Reading the charts and Learning Techno-Funda Analysis. We will continue our weekly study of reading charts Today we will try to understand how to read the chart of Reliance Industries and learn how to make assumptions based on the same. First thing that one must understand that reading the charts is not a rocket science. One has to be creative, attentive and a sort of meditative while reading a chart. When you keep looking at it with focus and keep on asking the question and reasoning behind the moves you will definitely get your answers. Thus by asking the question to the chart and by observing the chart and searching fo the answers by noticing the patterns, historic layouts, supports, resistances and applying certain amount of basic maths and common sense one can come to know about the risk is to reward ratio in buying a stock or a derivative. Let us have a look at the Weekly chart of Reliance Industries. Remember we are not recommending this stock we are learning how to read the chart. The purpose of article was is purely Educational.
The First thing that I observe here is that trend line provided the stock is moving in a particular parallel channel. Many of the stocks do move in channels. Reliance hit the channel top at 1608 and has been correcting and searching for bottom ever since. The low that it made was 1217 where it found a support at a trend line. After that it again tried to move upwards but faced a resistance near 1316 and corrected again this week until it found a support on the same trend line today at 1239 and bounced again to close the day and week at 1272.85. Again the resistances for reliance will be near 1316, 1355 and then 1380. 1380 will be a difficult resistance to conquer as it is the 50 Weeks EMA or the Mother line of weekly chart. 1380 currently also happens to be the mid channel resistance. Making it again a difficult resistnace to conquer. Above 1380 Reliance becomes very strong and can go to 1442, 1530 and 1602. Channel top seems to be at 1770.
Supports for Reliance seems to be at 1241, 1218 and the zone between 1174 and 1181. This zone seems to be a very strong support as 1181 is 200 Weeks EMA and 1174 is the channel bottom support. So in all likely hood in case there is a closing below 1241 this is the zone where the stock can end up. MACD is in the negative zone but it is starting to turn towards positive zone. However there is still some distance to go before the moving averages converge and becomes positive. RSI of the stock 35.37 and looks bearish. RSI support zone can be the zone around 30.
Fundamentally Reliance as we all know is one of the premier Indian company with a market cap of Rs.1722468.1 Cr. Price to Earning ratio of the stock is 25.6 which can be considered moderate valuation. Negative aspects of Reliance are that promoter holding of the stock decreased slightly by 0.1%. Net cash flow is again a slight issue currently alsong with fall in QonQ revenue. Positive aspects of the company are that Net profit has grown along with profit margins QonQ. Reliance is a company with low debt. Reliance has Zero promoter pledge. MFs have increased their shareholding in last quarter. Why I mentioned the fundamentals of the stock here is because when you buy a stock you need to look at the Fundamentals of the stocks along with Technical analysis. That is Techno-Funda analysis of a stock in true sense.
I sincerely hope that this write-up will help you in reading the charts, understanding the importance of charts and understanding fundamentals of the company.

What Stopped the recovery of Bank Nifty? (Educational Post)How to read a chart and make one is an art which one can master by practicing, understanding the patterns and applying logic in addition to reasoning. Today we will try to master this art with the help of below chart of Bank Nifty. Let us analyze it togther. After reading each paragraph try to look at the chart again for understanding it better. Look at the chart of Bank nifty above.
As you can see in the chart Bank Nifty is moving in a parallel channel like a canal since more than 1 year and 3 months or so. After making a high above 48.6K Bank Nifty formed a bottom near 44833 which was a 200 days EMA support, Bank Nifty consolidated and then started surging ahead. Now something happened on Wednesday which hampered the progress.
The progress was stopped by the trendline resistance indicated by the blue line. Facing the heat of the resistance Bank Nifty plunged down only to be supported by support zone between 46219 and 46418. This support zone as you can see in the chart consist ot bottoms and tops of few candles ranging from 4th December 2023 to 20th February 2024 and 50 days EMA which is currently at 46219. This can be the future support zone in case Nifty does not recover from this level.
Again after taking this support Nifty tried to surge ahead again but was again stopped by the same trend line which cam to effect on Wednesday. Start of this trend line can be seen on the candle of 16th January. This is how Technical analysis works.
Can we predict future of Bank Nifty with the help of this chart? Predicting future moves is always risky and is full of assumptions but what we can see here indicates that crossing the resistance zone of 47091 (Trendline resistance) and High of Wednesday 47352 will be a tough task for Bank Nifty. But if Bank Nifty crosses this zone the next levels/ resistances will be near 47670 or 47906. Crossing and closing above 47906 the Nifty can reach the next resistance levels of 48303 or 48595.
This is how you can analyse a chart. By applying logic you will gain experience. By applying experience and reasoning you will gain wisdom. Wisdom will help you in chartering your path through the maze of Wealth creation. Charts are nothing but mathematical representation of how investors/speculators behave at particular levels and in particular zones. With the help of charts you can understand paths, patterns and future and past directions of how markets/indices/stocks behave. If you become an expert by watching/drawing 100 charts every day, you can even predict future levels of markets/indices/stocks.
