Bulls rejuvenated; Nifty to scale 12200…
NSE Nifty Weekly Bar Chart
The Nifty respected key support threshold of 11000 in May and
staged a strong comeback as markets cheered the stable Central
government as predicted by the exit polls of Lok Sabha elections.
During the past three General Elections we observed, the Nifty
exhibits a robust performance (minimum 15%) for the rest of the
year once anxiety around election settles down, which corroborates
the bullish price structure and makes us confident that index would
extend ongoing up move towards 12200 in coming months. On the
downside, we do not expect May lows of 11100 being breached. As
highlighted by our sectoral model, we advise investors to focus on
accumulating cyclical stocks.
Nifty midcap, small cap is on the cusp of recording a ‘Golden Cross’
on the daily chart as 50 days SMA is on the verge of crossing over
200 days moving average for the first time since April 2018,
indicating a major shift in trend direction which makes us reinforce
our positive stance on the broader market space
Resistance @ 12200
Sectors likely to outperform on Relative Strength Model
On the sectoral front, we expect cyclicals to outperform whereas
consumption is likely to offer favourable risk-reward set up.
Banking maintained its leadership profile with improvement in
relative score, while Real estate gained on relative score despite
drop in momentum readings and inched further in Outperformer
basket. Capital goods sector has seen improvisation in its
momentum and relative performance score and expected to
outperform
Consumption sector including discretionary offers favourable risk-
reward setup given its strong price structure

Election Year: Cyclicals to drive post election…
In two out of three occasions, the markets behaved indecisively five
months prior to elections. In contrast, throughout the past three
elections, both Nifty and Nifty 500 indices exhibited a robust
performance seven months post the election phase with average
returns of 27% and 33%, respectively
During all three election years, pharma & BFSI have remained
positive whereas auto, capital goods, construction and infra sectors
have relatively outperformed during an election year
During seven months post elections, all
sectors performed and clocked double
digit gains

Among defensives, FMCG and pharma have
relatively outperformed five months prior to
elections. In contrast, consumer discretionary and
IT have outperformed seven months post elections

NSE (Nifty): 11800
11760
7894
o On expected lines, Nifty has
undergone secondary phase of
correction after witnessing elongated
up move of 18.5% during Dec- 18 to
Apr-19
o Index recorded faster retracement as
it retraced past thirteen sessions
decline in just three sessions,
suggesting robust price structure.
o Going ahead, we expect index to
resolve higher and head towards
12200 which is a 138.2% external
retracement of recent corrective
phase (11856 – 11108), placed at
12142
o The elongated up move with shallow
correction signifies a classical bull
market phenomenon. During ongoing
major up move (10005-11856), index
has not corrected more than 2/3 of
preceding up move. In current
scenario, Nifty found support from
61.8% of last up move (10585 –
11856), at 11070 which coincides
with lower band of upward sloping
channel (as shown in adjoining
chart), indicating crucial support in
the range of 11100-11000.
Weekly stochastic oscillator recorded bullish crossover, suggesting trend reversal

Golden Cross signifies structural turnaround…
48 Months SMA
o The Nifty Midcap has formed a higher
base around 14 month’s cycle low
(16000) over past three months. The
formation of sequential higher lows at
long term average of 48 months
signifies buying demand at elevated
support area, auguring well for next leg
of up move
o Currently index is on the cusp of
recording a ‘Golden Cross’ on the daily
chart as 50 days SMA is on the verge
of crossing over 200 days moving
average for the first time since April
2018, indicating a major shift in trend
direction which makes us reinforce our
positive stance on the broader market
space
o The aforementioned observation
makes us believe, ongoing correction
will find its feet around 48 months
SMA (16450) and regain upward
momentum to surpass falling trend line
in coming months, signifying
conclusion of secondary corrective
phase on the larger degree charts

Faster retracement augurs well for acceleration of up move….
28388
o The Bank Nifty after stupendous rally
of more than 13% in March 2019.
Witnessed consolidation in the last
six weeks in broad range of 28500-
30650, which has helped the index
work of the overbought condition and
form a higher base for the next leg of
up move
o Going ahead the index is expected to
move above its April all time high
(30669) and extend the up move
towards 32000 levels as it is the
161.8% extension of the previous
major up move of Nov’18 – Jan’19
(24404 to 27754) as projected from
Feb’19 low (26617)
o Index has already taken six weeks to
retrace just 50% of the previous six
weeks up move (26617-30648)
signalling robust price structure
o In current scenario, Bank Nifty found
support from 50% retracement of the
previous major up move (26617-
30669) and the previous breakout
area being the high of Aug’18
indicating crucial support in the range
of 28400-28600
Weekly MACD inching upward, taking support at its nine
periods average thus supports the positive bias

Sectoral merry-go-round: Cyclicals to drive
o Banking maintained its leadership
profile with improvement in relative
score, while Real estate and oil &
gas sectors seen as new entrant in
Leading quadrant. Both Real estate
and oil & gas have gained on
relative score despite drop in
momentum readings. We believe
Banking and Realty is expected to
maintain Flag position
o Capital goods sector has seen
improvisation in its momentum and
relative performance score and now
on verge of entering Improving
quadrant. We believe, sector will
perform well within overall setup
o IT has retreated on relative front
while Healthcare has witnessed
deterioration on both, momentum
and relative performance.
Consumption has remained sticky
with its position in lagging quadrant
for third month now. We believe,
within defensive bets, Consumption
and IT will perform in tandem with
market
o Metal has maintained its position in
Improving space although lack of
momentum in this space may
remain for some time while Auto is
expected to remain a laggard

Sectoral Indices – Relative to benchmarks
Relative Strength Comparative: Evaluating the underlying strength
• The index faced profit booking after hitting
fresh life highs during May 2019
• The RSC line continues to oscillate in a
range indicating breather in relative
outperformance
• Going ahead, we expect the technology
space to undergo period of consolidation
after March-April rally and form a higher
base around 15000 levels. On relative
front, sector is expected to remain market
performer
• Technically, TCS, Tech Mahindra remain
positive on the price structure front
• 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 sectors that are underperforming
Consolidation within structural up trend likely

Sectoral Indices – Relative to benchmarks
• The index has maintained higher high-low
formation after bouncing from key long
term trend line support, indicating
resumption of up trend
• The RSC line, however, is languishing
around 0.50 levels where we may expect
it to bottom out and resume
outperformance in coming months
• Going ahead, we expect the capital goods
index to extend its rally towards 20000
levels leading to outperformance
• L&T, Kalpataru Power and KEC are looking
structurally positive on price charts
• The index held above 14000 levels on
expected lines and expected to rally
towards 16500-17000 levels in coming
month
• The RSC line bounced back from lower band
of rising channel, and is likely to see an
outperformance in coming months aided by
positive price structure
• Structurally, we expect OMCs to do well
with a tailwind from positive price structure

retraced February March rally, making
market healthy

Sectoral Indices – Relative to benchmarks
• The Metal Index inched lower to retest its
key support placed near 10000 mark amid
concerns over trade war outcome
• The RSC line, continues to head south,
highlighting the relative underperformance
of the metals space
• Going ahead, we expect the Metal Index
to form a base while the ferrous space is
expected to do well and offers favourable
risk-reward. However, in relative terms,
the sector is likely to continue its
underperformance
• We like Tata Steel and Jindal Steel &
Power from risk-reward perspective
• The Pharma index witnessed selling
pressure and is headed to retest its
multiple bottoms around 8000 levels
indicating extended base formation
• The RSC line is still trending down
underscoring relative under performance of
the sector
• Going ahead, we expect the pharma space
to see an elongated base formation and
witness stock specific action.
• Stocks like Abbott, Suven Lifescience,
Hikal remain structurally positive while
Biocon, Aurobindo Pharma are expected to
underperform
Favourable risk-reward

• The index continues to remain in a well
defined down trend defined by lower high-
low sequence. As a result on relative front,
sector continues to under perform
• The decline over past fifteen months has
led index to approach its 2016 lows formed
during demonetization with extreme
oversold readings on oscillators. With a
weak price structure and oversold
readings, we expect the sector to trade in
a range and relatively under perform while
technical pull backs are not ruled out
• We expect Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp
to offer a favourable risk reward and likely
to pose a technical pullback
