Sensex, BSE Midcap , BSE Small Cap , Dollex 30 Technical Charts and Retracement Levels.

 

 

Sensex Technical View:

-> The fibonacci retracements are placed as follows

38.2% retracement – 15500-16000.

50% retracement – 14500.

61.8% retracement – 13000.

 

 

 

BSE Dollex 30

This is a good indicator as the major inflows is through foreign sources.

The index did not cross the 2008 highs and could only recover 80%.

At the same time it has already retraced 50%.

61.8% retracement is placed at 2300.

So a quick look at it would say Sensex has done 14500 in dollar terms.

 

 

 

BSE MIDCAP INDEX :

 

This is where majority of the portfolios are focussed at for retailers/HNIs as well as funds. This index could not recover the fall of 2008.

Its already down to 50% retracement and any further panic it can go to 5000 ( 61.8% )

 

  

 

BSE SMALL CAP INDEX:

 

This is one of the best indicator of panic in the markets.

Index is down to 61.8% of the current rally of 2009-2010.

In major panics indices go down to 73.6% ( Sensex went to 8k similarly in 2008 )

So we may expect it to bottom out at 5100 in panic.

 

Similar levels for Nifty are 4300-4400 for 50 % retracement.

 

Conclusions :

 

The downtrend in the index which started post the breakdown below 19900/19000 remains in place. This will not be reversed till we get into a strong consolidation.

Also generally we see stocks hitting 20% down circuits/ panic falls/ end of day selling / sharp drops with moderate volumes/ bankruptcy rumours either in the middle of a bear market or by the end of it.

So we are witnessing quite a lot of such scenarios.

In such a period there is no point being brave and buying stocks which are falling – ( for example crompton, lnt may be great companies but the way they are falling it wont be a wise decision to go for bottom fishing. One may also keep a strict stoploss even if its an investment position or buy in very very small sizes and spread your buying ). The reason to not jump in is PANIC has no LOGIC.

 

Focus on quality stocks where there is a good amount of margin of safety or stay on high cash. We have been slowly deploying cash whenever index goes below 4950 with a view to be able to complete buying by 4500-4400.

Also the stocks on radar are solid companies like Godrej Inds, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Smartlink, NESCO  and some more. Rest continue to have a bullish view on large cap cements and may look to re-enter on dips if at all they correct. One of our favorities HUL did 400 as expected and one may now look towards Cements to be a defensive segment.

 

The approach should be to conserve capital and be very selective as i believe many stocks may look cheap but they might be dirty :).
