Changing market dynamics an early sign of turnaround?? The key observation which indicates changing market dynamics is that the current decline during May-June 2015 is smaller in magnitude as compared to the preceding March and April corrections while it has extended the time wise correction.

Bulls rising from slumber, stage set for rally…

Domestic equity benchmarks waded through extreme volatility in June 2015. Despite of the highly uncertain global environment the benchmarks Sensex & Nifty stood their ground and protected the important support bastion placed around 26300, 8000 (Sensex, Nifty) regions which corroborated our view of range bound market scenario as highlighted in the June edition of this report.

What we expect:

The closer evaluation of price and time behaviour during the recent correction signals changing market dynamics and points towards a possible turnaround if the benchmarks are able to enforce a strong close above 28100 / 8500 levels in the current up move. We believe that a faster retracement of the last down move (28070 to 26307) will be an ideal way to assert the resurgence of the bulls after a four month correction and open the room for a rally towards April 2015 high placed at 29094, 8844 levels over the next few months. Failure to post a faster retracement above 28100/8500 could lead to range bound consolidation between 28100 to 27200, 8500-8200 levels in the short term.

Changing market dynamics an early sign of turnaround??

The key observation which indicates changing market dynamics is that the current decline during May-June 2015 is smaller in magnitude as compared to the preceding March and April corrections while it has extended the time wise correction. The May-June fall (28071 to 26307) measured just 1764 points whereas each falling segment in March and April 2015 measured approximately 2700 points and time wise consumed 17 sessions. The fall getting smaller in magnitude is the first indication of waning downward momentum and serves as a precursor ahead of an impending reversal. Further confirmations to watch for calling a Trend Reversal

Going forward we would closely watch out for the following key triggers to signal a reversal of the entire corrective trend is place since March 2015 as listed below:

The Sensex has already cleared the first step by steering above the upper band of the falling channel marked by joining the monthly highs of March and April 2015. However the Nifty is yet to follow suit

Secondly the index needs to post a faster retracement of the last falling segment (28071 to 26307). The benchmarks fulfilling these two criteria during the current up move will signal end of the corrective phase and trigger a trend reversal

Historically it has been observed that major trend reversal bottoms are supported by faster retracement of the last falling segment. In simple terms, when a falling segment is overhauled in faster time it reaffirms the resurgence of bulls and triggers a major turnaround. The benchmarks have so far completed 8 sessions in current up move and already retraced more than 80% of the last falling segment which had consumed 15 sessions. We would be closely watching for the benchmarks to surpass their respective May 2015 peaks of 28071, 8489 in lesser time as that would confirm the reversal of ongoing corrective phase since March 2015.

Pictorially, the two distinct bottoms of May and June 2015 placed in the vicinity of 8000 region can be termed as a potential Double Bottom formation with confirmation pending above May 2015 high of 8489 levels.

Therefore we believe a faster retracement above 28100, 8500 levels would cement the major bottom around 26300, 8000 mark and open the doors for a rally towards April 2015 high of 29094, 8844 levels in the coming months. The placement of 80% retracement of the entire decline from March to June 2015 (30024 to 26307) at 29280 levels makes this the next key barrier for the index in the coming months.

Seasonality trends also favour bottoming out in second quarter

The historical seasonality trends play an important role in any given market scenario. In the case of Sensex there is credible historical evidence which suggests that markets form important bottoms in the second quarter of each calendar year and the subsequent three and six month performance has largely yielded positive returns. A look back at the historical data of last 15 years from 2000 to 2014 corroborates the second quarter seasonality trend of Sensex as follows:

On 11 out of 15 occasions the Sensex has delivered positive three month and six month returns from the bottom made in the second quarter of each year as highlighted in the adjoining table.

Out of the four instances where it has delivered negative three month returns, on two occasions the six month returns have been positive

The aforementioned observations clearly highlights the seasonality factor of our domestic markets which have tended to bottom out in the second quarter of every calendar year and also gels with our observations of changing market dynamics in the present scenario

Short-term base to shift upwards to 27200, 8200 region

Going forward, we believe any cool off towards 27200, 8200 region should be used as a buying opportunity as any dips towards this region will result in higher bottom formation. The confluence of key technical factors converging near 27200, 8200 region makes this a firm support region for the benchmarks where fresh demand will emerge based on the following observations:

The 200 day EMA is currently placed at 27186, 8200 levels The bullish gap area formed on the weekly charts during current

weeks trade is placed at 27202 - 27115 , 8257-8224 levels The 50% retracement of the current rise from 26307 to 27948

levels is also placed around 27127, 8200 region Momentum Oscillators

Among oscillator, the 14 week RSI took support precisely at its bull market support threshold of 38 – 40 readings during the recent decline as it made a low of 40. The resulting pullback has seen the RSI generate a bullish crossover above its 9 period average which suggests build up of positive momentum and favours continuation of the current up move over the coming month

Bank Nifty (18347) Buy in staggered manner for upside to 19500…

Exhibit 2: Bank Nifty Generic Futures– Weekly Bar Chart

Source: Bloomberg, ICICIdirect.com Research

• The Bank Nifty traded highly volatile in June as it crumbled under heavy selling pressure after RBI cut key policy rates while raising the inflation forecast for January 2016. However the index made a steady come back in the second half of the month to recoup most of the losses to end the June series on a flat note

• The monthly price action resembles a Long

legged Doji candle with a negligible real body and a large lower shadow. The two back to back monthly candles carrying large lower shadows highlights the presence of strong value buying in the vicinity of 17200 levels

• The selling climax in June halted precisely near

the 52 week EMA (then placed at 17278) which also coincided with May 2015 low of 17286. The ensuing pullback highlights that the index is absorbing all the negatives while fortifying its earmarked support placed around 17200. We believe this is a positive sign and the index should eventually resolve higher from the two month broad consolidation band of 18800 to 17200 levels and head towards 19500 levels in the coming months. Therefore from a positional perspective staggered buying can be considered from current levels upto 18000 levels for eventual upsides towards 19500 over the coming months

• We expect the current up move to retrace the

entire January to June fall (20934 to 17138) by atleast 61.8% which is placed around 19500 levels. The congestion area of February and March 2015 is also around 19500 making this a key short-term hurdle for the index

• The immediate support for the index is pegged

around 18000 levels. The 38.2% retracement of the current rise from 17138 to 18480 is placed at 17970 levels while the current weeks opening bullish gap area is placed around 19726 levels. Any throwbacks towards 18000 region are expected to garner fresh buying interest

• Among oscillators, the 14 week RSI held onto

its bull market support zone of 40-44 during the June correction and the ensuing pullback has seen the oscillator generate a positive crossover above its 9 period average suggesting strength in the current up move

Bank Nifty held its 52 week EMA support despite high volatility highlighting strong buying support in the vicinity of 17200 levels.

The 14 week RSI has generated a bullish crossover above its 9 period average after holding its bull market support reading of 40 during recent correction

BSE sectoral merry-go-round

In this section, we focus on the relative performance of the BSE sectoral indices. The adjacent scatter chart highlights the relative performance of the BSE’s 11 major sectors relative to the Sensex with the y-axis plotting the relative price momentum over the past 12 months and the x-axis plotting the relative price. The chart is then subdivided into four quadrants.

Leadership quadrant: Top right is “Leadership” quadrant, which represents a sector that has strengthened in relative price and momentum vis-à-vis the Sensex.

Weakening quadrant: Bottom right is the “Weakening” quadrant where a sector’s relative price has started to deteriorate and momentum has started to slow.

Lagging quadrant: Bottom left is the “Lagging” quadrant where the sector’s relative price has become negative with momentum suggesting underperformance vis-à-vis the benchmark.

Improving quadrant: Top left is the “Improving” quadrant where a sector’s relative price trend has started to rise with momentum.

In summary, if a sector appears in the top right quadrant, it indicates the sector is trending higher and outperforming the benchmarks. If a sector appears on the bottom left it indicates it is trending lower. Sectors appearing on the bottom right indicate they are underperforming the benchmark while if they appear in the top left it suggests an improving price momentum.

Note: BSE has replaced IT, health care, FMCG, midcap and small cap indices with new ones. Due to lack of historical data, we have considered the NSE IT, pharma, FMCG, mid-cap and small cap indices for reference Exhibit 3: BSE sectoral indices relative performance

What each quadrant indicates

Sectors in the top right quadrant indicate strong trending sectors

• Resurgence of Oil & Gas: The BSE Oil & Gas index hogged the limelight and exhibited strong outperformance on both price and momentum front. The sector is back on investors radar following prolonged period of consolidation and is expected to maintain its positive impetus in the coming months

• The BSE capital goods index continues to consolidate its position in the Leadership quadrant highlighting relative outperformance even in volatile market conditions

• The banking index has shown some pick up

in momentum after slipping into the weakening quadrant suggesting a fight back after recent underperformance

• The BSE PSU index is the second major

mover on relative price and momentum terms and has surged into improving quadrant suggesting that the ongoing consolidation has approached maturity and the sector should participate in the up move

• The BSE health care index has lost its leadership position and slipped all the way into weakening sphere suggesting profit bookings and implies relative underperformance in coming months

• The BSE IT index has lost further ground and

slipped into lagging quadrant implying relative underperformance along with the realty index. The BSE auto index continues to languish in weakening quadrant suggesting further consolidation going ahead

Sectoral performance – Relative to benchmarks In order to closely gauge the underlying strength in the respective sectors vis-à-vis the benchmark, we analyse the Relative Strength Comparative (RSC) indicator. As the name suggests, it is a comparative measure of strength vis-à-vis a benchmark or a sector. While the RSC line is rising, the sector is outperforming the general market, i.e. it is either rising faster than the benchmark in an up trending market or going down less, in a down trending market or even rising. While the RSC line is falling, the sector is underperforming the broad equity market. If the market is going up, the sector is going up less or may be even going down. If the market is going down when the RSC line is falling, the sector is going down more than the market. A flat RSC line indicates in line market performance going up or down by the same magnitude. The purpose of this exercise is to identify those sectors that are outperforming and avoid the sectors that are underperforming.

BSE Auto Index BSE Auto Index continues to trend down in a falling channel. Lack of faster retracement of last falling segment in June suggests further consolidation ahead. On relative terms, index is expected to perform in line with benchmarks, barring Tata Motors which is a weaker link

• The capital goods behemoth Larsen & Toubro

remains in a firm up trend since the beginning of 2014. Recently the stock displayed outperformance in turbulent markets and bounced back from the lower band of long term rising channel as highlighted in the monthly chart

• The supportive price action near the lower band of the channel was validated by the formation of bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern on the monthly chart.

up move from | 820 to | 1433 is placed at | 1130 levels
