Fibonacci and Trendline resistance stopping Nifty.Last 4 days the fibonacci resistance and the trend line resistance are stopping Nifty from going ahead and growing ahead. This resistance is at 23338. If we get a closing above this level doors for the next Fibonacci resistance and target will open. In that case Nifty can reach 23450, 23542 or even 23897. In case the resistance acts and blocks Nifty from going further the support levels will be at 23205, 23060, 22772 and 22555 (50 Days EMA, Mother Line). Below this zone Bears will get some power and can drag Nifty to 22146, 21825, 21355 (200 Days EMA, Father Line) or even 21282. Let us see how US FED Pause is taken by the market tomorrow. There is also a talk by FED 1 rate cut during 2024. Nasdaq as of Now is positive indicating rally in IT continuing a little bit but let us see how it goes.
23350 not giving up!!22350 is being protected on daily close basis. For how long will this status quo hold is the big question. Perhaps will hold till Expiry and then there could be a directional move. Big time build up in 23400 calls for this week and puts for next week. So Market could stay below the radar tomorrow and fly after that.
Low of today is very critical support for Nifty.Low of today 23206 is very critical support for Nifty. If that is broken tomorrow or later during this week. It will be a typical sign of a top or double top formation. Indicating weakness which can find Nifty searching for supports. Supports for Nifty from current level are at 23206, 23074, 22995 (Mother Line Very Important support 50 hours EMA), Most critical support zone for Nifty In case of double top formation will be between 22712 and 22616(Father Line support 200 hours EMA). Below this zone will be Bear territory which can drag Nifty to 22408, 22094 or even 21268. On the positive side if the levels of 23206 is not broken. The resistances on the upper side or targets for Nifty can be 23339, 23412, 23542 or even 23700+(23500+ looks little optimistic rather than realistic looking at current formation of the chart.) There are some important events like US Fed rate hike decision. If there is no rate cut announced or if the commentary of US FED chairperson there is a possibility of profit booking by all counters. In case of a rate hike (unlikely) the Bull run can end for now. Watch out the Macro and Micro events like US FED Meeting and any development on allies of the ruling coalition in India behaving mischievously with caution. keep proper stop losses in place.
Could not sustain ATH as Fibo level pulls Nifty back. Nifty after making a new all time high 23411 could not sustain the levels, as the Fibonacci resistance at previous high of 23338 pulled it back. Important resistance levels for Nifty now is the zone between 23338 and 23411. If the Nifty is able to give a closing above 23411 the next resistance will be channel and trend top near 23518. 23518 will be another tough resistnace to conquer. If this resistance is taken down the door towards the Nifty fibonacci level target of 23897 will open. On the lower side the support levels for Nifty are near 23229, 23159 and 23081. Below 23081 Nifty will become weak. Final supports for Nifty will be at 22895 and 22629. Below 22629 there is pure bear territory. Closing below 22629 (Unlikely for now) will end the current Bull run.

Comments :
Post Elections, only way Market will start grow higher by reduction of interest rate by RBI on a staggered manner till it reaches 5%. US fed rate reduction also expected from Jun/ Sep 2024. Market may correct if any global news till 19500 as there is strong multiple fib support in this range.
Nifty IT 35218(32420) broke the Major support at 33350 and went down upto 32420. Tech stocks revived in last two trading session. Nifty IT Stocks like TCS, Infosys, Wipro gave muted results in Q4 2024. Can be added for short rally as it fell sharply, however strictly for long term and also in portions slowly on each fall ( say 5-10% of total investment in IT stocks). Whenever there is such dips and new lows ( in the last 1 year) We can add slowly considering 2-3 years. It need to break above 35786 ( Fib) to reach 38000 needed to further move up. Future of technology stocks are in high pressure due to AI as it is reflecting in US and Indian technology stocks.
every dip of individual stocks (2-5% of portfolio on each purchase for long term)As mentioned in the past 1.5 month, nifty reached the near term target 22819 (Fibonacci extended resistance target) again and crossed the resistance decisively and touched 23000. Nifty PE 22.2 below the 3 year Historical Average of 22.5.
Nifty nearing Channel top again, Can it break the glass ceiling?Nifty is nearing the Channel top again, Can it break the glass ceiling is the question the current top of the channel remains somewhere between 23303 to 23422. If we get a closing above 23422 the floodgates / glass ceiling towards new Nifty highs will be broken. The door towards new record highs of 23772 or even 24369 will be open. In case Nifty is not able to cross 23303 or 23422 the support levels for Nifty will be at 23091, 22793, strong support of 22762 (50 hours EMA) and 22580 even stronger support of (200 hours EMA). Nifty rally turns negative and bears come out of comma if we get a closing below 22500 (Very unlikely). In that case bears can drag the Nifty towards 21984 or 21577 region.
Doji candle formed in Nifty today. Does it indicate upside?Today we saw a formation of Doji candle in Nifty. Doji candles indicates uncertainty. Colour of the Doji candle shows the bias which is green as of now. So the bias still remains positive with formation of stable government on cards. However on any new or noise from coalition allies the Bears can make a strong comeback. Doji today indicates that Bears are also equally active and are waiting for their chance of action. So be aware / be conservative in your choice of stocks. In terms of Cricket if we consider this a T-20 match this pitch is not a 200+ pitch. It is rather a green top where if a team scores 150-170 runs they can be difficult to chase. So what should investors do? They should keep stop losses. Stop losses are the best friends. Keep stop losses and trailing stop losses. Stop losses protect your capital. Trailing stop losses protect your profits.
Nifty Resistance Levels: 22910, 23053, 23192, 23338.
Nifty Support Levels: 22630, 22456, 22139, 21781 and 21277.
Below 21277 is a bear territory and absolute hunting ground of bears.
Very Powerful Comeback Candle sort of Bullish Harami.Nifty made a massive comeback today after the dust of election result settled. Whether NDA's comeback to power and can the Bull Run sustain is the key question. Both are interlinked as of now it seems. However on the technical grounds the formation on chart between yesterday and today's candle is a sort of Bullish Harami (Positive Candle formation). A positive candle formation in the next trading session will confirm the formation. Now the supports for Nifty are at 21261 (Father Line) and 200 EMA, 22139 (Mid channel support), 22413 (Mother Line) and 50 EMA and 22456. Resistances on the upper side for Nifty will be 22695, 22855, 23053, 23192 and finally 23338 (ATH Resistance).
Nifty closing this week looks like Calm before the storm.FII, DII and Retail investors are all awaiting Exit Polls and Actual results of election to follow thereafter. We have already discussed the best and the worst case scenarios. The candle formed today is Doji exhibiting indecisiveness. The support at which Nifty is standing is Mid channel. The other support which has been taken is 50 days EMA. Right now everything looks in balance. Lot of overpriced stocks corrected. Lot of underpriced stocks which gave good results exceled. Many more underpriced Banking and IT stocks are looking like value buys. Many overvalued Psu stocks look like them might again run further in case of expected results. Everything looks like it is on a tipping point. + or - 5 to 10% move depending on results is a definite possibility. DIIs have been buying all the way. FIIs have been selling all the way. Perfect recipe for a thriller to unfold next week. Everything is on a standstill. This weekend might be a calm before the storm.
Nifty Supports: 22392, 22057, 21827, 21712 and 21221. (Worst case scenario 17597 in case the expected results are not seen in election).
Nifty Resistances: 22672, 22829, 23140, 23226 and 23398. (Best case scenario between 23500-23600).
Nifty Enters crucial Support Zone. Nifty has entered Important support zone. This zone extends from 22495 to 22386. Today's low of 22417 is also a very important level below which we will have only the support level of 22386 which is the 50 days EMA. Below 22386 bears will try their best to drag the Index to the levels of 21712 or even 21208. (This looks improbable as of now but you never know). DII was buying even today in this drastic fall while FII are selling relentlessly. With only 1 day left before we will have exit polls and then the actual election results on 4th June. Investors should brace for a few more days of volatility. If the result go against popular opinion then we can see further lower levels which are mentioned above. RSI has taken a turn and Mid channel has provided a support as of today. Resistance on the upper side are 22508 and 22829.
Further correction likelyNifty traded in the daily fair value gap and taking resistance at the mid of the long term upward channel yesterday. There are 2 scenarios that could play out. The unlikely of the 2 is it breaks the resistance trend line and move up towards the top of the channel. The second more likely scenario is that it could test the bottom of the fair value gap OR even come lower to test the order block below that. 22600 or 22500 could be likely in this case.
Safe traders might withdraw their money form the market and wait for election results. This could trigger a deeper retracement.
Consolidation and profit booking phase in Nifty. Nifty is seeing a consolidation and Profit booking phase after making a new All Time high. There was a massive pressure seen across indices. This phase and volatility which we have seen off late can continue for a while till election results are declared and a little bit post results too. FMCG and Pharma were the only 2 indices which withstood the selling pressure but broader markets were seen bleeding a bit specially the cash counters. Next one week or so will test the patience of investors and speculation should be avoided. Stay away from high risk counters and derivatives if you are not an expert. Support for Nifty can be seen near 22864 which is rather a weak support. Next support is near 22767 which is considerably strong support of 50 Hours EMA (Mother line). If 22767 is broken further support can be found only near 22602 and 22489. This zone is a strong support zone having mid channel support of the current channel and 200 hours EMA. Resistance on the upper side for Nifty are at 22937, 22999 and 23053. Above 23053 Nifty will become little strong and Bulls can further take the index to 23108 or 23150 levels which will be a strong channel top resistance.
Nifty Short, Medium, Long Term 28-May-24 to 31-May-24Nifty Short, Medium, Long Term 28-May-24 to 31-May-24
Nifty closed at 22932 (22466) and touched low & high of 22409 & 23022
RSI and stochastics levels was up from last week (66 % & 86% Respectively). Stochastic in over bought levels (>90%) on 26-May-24 and started reducing on 27-May-24
Anticipation in Political results lifted the market as exit poll started coming. As mentioned in the past 1.5 month, Post govt budget, current govt proposed 100 days plan will lead the market in coming days. Investment decision is mixed as market will be highly volatile due to the above factors. Hence those people have high risk can sell partial stocks and book profit, those have more money to invest can wait for small dips to invest.
As far as my opinion, if market touching 24000 can book partial profit and can wait for market to correct as there is a strong resistance in that zone.

ATH Breakout for Nifty but has the rally got more steam?Major ATH All Time high Breakout for Nifty today however Nifty could not cross the much coveted level of 23K. Can Nifty do to it tomorrow? has it got the steam? RSI is high indicating that Nifty is getting overbought and valuations of a lot of stocks are very pricey. However there might still be opportunity left in a few Large cap stock specially IT, Banking and Finance space which have fallen out of favour of investors lately. Valuations in some PSU, Mid and Small Case space are questionable currently and we advise keeping a strict trailing stop loss wherever you have good profit.
Remember nobody has ever become a pauper by booking profits. Keep strict trailing Stop Losses. They are best friends. Loss in Profit is ok but Profit to loss is not ok.
Nifty Major Supports levels: 22784, 22507 and 22298.
Major Future resistance levels: 22293, 23060, 23208 and 23407.
Flying Index, Strolling Future!Nifty FUT does not seem keen to move up and that is a little worrisome. We are at striking distance to ATH but the timing is not to brilliant. Election results are still a couple of weeks away. We could move up a little and then retrace to consolidate near the 50% mark. This looks like a logical scenario. But informed institutions could take big positions and that could go against any narrative. Will trade only after watching for a while.
Macro Monday 47 – Major Trading Opportunities In IndiaMacro Monday 47 – Major Trading Opportunities In India
10 Reasons why you need to pay special attention to India’s economy
Before I start there will be major market opportunities in India that will present over the coming 12 - 36 months in India. As an investor or trader, you cannot ignore this market.
1. India is on track to become the world's 3rd largest economy by 2027, surpassing Japan and Germany (currently India is 5th). This provides a major 3 - 5 year potential investment opportunity in Indian index funds and specific stocks in India.
2. India overtook China as the most populous nation in world in April 2024 (1.435b vs 1.425b).
3. Approximately 65% of India’s population is below the age of 35, and half are below the age of 25. In years to come this will represent a larger innovative workforce with the potential for higher productivity and increased consumer demand from this younger demographic.
4. India has the fastest GDP growth in the world. A minimum of 6% in GDP growth is expected over the next five years, separating it from both the broader emerging market cohort and from slower-growing developed markets. We noted on last weeks Macro Monday that Brazil’s GDP growth was expected to range between 2 – 2.9%, India’s GDP is expected grow at twice this rate.
5. In the shorter term India has a major domestic election concluding in June 2024. Between 1999 – 2019 India's Nifty 50 Stock Index historically tended to exhibit a positive trend six months preceding and following federal elections. A 20.5%+ increase prior to Election conclusion, 3%+ one month after election and 14.4% in the 6 months post-election. Election Season is great for the Indian Stock Market and we are right in the middle of it.
6. India has emerged as a global economic player striking deals with the US, Russian and China, having exceptional relations with all three. India actively participates in international forums and in shaping economic policies. Its presidency of the G20 in 2023 showcased its economic prowess and diplomatic finesse. This all translates into India showcasing that it is in growth mode, but more importantly, that it is economically stable, diverse and reliable.
7. According to Blackrock their emerging market ETF inflows into Indian indexes exceeded $4.4b in 2023 whilst total flows into all other EM countries ETF's combined to only $1.1b, clearly demonstrating a major influx of capital into India ahead of other EM's.
8. Indian equities earnings estimates are predicting a market with potentially prolonged and stable earnings growth. Analysts are expecting general Indian equities to post 13.8% earnings growth in the next 12 months and 14.4% in the next 18 months. Longer-term estimates call for 14.5% year-over-year earnings growth by year-end 2026. There is an incredible opportunity for TA chartist’s and investors to move into individual stock selection with the wind at their backs as the Indian Economy moves into what maybe its golden economic era.
9. Over the past two decades, India’s main stock benchmark, the Nifty 50, has offered 15.0% annualized returns in USD terms, more than double the 6.8% offered by the majority of other global Indexes and this is expected to continue.
10. India has made remarkable progress in reducing extreme poverty. Between 2011 and 2019, the share of the population living in extreme poverty was halved. This trend emulates what China achieved between 1990 and 2011 when they halved the amount of people living in extreme poverty in China. In the decade that followed China became the world’s second-largest economy, surpassing Japan. As mentioned in No.1 above, India is expected to become the 3rd largest economy in the word, overtaking Japan by 2027.
Now that we have a good understanding of this major positive macro-economic trend in India, let’s have a look at some general indices where some great opportunities are present.
Please note that India is firmly on my Radar now and more specific equities charts will be posted as I discover them.

The Chart
▫️ The India NIFTY Mid Cap Select Index chart is more promising than the Ishares MSCI India ETF.
▫️ There is a defined upward channel under which the 21 week SMA is providing support.
▫️We have broken recent highs, local resistance and a have a DSS Bressert Cross turning up. All three are bullish signals.
▫️A great risk reward set up is available here at 11:1. You can alter this to suit your risk tolerance or how long you want to remain in the trade. I would be inclined to lower the stop because the RR is weighted heavily to the upside.
▫️It is possible that we get a retest of the breakout area also, but given the DSS Bressert Cross and upwards momentum, I lean more directly bullish.
Indian Rupee (INR) Currency Risk
There is a currency risk with the second trade in the NIFTY Mid Cap Select Index as it is denominated in the Indian Rupee (INR) which has been on a long term decline against the USD since Aug 2011. If we were to move to the bottom of the current long term pennant we could lose c.5% in currency devaluation in this trade. This could happen over a couple of months, so its something to keep an eye on.
Here is the INR/USD Chart for reference:
Summary:
There is a unique opportunity to make significant returns from one of the largest and fastest growing countries in the world.
I listed 10 reasons why India's economy has major promise:
1. Projected to 3rd largest Economy by 2027
2. Largest Population in the world (since Apr 2024)
3. 50% of population are <25 years of age, 65%<35
4. Fastest GDP growth in the world at 6%
5. Election Season = 14 - 17% return historically
(within 8 months of current juncture in May 2024)
6. India's presidency of the G20 in 2023 showcased its economic prowess and diplomatic finesse.
7. Three times more capital flowing into India ETF's vs other emerging market ETF's
8. Analysts predict 14.5% YoY growth in Indian Equities.
9. Over the past two decades India's Nifty 50 has offered 15.0% annualized returns in USD terms
10. In India the share of the population living in extreme poverty was halved between 2011-2019
We then looked at two India Indexes that are looking very positive and have a great risk:reward trade set ups in the $NIFTY_MI and the $INDA. We also covered off some of the indexes individual holdings as these might be worth looking at.
Finally we created awareness of the currency risk that exists on the $NIFTY_MI chart. If we want to take advantage of this blooming economy in more specific and targeted ways, we will likely need to trade in the Indian Rupee XETR:INR at some stage. So we need to be familiar with the chart and the currency. We projected that it could decline by 5% against the dollar over a 6 - 12 month period so this should be factored in. This is not a prediction. It could show strenght against the dollar and break out of its downward pennant. Time will tell.
All these charts are available on my Tradingview Page and you can go to them at any stage over the next few years press play and you'll get the chart updated with the easy visual guide to see how the South America market has performed. I hope its helpful.
