Nifty forms bullish candle for 2nd day; 10,900 crucial resistance

Bulls remained in control of D-Street for the second consecutive day in a row on Thursday after falling for eight consecutive days in a row and formed a bull candle on the daily charts.

The index is comfortable trading above 100-day moving average as well as 5, and 13-DEMA on the daily charts which is a positive sign for the bulls, but for bulls to regain control, the index has to hold above 10,900 levels, suggest experts.

But, it somebody plans to go long on the index then trading with strict stop losses is a better bet for capital preservation. A trailing stop loss below 10640 should be kept for all long positions, they say.

The touch-and-go moment with 10,800 suggests that there is some pressure at higher levels. The Nifty50 which opened at 10,744 slipped to an intraday low of 10,721 before it bounced back towards 10800. The index hit an intraday high of 10808 before closing at 10,789 up 54 points.

Nifty forms 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern on weekly charts, tread with caution

The Nifty50 managed to trim losses in the second half and closed off day's low amid weak Asian cues on Friday, but the broader markets caught in complete bear trap as the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices were down a percent each.

The index registered a bearish candle, which resembles a Hammer kind of formation on the daily charts and 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern on the weekly scale.

Hammer formations on daily charts should have bullish connotations for the near term, but traders need to be cautious as weakness on weekly charts is getting more pronounced, experts said.

A 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern is formed when the opening price becomes the highest point of the trading day (intraday high) and the index declines throughout the trading day making up for the large body. The candle will either have a small or no upper shadow and a small lower shadow.

A Hammer which is a bullish reversal pattern is formed after a decline while a Hanging Man is a bearish reversal pattern. A Hammer consists of no upper shadow, a small body, and long lower shadow. The long lower shadow of the Hammer signifies that it tested its support where demand was located and then bounced back.

The Nifty50 after opening moderately higher managed to hit an intraday high of 10,785.75 in early trade itself, but immediately bears took the control of Dalal Street and the index fell up to 10,620.40 in afternoon, followed by a bit of recovery in second half of session. The index cut down losses and closed down 21.60 points at 10,724.40.

"It was heartening to see Nifty50 staging a pull back move from the critical supports, placed around 10,600, as it recouped all the intraday losses which resulted in a Hammer kind of formation with a long lower shadow but weekly charts depicted a Bearish Belt Hold formation as Nifty continued to remain under pressure throughout the week from the highs of 10,930," Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.

He said usually Hammer formations on daily charts should have bullish connotations for the near term provided in the immediate session market witness a follow through buying.

In such a scenario sustaining above 10,700 levels on closing basis Nifty should ideally target 10,900 levels, he added.

Sensex gave positive returns in Feb in 5 out of 10 years; what does 2019 hold?

It looks like bulls and bears battle it out on Dalal Street in the month of February, which is usually marred by Budget volatility. Historical data shows Sensex gave positive returns in February in 5 out of last 10 years.

During the last 10 years, S&P BSE Sensex rallied the most in February 2014 rising 4.5 percent, followed by a 2.6 percent up move seen in 2012, and 2.1 percent gain in 2017, data collated by Ace Equity showed.

On the other hand, in past 10 years, Sensex fell the most in 2016 when it plunged over 7 percent, followed by 4.8 percent drop in 2018 and 4.6 percent fall in 2013.

This month, the sentiment on D-Street has been positive from day 1 after the Interim Budget when Nifty rose beyond 10,900, which is a strong sign as it has put bears on the back foot for now.

Vedanta plunges 18% as brokerages downgrade stock on its Anglo American investment

Vedanta has reported a 21 percent on year decline in third quarter consolidated profit to Rs 1,574 crore due to lower commodity prices and shutdown of copper smelter at Tuticorin.

Revenue from operations during the quarter dropped 2.8 percent to Rs 23,669 crore compared to year-ago. The sequential profit was up 17 percent and revenue up 4 percent.

Revenue was lower mainly on account of shutdown of copper smelter at Tuticorin and lower commodity prices, partially offset by currency depreciation and higher volumes at Electrosteel and aluminium business," Vedanta said.

At operating level, EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) declined 11 percent year-on-year to Rs 5,953 crore, but sequentially EBITDA increased 13 percent and margin expanded 300 bps QoQ to 29 percent.

FMCG company Dabur India has reported healthy numbers for October-December quarter as earnings beat analyst expectations on Thursday. Consolidated profit grew by 10.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 366 crore, which was ahead of CNBC-TV18 poll estimates of Rs 357 crore.

Consolidated revenue during the quarter increased 11.8 percent year-on-year to Rs 2,199 crore with healthy domestic volume growth at 12.4 percent against 13 percent in same period last year.

"Prudent cost management initiatives coupled with strong growth in the domestic market across our key business categories helped Dabur India Ltd mitigate the weaker economic indicators and macro-economic headwinds in some international markets to deliver a strong overall performance in the third quarter of 2018-19 financial year," the company said.

A CNBC-TV18 poll estimates for revenue stood at Rs 2,169 crore and domestic volume growth at 8-10 percent.

Dabur's shampoo business grew by 25.2 percent and hair oil business was up 23.6 percent, helping the hair care category report a nearly 24 percent growth during the quarter.

Sunil Duggal, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The medium-term prospects for India remain robust and we are confident that domestic consumer sentiment, particularly in rural markets, will gain pace in the months to come on the back of fiscal stimulus."

At operating level too, numbers were ahead of estimates. Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before, interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) in Q3 increased 4.3 percent to Rs 445.2 crore, but margin contracted to 20.2 percent against 20.5 percent YoY.

A CNBC-TV18 poll expectations for EBITDA stood at Rs 433 crore and margin at 20 percent for the quarter.

SP Tulsian of sptulsian.com told CNBC-TV18 that Dabur reported very good numbers for the quarter. "Considering the good rabi crop season and likely continuity in rural consumption growth, Dabur is expected to trade strong going ahead."

Even if it does 10 percent volume growth, numbers are expected to remain good going ahead, according to him.

The stock was quoting at Rs 433, up Rs 2.15, or 0.50 percent on the BSE, at 14:48 hours IST.

Tata Steel may retain up to 30% stake in South East Asian units

In a possible tweak to its strategy, Tata Steel may retain up to 30 percent of its shareholding in its South East Asian units, which had been put on the block.

Sources told Moneycontrol that the slight tweak means that Tata Steel is now looking for a partner and not a downright buyer.

The units include the Singapore-based NatSteel Holdings and Tata Steel (Thailand).

Earlier this week, media reports said the steel major was in talks with China's Hesteel Group. The Chinese company is the second largest steelmaker in the country.

In response to a query on the development, Tata Steel said: “In pursuit of its long-term strategy to create sustainable value for its shareholders, Tata Steel periodically undertakes strategic assessment and review of its portfolio including overseas business.

"Tata Steel will continue to consider all strategic decisions including portfolio restructuring options in a responsible manner taking into account the interests of stakeholders including employees. However, as there is no firm proposal for consideration currently, the company has no further comment to make in this matter.”

The stake sale is part of Tata Steel's strategy under CEO and Managing Director TV Narendran to refocus its energy and resources into India. Even as it looks to dilute stake in its South East Asian units, Tata Steel has forged a joint venture with thyssenkrupp for its European operations.

Now it wants to possibly follow the JV model in South East Asia too.
