Entry Point

Last week, the BSE benchmark jumped 1,906.33 points, or 2.38 percent, and the NSE Nifty climbed 546.7 points, or 2.26 percent. The upmove came even as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept key interest rate unchanged due to “high inflation”.

In the frenzied debate about what is happening to the Nifty and Sensex and why, many are probably missing the big picture. What is the total number of investors participating in the stock market ecosystem directly or indirectly today – as compared to, say, 2020? And what do their numbers mean to the companies in this ecosystem? Here are a few important questions, and their answers: Has the stock market ecosystem changed? Yes. Is every player in it equal? No. Will their journey of growth and risk be equal? No. But will all of them grow? The answer is yes. Some will grow more, some less. Some will grow every year at the same pace, others will have phases where there will be headwinds and growth will fall short of the street’s expectations. But their bottom lines will surely grow.

The most surprising aspect was the total absence of any news or even rumours as to why the Nifty got flung around so much. But it did create a resistance zone near 24,600 which became a point to cross

Nifty In Technical Charts: Rally Is Tentative Yet

“We have witnessed a significant recovery in Nifty midcap, smallcap, and even largecap stocks that had seen significant corrections. Most sectors have recovered from their recent lows, so we believe the upward trajectory could extend. A positional target for Nifty is 25,000 to 25,200.”

The markets have paused at a critical point. The Nifty has closed above the 50-DMA, currently at 24,548, and is just below the 100-DMA at 24,707. This level also aligns with the 20-week MA at 24,720 on the weekly chart. Therefore, unless the Nifty closes significantly above 24,720, the 24,700-24,750 range should be considered an immediate key resistance for the markets on a closing basis.

“On the weekly expiry day, Nifty exhibited extreme volatility, trading within a 562-point range, marking the widest daily range in the last eight sessions. The index saw a sharp 244-point fall in the first half, finding support near the 100-day EMA and subsequently staging an impressive 565-point rally.”

As the market recovers from a phase of volatility, investors with high exposure to mid-cap stocks will face the same old dilemma. Should I sell? Should I buy more? The first question arises because your portfolio would have seen a big decline in October-November. So, as the market recovers, the first instinct is to suspect the rally – and also to protect gains. Now to question two: In the past 10 years, every time a correction has taken place, the recovery phase has taken the Nifty and broader market to higher levels. So, there are investors who have taken a risk at the time of recovery and have gained significantly. Now, beyond all this, a key point: Before you decide to buy or sell, be clear about what you are buying/selling – and why.

“The rationalization measures are designed to curb excessive speculation and improve market stability, though expiry-day trading will inherently remain volatile. While these adjustments may help reduce extreme fluctuations, challenges like sharp intraday swings and sudden reversals are likely to persist due to the high trading volume and market participants adjusting their positions. Experienced traders may adapt with more refined strategies, but expiry days will likely continue to be a high-risk endeavor for others.”

In Nifty futures trading, Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE) and Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE) are key metrics to assess trade performance. MAE represents the maximum unrealized loss before a winning trade was closed, while MFE shows the highest unrealized gain during a position. Analyzing both helps refine stop-loss and profit-taking strategies, and can improve overall trading outcomes by identifying optimal risk and reward levels.

Mastering Derivatives: Understanding Price Excursions

The new BSE Select Business Group Index and related funds (like Tata MF and Aditya Birla Sun Life MF) focus on concentrated exposure to the top 30 companies from seven major Indian conglomerates, offering a niche thematic investment option. While the index has outperformed broader indices like Nifty and Sensex in longer time horizons, it lacks sector diversification, notably excluding high-performing sectors like healthcare and financials, which could impact future returns. Despite the high risk and concentration of these funds, they offer potential for growth in large-cap conglomerates but require careful monitoring before investment.
