    COMMERCIAL BREAK
    SCROLL TO CONTINUE READING

    Diwali Muhurat Technical Picks: Underlying Strategy SAMVAT 2078 has been quite volatile. While our benchmark NIFTY started at the level of 18040 and touched an all-time high of 18350 on 18th Jan’22, things turned for the worse after it hit this all-time high mark.

    Rising valuations, accentuated geopolitical tensions, withdrawal of monetary stimulus from the central banks across the globe, rising interest rate scenario, and rising oil led NIFTY to hit lows of 15183 on 17th Jun’22. On a brighter note, the market has since regained the lost ground with the NIFTY rebounding by 20% and the Sensex by 18%.

    Other lead indices such as Bank NIFTY, Mid Cap, and Small Cap indices, too, have rebounded by 30%, 27% and 34% respectively. Overall, in the last SAMVAT, after hitting all-time highs, the market has rebounded from the lows and then has remained in a broader range of 18300-15500 levels.

    Moving forward, based on the technical parameters, we expect NIFTY to trade positively in SAMVAT 2079. The underlying tone of the market remains bullish with the expected upside of 18500-19000 levels. Major downside supports are placed at 16500-16000 levels.

    • A daily momentum indicator Stochastic has shown a positive crossover on the daily chart which adds more bullishness to the price.
    • As per the above-mentioned technical parameters, we are expecting a bullish move in the Nifty50, so one can buy at CMP 17185 or on dips should be a strategy for the medium to long term with the Support of 16500-15800 while Resistance is placed at 18100-18600 levels.

    "We expect an electrifying and sparkling Muhurat session on cards as dalal street is ignoring weak global cues and focusing on domestic stable and optimistic outlook on micro economic data followed by improving corporate profitability. Technically speaking, with strong base at 17400 Nifty’s immediate hurdle is seen at 17750. Above 17750, all eyes would be on Nifty’s psychological 18000 mark and expect 18100 targets for coming week. On FII’s they too have turned net buyers in cash in the last two sessions which is some kind of support for the positive trend. Overall the short term momentum remains positive despite global concerns. We advise Traders should use buy on dip strategy in these kind of markets scenario. 

    Better than expected Q2 numbers bring more cheer to investors ahead of Diwali and banking space would be highly watched post results last week.  We see Axis bank, Kotak bank and ICICI bank can see gap up openings.  

    This muhurat trading we should focus on Sector like Defence like HAL & BEL, Banking like Axis & SBI and EV Auto’s like Tata Motos & M&M.".

    The stock has been trading in the consolidation range where currently prices are trading at a resistance level. While the overall trend of the stock remains bullish as on quarterly charts prices have given a break above the bullish flag pattern.

    Axis Bank is the third largest private sector bank in India. The Bank offers the entire spectrum of financial services to customer segments covering Large and Mid-Corporates, MSME, Agriculture and Retail Businesses.

    The Bank has a large footprint of 4,758 domestic branches (including extension counters) with 10,990 ATMs & 5,972 cash recyclers spread across the country as of 31st March 2022. Investment Rational- Axis is a very strong Pvt sector bank trading at an attractive valuation (TTM P/B 2.3x FY22 BVPS 356) as compared to its other large listed peers.

    The bank has turned around in the last few years and now stands on a cusp to take advantage of very strong Indian economic growth momentum. The asset quality remains good (Net NPA 0.6%) and valuations remain attractive vis a vis other large listed peers.

    Technical View:

    Infosys The Nifty IT index formed a triple bottom, indicating a short-term base formation, and we can expect a moderate up move in the IT stocks. Infy gave a breakout from a falling wedge pattern on the weekly chart, and the conservative target for the same comes in around 1650. Above that, it is likely to fill the gap and move towards 1800.

    The momentum oscillator MACD gave a fresh buy crossover and RSI also reversed from its oversold territory, which is a positive sign. It also has multi-month support near 1350 and that should be the stop loss. Infosys is a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting. It enables clients in more than 50 countries to navigate their digital transformation.

    It has more than 335,000 employees and has total operating revenue of US $17bn. Investment Rational- INFY reported good Q2 results and contrary to expectation, the company showed margin increase rather than a decline.

    Also the company guided for increased constant currency growth for Fy23 post Q2 results. With INR now at 82 levels, that will act as a buffer for IT companies. INFY also has a huge cash reserve of almost 400bn rupees and dividend yield of 4%. Company has recently announced a buy back also worth Rs9,300cr, its fourth buy back in last six years. It is trading at PE of 28x TTM EPS 53.
