By Vidnyan Sawant, HOD - Research at GEPL Capital
After consolidating for two months, the Nifty index is now displaying signs of breaking out, reaching fresh all-time highs and forming higher tops and higher bottoms on the monthly timeframe, indicating bullish strength for the longer term.
On the weekly charts, the Nifty has been consistently hitting record highs over the past three weeks and maintaining levels near the top, indicating strong confidence among market participants.
In the shorter term, particularly on the daily timeframe, the index has been exhibiting a positive structure with higher highs and higher lows, while finding solid support at the 34-day EMA (exponential moving average) for the past three months.
Key technical indicators such as the relative strength index (RSI) are also favourable, with readings above 65 across daily, weekly, and monthly intervals, signaling positive momentum.
Looking forward, immediate resistance levels are noted at 22,780, representing Fibonacci Extension levels, with further resistance at 23,000. Crucial support levels are identified at 22,000 and 21,800.
Given the current chart patterns, a strong bullish phase is anticipated. It is recommended to consider buying at the current market price, with potential upside targets ranging from 22,780 to 23,000 levels. To effectively manage risks, it is advised to implement a strict stop-loss at 22,000 on a closing basis.
Here are three buy calls for the next 2-3 weeks:
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company: Buy | LTP: Rs 583.6 | Stop-Loss: Rs 533 | Target: Rs 696 | Return: 19 percent
ICICI Prudential Life has demonstrated remarkable resilience, notably since hitting its 52-week low in March 2023. The stock has been consistently advancing within a bullish trajectory. In a recent noteworthy development, the stock has broken out of a Flag and Pole chart pattern, coinciding with a downward sloping channel originating from its September 2021 all-time high. This breakout was accompanied by a significant surge in trading volume, surpassing the 21-week average volume, indicating positive momentum.
Additionally, ICICI Prudential Life has maintained its position above both the 12-week and 26-week exponential moving averages (EMA), further consolidating the bullish trend.
Momentum indicators such as the RSI and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) support this bullish sentiment. The MACD has signaled a positive crossover, while the RSI stands at a robust 60, indicating the strength of the trend by substantial momentum.
Looking forward, there is an anticipation of further price ascent towards Rs 696 mark. It is recommended to set a stop-loss at Rs 533, strictly based on the closing basis.
