Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One

The Indian equity markets have witnessed a splendid day of trade amid the follow-up buying in the benchmark index. The across-board buying participation provided the much needed impetus to levitate the market sentiments. Amidst the action-packed day, Nifty surged consecutively for the second time in the week and concluded the session a tad above 18,150, procuring 0.62 percent.

On the technical aspect, the index has soared over all the major exponential moving averages on the daily chart, construing a positive development. However, the current placement at the sloping trendline could be seen as the last hurdle to overcome, and any breakout above 18,200 could trigger a fresh round of longs in the system. 

As far as levels are concerned, 18,050-18,100 is likely to cushion any fall in the index, followed by the sacrosanct support of the 18,000 mark. On the flip side, an authoritative move beyond 18,200-18,250 is needed to affirm the bullish trend, and then we may expect 18,400-18,500 in a comparable period.

There have been contributions across the board, wherein the significant benefactors that boosted the bullish sentiments were from the Metal space. Looking at the recent developments, the undertone is likely to remain bullish, wherein any dip could be seen as a buying opportunity. 

Meanwhile, we advocate to keep identifying apt themes and potential movers within the same that are likely to provide better trading opportunities and stay abreast with global developments.

S Hariharan, Head Institutional Equity Sales, Emkay Global Financial Services

The earnings season thus far has met or beat expectations – however, individual stocks reporting results have not reacted favourably to good results. This reflects a consensus state of positioning and points to a period of digesting gains at the headline index level. 

The other notable feature of market action over the first half of Jan has been muted market volumes, despite elevated institutional activity – FIIs have been net sellers worth $2.5 bn in Jan so far, which has been set off by DII net buying. Retail segment is conspicuous by their absence in market action and is a slightly concerning factor for overall market conditions. 

A reopening of Chinese economy is understandably attracting most institutional attention and as a result, expensive valuations in India have acted as a major factor in the propensity for FIIs to be net sellers – this is expected to continue in the near-term, and would be an overhang for Financials sector.
