Wave analysis:

In previous update we mentioned that, “In short, it is now prudent to wait and see if the up move was only a temporary affair and prices start showing weakness again below 8060 or manages to generate momentum above 8265 for positivity to continue.”

Nifty gave away all the gains of earlier session and closed negative after just 1 day of temporary pullback. However, prices managed to protect the lows of 8060 which we mentioned as important to cross for downtrend to resume. Post touching 8074 levels there was recovery in second half with index finally settling near 8140. Such movement can be expected because after a sharp up move from 7715 levels we will not see sharp corrections. Many will try to enter now who missed the rally on upside which will result into frequent intermittent pullback. This is also typical to the behavior of wave (f) of Diametric pattern.

Hurst’s Time cycle: Let us again visit this Time cycle method that has helped us to forecast the pattern for many months now. As per Hurst’s Time cycle there are certain nominal cycles which work across markets on different time frames and the key is to identify the actual cycle in close proximity to the nominal cycle. We identified 54 days and 108 days cycle working well on the daily scale for Nifty. This cycle also helped us to capture a low near 6825 levels on 29^th February when the majority was focusing on the downside breakout. Along with that channel also provide important reversal areas.

54 days and 108 days Time cycle: The cycle low on 29^th February was of both 54 days and 108 days low. This is the reason the movement out of it was sharp and fast similar to that on the previous occasions. The next cycle low is again due in early August which will result into an important bottom formation. Normally cycle tops out in second half of the period. So a 54 days cycle will show some tiring behavior post 27 days. But the problem for catching a top is that a higher degree cycle can be in up-trend thereby resulting tops to be disbursed. But during low formation all the cycles get synchronized which results into sharp or panic low formation. Therefore cycle analysis is more useful for catching a low rather than tops that are disbursed. Nevertheless, we can still derive some indication towards maturity of trend by looking at the age of ongoing cycle.

For now to identify a good trending move, it will be post 27 days of 54 days low a strong downtrend should start kicking in. So far the 54 days cycle is only 17 days old and therefore the current trend is not strong on downside.

The pattern that fits into this Time cycle scenario is a Diametric pattern in second correction which we has been working very accurately so far. This is the reason why we are assuming the current leg as wave f of Diametric pattern that is currently ongoing and post its completion we should again see wave g on upside. Second Nifty daily chart shows the internal counts of the recent up move.

In short, it will be on break below 8060 we can expect a move towards the channel support which is near 7950 – 8000 whereas move above 8265 will indicate start of wave g on upside. Until then trade cautiously in this volatile but range bound market!

ICICI Bank applying Channels, Time Cycles, Bollinger Bands® and RSI!!

Recently Bank Nifty failed to show momentum above 18000 level and reversed on downside sharply. During such volatile market one should be ready with the trading strategy on different stocks. ICICI Bank is one from the private banking space which has been underperforming from medium term perspective and finding strong resistance in the zone of 258-260 level. What should be the trading strategy applying different techniques like Channels, Time Cycles, Bollinger Bands, RSI and Elliott wave? Below we have shown part of research taken from “The Financial Waves Short Term Update”which was published in the today morning.

ICICI Bank daily chart:

(Part of research is taken from The Financial Waves short term update report)

Wave analysis:

Bank Nifty failed to sustain above 18000 level and has moved lower towards 17600 in last session losing 1.3%. In last session prices also had Gap down opening and post that it has sustained below the same. So over short term as long as Gap down area is unfilled short term trend will remain negative. During such kind of trading environment one should use selling strategy in stocks which has reversed from the crucial resistance zone and ICICI bank is one of them.

The above daily chart indicates that as compared to other private banks, this stock failed to show any deeper retracement on upside and still trading way below its 52 weeks highs. This suggests that this stock is underperforming. As per wave perspective, the rally from the low of 180 to 260 is corrective in nature which suggests that another wave…… of third standard correction is ongoing.

During the range bound market Bollinger Bands works well. Recently prices tested the upper band of as shown on daily chart and reversed on downside sharply. RSI has also reversed from 70 level which was previous resistance and hence downside correction from here may have started. Apart from that 68 days topping Time Cycle is also due which has formed important tops in past. Hence one should be cautious now.

Mutual Funds - Past Performance by itself is not a predictor of future returns:

You can't open a newspaper or read a magazine without seeing ads promoting the stellar performance of "hot" mutual funds. But past performance is not as important as you may think, especially the short-term performance of relatively new or small funds. As with any investment, a fund's past performance is no guarantee of its future success. Here are some facts based on data for the last 10 years:

• Most of the Top 20 mutual funds in a given year did NOT make it to the top 20 in the next year. In 2008 not a single mutual fund did.

• The mutual fund that gave the best 10 year return never appeared in the top 20.

• The mutual fund that gave the worst 5 year return (and the 5th worst 10 year return) was the top performing mutual fund in one of those years.

• None of the mutual funds in the Top 20 ranking for 2001-02 made it to the top 20 more than thrice in the next 10 years.

• the fund's sales charges, fees, and expenses;

• the taxes you may have to pay when you receive a distribution;

• the age and size of the fund;

• the fund's risks and volatility; and

• Recent changes in the fund's operations.

·    Reliance Equity Fund was the top performer in the Large Cap category in 2012, with a return of 41%. Did you know it was the worst performer amongst Large Cap funds by historical return? i.e. if you were in Dec-11 and would have picked up this fund’s historical analysis, it was the worst performer by 1y, 2y, 3y, 4y and 5y return.

    Another best performer, SBI Bluechip Fund (2012 return: 38%), never beat more than 33% of its peers ranked by past 1y, 2y, 3y, 4y and 5y return as of Dec-11.

Because of the way our brains our wired, we often believe that a mutual fund that did well in the past should therefore do well in the future.But that's a mistake.

Look at more than a fund's past performance

Over the long-term, the success (or failure) of your investment in a fund also will depend on factors such as:

What makes us different?

As the business cycle keeps changing not necessarily past top performing funds will continue to be the top performer for years to come.

We therefore use Elliott wave model in order to determine the maturity of trend and the funds that has potential to outperform along with inter-market analysis. We use patterns to determine the future path and not just past returns. This helps us to select the funds that have potential to outperform going forward.

RBI keeps key rates unchanged, Nifty continues to move in a range after first 3 strong days

Bottom Line: Nifty moved in a range of 8190 and 8230 before the RBI policy meet due today. Closing will be important for short term direction.

Nifty daily chart:

Nifty 60 mins chart:

Wave analysis:

In previous update we mentioned that, “Nifty closed flat on last trading day of the week with underperformance coming from Midcap and Smallcap space. Momentum is failing to build up but we are yet to see price reversal for confirming start of wave f. During such scenario one should follow trailing stop for existing long positions”

Nifty had another lackluster day with prices trading within a range of 8230 and 8190 levels. Majority of the sectors continued to drift in sideways action and looks like movement will be witnessed post the policy announcement.

Majority of the economists are expecting RBI to maintain the status quo in today’ policy meet but everyone is eager to see if Mr. Rajan will continue his second term or not. For us markets reaction and closing levels are going to be important. A negative close on positive news will be bearish and will hint towards start of wave f on downside whereas close above the previous high of 8262 will continue the short term positive trend.

On a weak day we are easily seeing more number of declining than advancing stocks thereby putting pressure on the overall breadth. As mentioned earlier such readings are in sync with existing wave counts that prices are in wave e of Diametric Pattern and post its completion we should start seeing wave f on downside taking prices back towards the psychological level of 8000.

As shown on hourly chart, prices are now whipsawing around 20 period EMA which has acted as good proxy for short term positive trend. Sustainable move below this average will hint towards start of wave f but unless that happens one should avoid creating short positions. On downside 8130 is the near term support.

In short, market reaction post the policy meet is important. We have normally observed trending move starts approximately 30 mins after the policy announcement but closing level will be crucial. Important levels to observe today will be 8260 on upside and 8130 on downside.

Nifty Continued to move Higher but with lack of Momentum. Stay Alert!

Nifty managed to break above the previous high and closed near 8218 levels. This will keep the short term trend positive with 8110 as near term support.

Nifty daily chart:

Nifty 60 mins chart:

           

Wave analysis:

In previous update we mentioned that, “Nifty has continued to move in range. Sustainable move above 8215 level will indicate that trend is continuing.”

In the previous trading session Nifty consolidated till 2 p.m. in the range of 8180 and 8160 level. Post that, prices managed to close with a gain of 40 points near the highs of 2016. This will keep the short term trend positive unless we see a close below short term support.

As shown in the hourly chart, we have highlighted the process of distribution on prior occasions in wave a. As mentioned earlier, since the lows formed at 6825 on 29^th February 2016 the best of the trend is seen only during first 3 to 4 days of reversal and post that we can see non trending move. Even recently the bounce back from 7720 has been sharp and fast for the first 3 days and post that prices are simply drifting with slower momentum even though it is touching new 2016 highs. Nevertheless, unless we see break of the short term support and close below the 20 period Moving average the trend will remain positive. One should avoid catching a top in the current trend.

Participation has been reducing even when a few stocks are moving higher by 7% to 8% after the results. This can be clearly measured by looking at the AD line which is still near its 2016 lows. This clearly shows that the rally is not broad based which is in sync with our current corrective wave counts.

Prices continued to move in wave e of the Diametric pattern and break of 8110 will be first indication that wave f on downside has started. Unless that happens one should avoid catching a top here and follow trailing stop method for existing positions to make the most out of it.

In short, Nifty managed to close above previous high of 8210 but Bank Nifty is yet to break its pivot high level. This will keep short term trend positive but one should not be complacent and follow strict stop loss in case of sharp reversal.

Analyzing complex corrective pattern is not always easy and it requires combination of different techniques to be on the right side of the trend.
