Tech View: Nifty forms small bodied bullish candle. What traders should do on Thursday

Headline equity index Nifty today formed a small bodied bullish candle on the daily frame with a longer lower shadow, indicating support-based buying. It has been forming higher highs from the last four sessions. “Now, it has to hold above 18350 zones, for an up move towards 18500 then 18600 zones whereas supports are placed at 18250 and 18188 zones,” said Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal.Option data suggests a broader trading range in between 18000 to 18800 zones while an immediate trading range in between 18200 to 18600 zones.Indicators such as RSI and MACD are showing strength and are sustaining.

As the domestic market has started to trade around the all-time high levels it is trending indecisively following the recent geopolitical tensions and weak performance by global counterparts. Although domestic macroeconomic indicators and FII inflows are favourable, given the high valuations, domestic markets can behave cautious in the short to medium-term. Rest of the other EMs look more attractive when the global market is attempting to bounce back after a long period of consolidation.

Rupee drops in line with Asian FX, corporate dollar demand seen

The Indian rupee weakened on Wednesday as sustained corporate demand pushed the U.S. dollar up, while weakness in Asian stocks and currencies spilled over to domestic markets. The rupee declined 0.25% to 81.2975 per dollar. It has shed nearly a percent from its high of 80.51 on Monday, with volatility gripping markets this week. There is a huge cash dollar demand in both the spot and forwards markets, a trader with a private said, adding that foreign banks are likely buying on behalf of their importer clients. A decline in USD/INR forward premiums made it attractive for importers to hedge, leading to more dollar outflows. The cost of hedging 6-month dollar was down 25 basis points this week.

Gold prices steadied near a three-month peak as signs of cooling U.S. inflation boosted bets for smaller rate hikes, while reports around Russian missiles killing two people in Poland led to some demand for safe-haven assets. The United States and Western allies said they were investigating but could not confirm a report that a blast in NATO member Poland resulted from stray Russian missiles, while Russia’s defence ministry denied it. Volatility was a bit high in the yesterday’s session as apart from fed officials comments we also had the U.S. PPI and NY state manufacturing index. The U.S. PPI increased 8.0% for the 12 months through October compared with economist expectations for 8.3%. While the NY empire state manufacturing index was positive showing the level of general business conditions improving in NewYork. After two fed officials hinting a slowdown in the pace of rate hike, Fed official Bostic mentioned that more hikes will be needed to get the inflation down to the Fed’s target rate. Focus today will be on the U.S. Retail sales and IIP data. Broader trend on COMEX could be in the range of $1740-1800 and on domestic front prices could hover in the range of Rs. 52,700-53,400 could be expected.

Consolidation inside the 18480-350 region continues, with dips finding buying interest on anticipated lines, with rallies fizzling out before they mature. Favoured view expects positive bias to linger on, aiming for 18460 or18530 initially. Inability to float above 18360 early in the day, would however force us to revert to a neutral stance.

Bullish momentum continues in the market. A good indicator of the bullish sentiments is the decline in the volatility index VIX from above 18 in October to around 14.6 now. The US CBOE VIX also is on a downtrend. This, along with steadily falling US yields strengthens the bullish construct for equity markets. Since the Nifty is only around 1% away from all-time highs a final dash to a new record can happen anytime. Profit booking and correction is likely after that. Since the drivers of the current rally are high quality large-caps particularly in banking and IT, mid and small-caps are unlikely to participate in the ongoing rally. Investors may stick with quality. Two Russian missiles landing in Poland killing two civilians has emerged as a new near-term concern whether it will escalate the Ukraine war.
