Trading Review: Reiterate Buy on IDFC at Close Above Rs.147/- Mark


Short-term Trading Call: A Buy Call on IDFC is Reiterated if it manages to Close above Rs.147/- mark. A bullish Mat Hold indicator & an Ascending Triangle Pattern emerging on the IDFC Daily charts point towards a Bullish breakout once the stock settles above Rs.147 on Closing basis.

Reference: IDFC Buy Call on this blog on September 14, 2009

The stock has Consolidated for about 5 days since a Trading Buy call was initiated on this blog on Sept 14. However, during this consolidation phase of last 5 days, a unique pattern of bullish Mat Hold indicator seems to have emerged on the Daily charts of IDFC.


Mat Hold Indicator: (Refer Blue Rectangle in Above Chart)


Investopedia.com defines Mat Hold Pattern as, "A pattern found in the technical analysis of stocks that ultimately indicates the stock will continue its previous directional trend (bullish or bearish). The pattern is initially indicated by a significant trading day in one direction or another, followed by three small opposite trending days. The fifth day then continues the first day's trend, pushing higher or lower, in the same direction as the first day's movement."


The Mat Hold Pattern of Candle stick charts is characterized by 5 day pattern with Signs of Consoldiation & then a Reversal, which can be described as below:


Day 1: The First day is marked by a long white candle (Up day) where the Closing of the day is way above the opening of the day, in effect, creating a long Real Body (with or without shadows).

Day 2: The Second day is characterized by a gap-up opening. However, the second day closes below the Opening price, in effect, creating a Red candle (as shown in above charts) with relatively small Real body as compared to that of the First day.

Day 3 and 4: Similarly, the 3rd and the 4th days are characterized by closes that are slightly below their respective opening for the day, in effect, creating another 2 Red candles with small Real body as compared to that of the First day. However, a common typical feature that reflects on Day 3 and 4 signifies a brief period of down trend but within the range of the stock price movement which is recorded on Day1.

Day 5: The Fifth day is characterized by a bullish formation of long white candle either engulfing the coverage of price movement of last 3 days or a Close above the closing levels recorded on the 1st Day of long white candle.

Apart from bullish Mat hold Pattern, an Ascending Triangle Pattern is also visible as pointed out by two trend lines on the chart attached above. The Resistance line of the ascending triangle is placed around Rs.147 mark.


CONCLUSION

With Reference to the above mentioned chart patterns for IDFC viz., Mat hold indicator & Ascending triangle pattern, it is advisable to track both chart indicators in sync with each other. Meaning to say, that the ascending triangle pattern has a resistance of Rs.147 & a bullish confirmation of the Mat hold pattern can be gauged with one more positive white candle stick which closes above Rs.147 mark. Tracking above evidences of bullish formation, a Buy call is Reiterated once the stock closes above Rs.147 resistance level.

Trading Idea: Buy IDFC with SL of 136/-


Short Term Trading Call

Charts Courtesy: www.icharts.in



Buy: IDFC (Closing Price- Rs.144)
Accumulation Zone: Rs.142-145
Stop Loss (SL): Rs.136/-
Targets: T1 155, T2 170


Stock View: IDFC has been consolidating in a Narrow range of Rs.128 to Rs.135 zone from August 15 to Sept 04 for a period of about 20 days. The stock jumped out of the range at the onset of 2nd week of September only to consolidate lower in the follow up trading sessions until yesterday. However, today the stock seems to have sought an important support around Rs.136 and the stock bounced back from there giving initial signs of stability. The stock also has an important Support at Rs.136 marked by its 50 EMA Trend line.

However, traders should keep in mind that the stock has a minor resistance at Rs.150 mark which is a resistance zone for the stock for past 4 months. On cross over & sustenance above Rs.150 mark backed by strong volumes, this stock seems set for a ride up to Rs.170-180 over next few months.

Swinging with RSI Momentum Indicator

Often Technical indicators are used as a guide or to predict the future course of action of equity markets, especially short-term market movement. Usually the use of technical indicators over a short term period involves studying demand-supply indicators irrespective of fundamental aspects of the market or a stock. Though it is not advisable to predict markets based on any particular technical indicators but a combination of indicators to arrive at any type of concrete decision of the market's next price direction.
.


Short Term Momentum with RSI

However, in this post we shall try to focus on predicting the very near-term (next 5-15 sessions)market movement for the markets in general. For this purpose, we will use one of the most widely tracked technical momentum indicator for determining the relative strength of the market - the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI).

RSI as defined by
Investopedia.com is, "A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset."

It further elaborates on the working of RSI as, "The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, meaning that it may be getting overvalued and is a good candidate for a pullback. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued. "



Charts Courtesy: www.icharts.in



From the above attached Daily Nifty Charts with range of last 3 months, I have used RSI 5 to determine over-bought & over-sold position of markets for next 5-15 sessions.

1) RSI below 30 around July: As can be seen from the charts, the benchmark index Nifty got over sold during the 10 days prior to and post July 2009, leading to short-term revival in the index immediately for next few sessions.

2) RSI above 70 in July End: During the last 2 weeks of the July 2009, Nifty went into over-bought territory. However, Nifty did not witness any sharp correction but went for small-time consolidation at lower levels for 2 times only to bounce back in the over-bought territory.

3) RSI support at 30 in August: However, the correction of over-bought phenomenon in the latter half of July was inevitable which was witnessed in first half of August 2009. Nifty took strong support at 4400 levels in the first half of August.

4) RSI above 70 in Sept: Again markets have bounced back in the over-bought territory in the September first half.

Based on the above evidences from history of short-term price movements, we can conclude that sooner or later Nifty has to consolidate or correct in order to ensure in line movement with a 'likely' retract in RSI at lower levels in future.


Future Possibilities:

(A) Stretched-Out Pattern: RSI stays above 70 for some more time and Nifty remains over-bought for few more sessions. This possibility could see Nifty testing higher grounds like 4900-4950. On RSI indicator, this would reflect as 'stretching zone' for markets above RSI 70 mark. But, after a certain point, Nifty has to retract to lower range of 4780-4840 levels for consolidation or may be even deeper for correction up to 4680-4740.

(B) Zig-Zag Pattern: The other possibility could be Nifty immediately takes a small 'U' Turn for consolidation below RSI 70 for a week or so. The support area could be 4680-4740 mark for Nifty at such times. But, later, Nifty could again bounce back above RSI 70 mark to head towards higher levels (like the RSI pattern witnessed in last half of July 2009).

(C) Pronounced Correction: Third possibility for Nifty could be that the RSI opts to retract back to 50 mark where it may find Support. This move back for the RSI to 50 could drag Nifty substantially lower at around 4570-4640 range over a period of 10-20 days. Nifty 4570 is a strong support zone for Nifty.

Caution: RSI is 'not' the only technical indicator that determines the movement in any asset class. It is just one of the few indicators which can be more fruitfully utilised in integration with other technical momentum indicators. So, do not build your wholesome judgement or decision based exclusively on above thoughts related with market momentum based on RSI swings.

High Risk Buy: Aban Offshore & Ind.Bull.Real Estate

Charts Courtesy: www.icharts.in



Aban Offshore- Deployment of Jack up Rigs led by Increased Spending from Oil explorers on Higher Crude Prices
.
Oil exploration services provider Aban Offshore witnessed a huge 25-30% up move during last week on the back of positive announcement of deployment of three newly build jack up rigs in the Middle East for a contract worth Rs.2925 crore spanning 3 years duration. Apart from that the company has also entered into a deal for deployment of a rig in Latin America.
.
.
What Next after a Huge Surge Last Week??
.
Coming to technical views on Aban Offshore, as has been pointed out in the chart, the stock has sought crucial support at lower levels around Rs.1520 mark after a huge surge in its stock price on announcement of deployment of its jack up rigs. The stock seemed extremely over-bought over the past few sessions and hence consolidating in Rs.1500-1650 range for the time being.

Usually, after such a big surge it is unlikely that the stock gets dragged down atleast over a period of short-term horizon. In fact, the stock is expected to register incremental gains over a period of time once the consolidation phase is over. High Risk traders can initiate long position in the counter at current levels with a stop loss of Rs.1520 and target as mentioned below:

Aban Offshore: High Risk Short-term Trade
Accumulation Zone: Rs.1560-1590
Stop Loss (SL): Rs.1520/-
Targets: T1 1670, T2 1785

Note: This trading call has been tagged as 'High Risk' Trading call not due to its sharply surged stock price in recent past, but due to the reason that the Support and Stop loss levels for this stock are placed quite near to the current market levels. Looking at the highly volatile fluctuation in the stock price of Aban Offshore after a huge surge, a fluctuation of 3-4% in the stock price on either side can't be ruled out during a volatile market session.
.

Indiabulls Real Estate: High Risk Short Term Trade
Accumulation Range: 255-260
Stop Loss (SL): Rs.247
Targets: T1 Rs.270, T2 Rs.285

Market Review: Nifty Analysis


Markets Nearing Trend Deciding Zone

Chart Courtesy: www.icharts.in



Sturdy 4570 levels

Nifty closes the week at 4680 on a positive note aided by revival in Chinese markets during the last session of this trading week. Currently, Nifty seems to be in a narrow trading range of 4570 to 4750 levels. It is significant to mention over here that the Nifty took support at 4570 level for 4 times during last 10 sessions, clearly confirming the view that these are the levels to be watched out for the downside support for short term traders.

Crucial 4350-4400 Zone

Over medium term basis, Nifty could be broadly trading in 4350 to 4750 range. The significance of Nifty 4350 to 4400 comes from the fact that markets took downside support for 8 times during mid August 2009. This forms as a crucial levels to be watched out for bulls, below which it would be advisable to play safe and exit or book partial profits. Below 4350 levels, bears are expected to take control of the situation for some time to come once the levels are taken out on the downside.

Resistant 4750 Zone

Nifty 4730-4750 continues to act as a strong Resistance for the markets to cross over. Above 4750, a quick burst to 4800-4850 can't be ruled out. If global markets stay sound & steady with upward bias for some more time, it wont be much before we see bulls crossing this crucial indicator at 4750 mark.

Summary
1) Below 4570:
Short term Traders be Cautious on Long Positions
2) Below 4350: Book Partial Profits / Exit Partial Longs
3) Above 4750: Hold Trading / Investment Positions
