investment, more than price, time spent in the market is more important. You can enjoy the power of compounding if you focus on T (time period) more rather than R – Return on stocks.
Investors who join D-Street for wealth creation should have a minimum time frame of 5 years.
The formula for compound interest is
FV ==P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is the initial principal balance, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per time period and t is the number of time periods.
Q) What makes you so positive on the real estate/infra space?
A) There is a strong demand for IT/ITES sector in the southern region like Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. An infrastructure investment plan for 1.5 trillion is expected for the next 5 years.
The rural demand is also rising amid expectations of a good monsoon for the last 3 years. Better agriculture income and govt support will support rural housing.
Lower interest rates along with govt participation for underprivileged support our argument. Rapid urbanization - 33% in 2011 to 40% in 2030 will only fuel demand.
Capital expenditure budget likely to see a robust 26.2% growth. Govt CAPEX on key infra is up 15.6% on a Yoy basis.
Q) How should investors pick stocks especially at a time when markets are trading at record highs and most stock prices look stretched?
A) For picking stocks, investors should stick to stock SIP which is the best way from picking a stock.
Stock investing is like drinking tea. Rather than drinking in one go, you will enjoy it more if you take sip-by-sip before it cools down. Stagger your investment.
If you have 100 today – start with 25-30 across stocks/Mutual funds – not more then 12-15. Slowly built your portfolio and enjoy the benefit of compounding (the rule of 72)
Q) I am sure you get this question quite often. But, let me repeat it as well for the benefit of our listeners.
In terms of portfolio allocation especially for salaried investors say above 30 years and can contribute 30,000-40,000 per month towards equity. What would you advise – invest in stocks or MF or both. If both, what should be the ideal allocation for long-term wealth creation?
A)Mutual funds and stocks both should co-exist in your portfolio. The percentage may vary depending on risk appetite, time horizon, knowledge, and interest in stocks.
Someone who doesn’t have time to track his/her portfolio – should do only Mutual Funds.
But, someone who tracks it but doesn’t understand or know how to read financials of a company should do 80% MF, and only largecap stocks.
Someone who has time to track his/her portfolio and read/understands financials of a company should do 50:50.
By investing into MFs/Index funds/ETFs you diversify your risk.

The Nifty50 on the monthly time frame has been forming a higher high, and higher low pattern that indicates that the trend of the benchmark index from a long-term perspective remains strongly bullish.
Coming down to the weekly chart, we can see that the prices have been facing rejection near the 16,000 mark for about 4 weeks.
From a price action point of view, the index has been witnessing fatigue on the shorter time frame, and on the daily chart, we can see a range-bound movement for the past 7 sessions between 15,915 and 15,673.
On the option, open interest front (8th July 2021 expiry), the highest open interest is seen in the 16000 Call options, and on the put side, the highest open interest is seen in the 15400 contracts.
Thus, we can expect the broader range of the index to be 16000-15400.
On the indicator front, the stochastic plotted on the weekly and the daily time frame can be seen forming a bearish crossover near the overbought level that indicates that the bulls might be losing their hold on the trend.
Going ahead, the key support level to watch out for is 15,670 on the downside, and if the index breaches below this level then we expect further downside towards the 15450 mark (3-week low), and 15,100 (multiple touchpoint level and the 20 weeks SMA).
To sum it all up, the Nifty seems to be feeling fatigued as it approaches the 16,000 mark and might witness a slight correction. The 15670 levels in the coming sessions will act as a make-or-break level if the prices breach below this level we can expect the prices to move lower and test the 15450 and 15100 eventually.
Our bearish view will be negated if the 15915 mark is breached on the upside, and in that case, we can expect the index to move higher and test the 16000-16100 mark.

The Nifty50 continued to trade lower on the daily chart for the third straight day after forming a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern on 28th June.
It can be observed on the daily chart that the index is forming a smaller degree Rounding Top formation, and it can also be called as distribution phase as prices are moving lower.
From the last six trading sessions, the benchmark index is trading in a very narrow range of almost two hundred points without giving any direction bias.
But, prices have still managed to close above their 21-day exponential moving average on the daily interval.
If we closely observe the PARABOLIC SAR indicator from the last couple of months one can find that whenever the price has declined near the SAR indicator we have seen a strong buying in the index and currently the indicator is placed near 15527 levels on the daily chart.
Bank Nifty is underperforming the benchmark index from the last couple of trading sessions and trading in a lower low formation in the intraday chart (30 mins).
The banking index on the daily chart is trading above its 50 EMA which is placed at 34400 levels while resistance is placed near 35600 levels.
The Nifty50 index is holding the key support zone, but the chart pattern suggests that there might be some action expected in the index if the price remains above the support zone.
If the index breaks the crucial resistance zone of 15920-16000 levels in the coming trading sessions then buying will resume again. Support for the index is placed near 15500 levels which are clubbed with a SAR indicator.
With the board exam results around the corner, students from across the country are getting closer to pursuing their higher education courses in India and abroad. Here, financing their degree seems to be a major concern for candidates. India now has education-focussed NBFCs that could come to the rescue.

Since last year, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Indian shores, insurers, hospitals and policyholders have been mired in several disputes over claims.
While you can always escalate your complaints if you feel your insurer has rejected your claims unfairly, in some cases you need to be vigilant to ensure that you have a watertight case. Non-disclosure of pre-existing diseases at the time of buying the policy is often the major bone of contention between insurers and policyholders. Ensure that you disclose your entire health history – chronic conditions in particular - while buying the policy. At the time of claim settlement, ensure that your documentation is in order. For instance, if you have sought treatment at home, obtain official prescriptions from your doctor – some insurers may not treat instructions sent over messaging platforms as valid prescriptions. On the other hand, if you feel the insurer is unreasonable, you can approach the insurance ombudsman offices or consumer courts.

The Indian market witnessed selling pressure at higher levels as Nifty slipped below 15,750 due to profit booking on June 29.
Metal and auto space along with banking counter dragged the market while pharma and FMCG showed some buying interest.
On the derivatives front, Call writers were observed adding hefty open interest at 15,800 and 15,900 strikes while Put writers were seen shifting to lower bands.
Bank Nifty managed to hold above 35,000 which could act as strong support for the index in the upcoming sessions.
On the downside, any break below 34,900 could add further selling pressure on Bank Nifty. For Nifty, 15,650 will be immediate support below which the index can further slide to 15,450 as well.
In the upcoming sessions, any sharp gains in the market may remain capped as long as Nifty trades below 15,900.
A tug of war between bulls and bears is likely to keep markets on a volatile path.
Nifty registered a new all-time high of 15,915.65 in intraday trade on June 28. However, the index failed to sustain at higher levels and witnessed a profit-booking thereafter.
For the last five trading sessions, Nifty has been consolidating in a narrow range of 15,700-15,900. This range needs to be taken out on a sustainable basis for the momentum to get back in favour of bulls.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices are outperforming the Nifty.
The primary trend of the market is bullish, as the Nifty has been holding above its 10, 20, and 50 days moving averages.
Maximum Call open interest (OI) on the derivatives side stands at 16,500 while the maximum Put OI stands at 15500.
On the basis of this data, we can expect Nifty to reach a target of 16,500 if it takes out the immediate hurdle of 15,900.
Longs should be kept with a stop loss of 15,500. Below 15,500, Nifty would change its trend from bullish to bearish and till that happens traders should take stock and sector-specific bullish bets.
From the sectors, banking, IT and pharma are expected to do well from hereon.
Though bulls are dominating, we should not get carried away, as more than 94 percent of the NSE500 stocks have now reached above their 200 DMA and if we consider historical bull market rallies, this number suggests extreme and mean-reverting breadth from the overbought zone.
Nifty Smallcap index has surged two-fold from the March 2020 bottom. So from here, stock selection should be done very carefully and fresh trades should be taken with appropriate risk management strategies.
Stop-loss in trading positions should be kept on a trailing basis.
Nifty may hit 16,300 once the short-term hurdle of 15,900 is taken out. Short term trend of the Nifty would remain bullish till it holds above 15,500.
The market managed to register its highest ever weekly close slightly below 15,900 for the week ended June 25.
In our previous weekly commentary, we had advocated some caution considering the formation of the hanging man pattern on the weekly chart. To activate this, the prices should have slipped below 15,450, but since it reversed from 15,500, the pattern was not confirmed.
Also, we had shared our observation on the placement of the Nifty Midcap 50 index around some crucial levels. All these negative developments have not been completely negated yet, but with the kind of up move we witnessed in Bank Nifty last Friday, the bulls seem to have the upper hand here. Hence, banking becomes a deciding factor going ahead.
A follow-up move in the coming sessions may push the Nifty towards its much-awaited milestone of 16,000 which may even extend towards 16,200 later.
Hence, it would be interesting to see how things pan out in the banking space. As far as supports are concerned, the immediate levels are placed at 15,700 – 15,670 and the base is to be seen at 15,450 now.
As long as the market defends these important supports, the short-term trend remains bullish. But having said that, we would still reiterate that one should avoid being complacent and it’s better to continue with the strategy of one step at a time.
Although it’s difficult to time it, whenever any rally overstretches without giving any meaningful correction, the market tends to surprise you anytime. So to be on the safer side, try to avoid aggressive leveraged positions overnight.
In this episode of The Private Market Show, brought to you by Moneycontrol.com and LetsVenture, we have with us Arun Tadanki, who angel invests full time via his private syndicate Waveform Ventures on LetsVenture.

Tune in to the podcast to understand all about how syndicates work in the private markets.
Midcap & smallcap indices might have rallied 20-40% so far in 2021 compared to about 13 percent return in the Nifty50, and BSE largecap index, it is time to turn cautious as valuations for the broader market look stretched, says Mihir Vora, Senior Director & Chief Investment Officer, Max Life Insurance in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Mihir has more than two decades of in-depth experience across asset classes including Equity, Fixed Income & Hybrid funds and manages over Rs 90,000 cr in Asset under Management (AUM) in FY21.
“Valuations are stretched for smallcaps as well as for largecaps, but relatively small & midcaps have covered all the underperformance of 2 years. There is a bit of valuation froth in the market,” he said.
“In the last 12 months, smallcaps have covered up all the underperformance since 2018. There is a bit of valuation froth, and we look at some of the smallcaps, they are trading at elevated PE multiples which has not been the case for a very long time,” explains Vora.
At this point, Vora is more comfortable with largecaps compared to mid & smallcaps.
What will drive next leg of the rally?
IT, pharma saw massive buying interest in 2020 amid the pandemic, but as India moves towards unlocking of the economy, domestic economic themes will be the theme to watch out for.
“For the last 12 months we have been more externally biased as we looked at IT, pharma, ancillaries, and chemical, but for the next 3-12 months, it is time to start looking at sectors which are domestic recovery play,” added Vora.
“On the global front, the US and European economies are bouncing back at a rapid pace due to fiscal stimulus along with monetary stimulus (Fed balance sheet has doubled in the last one year or so). For India, we are still lagging in terms of economic recovery,” says Vora.
For India, it is just a function of time when India will bounce back, suggests Vora. It may take a while, but will bounce back. Hence, it makes sense for investors to look at sectors which are domestic consumption sectors.

Vora in the D-Street Talk highlighted that retail trading is picking up pace, it is already more than 60-70% of market volume which is definitely on the higher side.
But, we did see this kind of participation before as well. However, some of the participation could be structural in nature thanks to the new Apps which has given the ease of entering the market with a small amount of Rs 10,000-30,000.
These Apps are making it easy for investors to trade even if they are in a full time job, and with low interest rates, equity becomes a preferred play, explains Vora.

In the last couple of trading sessions, we have witnessed profit-booking in Nifty near lifetime high levels.
It moved below 15,700 but sustained above the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) which indicates the primary bullish trend is intact for the short to medium term.
On the weekly timeframe, Nifty has been forming an indecisive candle pattern for the last three weeks.
This shows fatigue in market sentiment at higher levels which can cause some correction if the Nifty breaches the 15,430 level.
The index remains above the 50, 100 and 200-say simple moving averages.
The RSI plotted on the daily timeframe can be seen turning down from the overbought zone which confirms that the bullish momentum has weakened and we may see some profit-booking in the market at least for the short term.
The key support levels for the short term are 15,430 and 15,145. The key resistance level is 15,901 and if the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards 15,986 and eventually 16,687.
Nifty on the daily chart has formed a double top pattern at around 15,900.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has drifted lower from 70 level which is an overbought zone for the indictor and it has given a breakdown of a horizontal trendline and settled below 60 level with bearish crossover on the daily timeframe.
The recent fall in the Nifty50 was arrested near its 21-day exponential moving average which is placed at 15,597 which is an important short-term support level for the index.
Looking at the current chart set up we are expecting a volatile movement with a bearish tilt in the coming trading sessions.
Near-term support for the index is placed near 15,450 and upside is capped near the 15,900 – 16,000 zone.
While the COVID-19 cases across India are slowly decreasing and the vaccination pace is going up, corporates have begun firming up plans to begin physical offices. Employees are being encouraged to take their vaccination shots on one hand while hybrid work model is also being studied. But what are the practices to keep in mind in this 'back-to-office' phase?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Aditya Narayan Mishra, CEO, CIEL HR Services to find out details. Listen in for more.
Bulls made a strong comeback in the Indian market as the equity benchmark Sensex hit its all-time high of 53,057 on June 22 while Nifty remained just short of retesting its record high.
Banking counters witnessed sluggish moves while the auto sector gave some momentum to the market.
On the technical front, Bank Nifty is facing a strong hurdle in the zone of 35,200-35,500. We expect the banking sector to gather some momentum in the upcoming sessions.
The market is likely to remain in the bullish territory as long as Nifty is holding above 15,500.
We can expect some volatility this week as we are heading towards the end of June series futures and options expiry.
Traders need to keep a strong gauge on rollover data to the July series for further cues.
Technically, the level of 16,000 would act as a key psychological level for Nifty, above which, we could witness the next round of buying momentum which could take the market towards 16,250.
SEBI has been pushing mutual fund industry to widen its reach in smaller towns and cities. In industry parlance, these markets are called as B30 towns. Simply put, these are cities and towns that are beyond the top-30 cities.
Data shows that just little over 18 percent of investor assets managed by mutual fund industry, come from B30 locations.
So, what is it about investors from these parts of the country that make them wary of mutual funds? Is it do with their preference for physical assets or to do with their income patterns?
And what the industry can do to get more investors from these parts to invest in the mutual funds? Are there are enough incentives for individual distributors to get these investors, who on an average make very small investments in mutual funds?
In this podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani speaks with Ashutosh Bishnoi -- managing director and chief executive officer of Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund -- who shares his views on several of these questions and also what investors should be doing with their investments right now.
The fund house, which manages investor assets worth Rs 5,271 crore, was launched in 2016 with the focus on smaller cities and towns.
After six years, last week, the RBI gave out a new banking license to the acquirers of a distressed cooperative bank. Banking remains one of the few sectors of the Indian economy where license raj is well and truly alive. The claim, a well-justified one, is that licensing controls the risk of systemic failure, but it has resulted in an environment where several sectors are credit-starved; the credit to GDP ratio at 50% is among the lowest and across-the-board cost of capital is among the highest among the world’s major economies. In an increasingly growth-challenged economic scenario brought into sharp focus by Covid-19, reforms in bank licensing assume critical significance.
Today in Policy Talk, K Yatish Rajawat, CEO CIPP, speaks to Nachiket Mor, who has been a banker, non-profit head, and now a researcher. Mr Mor’s various simultaneous interests include banking, technology and non-profits. In this discussion, he weighs in as the banker who headed the committee that recommended licenses for differentiated banking and small finance banks.
Nifty fell sharply in morning trade on June 21 due to a sharp fall in the Asian markets and overnight weakness in US markets.
However, from the intraday low, Nifty recovered 241 points to end the day with a gain of 63 points at 15,746.50.
Last Friday, the benchmark index made a low of 15,450 and bounced back sharply. This support coincides with the previous all-time high level of 11,432 which will interchange its role as a support.
If we draw the upward slopping trendline, adjoining the lows of April 22 and May 14, support comes to around 15,450.
Therefore, we believe that though Nifty fell sharply on Friday and during the early part of Monday, it has not violated important supports of 15,400-15,450 on the closing basis.
Nifty remains in an intermediate uptrend till it is trading above the important support level of 15,400.
While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the Nifty closes below 15,400.
For traders, our advice is to remain bullish and accumulate longs on declines with the stop loss of 15,400 on a closing basis.
On the higher side, Nifty is likely to find immediate resistance at 15,770 and 15,900 levels.
We continue to believe that sectors that are looking strongest on the medium to long-term charts and are expected to outperform in the coming weeks are IT, FMCG, pharma and metals.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap 100 indices have witnessed some correction from their all-time high levels, but their primary trend remains positive.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices have outperformed during this calendar year by rising 28 percent and 36 percent, respectively, against a 13 percent rise in the Nifty.
We expect their outperformance to continue for the coming weeks also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on mid and small-caps for higher returns.
Welcome to the special podcast series -Small, Beautiful & Strong- that dives deep into how India’s small and medium businesses have reorganised through technological innovation and other improvements.
In this episode we examine the path for small businesses to the “new normal” powered by the engines of technology and digitisation.

Nifty fell 0.7 percent in the week ended June 18, snapping its winning streak of the last four consecutive weeks. Last week, we saw a lot of churning in sectors where defensive spaces like FMCG and IT showed some strength.
Metals had a terrible week as we saw an almost 7 percent cut in the index. Despite some recovery, the banking index ended the week with a loss of over a percent. Nifty Midcap 50 index saw a meaningful correction
of over 3 percent during the week.
The kind of price action we saw last Friday, is like a glass half full or half empty.
While the key indices managed to hold crucial levels, the market was struggling at higher levels and the mid-cap index started to display some signs of exhaustion.
In our previous weekly commentary, we had mentioned how the Nifty Midcap 50 has reached a cluster of various Fibonacci ratios and last week’s correction has clearly validated our assumption.
We are now in the monthly expiry week and looking at the overall positioning of our market, we expect the volatility to increase a bit.
If we take a glance at the weekly chart of Nifty, we can see two back-to-back small body candles and last week’s formation resembles a ‘hanging man’ pattern.
Such a pattern requires confirmation in the form of breaking its low. Hence, it would be interesting to see how things pan out in the first half of this week.
As far as levels are concerned, 15,820 – 15,880 are immediate resistances, whereas 15,550 – 15,450 – 15,400 are support levels.
We advise traders to lighten up positions at higher levels and it is better to go one step at a time for the time being.
In this episode of "The Private Market Show", brought to you by Moneycontrol.com and LetsVenture, we talk to Sumon Sadhu, a staunch 'thesis-driven angel investor' active in 7 geographies. Sumon dives into how he thinks while creating an investment thesis, spot a mega-trend and time your investment.
To know about how angels like him 'compete' with new investment structures like Syndicates, Solo GPs, and Micro-funds, tune in to the episode.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has released several orders against Franklin Templeton Asset Management Company (FT AMC), which it plans to appeal against.
SEBI in its orders has levied a penalty of Rs 512 crore against the FT AMC, as well penalties on various employees of the fund house.
These include the chief executive officer, chief investment officer, fund managers, compliance officer and the trustee company.
The SEBI orders will have implications not only for FT AMC, but also have wider impact on the mutual fund industry.
SEBI went through the forensic audit of the six wound-up schemes before passing its orders. There is a clear message in these orders that the regulations should not only be followed in letter, but also in spirit. The intention behind a regulation should also be taken seriously, that seems to be SEBI’s message for mutual fund industry.
Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks to Paritosh Gupta of Gupta Law Associates and Abhinav Shrivastava, co-founding partner at GSL Chambers and advocate-on-record at Supreme Court, who represented investors against FT AMC. They share with us what they think about SEBI orders and whether the penalties are enough?
Investors should be cautious and selective amid record highs on D-Street and the big earnings recovery which the street is waiting for could well come in 2023, says Kenneth Andrade, founder, and chief investment officer at Old Bridge Capital Management said in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Kenneth has over 30 years of experience in Indian Capital Markets, portfolio management, and investment research he has a formidable 15-year track record managing some of India's most successful equity funds.
Edited excerpts:-
Q) With both Sensex, and Nifty50 at record highs – does it make you cautious at current levels or optimistic, and why?
A) Well, we’re seeing markets at an all-time high for a number of times probably in the last two decades that I've been witnessing as a professional. And, at all periods of time, you tend to be a little cautious, and at the same time, you need to be a little selective as well.
I think that as you continue to invest in equities, there is always a return to be made from it. Yes, one should be cautious, but at the same time, investors need to be extremely selective of what they buy.
When we say selective – we mean that one needs to find businesses that will remain solid, have longevity, and companies that could hopefully migrate to the top of the industry.
I think in a market like that this is what we need to look for. Corrections will happen, but, I think that is part and parcel of investing.
Q) With economic and earnings recovery sometime away – FIIs have turned net buyers again. In fact, money is pouring from FIIs, DIIs as well as new age investors. What is fuelling FIIs optimism?
A) Excellent. The economic recovery and earnings recovery is a year away. But, even if we look at a year, which was a complete washout, and India lost almost five months because of the pandemic in terms of economic activity -- the numbers as far as earnings were concerned were not terrible.
When we go through the income statements or the profit and loss accounts, we have seen that some of them (companies) continue to curb expenditure levels.
Companies who have been able to adapt to the environment, and still show up flattish profitability after losing a significant amount of time not having any economic activity, show the resilience of the underlying businesses that they are in.
So, fast forward it’s not 2023, 2022 will be an okay sure, but fast forward is through 2023 -- I think that will be the first full year of economic recovery.
The sense that we get on the ground is that corporate India will be completely ready for that both in terms of scaling up production as costs are low, and profitability metrics will surprise a lot of investors.
Q) Sectors that are likely to drive the next leg of the rally on D-Street?
A) If I take a world view, the world is opening up a little faster than the rest of India, and the economic activity has resumed.
A lot of Indian corporates are plugging the gap and fill in the supply chains that are there internationally. I think that this is a much larger and scalable market and Indian companies have got the cost to their advantage.
Two, it's an opportunity that exists because inflation across the world has made some countries reasonably uncompetitive in the larger scheme of things. There is an opportunity for India and that is the part of the market that we actually favor.
For the domestic economy, I'll be a little more cautious because the last decade has been driven by personal balance sheets, or it's been largely a consumer or a consumption-based decade.
Their income levels or income growth don't appear to be too robust. So, the growth that we've seen over the last decade will tend to taper down.
We favor export-facing businesses, companies that have the cost advantage in their favor, and two we are a little averse to buy too many domestic consumer-facing businesses.
Q) Small & midcaps continue to dominate the price action on D-Street. What is your view on the broader market space for the next year or two? Do you think the time of easy money-making is over and investors should be selective in this space?
A) I mean, money is never made easily. Because, if you have made money easily, it will go as easily also. You have to be a little careful, like I said, for the first question.
You have to be a little selective in what you and how you approach investing right now. If we look back in the last two years, 2018-2019, and some part of 2020, the mid-caps and the small caps did nothing, if at all, they were down 30% to 40%.
You’re just seeing a valuation recovery in some of them or in a lot of them. There is excesses built up in some part of the marketplace.
For a large part of the breadth of the market, you’ll just have a valuation bounce that's coming through. And from our portfolio perspective, I am seeing this valuation bounce back coming through.
My view is that if you're selective enough, then there is no problem with the mid-caps and small caps in this environment.
If at all there is a change over the last two years, the stress on these companies’ balance sheets and their profitability is much better than it was about two years back.

Nifty on monthly timeframe has been forming a higher high higher low pattern, indicating that the trend of the benchmark index from a long-term perspective remains strongly bullish.
Coming down to the weekly chart, we can see that the index has been holding the 20-week simple moving average (SMA) since June 2020 and has been finding support near it in every correction.
On the option open interest front (June 24, 2021 expiry), strong participation is seen at 16,000 Call options.
On the Put side, the highest open interest is seen at 15,500 strike. Thus, we can expect the broader range of the index to be 16,000-15,500.
On the indicator front, the stochastic plotted on the weekly and the daily timeframes can be seen forming a bearish crossover near the overbought level, indicating the bulls might be losing their hold on the trend.
A breach below 15,700 confirms the evening star pattern, and we might see the index fall to 15,538 (20-day SMA and also placed close to the previous week low).
If this level is breached we might see prices move lower towards 15,150 (multiple touchpoint level).
Nifty on June 16 opened marginally lower and remained under pressure. The previous day's Doji at the top indicated towards an evening star kind of a pattern and yesterday’s selloff has given the first indication of the probable short-term top.
Market participants took money off the table ahead of the Fed meet outcome.
Nifty's 50-day exponential moving average and 20-day exponential moving average have strong positive slops and the difference between them is also expanding. So, in the coming days, major supports will be seen near 15,535-15,190. On the higher side, 15,900-15,950 will act as resistance.
Amidst the extended lockdown due to the second wave of COVID-19, Indian professionals are still working from home. There is also a 'Zoom' fatigue that refers to exhaustion over long video conferences and virtual calls. But does this extend to online learning as well?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Apurva Sheth, Executive Director and Head of Corporate business, Imarticus Learning to find out. Listen in for more
Nifty surged to its all-time highs once again and continued its winning streak for the fourth consecutive session on June 15 as bulls took the charge firmly, tracking optimism in global markets despite rising inflation concerns.
Nifty ended at 15,869 as FMCG counter boosted sentiment. From the banking space, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank also contributed to gains in Bank Nifty.
On the derivative front, Call writers hold maximum open interest at 16,000 strike which should act as a major hurdle and a key psychological level for the Nifty in the upcoming sessions.
On the downside, 15,800 would be major support as Put writers were seen adding hefty open interest there.
On the technical front, Bank Nifty looks promising from hereon along with FMCG counters.
Bank Nifty has an immediate hurdle at 35,500 above which follow-up buying can be seen which could move the index towards 36,000 as well.
Nifty managed to hold above the previous swing low of 15,566. It closed at its new all-time high on June 14.
Bank Nifty ended the session with a bullish hammer candlestick pattern on the daily chart. It found support on the upward sloping trendline, adjoining the daily lows of April 22 and May 14, 2021.
Nifty Midcap and small-cap indices also managed to hold above important support levels.
As far as Nifty's upside is concerned, it may reach the target of 16,000-16,200 in a short span of time. The support would continue to be at 15,566 on a closing basis. Bank Nifty should be held long with a stop loss of 34,374. Upside targets for Bank Nifty are seen at 35,810 and 36,500.
Bank, auto and realty indices, which have not contributed to the recent strength of the Nifty, are expected to see sharp short-covering in the coming days.
The sectors which have been outperforming and still can do well are power, PSU and capital good space.
From the mid-cap segment, auto ancillary, metal and IT stocks should be kept on the radar for short to medium-term gains.
Though bulls are completely dominating the current market trend, we should not get carried away, as more than 94 percent of the NSE500 stocks have now reached above their 200-day moving average and if we were to go by the historical bull market rallies, this number suggests extreme and mean-reverting breadth from the overbought zone.
Nifty Smallcap index has surged two-fold from the March 2020 bottom. So from here, stock selection should be done very carefully and fresh trades should be taken with appropriate risk management strategies.
Stop-loss in trading positions should be kept on a trailing basis.
Nifty gained 0.82 percent last week which was mainly led by handsome gains of 4.52 percent in Nifty IT. The Nifty Midcap 50 index, too, added another 2.57 percent to its kitty. However, the banking index remained laggard by losing over half a percent.
If Nifty has to reach the milestone of 16,000 and or move beyond it, Bank Nifty needs to surpass the sturdy wall of 36,000. If it fails to do so then we may see some profit-booking this week.
The key support for Nifty is at 15,700 – 15,550, whereas 15,850 –15,900 are immediate resistances.
The Nifty Midcap 50 index has now reached a crucial juncture. On the daily chart, we can see it reaching the 100 percent price extension of the previous up move and on the weekly timeframe, we can see it coinciding around the 161 percent price extension of the first up move started after March 2020 lows.
We do not expect the multi-year bull run to end, but at least a short-term pause or profit-booking cannot be ruled out.
Hence, traders are advised to take some money off the table and avoid aggressive bets overnight. The stock-specific approach still can be continued but one has to be very fussy and should follow proper risk management from hereon.
In today’s episode of The Private Market Show, brought to you by Moneycontrol.com and LetsVenture.com, we have with us, founder turned Investor, Raghunandan G. Raghu.

Nifty ended 0.65 percent higher at 15,737.75 on June 10.
On the weekly timeframe, the index is maintaining its bullish formation of the higher top higher bottom which means the medium to longer-term uptrend is still intact but some correction may happen in the short term.
It remains above the long-term moving averages of 50, 100 and 200-day SMA. Momentum indicator RSI plotted on the daily timeframe can be seen turning down from the overbought zone which indicates bullish momentum has lost and we may see some profit-booking in the market in the short term.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short term are 15,374 and 15,145.
On the upside, key resistance levels are 15,800. If the index sustains above this level, we might see the index head higher towards 15,986 and 16,687.
We believe that the long-term bullish trend is intact but in the short to medium term, we might see some profit booking in the index.
If the Nifty goes below 15,500 we can see some correction till 15,374 – 15,145 levels.
Nifty on June 9 opened marginally higher and registered its lifetime high of 15,800 after witnessing consolidation in the initial trading hours.
A sudden spell of selling emerged in the second half of the trading session and prices failed to sustain their higher high higher bottom formation on the intraday chart and the index closed below 15,650.
Nifty has given a decisive breakdown of a rising wedge pattern on the daily chart and prices have closed below their trendline resistance.
After the breakout of a falling channel pattern on May 21, from 15,100 to the all-time high of 15,800, Nifty has neither witnessed any throwback nor a profit-booking for the last twelve trading sessions.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has witnessed a fall from 70 level which is an overbought zone and closed below this level with a bearish crossover.
The 21-day exponential moving average is placed above the upper band of the channel pattern and acting as a crucial support zone near 15,355.
Support for Nifty is placed near 15,400–15,350 levels while resistance is near 15,800.
Bank Nifty, on the daily chart, is trading within the rising wedge pattern and closed above its 21-day exponential moving average.
India VIX closed three percent lower at 14.75 and it has also broken its ten-month-long rectangle pattern on the daily chart.
The volatility index is trading lower which indicates that any short-term correction in the market can be utilised as a fresh buying opportunity.
Online learning platform Coursera has launched the 2021 Coursera Global Skills Report (GSR). Every year, Coursera’s Global Skills Index (GSI) gives an in-depth look at the state of skills and gives details about where countries stand, what skills they are good at and where do they lag behind. So, what does the data show this year?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO, Coursera to find out the trends. Listen in for more.
Nifty started the week on a positive note after three consecutive weeks of gains to hit fresh record highs.
However, the market witnessed thin movement and was seen trading in a consolidation mode as traders shifted to stock-specific moves.
Derivative data suggests that the market is likely to follow consolidation mode in the upcoming sessions as well as both call writers and put writers are adding hefty open interest on both sides.
We expect Nifty to take a breather at the current juncture after a stunner rally and it may consolidate in a broader range of 15,600-15,900.
Traders should expect stock-specific action in the upcoming sessions rather than any sharp upside in the index. However, the bias is likely to remain in the favour of bulls and buy on dips strategy is advised.
After a pause last Friday, Nifty resumed its upward journey on Monday where it gained 81 points to close at a new all-time high level of 15,752.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the uptrend to continue.
Also, plus DMI is placed above the minus DMI while the ADX is placed above 25 level with slopping upwards, indicating Nifty could continue its upward journey in the near term.
Nifty continues to form bullish higher top higher bottom formation on the weekly and monthly chart. The 14-month RSI is at 73 level and is not extremely overbought, which suggests scope for more upsides in the coming weeks.
In the Options segment, we have seen Put writing at 15,400-15,500 levels. During the recent correction, Nifty made a swing low of 15,460 while previous resistance of 15,432 will now interchange its role as a support.
Therefore, there are multiple pieces of evidence that suggest strong support in the range of 15,400-15,500 levels. We believe that the short-term trend will remain intact as long as Nifty is trading above the support level of 15,400.
A short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the Nifty closes below 15,400.
Immediate targets for the Nifty have seen around 16,000-16,100 levels, derived from the channel breakout on the weekly chart.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices outperformed on Monday by gaining 1.2 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. This calendar year so far, they have outperformed by rising by 29 percent and 36 percent, respectively, against a 13 percent rise in the Nifty.
We believe that there is still more upside left for mid and small-cap stocks.
Investor interest in passively-managed funds has been rising. Investors can make their passive investments through index funds, as well as exchange traded funds (ETFs).
While both these types of funds can be used for passive investing, there are quite a few differences between the two that investors should be aware about.
For example, in an ETF you can end up investing at a premium to the index’s actual price, as the ETF may not be able to closely track price of the index throughout the day. In the index fund, you can only invest at end of the day NAVs, as these are not traded on the exchanges.
In this podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani talks to Kirtan Shah, co-founder and CEO of SRE Wealth, to find out the various differences between index funds and ETFs and how these can impact the investors.
The kind of price action we have been witnessing for the last few days, the commentary would sound a bit repetitive because there is nothing different to talk about.
As we have been mentioning, every 100 points upside should be treated as immediate resistance and now this level comes at 15,800.
Considering the Fibonacci ratios, we do not see any major hurdle before 16,000 and hence, even if this has to be met in the near term, the move would continue to be slow and steady in nature.
One key factor is the significant drop in India VIX which is back to the pre-COVID levels which bode well for the bulls.
The levels of 15,600–15,525–15,450 are the key support levels. Only a handful of index heavyweights are giving some notable moves while the real action still continues in the broader end of the market.
Stocks from the cash segment are roaring so it is advised to stick to this approach.
We reiterate when the market moves in such a manner, it’s better not to get complacent and one should take one step at a time.
It would be a prudent strategy to avoid aggressive leveraged bets, especially overnight, because any in-between hiccup may spoil your short-term trading journey.

Aashish Somaiyaa, CEO – White Oak Capital, said that he is cautious on markets right now, and a little surprised with the enthusiasm and the sustained rise in the markets.
Somaiyaa has over 20 years of experience in business strategy and management, process-driven sales and distribution, product development, and marketing of investment offerings.

The Nifty has been managing to test lifetime highs since the previous week.
On the options open interest front, (June 10, 2021 expiry), the highest open interest is seen at 16,100 Call options.
On the Put side, the highest participation is seen at 15,500 and 15,400 contracts. Thus, we can expect the broader range of the index to be 16,100-15,400.
On the indicator front, MACD plotted on the daily timeframe can be seen above the zero line, moving higher.
The distance between the two moving averages can be seen increasing, indicating rising bullish momentum in the trend.
Going ahead, 15,660 (June 1 high) will act as a key resistance level. If the prices break above it, we may see the index move higher towards 15,725 (127 percent extension level of the rise from 14,151-15,044 projected from 14,151) beyond which the gates for 15,986 (100 percent extension level of the rise 13,596-15,431 projected from 14,151) open up.
On the downside, the 15,431 (previous swing) is the level to watch out for. If the index slips below it, we may it move lower towards 15,330 (March 12, 2021 high), followed by 15,140 (multiple touchpoint level).
Many of us want to invest in cryptocurrencies. But it is not that easy. Did you know that there are around 4,000 cryptocurrencies in the world? And the total market capitalisation of the global cryptocurrency market is $1.62 trillion. That’s how big the crypto market is. How should you decide which coins should you invest in?
In today’s Simply save podcast, Swapnil Pawar, Founder of ASQI Advisors takes us a little deeper into the world of cryptocurrency. How to choose which coins to buy and which ones to avoid? For starters, Pawar tells us that investing in cryptocurrencies is not that different from investing in shares of listed companies. Just like how you buy large-caps, mid-caps and small-caps, the same way you build yourself a portfolio of cryptocurrencies. Infact the technology has, over the years, has improved as newer coins come into the market, says Pawar. That is also why he segregates cryptocurrencies into first generation, second generation and third generation coins. Bitcoin, being the first ever cryptocurrency, gets classified as a first generation, according to Pawar. Matic Network, an Indian cryptocurrency platform where US billionaire Mark Cuban recently invested in, he says, is a typical third generation coin.
Read up on cryptocurrencies, first. Most of the cryptocurrencies, Pawar tells us, are built on advanced technology platforms. Some of these technology platforms, he explains, have the potential to be used in our daily lives, like banking and finance. Pawar says that if the underlying technology holds promise, the cryptocurrency is typically considered to be a solid investment. There are some coins such as Dogecoin, which was invented like a ‘joke’; no logic or an underlying technology, but mostly a meme. Avoid those coins, he says.
A regular investor in cryptocurrencies himself, Pawar also says that word ‘cryptocurrency’ is a misnomer. He says cryptos are not currencies since you cannot buy anything using these coins. Since these are mainly used as investments across the world, cryptocurrencies should ideally be called crypto asset or crypto investment.
Listen up, folks!
The number of Covid-19 cases in Bihar came down to 1,475 on Sunday from a whopping number of over 14,000 cases at the beginning of May. Bihar’s Health Minister, Mangal Pandey claims that Bihar has fared better than many other states in containing the Covid-19 cases. Almost 4900 people have died in Bihar due to Covid-19 and currently the state has over 28,000 active cases. Pandey said that Bihar’s recovery rate is 95% as compared to that of the national recovery rate of 91%. He believes that Bihar is effective in battling the pandemic due to the high number of tests being conducted. “We have conducted over 2.94 crore tests so far and are testing around 1.29 lakh people daily, which makes us the state with the third highest testing numbers,” he said. However, the number of RT-PCR tests in Bihar are far lower than rapid antigen tests, which Pandey attributed to lack of infrastructure in the state. “Around 90,000 rapid antigen tests are being conducted daily, while the number of RT-PCR tests is 35,000 across 20 labs in the state,” he said. A major concern being raised by experts is that poor infrastructure in rural areas might make it difficult to contain the cases. Pandey claims that the government is actively working at resolving the issue. “Bihar has 88 percent of the population living in villages and the rural areas contribute about 60 percent in total Covid-19 cases. The Bihar government is working with a holistic approach to address the issues related to Covid-19 in rural areas and urban areas as well,” Pandey said. While discussing the situation of health infrastructure, Pandey said that Bihar is equipped with 1,150 ventilators in government hospitals and 500 in private hospitals, but there’s a dearth of doctors in the state. 3,706 posts of specialist doctors and 2,632 posts of general medicine doctors are vacant in the state. “There are inadequate medical colleges in the country and this is resulting in vacant posts of doctors,” he said. Every year India produces around 48,400 MBBS graduates. Pandey said that the vacancies are for post graduate and specialist doctors and the government is making efforts to fill in the infrastructural gaps. “To address the infrastructure and other issues of the health sector in Bihar, the state government has increased its health budget to Rs. 13,200 crore for the year 2021-22 in comparison to Rs. 10,900 for 2020-21,” he said.
Nifty50 on June 2 started the day on a flat-to-negative note and registered its intraday low at 15,459.85.
Later, it underwent a recovery phase after the mid-session of the day and finally witnessed a smaller degree downward sloping trendline breakout in the intraday chart and closed above 15,550 near its prior day’s closing.
The benchmark index has also given a decisive breakout of a rising wedge pattern on the daily scale and currently, it has sustained above its upper band of the pattern.
As we can observe on the monthly chart, Nifty has not seen any serious correction since March 20, which indicates a strong bull market is on the cards.
India VIX closed one percent lower at 17.21 level. It continues to trade in lower high lower low formation and has sustained below 19 level.
VIX index settling below 20 level indicates a drop in the volatility which creates confidence among the traders.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) continues to move in the positive zone which is placed above 65 level with bullish crossover on the daily interval.
The 21-day exponential moving average is placed just near the lower band of the rising wedge pattern and acting as a crucial support zone near the 15,150 level.
The current trend suggests bull run in the market is most likely to continue as the index has given breakout in the broader timeframes.
Support for the Nifty is placed near 15,250 while resistance is pegged near 15,800.

Nifty ended almost flat on June 1 after hitting an all-time high as traders booked some profit in IT, pharma and metal counters.
On the derivatives front, Call writers were seen adding open interest at 15,600 and 15,700 strikes while Put writers hold the highest open interest concentration at 15,400 strike.
On the technical front, the higher highs and higher bottom formation on charts suggest the continuation of an uptrend in the coming sessions as well.
At the current juncture, we can expect stock-specific action rather than any sharp upside in the index.
The banking index may be on a volatile path from hereon as tug of war among bulls and bears can keep the markets shaky.
Nifty continued its winning streak for the seventh consecutive day on May 31 as it gained 147 points to close at yet another new high of 15,582.80.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the uptrend to continue.
Also, plus DMI is placed above the minus DMI and the ADX has crossed 20 level on the upside which suggests Nifty could continue its upward journey in the near term.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 15,300 level. During the last correction, Nifty found support at 8-day EMA, which is currently placed at 15,311, and bounced back.
This level coincides with the Put writing level of 15,300. Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact as long as Nifty is trading above 15,300.
A short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the Nifty closes below 15,300.
Immediate targets for the Nifty are seen around 16,000-16,100, derived from the channel breakout on the weekly chart.
Bank Nifty was the leader in the recent up move of the market and we expect the same trend to continue.
Private banks, PSU banks and NBFC space should be on the radar for getting higher returns in the coming days.
Bank Nifty is expected to move towards the next targets of 36,500 and 37,700.
Longs should be protected with 15,300 stop loss in Nifty and 34,500 in the Bank Nifty.
For the last couple of weeks, global uncertainty was not letting us move higher but the moment they started cooling off, our market took off and in the process, the Nifty managed to surpass the psychological sturdy wall of 15,000 with some authority.
Last week, although there was no major momentum seen in the index, the undertone was bullish and hence, slowly and steadily we marched towards record highs.
With Friday’s extended move, the Nifty went on to post a new high on an intraday as well as on a closing basis.
Until Thursday, banking and IT were the major contributors to the move. But the sleeping lion Reliance Industries finally seems to have awakened as it single-handedly led the market at a new high on the concluding day of the week.
As far as levels for Nifty are concerned, 15,600 is the immediate point above which there is no major level visible before yet another milestone of 16,000.
But it would be difficult to gauge whether the extended move from hereon would be similar (slow and steady) in nature or it would have some faster legs in between.
On the other hand, 15,300 – 15,150 – 15,000 are immediate supports.
Sectorally, one after other different themes are expected to play out well and it’s better to stick to a stock-specific approach because the low-hanging fruit is already gone and from hereon it would not be easy at all to do stock picking.
The banking sector has been a bit inconsistent of late but we still believe that this heavyweight space has a lot of potential and is likely to drive the market at higher levels.
Despite having highlighted a lot of positive factors, we would advise traders not to get complacent. Hence, it’s better not to get over leveraged and should follow strict stop losses for existing positions.
Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the weekly chart and has managed to sustain above the 15,200 mark after two months which shows a strong bullish undertone of the market for the medium to long-term.
A couple of days back, the Nifty formed change in polarity structure near 14,900 – 14,800 range on the daily timeframe and bounced back sharply after bottoming out near these levels which indicates this range will
act as a crucial support zone in the future.
The index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages. The RSI plotted on the medium and long-term timeframe can be seen rising indicating the medium and long-term trend of the index remains bullish.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 15,135 (previous swing high) and 14,884 (5-day low).
On the upside, the key resistance level is 15,431 (all-time high). If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards 15,910 (78.6 percent extension level of the rise from 13,596-15,431 projected from 14,467) and eventually 16,303 (100 percent extension level of the rise from 13,596-15,431 projected from 14,467).
Nifty on the daily chart has witnessed a breakout of a downward falling channel pattern which was placed near 15,100.
Within the channel, the index had formed a rising wedge pattern, and currently, prices have halted near the upper band of the wedge pattern.
Nifty on the daily chart is trading above its 21 and 50-day exponential moving averages which are placed near the lower band of the wedge pattern acting as a crucial support zone for the index.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has witnessed a horizontal trendline breakout on the daily chart which is placed near 60 level, which indicates positive momentum is likely to sustain.
Bank Nifty finally breaks its consolidation range in which it had been trading for the last three weeks and on the weekly chart, it has witnessed a breakout of the downward sloping trendline and managed to close above the 50 percent retracement from its previous intermediate low.
We expect Nifty to trade higher as it sustains above its trendline support on the daily timeframe. Support for the index is placed at 15,050 while resistance rests near 15,430 which is an all-time high level.
The break of this level will open the gate for 15,550 as the index has broken its bearish setup created on the weekly chart.
Amidst confusion over the COVID-19 second wave in India, uncertainty exists on the vaccination status for young students eyeing a degree abroad. While borders are shut across countries, students are being given exemption.
Vaccination drives are also being organised for international students. So, does it make sense to postpone your study-abroad plans for 2021? In today's episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Akshay Chaturvedi, founder & CEO, Leverage Edu to find out more details. Listen in for more.
Indian market might have hit $3 trillion with respect to market cap and is on the verge of hitting record highs, but Nikhil Kamath, one of India's youngest self-made billionaires remains cautious and remain 60% hedged in his fund, he told us in a D-Street Talk podcast.
Kamath who is also a Co-founder and CIO, True Beacon and Zerodha said that we are not adding significant long positions at this point in time, and are ensuring that we have sufficient hedges at play each time we add a longer build on our Long's.
Edited excerpts:-
Q) We are on the verge of crossing previous record highs, and the star performers are mid & smallcaps which touched record highs. BSE Mcap touched $ 3 trn mark. Does the euphoria make you cautious or bullish at current levels?
A) We continue to remain cautious. As a fund, we have in fact increased our hedging component from 50% to 60%. There is a lot of pain on the ground, and stock prices have not been reflecting the actual pain for a long time.
We have continued to remain hedged. But, we continue with our conviction of prices being expensive, and we will retain hedges of 50% to 60% in the foreseeable future as well.
Q) What is the kind of COVID impact you have seen on the AIF industry?
A) Last month was bad. April, March was very slow, but May seems to be a lot better for us. Investors are not keen on investing at this point in time.
Investors are coming in May, but they didn't come in April as well as March. But, if you were to look at the market activity and how the rally has continued, people are bullish.
I think they're (investors) are looking beyond the pandemic. They are considering a scenario where we are Corona-free.
And, if we were to mimic the West in a certain way, where they're seeing increased consumption after opening up, investors could be playing that theme.
Q) Tell us more about First Operational Hedge Fund for Strategic Global Investors in India.
A) It went live about a fortnight ago now. True Beacon Global, it's a fund based out of GIFT City in Gujarat. It has favorable taxation and is very attractive for foreign investors looking to invest in India.
It removes the middlemen in many ways such as countries that are generally sitting in between like Singapore or Mauritius or Luxembourg.
Traditionally, foreign investors picked to come into the country through these feeder vehicles, which were these countries. But, now the government has done away with the inefficiencies around them coming in directly.
Going forward, they should bring a lot more foreign institutional money into India, and directly.
Q) Any ballpark number that you have in mind?
A) In our fund, we're expecting say Rs 1,000 crores to start off within the next 6 to 12 months. But, as an industry, we are the first fund to be operational in GIFT City.
Slowly more people will come in there and replicate and start their own funds. So, as a jurisdiction, I think it will bring many billions of dollars into the public equity ecosystem in India.
Q) Re-opening of economies in western countries are lifting hopes of global economic recovery. In India as well, fall in cases has also lifted sentiment of gradual opening up of states. How should one play the unlock trade?
A) If you were to follow patterns globally, hotels are doing very well, travel is doing well, restaurants are doing well. Consumer spending is doing well.
I would expect a lot of the same to be mimicked in India. So, buying domestic businesses which are in these sectors could be a good idea.
Consumer spending which has artificially stayed low because of the pandemic and stores being shut -- I think there will be a significant spike.
So, you could think of anything from a PVR because people will want to go to the movies more. In the restaurant chain, people might go back and favor auto companies and buy a lot of automobiles. So, all of these sectors I think can be played in a post-pandemic trade.
Q) What is your investment mantra during turbulent times like these? What is the secret formulae which you use while picking stocks even when there is uncertainty?
A) Well, we continue to hold a capital preservation outlook. We are focused on the fact that even today, even with the pain on the ground markets are frothy at 40 times multiples.
We are not adding significant long positions at this point in time. We are ensuring that we have sufficient hedges at play each time we add a longer build on our Long's.
And, I guess for us as a fund where capital preservation is the most important criteria we will continue to invest in that manner.

The Indian market took a pause on May 25 after witnessing a stunner rally in the week gone by.
Nifty managed to close above 15,200 while Bank Nifty retained 34,600.
On the derivatives front, a tug of war was seen among bulls and bears at 15,200 strike as both call and put writers remained active there.
On the technical front, the market can be seen trading in a rising channel with the formation of higher bottoms.
In the upcoming sessions, the bias is likely to remain in favour of bulls and we expect the market to rally towards its all-time highs.
On the downside, immediate support is placed at 15,000-14,900 while 15,300 would be the next immediate hurdle
Everybody wants a pie of cryptocurrency. But among the 100 odd such currencies in the market, which one should you invest in? And how much money to invest in cryptocurrencies? These are some of the most frequency questions that Rishabh Parakh, a chartered accountant and founder of NRP Capitals (formerly known as Money Plant Consultancy) gets from his clients these days.
In today’s podcast of Simply Save, Moneycontrol’s personal finance podcast, Parakh takes us through the basics of cryptocurrency and investments. Parakh says that since cryptocurrencies are new and evolving creatures on the investment street, you should not invest in them without trying to understand them. For instance, why is Bitcoin so volatile? From its price of $63,224 per Bitcoin on April 16, its price fell to $50,734 on April 25. On May 10, it rose to $58,102 but by May 23 it fell to $37,491. One of the main reasons why Parakh says that Bitcoin- or any cryptocurrency- is so volatile is that the crypto markets are open 24/7. And throughout the year. Plus it is a global market. That’s how long in a year Bitcoin- or any cryptocurrency for that matter- is traded. The extent to which cryptocurrencies are traded itself makes its price movements fluctuate wildly.
Should everyone invest in cryptocurrencies? No, says Parakh. He urges potential investors to first read up, on not just cryptocurrencies, but what it aims to solve and the technology it aims to use. Invest not more than two to five percent of your overall portfolio. And invest, he adds, only that amount that you do not mind losing out, entirely. One big risk that all cryptocurrency investors in India face, is in which way the regulations may go in future. As of now, the fate of cryptocurrencies is uncertain and they are not considered illegal, though the central government has held reservations. But if they are banned or termed illegal, and investors are forced to sell them overnight, it helps if your exposure to them is limited.
Listen up, folks!
After last week's sharp up move, Nifty consolidated in a narrow range on May 24 to end the day with minor gains.
Last week, Nifty had broken out from the downward sloping channel on the weekly chart. The index had been trading in a consolidation zone for the last 3 months and the range had been 14,150-15,000. This range is now taken out on a closing basis and the market is all set to extend the gains.
Nifty has been forming higher tops and higher bottoms on daily charts. Daily RSI has also been registering higher tops and higher bottoms which confirms the bullish trend.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 14,900-15,000 levels. This support level also coincides with the 20 day EMA which is currently placed at 14,860. Therefore, we believe that the bullish trend will remain intact till the Nifty is trading above 14,900 levels.
Bank Nifty was the leader in the recent up move of the market and we expect the same trend to continue.
Private Banks, PSU Banks and NBFC space should be on the radar for getting higher returns in the coming days.
Bank Nifty is expected to move towards the next targets of 34,918 and 35,985.
Nifty has surpassed the crucial resistance of 15,000. The market could see momentum buying in a short span of time.
Next upside targets of Nifty are seen at 15,432 and 16,000. Longs should be protected with 14,900 stop loss in Nifty and 34,000 in the Bank Nifty.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices have outperformed Nifty in this calendar year so far. We expect their outperformance to continue for the coming weeks also.
We always say ‘all’s well that ends well and this week’s price action is the perfect example of it. In the first four sessions, bulls and bears had an equal share but Friday became the real decider.
The real catalyst behind this optimism was the cooling off in the global bourses as well as various asset classes. Since our markets had the inherent strength, this development provided the impetus for the move towards 15,200.
Now, the way things are placed, retesting the record high of 15,431.75 looks eminent. Before this, 15,220 – 15,340 are the levels to watch out for.
On the flip side, it is important to note that the immediate base has shifted higher towards 15,000 – 14,900, which is an encouraging sign.
Looking at the broad-based participation on Friday, especially from the banking space, we will not be surprised if market heads towards a record high in the first half of the forthcoming week.
In fact, if all the other factors support, we may see new highs also in the coming sessions. However, having said that we should not become too complacent and keep a close track of how global markets behave over the next few days.
Any aberration on this aspect may again dent the possibility of a short-term rally. It is better to take one step at a time and continue with a stock-specific approach by following proper risk management.
Post a very strong start of the week the frontline indices have been taking a breather for past two days, while the Nifty has given up around 1 percent of the gains which were registered during the first two days of the week, it still remains above the key support zone of 14,800-14,850.
With the strong breakout given above 14,950 at the start of the week, the bulls seemed to have regained the strength after a multi-week consolidation, however the throwback given on Wednesday and Friday amidst global volatility, the rally has once again started to look fragile, at least as long as 15,100 is not taken out once again.
Going ahead we would like to keep the view on the positive side till the time Nifty is holding above 14,800 levels and looking forward for the benchmark index to surpass 15,100 in the next week, above which a move towards 15,350-15,400 can also be expected.
Having said there is still a lot of fireworks going on in small and mid-cap stocks from cement, auto ancillary, fertilizers and capital goods space, where the Bull Run is very much intact and providing lot of opportunities for market participants.
Online learning is the way of life across the world amidst extended lockdowns and added restrictions due to COVID-19. Digital coaching is slowly becoming a preferred option for teachers to disseminate knowledge to a wider audience. But what does it take to become a successful digital coach?
In today's episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Siddharth Rajsekar, founder of the Internet Lifestyle Hub to find out tips and skills needed. Listen in for more.
The economy is going through a difficult phase as business activity remains impacted by ongoing lockdown seen in different parts of the country, but the silver lining is that it is not as severe as was seen last year during the first phase of COVID-19, Harshad Patwardhan, CIO - Equities, Edelweiss AMC said in a D-Street Talk podcast.
Investors who are looking to create wealth over the long term can look at investing in the small & midcap space for a time horizon of 3-5 years, he said.
A recent report from Edelweiss AMC released earlier in May highlighted that Mid & Smallcap stocks have outperformed large caps in 12 out of the last 20 years.
**Here are 5 compelling reasons –
Growth likely to be broad-based:**
Economic activity has bottomed out and recovery has surprised positively. The government actively encouraging revival with an unrelenting focus (PLI schemes). Benign monetary conditions are likely to continue which are good for small & midcaps.
FPI flows are robust, domestic flows could turn:
The report from Edelweiss AMC highlighted that it is a myth that FPIs don’t buy into midcaps. In the NSE Midcap 100 index, FII Holding is 17.5% which will only rise in the near future.
Historical experience suggests good odds of outperformance
After big mid/small-cap underperformance over ‘18 & ‘19, good chance of a reversal- already underway. If someone is looking to invest in a broader market space now then the ideal investment horizon is 3-5 years, where odds are very attractive. The front ending of returns on the way up.
Government’s structural reforms:
Agri laws are likely to boost agro-industry over the medium/long term, and Labor laws will improve the ease of doing business for small-sized businesses.
Manufacturing & Infra push:
Atmanirbhar initiative to benefit a host of smaller sectors. Incentivizing investments through tax cuts & PLI is positive for space.
Roads/Railways/Ports/Urban infra/Housing are a big benefit for downstream players.

Indian markets witnessed follow up buying in Tuesday's session as Nifty indices managed to surpass above key resistance levels of 15,100. The rally was supported by banking, auto and metal counters.
From derivative front, Call writers were seen covering their short positions at 15,000 & 15,100 strikes while Put writers are shifting at higher bands which point towards strength in current trend. From technical front as well, Nifty can be seen trading in a rising channel with formation of higher bottom pattern.
In Tuesday's session, the index has given a fresh breakout above 15,100 levels after prolong consolidation. On short term charts, the breakout above ascending triangle pattern can also be observed which again points towards next upswing into the prices.
For upcoming sessions, the bias is likely to remain in favour of bulls and on downside, the immediate support is placed at 14,950-14,850 levels while 15,200 would be next hurdle.
COVID-specific Corona Kavach and Corona Rakshak policies have attracted a lot of attention of late, with some policyholders complaining about insurers’ reluctance to facilitate renewals.
These policies were designed as short-term plans, with a maximum tenure of 9.5 months, or up to March 31, 2021. However, in March 2021, insurance regulator permitted insurers to renew these policies up to September 30, 2021, to ensure that the protection continues through the second wave of the pandemic too.
Yet, renewing these policies has not been easy for many. Now, the insurance regulator has stepped in to reiterate that selling and renewing Corona Kavach was mandatory. So, what steps can you take if your renewal is stalled?
Preeti Kulkarni speaks to Mahavir Chopra, Founder, Beshak.org, a consumer research platform for insurance buyers for answers in this edition of Simply Save.
The weakness across the globe became the real spoilsport and did not let our markets go beyond the recent consolidation range.
But, we must also accept the fact that we have outperformed our global peers significantly as we did not fall to the tune of the global indices.
We still remain directionless and completely clueless about which way we are heading now.
It would be wise to mention few key levels and keep a close track of it in the first half of the forthcoming week. As far as support levels are concerned for the Nifty, 14540 followed by 14400 are to be seen as key levels.
A sustainable move below the lower range would certainly dent the possibility of some positivity in the short term.
On the flipside, 14750 – 14830 are to be seen as key hurdles. If we have to regain strength then Nifty needs to go beyond 14830 first.
Similar to the previous week, we witnessed ample of thematic moves playing out one after another. Only on Friday, there was no clear winner and in fact, the broader market saw some decent correction, which is not an encouraging sign.
We advise traders to keep a tab of all the above-mentioned levels and meanwhile continue with a stock-centric approach. It is advisable to stay light and avoid aggressive bets till the time global volatility subsides.
Last month, the capital market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said that a minimum of 20 percent of a fund manager’s salary shall be paid in the form of units of mutual fund schemes that they manage. Not just the fund managers’ salaries, all those who are classified as “key employees” of a fund house will also be covered. These include chief executive officer, chief investment officer, and other employees that the fund house identifies as key employees. It also includes entire research team that assist fund managers and the dealers who actually buy and sell stocks and bonds on fund managers’ behalf. Joining us in today’s Simply Save podcast is Kaustubh Belapurkar, director, fund research, Morningstar Investment Adviser India and Kaustubh will unpack this regulation and tell us its implication. And also will this help mutual fund investors in any way. In this podcast, Belapurkar shares with us trends from the international markets. He says that while there are four countries, US, China, UK and India that have made in mandatory for fund houses to disclose in which schemes their fund managers have invested, India is probably the first country where a part of their salaries will now be locked away in schemes managed by their own fund houses. SEBI says that this should be an annual ritual and the money invested must be locked away for three years. Belapurkar says that the regulation would most likely not influence the fund manager to manage his funds in any particular way. In other words, will the fund manager take lower risks now knowing that all the key employees would be investing in such a fund? “No”, says Belapurkar. He says, in this podcast, that a scheme’s risk profile should ideally not change just because the key employees now invest in the scheme.
The big question: Will fund managers and key employees in their own funds help investors in any way? Tune in to this episode of Simply Save to know more.

At a time when the ed-tech sector is booming with investments and big ticket mergers, he thinks that the real success of a startup is defined by the innovation it brings to the market.

The Coronavirus outbreak has made healthcare sector and allied skills as a priority. With the second wave of COVID-19 in India, there is a confusion about the medication to be consumed as well as do's and don'ts. It is not just doctors and nurses that can come to the rescue but also pharmacy professionals that are a must-have resource in the country. In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Dr Bala Prabhakar, Dean, Shobhaben Pratapbhai Patel School of Pharmacy & Technology Management, NMIMS about the rising need for pharmacy professionals amidst the pandemic.
The Nifty50 after showing strength over the past few sessions and was at a striking distance of 15000 on Monday, reacted to weak global cues on Tuesday and closed with losses of nearly 100 points.
The bulls turned active soon and defended the markets from slipping further, however, the selling was visible at higher levels above 14,900 where all the call writers were active just ahead of the weekly expiry on Thursday.
Looking at the technical and derivatives setup, we remain cautiously positive on markets for Wednesday. The current consolidation appears to be a 4th wave consolidation on a shorter time frame where 14,775 and 14,715 the immediate support levels for Nifty.
The said levels are the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci retracement levels from the lows of 14,463 made on the 4th of May and the high of 14,966 tested on the 10th of May.
We expect the Nifty50 to take support around these levels and continue to consolidate within a range of 14,750-14,950 for the next 2-3 trading sessions before resuming the uptrend and break above the 15000 mark once again.
The Nifty Bank has been lagging behind but 32,500 remains a strong support zone and we expect the index to move towards the 33200-33500 zone in the coming days.
Long additions are being witnessed in capital goods, oil & gas sectors; however, mid and small caps continue to outperform and witness strong buying.
There have been several new fund launches in the mutual fund industry in the recent months. Fund houses have launched sectoral funds, as well as theme-based funds.
Fund houses have been launching funds focusing on healthcare sector, as Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted importance of a strong healthcare sector.
More recently, couple of fund houses launched healthcare funds in the shape of exchange traded funds. These will be passively-managed schemes that will just mimic an index. So, there will not be any role for active fund management.
Should you invest in such funds or not, and if you must, how much of your investments should be put into such funds?
In this Simply Save podcast, Moneycontrol’s Jash Kriplani speaks with Amol Joshi, founder of Plan Rupee Investment Services, to find out more.
Nifty has been trading in the downward sloping channel since February 16, 2021. Trading in the channel indicates that the market is passing through the consolidation phase. During this phase, the trend remains choppy and directionless.
A lot of whipsaws with fake breakouts take place in the choppy phase. Mean reversion or fading (buy low and sell high) works out better in this kind of scenario.
So, it has been tough to trade large-cap stocks in the last couple of months and that trend still continues.
However, looking at the recent developments on the Nifty charts, it seems that the index is likely to break out from the consolidation soon.
A major reason has been the strong breadth in the market. A strong advance-decline ratio in the consolidating market indicates the chances of an upward trend sooner or later.
Indicators and oscillators like MACD, DMI and RSI have shown some early signs of a breakout in the index.
Daily MACD has reached above the equilibrium line. RSI has been positing higher bottoms and has also shifted its range upward. DMI indicator has turned bullish, as +DI has crossed –DI line on the upside
The formation of the higher bottom at 14,416 in Nifty could be an advanced signal of possible upcoming breakout.
In the last few weeks, every Monday has brought some unexpected moves at the opening, and in the week gone by, too, it surprised everyone with a decent gap-down opening.
A lot of domestic factors weighed heavily on the market to trigger the downside gap and global cues had very little to contribute in it.
Fortunately, the Nifty managed to hold the key support in the initial hiccup and in fact, a good amount of buying at lower levels led to a complete recovery in the latter half.
Barring Tuesday’s sluggishness, we witnessed a slow and steady up move throughout the remaining part of the week to reclaim the 14,800-mark.
On a weekly basis, the Nifty managed to clock over a percent gains in the inaugurated week of May month.
Since the last few days, the index seems to have lost its charm. Although it has been maintaining its positive posture throughout, the overall movement is quite lethargic.
All the key indices like Nifty, Bank Nifty, and Nifty IT are trapped in a slender range. As far as higher levels are concerned for Nifty, 14,900 – 14,960 – 15,050 are the levels to watch out for, whereas on the flip side, 14,750 – 14,600 – 14,450 are to be considered as immediate supports.
Till the time we do not see the index coming out of its congestion zone, such boredom is likely to continue. Thus, it is better not to trade aggressively in the index, and carrying of overnight positions is strictly avoided.
Taking a glance at the intraday charts, we can see the range shrinking drastically, and hence, there is a high possibility that we may see a decisive breakout soon.
Although key indices are displaying complete boredom, the broader market is clearly not short of actions. In fact, there were numerous themes that played out exceedingly well throughout the week.
Every now and then we are observing some sector chipping in to keep the traders’ fraternity engrossed all the time.
Hence, the pragmatic approach would be to keep focusing on such potential movers to obtain better trading opportunities. One of the notable observations is the development in the ‘Nifty Midcap’ index.
In the latter half of the week, it has managed to surpass the higher boundary of the cluster of resistance by a small margin. A couple of follow-up moves in this basket would provide the real impetus for the next leg of the rally.
Here is a list of stocks for the next 3-4 weeks:Overall, this stock has been quiet for a long time and in fact, we did not see its participation in the humongous rally that was seen in some of the financial counters lately.
However, the short-term trend has been strongly up for this counter. After a brief pause, we witnessed a decisive breakout from the ‘Bullish Flag’ pattern on May 7.
The volumes were decent and the momentum oscillators were also positively poised. Considering all this, we recommend going long for a target of Rs.440 in the coming days. The strict stop loss can be placed at Rs.412.
The pharma space once again started buzzing in the week gone by due to the havoc created by second wave of COVID-19. The move was mainly led by Lupin and then others joined the party. Glenmark was consolidating in a range since last few days.
However, with Friday’s up move, the stock price confirmed a ‘Bullish Flag’ pattern on the daily chart. The price move is accompanied by sizable volumes, indicating a strong buying interest in the counter.
Traders are advised to go long for a target of Rs.645 in the coming days. The strict stop loss can be placed at Rs 564.

The Nifty50 fell sharply on Monday morning amid weak Asian markets, large FIIs selling on Friday, and increased restrictions in many states spooked investors' sentiments.
However, from the intraday low, the Nifty50 recovered more than two hundred points to end the day with the gains of three points at 14,634 levels
The Nifty50 closed above its 50-day EMA which is placed at 14,630 levels. It has also found support near 61.8% retracement of the entire upswing seen from 14,151 to 15,044.
Therefore, we believe that even though the Nifty fell sharply on Friday and Monday morning, it has not violated important support levels on a closing basis.
In the derivative segment, we have seen Puts being written at 14400-14500 levels, and the derivative data also indicates that 14,400-14,500 levels are likely to act as strong support going forward.
We believe that the Nifty50 is near the strong support range of 14,400-14,600 level and any correction from hereon should be utilized to accumulate long positions with the stop loss of 14,400 levels.
On the higher side, the Nifty50 is likely to find immediate resistance at 14855 and 15044 levels. We continue to believe that sectors that are looking strongest on medium to long-term charts and are expected to outperform in the coming weeks are Chemical, Pharma, and Metals.
The Nifty Smallcap-100 has broken out on the daily chart on Monday to close at a 3-Year high. The Nifty Midcaps and Small-cap Indices have outperformed during the CY21 by rising by 16% and 22% respectively as against a 4.7% rise in the Nifty.
We expect their outperformance to continue for the coming weeks also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on Midcaps/Small caps rather than Benchmark Indices, which we have been saying for the last few weeks.
Here are three buy recommendations from the Midcap/Smallcap segment for the next 3-4 weeks:The stock price has already broken out from the downward slopping trendline adjoining the highs of 05-March 2021 and 08-April-2021.

The stock price has broken out on the daily chart with higher volumes where it closed at highest levels since June-2019. The short-term trend of the stock is positive where it is trading above its 5, 20, and 50-day EMA.

As the country remains grappled with second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of Punjab on Monday, imposed stricter curbs till May 15, to contain the rapidly surging cases.
Since the past week, Punjab is recording over 7,000 cases daily with the number reaching 7,327 on Sunday making it the highest single-day spike since the beginning of the pandemic.
Punjab Health Minister, Balbir Singh Sidhu in an interview with Moneycontrol.com said that the state has all the required resources apart from oxygen supply, Remedesvir and vaccines.
“We have the infrastructure, we have the workforce, but we’re facing shortage of oxygen supply, Remdesivir and vaccines which is the Centre’s responsibility,” he said.
Punjab CM Capt. Amrinder Gill has put off the vaccination drive for the age-group of 18-45 years, which was to begin on May 1, as the vaccine supply dwindled during surging cases. Sidhu said that an order of 30 lakh vaccine doses has already been placed to the Serum Institute of India (SII), but they haven’t supplied the doses yet.
“We have placed an order of 30 lakh vaccine doses to the Serum Institute of India (SII), but they will provide us the vaccine after May 15 as their priority is the Centre,” he said. “We have an infrastructure to vaccinate 3 lakh people per day, but the centre is inconsistent in allocating number of vaccine doses,” he added
To address the issue of scarcity of oxygen supply in Punjab, the oxygen from industries is being rerouted to Covid care centres.
“Supply of oxygen in industries has been limited and is being diverted for treatment of COVID-19 patients,” Sidhu said. “We’re also taking help from the military to contain rising covid cases,” he added.

After narrow range consolidation, bulls have managed to hold on with conviction. Since April 20, the Nifty has rallied more than four percent from its lower end of falling channel pattern on the daily chart.
After consolidating for more than eight days within the band of 50 and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMA), the price registered a decisive breakout that suggests a change in the trend from sideways to upward.
The Bank Nifty chart witnessed a falling channel pattern breakout on the daily and has sustained above its 21 & 50 DEMA.
On the upside, key resistance is at 15,100. If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher above 15,250 levels. The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 1,4550 followed by 14,400 levels.
Here is a list of stocks for the next three-four weeks:
On the daily chart, Escorts has completed ‘Bullish Butterfly Harmonic pattern. On the weekly chart, prices are trading above their 100-week exponential moving average, which is acting as near-term support for the counter.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has witnessed a sharp reversal from 25 levels, which are an oversold zone and currently near 35 levels with positive crossover on the daily time frame.
Based on the above technical studies, we can come out with a view that the price may move towards higher levels over a short period.
After a prolonged consolidation, JUBLFOOD has witnessed a Triangle pattern breakout on the daily time frame and is trading above its trend line support.
The stock is trading above its 21, 50 & 100-DEMA on the daily time frame, which is positive for prices in the near term.
There has been above-average volume set up for the past few days. Momentum oscillator RSI (14) has given a horizontal trend line breakout that was placed at 45 levels.
Currently, RSI is near 55 levels with a bullish crossover, which indicates that bullish momentum will likely continue in the near term.
Tata Coffee is trading in a rising channel pattern on the weekly chart and prices have witnessed a sharp reversal from the support of a lower band of a rising channel pattern.
In terms of the candlestick, the counter has formed a bullish engulfing pattern on the weekly chart and the price is trading above the higher end of the pattern.
The counter is trading above its 21 & 50 DEMA on the daily as well as the weekly time frame, which is positive for the prices in the near term.

Crash testing of vehicles is on top priority for car makers in India. With the implementation of Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program, all automotive manufacturers selling cars in India, need to make sure that their cars are being crash tested. This also has opened up new job opportunities in this area provided that the candidates are skilled. In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Surya P, Co-founder & CEO, Skill-Lync to find out details about the specialised course that the edtech firm has launched on 'Crashworthiness'. Listen in for more.
A strong positive move witnessed in Tuesday’s session after a small gap-up opening and the index closed the day at 14655 with gains of more than one percent and formed a bullish candle on the daily chart.
The index has shifted its base 14580-14500 zone if it manages to hold above the said level then we may see some more extension in the ongoing move towards 14750 zone, and above that, we may see a fresh breakout which can push the index towards 15,000 mark.
Here is a list of top stocks for the next 3-4 weeks:On an hourly chart, the price has moved above its strong hurdle zone of 195. We can also consider this as a sort of double bottom breakout.
Strong volume has been witnessed in the recent up move along with fresh breakout which hints that the stock is all set to move northwards in the near to short term.
The immediate hurdle on the higher side is placed around 207, and once we cross the above-said levels then a fresh breakout can be seen towards 230-250 odd levels.
The stock has shown a good bounce from its strong demand zone. The stock has formed a morning star candle pattern on the daily chart which stands for a strong bullish reversal.
On the immediate basis, 2900 will act as a stiff hurdle on the higher side, and once we cross above that we may see a strong move which can push prices towards 3100-3200 in the near to short term.
The stock has previously given a breakout from its cup and handles pattern and has recently stock moved after retesting the breakout zone.
Last three candle shows a strong bullish momentum with incremental volume activity which hints that we may see an extension in the current up move towards 160 on immediate basis and 175 on an overall basis.
The Nifty50 has been consolidating in a narrow range of 14296 to 14617 for the last 8 consecutive sessions. This is the fourth consecutive week of consolidation in the Nifty.
Markets have been directionless in the recent past. Indicators and oscillators have also been showing signs of consolidation till now.
However, looking at the short-term chart of BankNifty, it seems that banks could outperform in the days to come. BankNifty has confirmed the higher top and higher bottom formation on the daily chart, while Nifty is yet to form the same.
Oscillators also indicate the dominance of BankNifty over Nifty. BankNifty has surpassed the previous swing closing high of 32,112 on the daily chart.
The Nifty has formed a strong base around 14150, which would act as strong support going forward. The immediate resistance for the index is seen at 14800 odd levels, above which momentum would be back in the hand of bulls for Nifty.
The Nifty Smallcap index has been rising for the last 4 consecutive trading sessions and reached at the highest level since 9th April 2021.
Sectors that are looking strongest on short-term charts and are expected to outperform in the coming days are Banks, NBFC, PSU Bank, Infra, and Realty. These sectors could see a pullback rally in the days to come.
The Nifty has been trading in a downward sloping channel on the weekly chart. Any close above 14800 would result in a bullish breakout for the medium-term and in that case, Nifty could march towards new all-time highs.
A close below 14150 would result in a bearish breakout, which could drag the Nifty towards the level of 13600. Till this range gets broken out, stock and the sector-specific moves would remain in the market.
The recent moves in the Indian equity markets are just a reaction to domestic concerns. However, it seems that supply is getting absorbed at lower levels.
Recent consolidation has extended enough and the market is about to enter into the momentum phase. Looking at the technical evidence, the chances of an upside breakout seem higher than a downside breakdown.
Here is a list of recommendations for the next 3-4 weeks:
The stock price of Greenply has surpassed the crucial resistance of the previous top on the monthly chart, which was placed at 195 odd levels. Volumes have gone up significantly along with the price rise in the last 7 weeks.
The stock is placed above all the important moving averages, which indicates a bullish trend on all time frames. The stock price has been forming a higher top and higher bottom on the daily and weekly charts. The stock price has formed rounding bottom on the monthly charts. In the month of December 2020, the stock broke out from the long-term downward sloping trend line on the weekly and monthly charts. This breakout was supported by higher volumes too.
Post breakout, the stock went into the running correction phase for the next three months. In the current month, the stock has resumed its primary uptrend by hitting fresh 52-week highs. Indicators and oscillators have been showing strength in the current uptrend.
The stock price has recently broken out from the last 10 week’s price consolidation. On the week ended 23rd April 2021, the stock surged 6 percent with a jump in volumes.
The consumer electric sector has been outperforming for the last many months and the same is expected to continue. The stock has registered fresh all-time highs on 23rd April 2021.
The short-term moving averages are trading above medium to long-term moving averages, indicating a bullish trend in the stock.
Since we are battling with the mounting concerns over COVID-19 cases in our country, the market is showing a knee-jerk reaction to this.
In the initial trades of last week, the selling augmented to challenge the 14,200 mark. Fortunately, the market saw some buying interest at lower levels as we did not spend much time below this key support.
A similar sort of resilience was witnessed throughout the remaining part of the week.
The market is completely clueless about which way to move in the near term. At higher levels, we are facing some pressure as the battle continues with respect to the pandemic and on the lower side, bulls are not willing to give up.
Hence, it has become very difficult to take any kind of directional call on the market.
We have been quite cautious on the market and despite Nifty still holding on to a key support zone of 14,200 – 14,150, we continue to advocate caution till the time some important levels are not surpassed.
For Nifty, the immediate resistance zone can be seen around 14,575 – 14,650. A sustainable move beyond 14,650 would negate the possibility of further correction and resume the upward march.
On the other hand, all eyes will be on 14,200 – 14,150 and the more it gets challenged, the higher the possibility of breaching it. Below this, Nifty will open up the downside zone of 14,000 – 13,700.
The way the market is attracting buying interest at the support zone, we should have considered this as an accumulation.
But there are a couple of observations that are holding us back and they are:
(1) The banking index slipped below its rock-solid support of 32,400 and till the time it does not reclaim 32,500 – 33,000 convincingly, it is likely to be the major dragger.
(2) The overall positioning of the Nifty Midcap50 index is completely overlooked by the market participants in general.
Last week, we had highlighted the breakdown from head and shoulder pattern in this index and the weekly chart too confirmed a lower top lower bottom for the first time in this entire rally since last April.
All these factors do not bode well for the bulls and hence, till the time we do not see the negation of these unfavorable developments, one should continue to remain light on positions.
Here is one buy and one sell call for the next few days:
Aarti Industries | Buy | LTP: Rs 1,465 | Target price: Rs 1,495 | Stop loss: Rs 1,390
This stock seems to be in a different league altogether as it never gets affected by the outer world.
It has given a phenomenal run over the past seven years now with a whopping nearly 1,400 percent returns from sub Rs 100 level.
Since the market is not clear about its short-term direction, this can be the safe haven for all sorts of market participants.
On the daily chart, we can see a series of higher highs higher lows and on Friday, we witnessed good traction in the counter, suggesting the continuation of the upward movement.
Escorts | Sell | LTP: Rs 1,138.20 | Target price: Rs 1,070 | Stop loss: Rs 1,184
This has been one of the weakest counters within the auto space in the last couple of months.
We are witnessing a continuous drift in the stock prices after all in between brief pauses.
The selling momentum seems to have increased in the last few days as the stock prices started falling like a bottomless pit.
Since prices are trading convincingly below the sacrosanct support zone of 200-day SMA while the weekly chart is exhibiting a bearish head and shoulder pattern, we expect the downward move to extend further.
One can look to sell on any bounce towards Rs 1,060 for a target of Rs 1,070. The strict stop loss can be placed at Rs 1,184.

Selling pressure at higher levels once again dampened market sentiment as Nifty ended below 14,300 on April 20.
Although pharma and auto counters tried to give some support but selling pressure in financials, IT and FMCG counters dragged the market down.
On the derivatives front, Call writers were seen adding hefty open interest at 14,500, 14,600 and 14,700 strikes which should act as a major hurdle for Nifty and will cap any sharp upside.
On the technical front, 14,200-14,150 will act as major support for Nifty. However, we could witness a fresh round of selling in the index if the 14,150 level is broken decisively in the upcoming sessions.
Here are three buy calls for the next 2-3 weeks:
Info Edge (India) | LTP: Rs 4,772 | Target price: Rs 5,625 | Stop loss: Rs 4,280 | Upside: 18%
After testing a 52-week high of Rs 5,880 in January 2021, this stock slipped back sharply towards Rs 4,100 due to profit-booking at higher levels.
However, it took support at its 200-day exponential moving average on the daily interval and made a V-shaped recovery to once again reclaim Rs 4,700 level.
At the current juncture, the stock can be seen trading well above its short and long-term moving averages with the formation of higher highs.
Additionally, the stock has formed an inverted head and shoulder pattern on the daily charts and is on the verge of a fresh breakout above the neckline of the pattern formation.
The positive divergences on secondary oscillators along with price action suggest the next upswing in the prices.
Traders can accumulate the stock in the range of Rs 4,760-4,780 for the upside target of Rs 5,625.
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals | LTP: Rs 569 | Target price: Rs 652 | Stop loss: Rs 505 | Upside: 15%
Last week, this stock gave a fresh breakout after a prolonged consolidation of nearly eight months.
Prices had been seen a fluctuation in a broader range of Rs 445-545 since August 2020, sustaining well above their 200-day exponential moving average on the daily interval.
Now, prices are keeping well above their 200-day exponential moving average on the weekly charts as well which points towards the strength in the stock from a medium-term perspective.
On the technical front, follow-through buying has been observed in the stock after a breakout above the falling trendline of a sloping channel on short-term charts.
Traders can accumulate the stock in the range of Rs 560-570 for the upside target of Rs 652.
Lupin | LTP: Rs 1,088.70 | Target price: Rs 1,172 | Stop loss: Rs 1,020 | Upside: 8%
This stock has been consistently moving in a broader range of Rs 980-1,100 for the last three months.

Positive divergences on secondary oscillators suggest that the stock is all set for a next upswing at the prices as additional volumes with a rise in prices suggest long build-up in the stock.

Nifty fell sharply on April 19 as a record jump in COVID-19 cases and fresh restrictions in many states spooked investors.
Nifty ended the day with a loss of 258 points or 1.77 percent at 14,359. However, from the intraday low, it recovered 168 points.
Bank Nifty underperformed by plunging by 2.4 percent. However, from intraday low, it recovered more than 800 points.
All the sectoral indices closed in the red except Nifty Pharma which ended the day with a gain of about 0.2 percent.
Nifty is now placed below its 50 and 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) which is placed at 14,626 and 14,657 respectively, indicating a bearish trend for the short term.
The index is also trading below the support derived from the upward sloping trendline adjoining the bottoms of January 29, 2021, and March 25.
On April 12, Nifty opened the gap down and left the unfiled gap between 14,652 and 14,785. This gap is expected to remain resistance zone for the coming weeks. Unless this gap is filled entirely on a closing basis, the short-term trend of the market would remain bearish.
On the downside, Nifty is likely to find immediate support in the range of 14,100-14,190. In the worst-case scenario, Nifty could continue its downward journey towards the major swing low of 13,600 odd levels.
Sectors that are looking strongest on the medium to long term charts and are expected to outperform in the coming weeks are chemical, pharma and metals.
Earnings season has kicked in and there could be stock-specific movement ahead of the results.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices have outperformed during the calendar year 2021 so far by rising 12 percent and 14 percent, respectively, against a 2.7 percent rise in the Nifty.
We expect their outperformance to continue for the coming weeks also. Therefore, the focus of the traders should be on mid and small-caps rather than the benchmark indices.
Here are three buy recommendations from the midcap segment for the next 3-4 weeks:
Elecon Engineering Company | LTP: Rs 68.90 | Target price: Rs 80 | Stop loss: Rs 64 | Upside: 16%
After forming double bottom around Rs 62, this stock reversed northwards yesterday to close above its 5- and 20-day EMA.
Volumes were sharply higher yesterday as compared to the last 10-day average. The primary trend of the stock is positive where it is trading above its 100- and 200-day EMA.
The stock price is forming a bullish higher top higher bottom candlestick pattern on the daily and weekly charts.
Kopran | LTP: Rs 128.50 | Target price: Rs 145 | Stop loss: Rs 118 | Upside: 13%
This stock has broken out from the downward slopping trendline adjoining the highs of December 30, 2020, and February 19, 2021.
It also surpassed the crucial resistance of Rs 127 yesterday with higher volumes to close at the highest level since January 21, 2021.
Plus DI is placed above the minus DI while the ADX line is placed above 25, indicating momentum in the current uptrend.
We expect midcap pharma stocks to do well for the short to medium term.

The current COVID-led decline is a great opportunity to build portfolios in the midcaps and small caps, Gautam Shah, Founder & Chief Strategist, Goldilocks Premium Research said in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Investing for our children is always a financial goal for all parents. We want the best of education for them, perhaps save a bit for their marriage or set aside a small corpus to get them going when they grow up and enter the work life. The sooner, you start, the better it is for them. But where should you start? In this Simply Save podcast, Parul Maheshwari, a Mumbai-based certified financial planner joins us to explain how to use the mutual funds (MF) route to save money for your child. Broadly speaking, Maheshwari says that there are two ways: You can either invest in your child’s own name. Or you could invest in your own name, like you do for other investments in general but earmark the folios in your records that they are in your child’s name, to avoid confusion. But Maheshwari says it’s always best to invest in your child’s name (as the primary holder), so that these folios are easily recognisable. “In times of emergency, when you need funds, you might just end up selling those mutual fuds that you had set aside for your child. Besides record keeping to that extent is always cumbersome. If your investments are in your child’s name, you would just naturally be hesitant to touch them,” she says. Ensure you have a savings bank account in your child’s name. As per mutual fund guidelines, money can be invested in your child’s name, only if it comes from a bank account where you child is the primary holder. No joint holder or nominee will be allowed in a folio held by the minor. The guardian in the folio should be either parent (father or mother) or a court appointed legal guardian. You can start a systematic investment plan (SIP) in your child’s name. Maheshwari recommends open-ended diversified funds, instead of children-focussed MF schemes. Do listen to this special podcast and also what to do once your child turns 18.
India is seeing a second wave of COVID-19 outbreak with daily cases touching 1,84,000. Amidst this, state governments like Maharashtra have begun imposing lockdown-like restrictions where non-essential offices, manufacturing units will stay shut. How will this affect your employment? In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Aditya Narayan Mishra, CEO, CIEL HR Services to find out the impact of the COVID-19 case surge on jobs.
Speaking on the latest episode of “Moneycontrol Macro Minutes” podcast, Chief Economic Advisor Krishnamurthy Subramanian said that the government had been deliberately conservative in its forecasts for the current financial year. While not ruling out an economic intervention like last year should the need arise, Subramanian said any further measures announced would likely be on the fiscal support and capital expenditure side.
Nifty started the week on a bearish note with a fall of more than 3 percent in a single session on April 12.
This was the largest single-day fall since February 26, 2021. Bank Nifty underperformed by a huge margin by plunging 5 percent.
The levels of 14,900–15,000 continue to remain a sturdy wall for Nifty and until we surpass it, major heavyweights may not give any sustainable up-move.
On the lower side, 14,700 followed by 14,550 are immediate supports. The deciding factor in days to come has to be the financial space.
For the last couple of weeks, the banking index has been hovering around its strong support zone of 32,200 – 32,400 which is the breakout point of the Budget day as well as the 89-day exponential moving average.
It has managed to hold this till now and if any recovery has to take place, there will not be a better point than this.
But, if any bottom (short or long-term) is formed, bulls may not get many opportunities to make a comeback.
The more it challenges any particular support, the higher it creates the possibility of breaking it.
Hence, all eyes would be on this space as it is likely to dictate the near-term trend of the market.
In this episode of Moneycontrol Macro Minutes, RBL Bank’s Chief Economist Rajni Thakur talks to Arup Roychoudhury on India’s economic outlook for 2021-22 amidst a surge in Covid-19 cases.
Thakur says that the ‘second wave’ remains the biggest risk on the horizon for policymakers, and how it is dealt with will decide whether the projections made by the government and various agencies will hold true or not.
If you are a new-age investor who joined D-Street in 2020, Umesh Mehta of Samco Group has few ruled which one should consider while trading, he elaborated on them in the Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
The last year might have felt like a breeze as the only direction in which the market went was on the upside especially for someone who started trading in April. Well, things might not remain the same as the market goes through up and down cycles.
Legendary investor once said that “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked”.
This was one reason which led to the fall of Harshad Mehta, a registered broker, back in ’90s. Harshad Mehta used the loopholes in the Indian Banking system & Bombay Stock Exchange transaction system to rig prices of dubious companies and defrauded Rs 5,000 crore from financial markets.
A new Bollywood movie on Harshad Mehta with actor Abhishek Bachchan ‘The Big Bull’ is set to make its debut on April 8.
“Harshad Mehta was a Street smart guy who was bullish on the economy, but with greed taking control, he overleveraged largely borrowed from financial institutions which led to the fall,” explains Umesh.
Avoid over-leveraging is one key rule out 5 which investors should take note of while trading which could reduce your losses by 90%:
1) Overtrading/Leverage: The number 1 reason why traders across the globe are ruined is overtrading. Harshad Mehta is one example. Even large corporates have not been able to make up due to large amounts of debt in their balance sheet. Ideally, 1% of capital should be the loss he should bear, and for the seasoned player, it is 2%.
2) Don’t Mix Trading with Investment: Investors should avoid mixing trading with investments. If you lose in a trade it is better to book losses and move out rather than staying with the stock.
3) Black Swan Events: Yes, there will be events that might not be in our control, but as a trader, one should cover their open positions every day with a trailing exit or a stop loss.
4) Never average a loss: Investors should avoid averaging a loss. Averaging a loss is the biggest mistake.
5) Knee-jerk Reaction: There will be knee-jerk reactions to events such as news, earnings, etc. Sometimes the reactions are favourable while most of the time it might go the other way. It is best to avoid knee-jerk trading.

The Nifty50 on the weekly time frame charts has been in a consolidation mode for the past 4 weeks and has managed to hold above the 20-week SMA on a closing basis.
On the daily time frame, we can see the prices hovering around the 20-Day SMA. On the options open interest front (15th April 2021 expiry), huge participation and open interest addition is seen in the 15200 calls.
Systematic investment plan or SIPs have become very popular among mutual fund investors. Nearly Rs 6,000 – 8,000 crore worth of inflows come into mutual funds every months through SIPs, even since December 2017. Up until then, only about Rs 3,000-4,000 crore of money used to come. But despite being a popular facility, there are many facts about SIPs that many of us still don’t know. For instance, SIP is not a separate product. It is a facility that all MF schemes offer. It’s easy to start an SIP. Today, all mutual funds allow you to start an SIP with as little as Rs 1,000 a month. That’s all it takes to start an SIP; a facility that allows you to put money automatically, once a month. Infact some fund houses allow you to start an SIP with Rs 500 and even as little as Rs 100 a month. Still, there are many unanswered questions. In June 2020, Moneycontrol did a study with CRISIL Ltd on SIPs that spoke about the merits of investing in SIPs for the long run. But many investors come across hurdles in the interim. For instance- and especially during the Covid-19 pandemic- many investors lost their jobs or saw a fall in their income. In such times, it’s hard to continue with SIPs. Some investors cancelled their SIPs in the face of other priority expenses they just couldn’t get out of. But how many days does it take to cancel an SIP? It’s common knowledge that despite submitting an SIP cancellation request, the SIP doesn’t get cancelled immediately. In many cases, one installment still goes out of our bank account. And did you know that if you wish to withdraw from your fund, you don’t need to stop your SIPs? While your SIP continues, you can continue to withdraw from your scheme (from the accumulated corpus) as well as invest lumpsums as and when you wish. In today’s podcast, I am joined by Parul Maheshwari, a Mumbai-based certified financial planner. She will demystify SIP for us and bring us several unknown facets about SIP.
The Robinhood rush which was seen in FY21 is likely to go down in the next financial year but there is a big shift seen in the rule-based trading which is likely to gain popularity in the next 10 years, Kanika Agarrwal (Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer) at Upside AI said in the D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Over 10 million new Demat accounts were opened in FY21 and a similar trend was seen in the US. “As we move into FY21 and people start going back to their day jobs, participation of ‘Robinhood investors’ – a wonderful term which got coined for new-age investors, will go down. The trend is already visible in the US,” says Agarrwal.
The conversation which Upside AI had with the clients suggests they are looking for more sustainable solutions to manage the money. Like any MF, 1-2% is charged with the AUM as an advisory fee in terms of cost.
Agarrwal highlighted that the big shift in the trend is going to happen in the next 10 years as rule-based systems in trading, investments will become more popular.
“The trend is already visible in China as well as the US. The quant AUM in China rose to $100 bn doubled from 2019. In the US, we have value quant shops that are using quant-based models to do value investing. The AUM is roughly $100-200 bn,” explains Agarrwal.

From the last six trading sessions, Nifty has been locked in a small consolidation range which is between 14,600 and 14,900, respectively.
The index has been consolidating between the band of 21 and 50-day exponential moving averages on the daily interval.
Nifty opened with an upward gap and traded with high volatility throughout the session on April 6. However, the last hour pullback action pulled the index higher and recovered some of the earlier losses.
The index closed at 14,683.50 with a gain of 46 points (0.31 percent) while BSE Sensex gained 42 points (0.09 percent).
This signifies that 14,500-14,400 still remains an important support zone to watch out for.
Nifty has been broadly moving within 14,900-14,400, indicating sideways consolidation.
For the last couple of sessions, it has been sustaining below the 20-day moving average at 14,786 and 50-day moving average at 14,789, indicating weakness as well as lack of confidence in market participants.
The next higher levels to be watched are around 14,800-14,900. Any pullback towards 14,600-14,500 should be used as a buying opportunity.
The daily RSI has turned sideways and any move above the 50 mark can improve the bullish momentum.
Nifty fell sharply on April 5 as rising COVID-19 cases and increased restrictions spooked investors. The index ended the day with a loss of 230 points at 14,637.80.
However, from the intraday low, it recovered nearly 200 points and closed above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) which is placed at 14,634. It also closed above the weekly 10-period EMA which is placed at 14,631.
In the derivatives segment, we have seen Put writing at 14,400-14,500 and these levels will act as strong support going forward.
We believe that Nifty is in the strong support range of 14,400-14,600 and any correction from hereon should be utilised to accumulate long positions with the stop loss of 14,400.
On the higher side, Nifty is likely to find immediate resistance in the range of 14,700-14,750 where 5, 10 and 20-day exponential moving averages are placed. It could aim for 14,883-15,000 if it closes above 14,750.
Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices have outperformed during the first two days of April. We expect their outperformance to continue in the coming weeks also.
The focus of the traders should be on mid and small-caps rather than benchmark indices.
Last week, despite being a truncated one, was not at all short of action as we saw good traction in some of the individual pockets, especially on the last session.
The index is currently undergoing a time-wise correction and hence, it remained in a small trading band throughout last week.
As far as levels are concerned, 14,900, followed by 15,050 remain to be a sturdy wall, but the way charts are placed now, due to last Thursday’s late surge, the possibility of testing and even going beyond this cannot be ruled out.
The hourly chart exhibits the configuration of a bullish cup and handles pattern and any sustainable move beyond 14,900 would strengthen this structure to attract some buying interest in the heavyweight constituents as well.
This bullish structure will get negated if Nifty slides below 14,600 and hence, one should keep a close tab on how the market moves in the first half of this week. The levels of 14,800 and 14,670 are immediate supports.
In the week gone by, the financial stocks did not participate much in Tuesday’s up move but they proved their significance on the last day as it single-handedly propelled Nifty beyond 14,800 towards the fag end on the weekly expiry session.
This space plays a vital role if our benchmark has to move beyond the 15,000 mark.
Apart from this, metal stocks had a mesmerizing rally throughout the week as some of the steel counters soared as if there is no tomorrow.
The stocks from the cash segment did exceedingly well after a lull of nearly four weeks. It’s advisable to focus on such potential movers.
The future of trading is changing fast but the point is are investors also adapting to the change in the same way. Approximately 60% of the volumes on the NSE are generated via Co-Location, Algo services, as well as auto bots and the trend is only going to pick up, Vishal Mehta, CMT and founder of marketscanner.in on the sidelines of Traders Carnival 2021.
Emphasizing on the concept of Systematic Trading, Mehta highlighted that he has now moved from discretionary trading to systematic trading which is rule-based to avoid human bias.
The market is shifting the dimension from calling a broker to a more of automated systematic way of trading. To define ‘System’, Mehta explains that it should be an extension of you – the way you analyse, interpret info, etc.
“Markets are nothing but a systematic transfer of money from an undisciplined trader to a disciplined trader. Warren Buffett said impatient to patient investors. But, when it comes to trading it is all about taking money from an undisciplined trader to a disciplined trader,” explains Mehta.
“Investors should be disciplined in their approach and avoid jumping to new systems. Learning coding will also be a big help in tweaking the code, and don’t ignore risk management when trading,” he said.

Nifty witnessed a rising channel pattern breakdown on the daily chart. It seems to have completed its throwback and is now trading below its trendline resistance.
The benchmark index on March 31 made a gap down opening tracking weakness in the global markets and closed one percent lower.
The index, on the weekly chart, is locked within a rising channel pattern and is currently trading near the lower band of the rising channel pattern which will act as an important support zone in the weekly interval.
For the last couple of trading sessions, the index has been trading within the 21 & 50-day EMA band and the momentum oscillator RSI (14) is indicating a negative slope.
This technical setup indicates a mixed bias which can lead to a rangebound movement with a spike in volatility.
India VIX seems to have flattened out in the range between 19 and 22 and is currently not producing any significant clues.
The breakdown below 18 level will cool off volatility but the breakout above 23 level will shoot up volatility.
Banks may advertise their low home loan rates, but they add a credit risk mark-up. This mark-up depends on your credit score. If your credit score is good, then the mark-up is small. But if you have a bad credit score, you have to pay a loan rate higher than the advertised rate
Amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, close to 7 million people in India have lost their jobs and are seeking employment opportunities. Considering the rise in number of applicants for jobs, interviews are also getting increasingly competitive.
So what do you do to make the cut?
In this episode of Future Wise, Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Dr. Akhil Shahani, Managing Director, Thadomal Shahani Centre for Management, Shahani Group and CEO of edtech platform Ask.Careers on their new interview preparation application.
After an extended weekend, the Indian market began this week with sharp gains as the Nifty rose more than 2 percent to reclaim 14,800 level on the back of a sharp surge in IT counters along with FMCG, metal and pharma stocks.
On the derivatives front, Put writers were seen adding hefty open interest at 14,600 and 14,700 strikes, while Call writers were seen shifting to higher bands, which point towards strength in the current rally.
Now, 15,000 Call strike holds the maximum open interest of nearly 43 lakh shares, which should act as an immediate strong hurdle for the Nifty.
On the technical front, the Nifty has once again managed to close above its short-term moving averages on the daily interval and witnessed a V-shaped recovery from the lower levels, which point towards the continuation of the rally in prices on short-term charts.
In the upcoming sessions, 14,600-14,500 would act as strong support for the Nifty with bias likely to remain in the favour of bulls as long as 14,500 remains intact.
A CA dropout who fell in love with equities at an early age recommends investors to stick to a disciplined approach while trading Bank Nifty Futures, Arjun Bhatia said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol on the sidelines of Traders Carnival 2021.
This 23-year old trader from Jhansi works on a rule-based system on a 15-minute chart. He is trading successfully for the past 5 years and wants to train around 100,000 traders in the near future.
Bhatia highlighted that the 15-minute chart is better than lower time frame charts such as 5-minute as it minimizes the noise. Higher the time frame, the disturbances are also small.
A 15-minute chart means that every candle represents a 15-minute time frame. Each one has individual potential support and resistance levels.
The system which Bhatia is using is a combination of 3 indicators – Pivot Points, Alligator, and Supertrend.
For traders who joined D-Street in 2020, Bhatia advises them to follow a system trade strategy. The rule-based system will help investors to remove human emotion. It will help in avoid early entry or exit from a trade.

Many investors fail to realize the power of compounding, Vivek Mashrani, Founder of TechnoFunda Investing – Vivekmashrani.com said in a podcast with Moneycontrol on the sidelines of Traders Carnival 2021.
Even if you are 30 years old and have missed out on investing in markets you can still compound wealth systematically by using TechnoFunda Investing.
“How to make Rs 100 crore by investing Rs 10 lakh was a concept originally introduced by Ramesh Damani in one of the guest lectures. How retail investors can make it big despite having a small amount of initial capital, but it is possible if they understand the power of compounding,” explains Mashrani.
“If you start with Rs 10 lakh and start investing at the age of 30. It is still possible – thanks to the power of compounding. The CAGR which will be required will be around 20-25% that will double money every 3 years,” he explains.
The bigger task is to find companies that are showing growth of 20-25% CAGR in the sectors which are undergoing megatrends and that is where concepts of TechnoFunda investing comes in, added Mashrani.

The asset class which was not only the best asset class of 2020 but was also the best-performing asset class of the decade is fast catching up with Indian investors as well, Pareen Lathia, WazirX – a cryptocurrency exchange told Moneycontrol on the sidelines of Traders Carnival 2021.
“Bitcoin is essentially peer-to-peer digital gold. It is validated by millions of people across the globe, and it is limited in supply similarly to Gold. Investors should do their own research and read before investing because it is complex,” he added.
“Bitcoin has already become an asset class in India. There are more than 1 cr people holding the crypto in India. We have seen $1 bn of turnover, and we have seen a global surge in Bitcoin investments primarily because it is seen as a hedge,” he added,
Lathia further added that retail investors are waking up that having a small percentage of Bitcoin in their portfolio is inevitable.
Commenting on the surge of women investors in Bitcoin, Lathia said that women investors investing in Bitcoin is increasing. “We have seen a lot of women investors join the industry and also those investors who haven’t invested in traditional assets which is an encouraging sign and the number is only going to rise,” added Lathia.

The Nifty has been moving in the 15,431-14,350 range in the weekly frame for the past seven weeks. On the daily timeframe, it has closed below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which had been acting as strong support since October 2020.
Just like Nifty, the Bank Nifty also has moved and held below the 50-day SMA.
On the options front, huge participation and open interest addition are seen at the 15,000 Call strike. On the Put side, open interest addition is seen at 14,000.
Going ahead, we can expect the broader range of Nifty to be between 14,000 and 15,000.
On the indicator front, the RSI plotted on the weekly and the daily timeframes can be seen forming a bearish hinge and is moving lower, indicating that the bears are in control of the trend.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 14,350 (multiple touchpoint level) followed by 13,951 (38.2 percent retracement level of the rise from 11,557-15,431).
On the upside, the key resistance level is 15,000-15,050. If the index sustains above it, we might see the index head higher towards 15,220-15,430 (resistance zone and previous swing high).
When things are not working in your favour it is better to take a step back and rework on the strategy and then enter fresh to avoid multifold losses, Piyush Chaudhry, Founder, Wave Analytics said in D-Street Talk podcast powered by Moneycontrol on the sidelines of Traders Carnival 2021.
The 2020 boom seen in the retail investor community is just the beginning but at the same time managing a trade when things are going against you is where investors have to be disciplined and follow a systematic approach.
“The first lesson is don’t try to fight the market. If I make a view, I act accordingly and take the position. If I go wrong I hit the stop and get out of the position, take the hit and go out,” says Chaudhry.
“One I am out, I go to the drawing board. I re-understand the situation with a calmer mind. I prefer taking a loss and go back to the drawing board and comeback,” he explains.
One thing which retail investors should keep in mind is “never bet so much that you can’t make a come back.”

The home loan space is abuzz once again with banks slashing their interest rates and waiving off processing fees in the first week of March.
It started on March 1, with State Bank of India reducing its home loan rates on March 1 from 6.8 percent to 6.7 percent for home loans of up to Rs 75 lakh.

Kotak Mahindra Bank, which was offering the lowest interest rate in the market of 6.75 percent, slashed it further by ten basis points.
In addition, the Maharashtra government announced a one percent concession on stamp duty rates for women home buyers. Some states, including Maharashtra and Karnataka, had already slashed stamp duties till March 31, 2021 to give a boost to housing sales.
The overall environment seems favourable for home-buyers. But should you buy a house because of these factors? Tune into Simply Save for answers.
Nifty has been consolidating for the last six weeks in a weekly closing range of 14,550-15,200.
On March 19, the index found support in the gap zone of 14,336-14,469 and registered a sharp recovery.
On the same day, Nifty formed a bullish piercing line candlestick pattern on the daily chart, indicating a short-term bullish reversal.
This week has started with a narrow move where Nifty has formed a small inside bar on the daily chart.
It is yet to form the lower bottom on the weekly line charts to confirm the downtrend. The lower top is already in place but the lower bottom is yet to be confirmed as Nifty is still maintaining its level above the previous bottom of 14,529 on the weekly closing basis.
Last week, Nifty found support on the upward sloping trendline on the weekly charts which indicates that the primary uptrend is still there.
Sectors with positive bias are FMCG, metal, energy and IT. Selective NBFC stocks also look good.
Indicators and oscillators like RSI, MACD and DMI have not been showing any sign of strength in the index.
For the last few days, key indices have remained rangebound but if we observe the price action of individual stocks, especially from the F&O universe, some sort of distribution is clearly visible.
The Nifty managed to fill the gap of 14,470–14,330 created on February 2, a day after the Union Budget was presented. Since the market was a bit oversold, some sort of rebound was evident, but the kind of V-shaped recovery we witnessed, was unexpected.
Although the recent cautious stance has played out well, we need to see how the market behaves in the first half of this week.
On the higher side, 14,875–15,050 are the levels to watch out for, whereas, on the lower side, 14,450-14,350 is the key support zone.
A major corrective move is possible only below 14,330, until then expect the index to remain in a broad range.
Traders are advised to be stock-specific and till the time the Nifty does not go past 15,050, we are likely to see some pressure at higher levels.
One should remain light and trade with proper risk management as we step into the monthly expiry week.
Haryana Deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala says his state not the first to reserve jobs in the private sector for locals.
The Nifty50 has rallied by about 70 percent so far in FY21, but there is plenty of action still left as we are in the first round of bull market, Sachin Shah, Fund Manager, Emkay Investment Managers said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
“We are in the first round of bull run and the IPO which hit D-Street during this phase are usually the quality companies. Most of the companies listed recently are fairly decent quality businesses,” he said.
Shah further added that these are the companies that have the potential along with quality management. They hold the potential for the next few years.

Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts but it could not maintain the same structure on the weekly as well as on the daily charts which shows that while the long-term bullish trend is still intact, the medium-term trend has weakened.
On the daily charts, Nifty could not sustain above its 20-day SMA and it has formed lower top lower bottom price formation which suggests short-term trend has turned bearish.
The index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day and 200-day SMA which is a relaxing factor.
The RSI plotted on the medium and long-term timeframe can be seen moving downwards.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short term are 14,467 (swing low) and 14,000 (key support), followed by 13,596 (swing low).
On the upside, the key resistance level is 15,051 (weekly high). If the index sustains above this level, we might see it heading higher towards 15,336 (3-week high) and eventually 15,431 (all-time high).
The long-term bullish trend remains intact but in the medium-term, we might see the index in a range between 14,460 to 15,431 levels.
In this episode of Moneycontrol Macro Minutes, Ajay Sahai, Director General of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations - India's apex export promotion body - says that Indian exporters are now receiving a flurry of foreign orders as global trade picks up. But he warns that the international crisis over lack of available shipping containers, lack of liquidity facing MSMEs and differential levels of vaccination in different economies continues to pose a challenge.
Bulls pushed Indian benchmark indices to record highs in FY21 where Sensex climbed above 52000 while the Nifty50 hit a life high above 15400 levels, but the vertical rise seen in the market makes Nikhil Kamath slightly cautious.
Kamath who is Co-founder and CIO, True Beacon and Zerodha in D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol said that as a fund we remain circumspect. The fund is about 60% hedged as markets seem to be trading ahead of valuations.
“With the resurgence of the second wave, we want to be more skeptical. We continue to maintain the hedge but yes we can bring it down from 60% to 50% in the foreseeable future,” he said.
For FY22, Kamath expects the market to remain rangebound between 14000-15500. But, the ideal level would be at the lower end of the range compared to the higher end of the range.

Since the start of this week, Nifty50 has been witnessing high volatility.
The benchmark index on March 17 started the day flat, taking the clues from its global peers. Later on, as the day progressed prices again underwent strong volatility till the mid-session of the day and finally witnessed a smaller degree horizontal trendline breakdown in the intraday chart and closed below 14,750 with a loss of more than one percent from its previous closing.
For the past few trading sessions, the index has been firmly holding above its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) but due to a brisk sell-off on March 17, it closed below its 21-day EMA on the daily interval, which is mildly negative for the index.
On the weekly chart, this current candle has engulfed its previous week's candle and if the index closes below 14,850, bearish engulfing will be formed on the weekly timeframe which will be a negative signal.
India VIX has currently settled below 21 level on the daily chart, so we can expect a cooling-off in the volatility in the coming trading sessions.
For the past one-month, Bank Nifty has been trading within a consolidation range. On March 17, the banking index witnessed a breakdown of its one-month consolidation and prices also closed below its 21-day EMA on the daily interval.
Nifty50 has given a negative breakdown so every uptick in the index should be utilised for a fresh shorting opportunity.
Nifty will likely face a strong resistance near 14,950 which is capped under a 21-day EMA. On the lower side, support can be seen at 14,400 which is again under the trendline support.

Listen in for more.
Volatility gripped the Indian market once again as Nifty swung in the range of 14,900 to 15,050 as the tug of war among Option writers at 15,000 strike kept the market in consolidation mode.
On the derivative front, Call writers were seen adding hefty open interest at 15,000, 15,100 and 15,200 strikes which point towards limited upside in the index as of now.
On the technical front, the zone of 14,700-14,600 is a strong support area for Nifty.
The secondary oscillators suggest that the market is likely to face volatile moves in the upcoming sessions with some consolidation within a broader range of 14,700-15,200.
Stock-specific action is expected to be on the radar with bias likely to remain in favour of the bulls as long as Nifty holds above 14,600 level.
Nifty has been witnessing a choppy trend for the last six consecutive weeks, wherein rallies are sold into and dips are getting bought into.
'Sell on rallies' and 'buy on dips' kind of strategy has been playing out in the current market scenario as far as benchmark indices like Nifty and Bank Nifty are concerned.
However, the primary trend of the market is bullish as short-term moving averages are above medium to long-term moving averages and Nifty has been holding higher tops and higher bottoms.
In the last two sessions, Nifty witnessed a correction of almost 600 points from the high.
On March 15, 2021, Nifty found support at a 50-day moving average and bounced back sharply from the low.
The upward sloping trendline, adjoining the lows of weeks ended March 27, 2020, November 6, 2020, and February 5, 2021, projects the strong support around 14,700 odd levels, which coincides with the 50-day moving average support.
The recovery from this support has increased the chances of the resumption of an uptrend in the Nifty.
It seems that Nifty is on the verge of ending the recent consolidation and entering the bullish momentum phase again.
The Nifty Smallcap index has outperformed the Nifty with a huge margin by not even breaching its 8-day EMA on a closing basis.
Barring the second half of March 12, the market had a unidirectional move throughout the previous week. After the gap-up, there was no major action in indices as they kept moving within a small range, maintaining their positive posture.
Real action was in individual themes that were missing on March 12. With March 12 move, 15,200–15,400 has become a sturdy wall for the Nifty and it would be a daunting task to surpass this in the absence of any major trigger on the global as well as domestic front.
On the other hand, the key support is placed at 14,925–14,850. A sustainable violation of these supports would lead to an extended correction and in that case, we may see the Nifty sliding to 14,700 or may even
test recent swing low of 14,467.
If we observe the hourly chart, a breakdown from the rising wedge pattern is visible, which does not bode well for the bulls. All eyes would be on the global peers as they play a vital role in dictating the near-term
direction for the Indian market.
Global diversification trend has just started in FY21 but the momentum is likely to continue in coming years and the allocation of Indian investors outside the country could well match the global trend of 20-40%, Pratik Oswal, Head Passive Fund at Motilal Oswal AMC, and CEO at Glide Invest in the Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
Nifty has formed a smaller degree rounding bottom formation on the daily chart after retesting its 21-day exponential moving average on the daily timeframe chart.
The index, on the intraday chart, has given a horizontal trendline breakout and has sustained above the same.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) is hovering near 55–65 level with positive crossover on the daily interval. The overall structure on the indicator suggests RSI may soon revisit the 70-level which is its prior resistance zone.
Most of the Asian equity benchmarks traded in the green on March 10 as the market sentiment got boosted with the bond yields holding back ahead of auctions in the coming days and greater momentum in the vaccination drive.
India VIX for the last three trading sessions has been forming red candles on the daily chart and on March 10, the volatility index drifted almost 8 percent to close below 21-level.
As the India VIX slips lower, there will be a cooling-off in the market volatility with a clearer trend.
The base support for Nifty50 has shifted above 14,850–14,900 level. Any dip towards those levels can be used as a 'buy on dips' opportunity.
The current rally looks quite convincing and the index may touch 15,400 or maybe a new lifetime high in the coming trading sessions.

Nifty broke the two-day losing streak by rising 18 points to close at 14,956 on March 8.
Last week, the benchmark index bounced back after two weeks of correction. But the weekly candlestick shows that the index has closed well off the highs, which indicates that there was selling pressure at the higher levels.
We also observe a negative divergence on the Nifty weekly charts as the index has made a new high, but the 14-week RSI has made a lower top.
In the derivatives segment, FIIs long to short ratio fell to 1.28 level from 3.22 at which we began the March series, indicating FIIs have started reducing their longs in the index futures segment.
Immediate support for the Nifty is placed around 14,800 where we have seen Put writing. Any close below this level would mean that correction could accelerate and Nifty could attempt 14,521-14,600 levels.
If Nifty does not move above 15,250 on any pullback rally, the intermediate downtrend will remain intact.
The short-term trend of the Nifty has turned negative and one should remain cautious till it closes above 15,250.

Last week, the Indian markets added nearly 3 percent but selling in the last couple of sessions pushed Nifty below 15,000. In all, it was a difficult week for momentum traders because the moment market tried to decide its direction, we had some surprises.
Although the market did manage to recover well from the previous Friday’s level, it us with some doubts.
As far as levels are concerned, 15,100 and 15,273 are immediate hurdles, whereas, on the lower side, 14,760 – 14,467 are the key supports.
If we take a glance at the weekly chart, we are still unsure whether the market has enough strength to go beyond recent highs around 15,400 – 15,550 without seeing any decent price or timewise correction.
But at the same time, they are just refusing to fall as well. It would be interesting to see how markets behave in the first half of this week. It should then ideally give us some fair idea of where it is heading in the short-term.
Traders are advised to focus on stock-specific moves and should avoid aggressive leveraged overnight positions.

The Nifty has maintained its higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts and it has once again formed the same pattern on the weekly as well as on daily charts after the correction which has happened in the last 2 weeks. It shows a strong bullish undertone of the market for the medium to long term.
A couple of days back, we have seen that on the daily time frame, the Nifty has formed a change in polarity structure near the 14700 – 14500 range and bounced back sharply after bottoming out near these levels which indicates the 14700 – 14500 range will act as a crucial support zone in the future.
On the indicator front, the index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50 Day 100 Day and 200 Day SMA.
The RSI plotted on the medium and long term time frame can be seen rising that indicates that the medium and long term trend of the index remains bullish.
The key support levels to watch for in the short term are 15017 (20 Day SMA) and 14750 (previous swing high) followed by 14467 (Swing Low)
On the upside, the key resistance levels are 15431 (All-Time High), and if the index sustains above this level, we might see the Nifty50 heading higher towards 15910 (78.6% extension level of the rise from 13596-15431 projected form 14467) and eventually 16303 (100% extension level of the rise from 13596-15431 projected form 14467).

As prices have neglected its short-term negative set up by giving a closing above the resistance zone which forced the index to close above its 21-Day exponential moving average (EMA) on the daily time frame.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) is reading near 60 levels in a higher low formation on the daily interval which positive crossover on the cards.
INDIA VIX on 03rd March slipped more than 6 percent and closed below 23 levels. Recently, the VIX index witnessed a breakout above 25 levels but couldn’t hold on to it and created a whipsaw and drift below the 25 levels on the daily chart.
Indicator reading near 60 levels as well as prices is trading above its 21-Day EMA, all this positive technical setup indicates 15600 is soon very achievable for the Nifty50 in the near term.

Bulls made a smart comeback in the last two sessions after Indian markets witnessed a deep cut in the week gone by.
Nifty managed to surpass 14,900 on the back of short-covering done by Call writers at 14,800 strike.
On the technical front, the index almost made a V-shape recovery after testing the 14,470 mark on the downside where it took support at its 50-day exponential moving average on the daily charts.
At the current juncture, Call writers are seen shifting to 15,000 strike which should act as an immediate hurdle for Nifty while on the downside 14,800 and 14,700 will act as crucial support for the index.
For the upcoming sessions, we expect volatility to grip the market and a seesaw move in Nifty and Bank Nifty.
Traders should keep stock-specific action on the radar with bias likely to remain in favour of bulls as long as Nifty holds above 14,700 level.
On February 1, Nifty formed a bullish inside candle which is also known as Harami candlestick pattern. However, the overall formation still looks weak on the daily charts and it is advisable to remain stock-specific bullish with protective stop losses.
After the recent fall from the highs, Nifty is now trading below its 5, 10 and 20 days EMA. By breaching the crucial support of 14,635, Nifty has also confirmed the bearish formation of lower top and lower bottom on the daily chart.
On February 26, Nifty formed a bearish island reversal pattern on the daily charts. This formation usually leads to a sharp downside post breaking the low of the candle and it has not been breached as of yet.
Nifty is yet to break below the support of 55 days EMA, placed at 14,315 odd levels.
The 55-day EMA acted as a bullish reversal during the correction seen before Budget.
There has also been the support derived from the upward sloping trend-line adjoining the major bottoms since March 2020 bottom on Nifty weekly charts.
The trendline support is currently placed at 14,350 odd levels, which also coincides with the partially filled gap support placed between 14,336 and 14,469.
India VIX has reached above 28, its highest level in the last eight months. VIX index has also started sustaining above its 200 DMA which is a bearish sign for the markets.
Last week, Nifty sneaked below its recent swing low of 14,635 on a closing basis. This led to the confirmation of the first sign of trend reversal in the form of ‘lower top lower bottom’ on the daily timeframe chart.
The weekly chart had shown some exhaustion in the previous week as we observed fatigue around the strong resistance zone of 15,380 – 15,500 which is the 161 percent 'golden ratio’ of the entire fall from January 2020 highs to March 2020 lows.
Looking at the price structure, we expect this correction to extend towards 14,200 – 14,000 levels first.
The level of 14,000 would be seen as crucial trendline support and a breach of this would open up further space towards 13,700 – 13,500.
We would be closely observing how the index behaves around 14,000 this week. The short-term tide has turned downwards and the view will remain intact as long as 15,200 is not broken.
On the immediate basis, 14,750 – 14,920 are to be seen as stiff hurdles. The larger degree uptrend is still very much intact.

Nifty ended with a gain of 0.77 percent at 15,097.35 on February 25.
On the daily timeframe, we can see that the index has formed a bottom near 14,600. This is close to the 14,730-mark which is a 38.2 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,596-15,431.
On the indicator front, the index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day and 200 -day SMA.
The RSI plotted on the medium and the short-term charts can be seen rising, indicating that the medium and short-term trend of the index remains bullish.
On the upside, the key resistance levels are 15,276 (Feb 9, 2021 high). If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards the lifetime high of 15,431 and eventually 15,838 (138.2 percent extension level of the rise from 13,131-14,753, projected from 13,596).
The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 14,635 (weekly low), followed by 14,297 (61.8 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,596-15,431).

Nifty snapped its five-day losing streak on February 23. However, Bank Nifty closed in the negative territory for the sixth consecutive session as selling pressure in HDFC twins and Axis Bank capped the upside moves.
On the technical front, however, both Nifty and Bank Nifty managed to close above their key support levels of 14,700 and 35,000, respectively.
On the derivatives front, Put writers were seen adding hefty open interest at 14,700 strike which should act as immediate support for Nifty while Call writers are pretty much active at 14,800 and 15,000 strikes.
As we are approaching the monthly expiry of February F&O contracts, the market may remain volatile ahead of rollovers.
On the higher side, the bias would once again turn bullish if Nifty manages to give a decisive move above 15,000 once again in the upcoming sessions.
On the flip side, a slide below 14,700 would bring bears on the front foot once again which could drag Nifty towards 14,500 level.
Nifty continued its downward journey for the fifth consecutive day as it plunged 306 points or 2 percent on Monday to close at 14,676, its lowest close since February 2.
This was the highest single-day fall in the Nifty after December 21, 2020.
Last week, Nifty violated the crucial support of the upward sloping trendline, adjoining the highs of January 13 and January 21, 2021.
Nifty closed below its 20-day EMA supports and now the short-term trend has turned negative.
On the weekly charts, Nifty has formed a bearish engulfing pattern, which is a bearish trend reversal indication.
Indicators and oscillators like RSI and MACD have shown negative crossover coupled with negative divergence on the daily charts, which increases the chances of extension of the fall in Nifty.
On the derivatives front, we have seen Call writing at 14,800-15,000 levels.
On February 2, Nifty formed a gap between 14,336-14,470 which is yet to be filled and it may act as an immediate support zone for the Nifty.
Nifty slipped below the psychologically important level of 15,000 last Friday, snapping the weekly winning streak.
For the major part of the week gone by, the market had been experiencing some pressure at higher levels and this is what we have been alluding to in our intra-week commentaries.
Technically, last week’s high precisely coincided around the crucial resistance zone of 15,380–15,500, which is the 161 percent ‘golden ratio’ of the entire fall from January 2020 highs to March 2020 lows.
Some sort of pause around it was quite evident. Although the market has come off a bit in the last three sessions, structurally, there is no major damage done on the charts.
It should merely be considered as profit-booking as of now. Going ahead, we need to keep a close eye on how Nifty behaves around its key support zone of 14,750–14,550.
Only a sustainable breach of these crucial levels should be considered as a short-term trend reversal.
As we move from recession to recovery, from virus to vaccine on the macro front, we think we'll move from a liquidity-fuelled rally in 2020 to more earnings driven movements in 2021, Trideep Bhattacharya, who's a Senior Portfolio Manager, Alternative Equities at Axis AMC said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.

The Nifty50 on the daily time frame is trading near the upper band of the rising channel pattern and currently facing a stiff resistance of its overhead trend line which is placed near 15,450 levels.
The Nifty50 on 17th Feb witnessed a minor gap-down opening and traded in a narrow range for the first initial hours and later on price slip below 15250 levels and continued its lower low formation on the smaller degree chart (15 mins).
The benchmark index has almost completed a 161.80 percent Fibonacci price extension from its previous intermediate bottom on the daily time frame.
Currently, India VIX is reading within the narrow range of 20.50 -22.50 on the daily chart. Meanwhile, INDIAVIX continues to settle below its 21-day exponential moving average which indicates volatility is losing its grip.
Higher high higher bottom formation continues in the BANK NIFTY where prices registered their lifetime high levels of 37708.

The Indian market continues witnessing new record highs and inching higher on the back of strong global and domestic cues.
Nifty surpassed 15,400 while Bank Nifty hit an all-time high above 37,700 on February 16 with PSU banks outperforming the market on news that the government is all set to bring amendments to two Acts to enable privatisation of PSU banks.
However, traders were also seen locking profits at higher levels as IT and FMCG stocks witnessed some selling pressure.
On the derivative front, however, the tug of war between bulls and bears is likely to continue in the coming sessions as well as Call writers are seen adding hefty open interest at 15,300 & 15,400 strikes, while Put writers also hold maximum open interest at 15,300 strikes as of now.
For the next few sessions, we expect the market to remain volatile and trade in the range of 15,100-15,400 with some stock-specific action.
Nifty has broken out from the last five-day price consolidation which was held between 15,000 and 15,250.
On February 15, Nifty Bank and Nifty Financial Services jumped up to 3 percent and outperformed Nifty by a huge margin.
Bank Nifty has confirmed the bullish flag pattern on the daily chart. The upside target for the pattern comes in at 42,000 odd levels.
The immediate target for Bank Nifty is seen at 38,900 which happens to be 138.2 percent Fibonacci retracement of the entire fall seen from 32,613 (December 2019 top) to 16,616 (March 2020 bottom).
Nifty has been respecting the five-day EMA as a support for the last four trading sessions.
At present, the five-day EMA is placed at 15,170 which can be placed as a stop loss in trading long positions.
The previous top of 14,753 registered on January 21, 2021, is expected to act as positional support for Nifty.
The market ended last week by adding another 1.60 percent to the previous weekly close.
Although the bears tried to take the charge, all attempts turned unsuccessful. Despite having some fatigue around highs, the market was not willing to surrender and hence, slipped into a consolidation mode.
Now, taking a glance at all timeframe charts, we are unable to find any key observation. Hence, 15,300 – 15,000 will be seen as a crucial range and a breakout on either side should ideally dictate the direction.
But in case of an upside breakout, we would avoid aggressive participation, because as of now, we do not see Nifty going beyond 15,450 – 15,600 in the same leg of the rally.
So, we would continue to advise booking profits if Nifty enters this mentioned zone. On the flip side, the action below 15,000 would be an interesting one to participate in.

Nishant Agarwal, Managing Partner & Head - Family Office, ASK Wealth Advisors in the Market Podcast with Moneycontrol explained how investors can deploy the money in three easy steps to take advantage of a fall or a crisis like a situation similar to what we saw during COVID times.
Nifty continues to make a higher high, higher low pattern on the weekly timeframe.
However, on the daily timeframe, we can see that the higher high, higher low pattern has halted, and the index has been moving sideways for the past 4 sessions after facing rejection near 15,243 (50 percent extension level of the rise from 11,535-14,753 projected from the 13,634).
The index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50, 100 and 200-day SMA. The RSI plotted on the medium-term timeframe can be seen rising, indicating that the medium-term trend of the index remains bullish.
In the short term, however, the indicator is going flattish which points towards the ongoing tug of war between the bulls and bears.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short term are 14,865 (23.6 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,596-15,257), followed by 14,622 (38.2 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,596-15,257).
On the upside, the key resistance level is 15,257 which is the weekly high.
If the index sustains above this level, we might see it heading higher towards 15,578 which is a 50 percent extension of the rise from 10,700-14,753, projected from 13,596.
We believe that the medium-term bullish trend remains intact. The price action analysis of the short-term charts shows the possibility of a slight correction.

At the current point when markets are trading at multiples which we have not witnessed in our own history, I think we feel safer by remaining hedged, says Zerodha Co-founder Nikhil Kamath in the D-Street Talk Podcast with Moneycontrol.
Nifty has been trading within a range of 200 points with high volatility for the last couple of trading sessions.
Prices, on the daily chart, have taken resistance at 141.40 percent Fibonacci extension which is placed at around 15,232 levels from its previous intermediate low of around 13,596 levels.
On February 10, the benchmark index traded flat and swung both ways through the day.
Later, in the final 30 minutes, it recovered almost a hundred points from the low and closed near its previous day’s closing price.
In the previous week, we witnessed some extraordinary bullish momentum where the index closed almost nine percent higher.
So, for this particular week, the index is likely to take a breather and most likely will consolidate within a very narrow range with a pinch of volatility.
On the daily chart, the index is trading within a rising channel formation and has currently halted near the upper band of the said pattern.
We are not getting any clear signal from the India VIX as it is reading in the range of 15 -25 (10 points).

Nifty continued its northward journey for the sixth consecutive day as it rose 192 points to close at yet another new high of 15,116 on February 8.
During the last six trading sessions, Nifty gained more than 1,500 points. This indicates that the bulls have dominated the bears and now the intermediate uptrend has resumed again.
In the last week, Nifty closed above its 5- and 20-day EMA which is placed at 14,700 and 14,430, respectively.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 14,700-14,800 levels. This level also coincides with the previous all-time high level which will interchange its role as a support going forward.
Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact till Nifty is trading above 14,700 levels.
Nifty has shown a sharp recovery of more than 100 percent from 7,511(March 2020 bottom) to 15,160 (February 8, 2021 high).
Immediate target for Nifty is seen at 15,470, which happens to be 161.8 percent retracement of the entire fall seen from January 2020 to March 2020.
Finance Minister stood by her words and really presented ‘like never before’ Union Budget on February 1.
Since the market had lightened up ahead of the event, market participants had all the reasons to grab this opportunity with both hands and hence, we saw a gargantuan move to clock probably the biggest gains ever on the Budget day.
The level of exuberance kept on rising as the week progressed to clock one of the biggest weekly gains.
There was no doubt left after last Monday’s session that we were heading towards record highs.
The real charioteer of this spellbinding move was the financial space.
Some of the banking giants took off in the week gone by as if there is no tomorrow. Now, the market has hastened towards its near-term targets with this fast and furious rally.
It would be interesting to see how it behaves this week. As far as the levels are concerned, 15,050 – 15,200 – 15,400 are the important Fibonacci levels in the upward direction, whereas, on the lower side, 14,700 – 14,500 are the key supports.
Although the banking stocks have seen the rarest weekly spurt in the week gone by, some profit booking was witnessed last Friday after a marathon rally.
This led to the formation of the ‘Gravestone Doji’ pattern on the daily chart of Bank Nifty.
The said pattern needs confirmation of price trading below the low of the candle i.e. 35,545.

Nifty tested a fresh lifetime high of 14,913.70 on February 4. The up-move was broad-based as most sectoral indices along with the mid and small-caps also logged gains.
Nifty remains above the long-term moving averages of 50, 100 and 200-day simple moving averages.
RSI is moving higher as the prices rise which points towards the expanding bullish momentum.
Nifty seems to be moving higher and has started the next phase of upside.
The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 14,200, followed by 13,600.
On the upside, the key resistance levels are 15,200 (100 percent extension level of the rise from 13,131-14,753.5 projected from 13,596).
If the index sustains above this level, we might see it head higher towards 15,650 (1 percent extension level of the rise from 13,131-14,753 projected form 13,596).
We expect the index to move higher and test 15,200, followed by the 15,650- mark.
If the index breaches and closes below the 14,200-mark, we might see the correction continue and can expect a test of 13,600-mark.

The Indian market continued its bull-run for the second consecutive session after the Budget with Nifty ending above 14,600 on February 2.
Nifty has surged more than 7 percent in the last two sessions as participants gave a thumbs up to the Union Budget.
On the derivative front, Call writers at 14,000 and 14,200 strikes triggered short-covering which pushed Nifty towards 14,600 levels.
At the current juncture, Put writers are getting active at 14,200 and 14,300 strikes while Call writers are seen shifting towards 15,000 strikes.
We believe the bullish momentum may continue in the Indian markets and any dip in the prices should be utilised to take fresh longs.
On the higher side, a decisive move above 14,700 will once again add follow-up buying in the index which could take it towards 14,900 and 15,000 levels as well.
On February 1, Nifty and Sensex jumped 5 percent which happens to be the highest Budget day gain in percentage terms in the last 20 years.
Nifty Bank and Financial Services indices outperformed Nifty by a huge margin, posting a single-day gain of 8 percent.
Nifty managed to retrace more than 62 percent of the entire fall which we saw from 14,753 (January 21, 2021 top) to 13,596 (January 29, 2021 bottom).
The retracement of more than 62 percent of the primary down-move, which negates the chances of the resumption of a downtrend and therefore there are good chances that Nifty might surpass the all-time high of 14,753 soon.
On January 29, Nifty took support at the upward sloping trendline, adjoining the previous major bottoms of September 24 and October 30, 2020, on the daily chart.
Nifty and Bank Nifty have registered provisional long build-up of 18 percent and 23 percent, respectively.

Nifty ended the week a tad above the 13,600-mark with a massive cut of over five percent on a weekly basis.
It was the biggest weekly drop since September 2020 despite being a truncated week. Nifty wiped off more than 1,100 points in the last six trading sessions.
Although it was intimidating, we were not surprised by this sudden fall because the market had hinted towards it and we continuously highlighted those caveats.
Markets were deeply overbought for many weeks, but the real indication came when we witnessed a ‘3-points negative divergence’ in the RSI-smoothened oscillator on the daily chart in all key indices (Nifty, Bank Nifty and Nifty Midcap 50) after clocking their fresh record highs.
We are considerably off record highs and the way charts are shaped up, it does not bode well for the short-term bulls.
Looking at the weekly timeframe, a close below 5-day EMA along with a shooting star pattern on the monthly chart, the Nifty is possibly headed towards the strong support zone of 20-week EMA and 89-day EMA of 13,200 – 13,000.
The expectations are running high ahead of the all-important Budget 2021, but given the fact that most of the positives are priced in, it has become a ‘sellers market’ ahead of the Budget thanks to weak global cues, Neeraj Chadawar, Head - Quantitative Equity Research, Axis Securities said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
Keerthana Tiwari and Moneycontrol's Corporate Bureau Chief Prince Thomas discuss the Economic Survey 2021, the Union Budget and the Q3 results from various sectors in Corporate India.
Nifty has been forming a lower low lower high pattern and moving lower ever since it faced rejection near the 14,753 mark.
On January 28, the index tested a low of 13,713.
The correction seems to be broad-based as the mid-cap, small-cap and most of the sectoral indices seem to be moving lower with the benchmark index.
On the open interest front, the highest participation is seen at the 13,500 Put options and 14,000 Call options. We can expect the broader range of the index to be between 13,500-14,000.
Nifty remains above the 50, 100 and 200-day SMA. The ADX is moving lower as the prices fall which points towards the weakness in the trend.
The index seems to be moving lower in a corrective form. The key support levels to watch out for in the short-term are 13,750 which is a 61.8 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,131-14,753.
It is followed by 13,478 which is a 78.6 percent retracement level of the rise from 13,131-14,753.
On the upside, the key resistance levels are 14,000-14,100. If the index sustains above this level, we might see the index head higher towards 14,450-14,753.
Currently, the index is in a corrective phase and we expect the correction to halt at 13,750 which also happens to be the 50-day SMA.
If the correction halts, we can expect the index to resume its up-move and go higher towards 14,000-14,100.

Wealth creation now has a new name. No, it is not a person or a company but ‘technology’ will make all the difference now, says Kanika Agarrwal of Upside AI in a D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol.
Since November 3, 2020, Nifty had been trading well above its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) on the daily timeframe.
But on January 27, 2021, the benchmark index witnessed a negative opening below its 21-day EMA, following global peers and continued witnessing selling pressure throughout the day.
Since November 20, prices had been within a rising channel pattern but on January 27, the benchmark index witnessed a negative breakdown of a rising channel pattern on the daily interval.
The breach of 21-day EMA along with a cluster of channel pattern breakdown indicates Nifty may trade with a bearish shade in the further trading sessions.
Currently, India VIX is near its horizontal trendline resistance which is placed at 25.20 level on the daily chart.
If India VIX chart witnesses a breakout above its resistance level, then Nifty may sail through the sharp volatility with a bearish bias.
Bank Nifty has witnessed a four-month long rising channel pattern breakdown on the daily interval and it has closed below its 21-day exponential moving average.
Moneycontrol's M Saraswathy talks to Sumit Kumar, Vice President, NETAP (National Employability Through Apprenticeship Program), TeamLease Skills University to find out how the budget could help improve the country's employment situation.
Nifty continued its downward journey for the third consecutive day as it fell 133 points to close at 14,239 on January 25, marking its lowest close since January 7.
It was October 2020 when Nifty had fallen for three consecutive sessions.
Last Thursday, Nifty made a 'dark cloud cover' bearish reversal pattern on the daily chart while it made a spinning top on the weekly chart.
This indicates that the bears dominated the bulls as the markets corrected and most of the gains were eroded during the latter part of last week.
Now, the intermediate uptrend has shifted downward.
RSI (14) has now breached 60 levels on the daily chart and is showing signs of negative divergence.
Nifty also closed below its 20-day EMA. This is the first time after November 2, 2020, that Nifty has closed below its 20-day EMA.

Moneycontrol's Neha Dave tells us what announcements from Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman could put public sector banks on the growth path.
In the early sessions of the last week, markets took a smart U-turn, tracking positivity across the globe.
Although new highs were hit, it was not convincing. The main reason behind this was that Nifty, Nifty Bank and Nifty Midcap 50 were making new highs with the 3-points negative divergence in the RSI-smoothened oscillator on the daily chart.
Such divergence with the 3 points is generally considered as a sign of caution and hence, repeatedly we advise not getting carried away by the euphoria.
Now, although Nifty has not broken any major supports, the development in Nifty Bank does not look encouraging at all.
In fact, the entire banking and financial space was the main culprit behind last Friday’s correction as they took a solid knock.
To be specific, Nifty Bank has confirmed a double top pattern on the daily chart and has broken its important swing low with ease.
The weekly chart of the same exhibits the confirmation of the ‘long-legged Doji’ pattern.
For Nifty, the important support to watch out for would be 14,222, below which, the recent bullish structure will get distorted to extend the correction towards 14,000–13,800 levels.
Keerthana Tiwari and Moneycontrol's Corporate Bureau Chief Prince Thomas talk about the top corporate news this week.
D-Street witnessed a historic moment when Sensex recorded a peak above 50,000 but the next big event which will be in focus is Budget 2021 and the large expectation from the Finance Minister is stability in taxes, Sunil Rohokale, MD & CEO, ASK Group said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
Moneycontrol's Madhuchanda Dey talks about how the markets may react to the announcements made by the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1.
Nifty has been forming higher highs and testing new highs for the last 12 weeks.
On January 21, the index moved higher and broke above the 14,700 mark. The rally that we are witnessing seems broad-based as it is supported by the Nifty Midcap, Smallcap and the Nifty Bank which now seems to be moving in sync with the Nifty.
On the open interest front, the highest participation is seen at 15,200 calls which have seen the addition of open interest.
On the put side, the 14,000 put contracts have the highest open interest. So, we can expect the range of the broader index to be 15,200-14,000 in the medium-term.
On the indicator front, the index remains above the 20, 100, and 200-day simple moving averages.
The ADX is moving higher as the index tests fresh lifetime highs and it points towards the strength in the uptrend.
Based on the above parameters, we can conclude that the medium-term trend of the index remains bullish and we expect the index to move higher and test fresh lifetime highs.
However, in the short-term, we might see a mild correction. From a medium-term perspective, we expect the index to move higher and test the 15,056 level which is 100 percent of the rise from 7,511 to 11,794, projected from 10,790.
In this special episode ahead of the Union Budget 2021, Moneycontrol's Nandish Shah talks about expectations of the consumption sector from FM Sitharaman as she presents the Budget on February 1.
Nifty halted its minor profit-booking near 23.60 percent Fibonacci retracement from its previous intermediate low and closed above 14,600 with a gain of nearly a percent on January 20.
The benchmark index is trading within a rising channel formation on the daily chart which confirms the higher high higher low formation.
India VIX, after facing a stiff resistance near 25.50 levels, has closed below 22 levels, drifting six percent lower for almost two consecutive days.
Momentum oscillator RSI (14) seems to have completed its double-bottom formation near 60 levels, which indicates RSI has formed base support near 60 levels and the initial trend for the index would likely be on the higher side.
We assume that the short-lived correction is probably over and the benchmark index is ready for its next leg of impulse wave which will stretch Nifty to trade in unchartered territory.
As the market is inching higher, there is an upshift in support level which is placed at 14,300 levels. A breach of 14,300 mark will test a lower band of a rising channel pattern near 14,150 levels. While Fibonacci projection suggests 14,830 will be the next resistance to watch out for.

After two consecutive days of fall, the Indian market recovered sharply on January 19 as the benchmark Nifty posted a gain of 240 points in a single-day and reclaimed 14,500 levels.
Bank Nifty also reclaimed 32,400 levels with support coming from HDFC & Bajaj twins.
On the derivatives front, Put writers were seen adding hefty open interest at 14,300 & 14,400 Put strikes while Call writers shed open interest at 14,500 strikes.
In the upcoming session, the market can witness a follow-up rally as there is still a lot of outstanding positions held by Call writers.
On the higher side, immediate resistance is placed at 14,600 for Nifty while Bank Nifty has a strong hurdle in the zone of 32,600 to 32,800.
Any decisive move in Nifty beyond 14,600 could trigger further short-covering which could take Nifty towards 14,800.
However, volatility is likely to grip the market on the back of the ongoing quarterly result season while bias would remain in favour of bulls as far Nifty is holding above 14,300 levels.

From the all-time high of 14,653, Nifty has witnessed a correction of almost 3 percent towards 14,222.
In the week ended January 15, 2021, Nifty formed a Doji candlestick pattern on the weekly chart. Doji indicates indecision and also the reversal in the trend if the low of the candle is breached decisively.
In the first session of this week, we have seen Nifty breaking the crucial support of 14,357, which confirms the bearish trend reversal.
Nifty has been trading in the upward sloping channel. It took resistance on the upper trendline of the channel and reversed south.
The lower trendline of the channel projects the support around 14,150, below which medium-term trend could go in favour of the bears.
RSI oscillator on the daily charts has exited the overbought zone with negative crossover on its signal line.
The MACD indicator has also shown a bearish crossover on the daily chart. These technical developments confirm the downtrend in the short-term.
The second week of the new calendar year started on a good note at a fresh record high, a tad below the 14,500 mark last Monday.
Last Friday, there was some profit-booking and the Nifty ended the week below Monday’s opening point.
The bulls are continuing with their stronghold on the market and barring a single day of sharp correction last month, the relentless rally resumed to clock fresh record highs day by day.
In our intra-week commentary, we had mentioned how the '2.30' factor played out well in the last few days. There was a typical pattern when we see some price decline in the first half and buying emerges in the latter half to hit new record highs.
But this winning streak finally got snapped on Friday when the market corrected further after 2-2.30 pm.
Although it is just a one-day activity and still no major damage done, we expect 14,650 to act as an immediate resistance now.
On the daily chart, Nifty closed below 5-day EMA for the first time in the recent past, which is the first sign of weakness.
Hence, this week, the extension of profit-booking cannot be ruled out. The moment we see Nifty sliding below 14,380, the index may slide towards 14,250-14,100 levels.

Bulls have been on the go, touching new highs in every session. Benchmark index Nifty on January 13 retraced to 14,440 levels but found support near 38.20 percent Fibonacci retracement from its previous intermediate low of 14,039 and witnessed a sharp recovery in the second half of the trading session.
India VIX rose 1.94 percent from 22.85 to 23.29 levels. Volatility is moving upwards because of rising Call implied volatility (IV) and now it needs to cool down below 20 zones to form the higher market base.
This week, prices have closed above the resistance of the upper band of the rising channel pattern on a weekly interval.
Daily RSI (14) has closed above the 80 levels which is an extremely overbought zone. Previously on December 18, 2020, when daily RSI reached near 80 levels, Nifty witnessed a sharp single-day fall in the next immediate trading session.
Now it has to continue to hold above 14,450 to witness a fresh move towards 14,750, while on the downside major support exists at 14,325 levels.

Indian markets once again reached record high levels as the benchmark Nifty closed above 14,500 level while Bank Nifty ended above 32,300 on January 12.
On the derivatives front, heavy Put writing was observed at 14,500 strike while Call writers were seen shifting to higher bands.
This indicates that bulls are likely to keep charge in the upcoming sessions as well.
Technical indicators suggest that the market is likely to witness intraday volatility in the upcoming sessions while bias is likely to remain in favour of bulls as long as Nifty is trading above 14,300 levels.
In this episode of the Simply Save podcast, Moneycontrol's Keerthana Tiwari and Preeti Kulkarni discuss the differences between the old tax regime and the new regime announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union Budget 2020.
Nifty continued its northward journey for the second day on the trot on January 11 wherein it gained 138 points to close at yet another new all-time high levels.
Last Friday, Nifty broke out from NR4 pattern (narrow range four bar on the daily chart) which is a bullish continuation pattern.
This indicates that the bulls have overpowered the bears as the markets could continue its upward momentum since the intermediate uptrend is intact.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the intermediate uptrend to continue.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 14,200 levels. In the last few days, Nifty found support at 8-day EMA and bounced back which is currently placed at 14,196.
This level coincides with Put writing level of 14,200. Therefore, we believe that short-term trend will remain intact till Nifty is trading above 14,200.
While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only if the Nifty closes below 14,200.
Arup Roychoudhury gets in conversation with Shubhada Rao, founder of QuantEco Research and former Chief Economist of Yes Bank.
The smart rally in Nifty on January 8 was mainly triggered by global optimism. It has been one of the biggest as well as the longest relentless rallies in the history of Indian markets.
Those who missed the bus are completely furious and at the same time, the set of contrarian traders also must have gone for a toss.
As a momentum trader, such rallies become extremely difficult to trade, because whenever the short-term tide reverses, it will catch a lot of complacent traders on the wrong foot.
Nobody knows when it’s going to happen and till the time we do not see any major reversal signs, better to be with the flow by following strict money as well as risk management.
As far as levels are concerned, we are in uncharted territory and hence, it’s better to go one step at a time.
For this week, the immediate levels can be seen around 14,400-14,550, whereas on the lower side, the cluster of supports can be seen at 14,300-14,150-14,000.
The first sign of real weakness would come only below 14,000-13,900.
At present, the ideal strategy for traders would be to focus on individual stocks by following a strict exit strategy.
Indian market continued with bullish momentum in January after recording 15 percent gains in the year gone by and the possibility of a dip is there but that would not dampen the bullish sentiment, Jyoti Roy, DVP, Equity Strategist, Angel Broking Ltd said in The Market Podcast with Moneycontrol.
Nifty scaled a new all-time high of 14,256 on January 7 but ended flat to negative by 8 points down at 14,137 with minor profit-booking in the last one hour of trade due to weekly expiry.
The broader markets continued their positive momentum as the Midcap index made a record high crossing its previous peak of January 2018.
Bank Nifty is lagging to cross its previous high placed at 32,615 which we believe would be achieved in the current month as the set up is positive.
The advance-decline in the derivatives segment remained strong with 122 advances and 17 declines for the current expiry month-to-date.
The focus now will be on the third-quarter results for FY21 starting from this week and we could see individual price performance with respect to the outcome and guidance from the companies.
Nifty will face resistance near 14,350 being the monthly pivot. Any decline below 13,950 will turn the monthly candle negative and we can expect sharp profit-booking in the index.
Alok Jain, founder of Weekend Investing in D-Street Talk podcast with Moneycontrol explained how he is helping his clients to glide through the volatility in the markets.
After ten consecutive green candles, Nifty closed with a marginal loss of 53 points, or 0.38 percent, on January 6.
On January 6, an intraday dip got bought near the support of 50 percent retracement from its previous intermediate low.
On the weekly chart, the prices have moved up in the unchartered territory. Also, the prices have managed to move above 50-day EMA on the weekly chart, indicating a bullish trend in the price.
Weekly RSI has moved above the previous swing high, which again is an indication of increased bullishness.
Daily RSI (14) continues to settle above its bullish range-shift zone and is currently reading well above 70 levels with bullish crossover.
The market continues to trend higher as bulls are not considering loosening their grip in the short-term.
Going forward, the trend in Nifty may remain bullish to sideways. On the higher end, the rally may extend towards 14,350.

Nifty rallied for more than 85 percent from the lows witnessed in March 2020. The index has managed to sustain above the level of 14,000. It has rallied almost 14 percent above the previous all-time high of 12,430.
However, in the recent rally, momentum oscillator RSI, on the monthly chart, has registered a higher peak and has also broken out from the long-term trendline.
Though Nifty has reached the long-term upward sloping trendline resistance, development on the RSI oscillator indicates the probability of the continuation of an uptrend.
MSCI emerging market, Asian-Ex Japan and world index have broken out from the long-term trendline on their monthly charts.
Breadth indicators such as advance-decline trend, number of 52-week highs and the number of stocks above their 200-day moving averages, hint at a healthy market.
For this week, we expect the Nifty to slowly and gradually head towards 14,150-14,200, whereas the key support zone is placed at 13,950 - 13,850 levels.
Last week, although there was some muted action seen in key indices, the broader market just took off in the last couple of days.
Hence, the real action lies in the broader end of the spectrum which may continue to provide better trading opportunities.
Traders are advised to keep focussing on thematic bets and should ideally avoid aggressive bets in indices.

Indian market continued its winning streak for the fifth consecutive session on December 29 and ended at record highs, led by gains in financial and IT stocks.
Investor sentiment remained upbeat amid positive global cues like stimulus and the Brexit deal.
On the derivatives front, 14,000 levels would be a key hurdle for Nifty in the upcoming sessions as Call writers are holding maximum open interest at 14,000 call strike.
On the downside, 13,800 would act as major support. On the technical front, secondary oscillators suggest that the market is likely to witness intraday volatility as traders will look to book profits at higher levels as we are approaching year-end and monthly expiry of the December series.
So far Nifty has moved more than 7 percent this month while Bank Nifty has surged nearly 5.75 percent.
We expect that bulls are likely to remain on the front foot in the upcoming sessions as well and any dip in the prices should be used to create fresh longs.
Nifty continued its northward journey for the fourth day on the trot in which it gained 124 points to close at yet another new all-time high level.
During this quarter, Nifty has gained 3,500 points or more than 23 percent with four trading days left. This is the highest quarterly gain since the quarter ending June 2009.
During last week, Nifty made a long-legged Doji candlestick bullish reversal pattern on the weekly chart.
This indicates the bulls have overpowered the bears and the intermediate uptrend is intact.
With intermediate and long-term momentum readings like the 14-week and 14-month RSI in rising mode and not showing any signs of negative divergence, we expect the intermediate uptrend to continue.
In the options segment, we have seen Put writing at 13,600 levels. This level also coincides with the 11-day EMA which is placed at 13,600 levels.
Therefore, we believe that the short-term trend will remain intact till the Nifty is trading above 13,600 levels.
It appears that our market overreacted to the global development on December 21, but they also remained at the front in the recovery mode.
We managed to shrug off the negativity and restricted the correction to merely one and a half days. Although the fall was intimidating, it was merely a correction within the larger bull market.
We are now back to the record highs and this week would be quite crucial to understand whether Nifty is heading towards 14,000 or not.
A sustainable move beyond 13,780-13,800 would lead to the continuation of the move towards 14,000-14,200 levels.
On the flip side, 13,626 is the level to watch out for. If we again slide below this support, we may see some corrective move in the concluding week of the current calendar year.
Let's see how things pan out because the last week of the year is generally considered a muted one due to the absence of foreign institutional investors.

The underperforming sector for the last 5 years could well turn out to a Dark Horse in the year 2021 either in physical form or in the financial form in the investors’ portfolio, Sunil Rohokale, MD & CEO, ASK Group said in ‘The Market Podcast’ with Moneycontrol.
Nifty has almost recovered 78.60 percent from its December 21st low. Two back-to-back strong positive closings after a brutal fall indicate we are in a strong bull market and every dip should be utilised as a buying opportunity.
For the last couple of trading sessions, prices have been hovering marginally above their 21-day exponential moving average.
But after a strong rally of about a percent on December 23, prices have settled above the said average and it will be the next support zone for the index.
The weekly candle gives the replica of a hanging man candlestick pattern but one needs to wait for the next week's candle for the confirmation.
Nifty may face a strong resistance near 13,750 and on the lower end, support is placed at 13,300.
As per the daily chart pattern, Bank Nifty is looking weak compared to the benchmark index Nifty.
