India's Nifty 50 Breaks Out in 2023, Expecting A PauseSo far this year, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (EMXC) is up 17% total return. The performance across EM, including the world’s second-largest economy (China), is not as strong. The iShares Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is up less than 7% with dividends included. Among the standout countries in 2024 is India. Its Nifty 50 Index broke out to fresh all-time highs earlier this month, helping to showcase the broadening out of the equity rally in 2023. The index, heavy into Financials stocks but also with a significant weight to the Information Technology sector, catches macro investors' attention for access to a country with strong population growth trends.
I assert that the Nifty 50 has a bit more room to run, but expectations should be temperated heading into 2024. I took a look at the historical trends on the Nifty 50 Index. In the last 20 years, January and February each have averaged negative total returns with positivity rates below 50%. Investors often must wait until March and April for decent gains. Of course, seasonality comes second to price, so let’s delve into the technical situation and my ‘chart of the week.’
I see some near-term resistance potential around the 22,000 mark. I arrive at that conclusion based on the trading range and breakout from late 2021 through the middle of this year. Resistance was seen near 18,700 while the 2022 low of just under 15,400 made for a range of about 3,400 points. Add that height on top of the breakout point of 18,700, and we get a target of 22,100. That is only about 3% above the current index level. So, while the long-term trend in the Nifty 50 is strong, an early-year pause may be in the works. Investors can play the Nifty 50, albeit with some currency differences, through the iShares India 50 ETF (INDY).
INDY

Portfolio Selected Visuals (PSV) vol IThis is a list of my personal portfolio selected ETFs with the simplest visuals, using MACD as the only technical indicator and the trend lines with breaks or breakdowns to give us a new series of PSV charts. ;-)
Note that these are using Weekly charts, and a break out is qualified when there is a trendline break out accompanied by a MACD crossover (within a week or two).
From left to right...
GDX (Gold Miners ETF) qualified a break out on 31 Oct, after a higher low, but sees to have met resistance (red ellipse)
ILF (LatAm ETF) is still within a trapped range.
XLK (Technology ETF) qualified a break out on 14 Nov, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse) soon after.
GXC (China ETF) qualified a break out on 28 Nov, after a higher low. Appears to have another break out above a resistance line.
XLE (Energy ETF) qualified a break out on 17 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have broke down of support/resistance (red ellipse).
INDY (India ETF) qualified a break out on 31 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse).
XME (Metal Mining ETF) qualified a break out on 24 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse).
EWS (Singapore ETF) qualified a break out on 14 Nov, without a higher low, and further qualified a better stronger break out pattern on 28 Nov.
From this set of visuals, GXC and EWS are the front runners. GDX appears a close third.
India INDY ETF bounced off supportAn interesting observation here...
The weekly chart for INDY has recent bullish candlestick patterns after bouncing off a long term support level at 41.50. This is the second test in 2022, and the bounce closed above the next (gap) resistance level, above 43. The technical indicators are turning bullish, as RPM tuned up for a crossover.
The daily chart shows the past two weeks series of higher lows and higher highs and a gap up, marubozu-like candlestick. Technical indicators crossed over bullish, and are supportive of a test on the EMA band.
Taken together, there appears to be a 8-15% upside off this support bounce.
Interesting time juncture...
Stay well and stay safe!
DOID will rally soon. be ready :)DOID akan rally menyelesaikan Falling Wedgenya.
Kita dapat melihat DOID sudah 3 hari mengalami kenaikan berturut-turut, apabila kita gabung 3 candle ini menjadi 1 maka candle ini boleh dikatakan jadi candle marubozu.
Candle yang menandakan strong bullish.
Buy Area: 244 - 260 (MAX)
