Nifty: Early signs of a bull market


First random thought this morning
Various TV channels and newspapers carried elaborate debates and presentations on the performance of the incumbent government in past 2years. I found nothing convincing.
The people arguing for the government sounded like class 2 students who has just learnt the table of 2. The people against mostly rhetorical and blabbered non-sense. None offered any solution or constructive suggestion.
 
Thought for the day
"In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so."
—Immanuel Kant (German, 1724-1804)
Word for the day
Fard (v)
To apply cosmetics to (the face)
Malice towards none
Why the second term for governor Rajan is a matter of debate?
To be fair, the government has not only let him complete his term but also extended full support by allowing him to pursue his agenda and design for the Indian financial system.
The government, which is ultimately accountable to the people of the country, should be freely allowed to find a better person, if they could, for the job.
 
Nifty: Early signs of a bull market

As I expected (see here), the market belied the conventional wisdom trend "Sell in May and go away", and is already higher by ~4% from April's closing. However, despite this smart outperformance, the market lacks sufficient momentum needed to make a decisive directional move.

For now the market has successfully averted any chance of a sharp correction and 7490 on Nifty seems to be a confirmed cyclical bottom. I may therefore reiterate that the cyclical top target may occur around 13400 level before August 2019, i.e., 39months after May 2016.

There are enough signs of a bull market developing. The outperformance of the large cap is a typical first phase of any sustainable bull market.

The poor volumes and persistently low volatility suggest that for now the rally may not be consistent and we may witness many more sessions of higher intraday volatility. Any sharp dip in next 8weeks will be a good opportunity to create leverage positions with 6months perspective.

This week Nifty faces strong resistance in 8260-8330 range and would have equally strong support in 7860-7930 range.
Bank Nifty looks good for the target of 18K+, with a strong support at 16860 level.
