Technical Outlook.. NSE Nifty Weekly Bar Chart

TECHNICAL SECTORAL
The Nifty scaled new lifetime highs (11856), on expected lines in Resistance @ 11856

PICK
April 2019, followed by consolidation (11850–11550), which is a
normal phenomenon after 18.5% rally in the past six months.

MONTHLY MOMENTUM
Anxiety around General Elections has always triggered volatility in
the past. However, markets always steer clear of it once anxiety
settles down, irrespective of the outcome. During the past three
General Elections we observed, Nifty exhibits a robust performance Key support
post the election phase, which makes us confident that volatility threshold
@10900
owing to major event would present a good opportunity to build a
long term portfolio, as we do not foresee the Nifty going below its
key support base of 10900 around election outcome. Therefore,
investors should start accumulating quality midcap stocks in a
staggered manner.
Over the past 14 sessions Nifty Midcap retraced 78.6% retracement
of the preceding five session rally. A shallow price correction along
with elongated time consolidation form key ingredients of a healthy
corrective phase and reaffirms the overall bullish price structure.

Sectoral Indices – Relative to benchmarks

Relative Strength Comparative: Evaluating the underlying strength

TECHNICAL SECTORAL
PICK
• To closely gauge the underlying strength in the respective sectors vis-à-vis the benchmark, we analyse the Relative Strength Comparative (RSC) indicator. As the name suggests, it is a
comparative measure of strength vis-à-vis a benchmark or a sector

MONTHLY MOMENTUM
• While the RSC line is rising, the sector is outperforming the general market i.e. it is either rising faster than the benchmark in an up trending market or going down less, in a down
trending market or even rising. While the RSC line is falling, the sector is underperforming the broad equity market. If the market is going up, the sector is going up less or may be even
going down. If the market is going down when the RSC line is falling, the sector is going down more than the market. A flat RSC line indicates in line market performance going up or
down by the same magnitude

• The purpose of this exercise is to identify those sectors that are outperforming and avoid sectors that are underperforming
