Waves Analysis:

Anticipated on 15^th January 2014: As shown in weekly chart, from the start of 2011, prices have been moving in complex correction pattern (W-X-Y-X-Z). From August 2013, it moved higher in intermediate wave X and recent break below the channel suggest that it has started last leg on downside in form of wave Z. Currently we can expect, prices to move towards support of the downward moving channel, over medium term.

As shown in daily chart, momentum indicator RSI was unable to move above the strong resistance of 70 during the upside rally of August to mid January 2013, which suggest prices moved higher with lesser momentum and recent break of channel suggest downside correction has started. Now, on upside 450 will act as a strong resistance and can move towards 400/390 where support is placed.

Happened: Ranbaxy moved in lines with our expectations. Prices sustained below the crucial level of 450 and below the upward sloping channel and today we are witnessing fall of 20%. This is the power of technical analysis which provided us the bearish signal before the news arrived and help our client to capture the whole fall.
