Technicals for week ending – 02nd February 2018.

Note : This is not a recommendation and I am not a registered analyst, these are just data points and an asses.ment of the positives and negatives from a longer term point of view.

Nifty Weekly

Chart 1. For the short term, had mentioned last week that it looks a bit stretched as we had 2 consecutive weekly closes above the standard 20/2 Bollinger Bands. Below is the weekly chart on different timeframes and the 3 week chart looks ominous with that pinbar action. For now, keeping an eye out on 10500 as short-term support. We are in all time high territory so basic logic and common sense says uptrend intact on longer time-frame. The index is still above its rising 40 week moving average – keeping the trailing stops for now. As for underlying stocks from the Nifty 500, less than 20% are trading more than 20% of 52 week highs.


Chart 2 Nifty total returns/10 year Bond index ratio is above its 40-week MA & momentum also favours Nifty index, indicating longer term outperformance for Nifty vs bonds.

Chart 3 Longer term intermarket strength as per the RS matrix is in IT & Metals. With Auto and  Pharma at the bottom.

Chart 4 All indices except Pharma are above their 40-week MA.

Chart 5 Avg. & Median distance of all sectors from their 52-week closing high is at -6.5% & -5.6%.


Chart 6 FII flows in Index futures segment is positive.
