May 4, 2015Monthly Technical
Emergence of value area = buying time
The pullback in equities at the start of April 2015 fizzled out precisely near our earmarked resistance area of 29000, 8800 (Sensex, Nifty). The benchmarks reversed lower after making highs of 29094, 8844. In the ensuing correction, they have breached their March 2015 lows (27248/8269) to form a lower high lower low on monthly time frame for the first time in 12 months. The violation of higher high/low sequence on the monthly scale signals deceleration of upward momentum and paves the way for a round of consolidation in the coming month. What we expect
We believe the current decline will get arrested near the key medium term value area of 27000 - 26300, 8185-8000 levels in the coming month. As the selling momentum gets absorbed near the key value area we expect the benchmarks to undergo a basing formation which will lay the ground work for a pullback towards 28250, 8580 over the coming months Price wise correction approaching maturity
We believe the price wise correction is approaching maturity as the benchmarks have already corrected over 10% from recent life-time highs (30024, 9119) and are poised near the key medium term value area of 27000 - 26300, 8185-8000 levels, which is the confluence of following technical parameters:
The long term rising 52 week EMA is currently placed at 26760, 8048 levels. The index approaching its long term moving average after a span of over 14 months will trigger value buying
Price parity of the current down move from April 2015 high (29094) with the March 2015 decline (2776 points) is placed at 26318, 7994 levels
At around 27000, 8000 the entire correction from life-time high (30024,9119) will equal the magnitude of the last major declining segment of 2013 (20443-17448), which measured 2995 points
The monthly lows of December 2014 (26469, 7961) and January 2015 (26776, 8065) are placed in the vicinity of 8000 levels
Based on the aforementioned observations, we believe the benchmarks should hold the 27000-26300, 8185-8000 support in the current correction. Only a decisive breach of the 26300, 8000 support threshold would lead to a panic situation in markets and trigger a further decline towards 25500, 7700. We believe any such panic decline towards the 25500, 7700 region should be used as a buying opportunity. The current decline from life-time highs will equal the magnitude of the 2013 fall in percentage terms (15%) at around 25500, 7700. We do not expect the markets to sustain below these levels as value buying will outstrip supply and lead to a gradual recovery. Basing formation at value area to extend time wise correction
We believe the current selling momentum will get absorbed in the 27000-26300, 8200-8000 range as value buying near the important support region will outstrip supply and lead to a basing formation in the coming months. We expect markets to remain in a consolidation mode and undergo a base building process in the coming month while stock specific activity will dominate trade as the result season peters out.

Seasonality factor favours bottom formation in second quarter
Historically, markets have tended to form important bottoms in the second quarter of every year. A look back into the market performance in the second quarter of every calendar year since 2000 reveals that the Sensex has formed a major bottom in May in seven out of 14 years. In two years (2009 and 2014) the index was already in an uptrend and the lows made in May in those years have not been breached till date. Therefore, seasonality factors also favour a major bottom formation in the second quarter. Post base formation, benchmarks to pull back towards 28250, 8580
The March 2015 correction was retraced by a tad more than 61.8% at the April 2015 high of 29094, 8844. After conclusion of the basing formation in the coming month, we expect the index to replicate this tendency and retrace up to 61.8% of the current down leg from April highs (29094 to 26879), which would open upsides towards 28250, 8580 in the coming months.
Momentum indicators approaching oversold zone
On the momentum oscillators front, the 14 period RSI on the daily chart has approached its oversold threshold of 30. Meanwhile, the weekly RSI is poised at a reading of 46. Historically, the bull market support for the weekly RSI is placed around 38-40 readings. Therefore, if the weekly RSI approaches its bull market support threshold in the coming months that would lead to a rebound on the price front as well.

We believe the price wise correction is approaching maturity as the index is poised near the key value area of 27000-26300. The index is expected to undergo a basing formation in the coming month before resolving higher towards 28250 being the 61.8% retracement of the current decline
The 14 week RSI is poised at a reading of 46. Historically, the bull market support for weekly RSI is placed at 38–40 readings. The oscillator approaching this zone will trigger a bullish reversal on price front
The 52 week EMA is placed at 26760 Price parity of April 2015 decline with the

Bank Nifty (18490) – Outperformance to continue…
Exhibit 2: Bank Nifty Generic Futures– Weekly Bar Chart
Source: Bloomberg, ICICIdirect.com Research
• The Bank Nifty displayed resilience in the face of plunging broader markets as it managed to protect the March 2015 bottom of 17710 and produced a rebound towards the end of the month. A pullback in private banking heavyweights post the quarterly earnings helped the index
• The monthly price action has resulted in a high
wave candle with negligible real body and large shadows in either direction, which highlights the volatility and overall indecisiveness at current levels. Holding above the last two month’s identical lows around 17700 will be crucial for the Bank Nifty to remain in the fray for a move back towards the April high of 19109 over the coming months
• Over the last four months, the broad trading
range for the Bank Nifty has been confined between 17600 and 20700. The monthly lows of December 2014, March and April 2015 are placed between 17600 and 17710, which highlights the presence of strong buying support at around the 17700 region. The key thing to watch in the coming month would be if the index manages to hold the lower band of last four months as that would uphold the overall positive price structure
• Only a decisive breach of the lower band of last
four months below 17700 would trigger further downsides towards 17000. We believe the index will not sustain below 17000. Any panic selling towards the same should be used as a buying opportunity from a medium-term perspective. We expect value buying to outstrip supply upon any drift towards the 17000 region, which can lead to a major bottom formation based on the confluence of following technical observations:
The rising 52 week EMA is currently placed at 17034
Monthly low of November 2014 is placed at 17029
The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire up move from July 2014 low of 14405 to all-time high of 20934 is placed at 16910
• On the momentum oscillators front, the 14
week RSI is holding steady above the bullish reading of 50 highlighting the robust price structure. Historically, the bull market support for weekly RSI is placed near 40 reading above which the underlying bullish momentum will remain intact
Bank Nifty is poised at the lower band of last four months broad trading range of 17700 to 20700 levels. Holding 17700 will be crucial for the index to remain in fray for a move back towards the April high of 19109 levels over the coming months.
The 14 week RSI remains above its bull market support reading of 40 despite the recent correction highlighting the overall positive price structure

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.

Sector rotation monitor
What each quadrant indicates
Sectors in the top right quadrant indicate strong trending sectors
• Beaten down metals and oil & gas play catch-up while major indices undergo profit booking: The BSE Metal and Oil & Gas indices emerged as strong outperformers on relative momentum and price terms in April 2015. The follow up action in oil & gas index after last month’s spurt in momentum along with a strong pick-up of momentum in the metal index implies that the prolonged period of consolidation in these beaten down sectors is approaching maturity. Both indices are on the verge of entering the improving quadrant, which makes these key sectors to watch in the coming months
• The leadership quadrant is still dominated by the defensives and capital goods space. The capital goods index has consolidated its position in the leading quadrant while FMCG and IT sectors have incurred deceleration in relative price and momentum suggesting profit booking after the recent outperformance
• Banking and auto indices continue to lose momentum in relative terms and have slipped further into the weakening quadrant implying that further consolidation is on the cards in these sectors
• The BSE realty index has lost significant
ground and reversed from the improving quadrant. It is on the verge of slipping back into the lagging quadrant. The BSE Power index is poised at the neutral line implying an in line performance

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 The auto index has remained in a declining mode since beginning of 2015. In April, the index underperformed, both in absolute and relative terms. However, we expect buying support to outstrip supply in the vicinity of 18000 region and lead to base formation in the coming month.

The index traded within March high-low range. Going forward, we expect the index to hold long term trend line support and resolve higher
In relative terms, the index remains in a downward trajectory. However, as RSC line has approached lower band of down trending channel a marginal pull back may not be ruled out. However, larger degree under performance may continue over medium term
The RSC line is seen rebounding from close to its previous trough which should see some out performance on relative terms in the coming months
The index is seen holding key Fibonacci retracement at 9300 over the past couple of months. We expect it to rally towards 12000 in the short-term being 50% retracement of fall

• The share price of Reliance Industries has shown early signs of revival as it is seen holding above its long term trend support for a second successive month (March and April 2015)
• While RIL remains in a larger consolidation pattern since 2008 peak, green shoots in demand to own the stock are clearly visible on the price chart as the stock has outperformed the benchmark in the past couple of weeks when Nifty remained on slippery ground
• The stock is poised at the long term rising trend line (| 790) connecting significant bottoms of 2008 and 2012, which coincide with consolidation low of August 2013-February 2014. A faster retracement of February-March 2015 decline (943-796) during April 2015 signals a shift in momentum on the bullish side
• Based on the above-mentioned parameters, we believe the stock price is placed at an attractive entry level. A pullback in prices towards | 1000 is imminent. The November 2014 high and 61.8% retracement of the June 2014 – April 2015 decline (1145-796) both coincide around | 1000 making it a key price target for an expected pullback
