Thus for nifty to close above its resistance, outperformance of bank nifty is crucial.  Midcap and Small cap should begin to outperform Large stocks whereasCyclicals should outperform defensive.

Risks -

 After a spectacular run up in equity markets across the world we believe many large cap stocks and indices are near to its key Fibonacci levels. However, selective opportunity lies within the sectors, midcap and small cap stocks.  Nifty too is close to achieving its Fibonacci extension target in range of 15250- 15500

when measured from the highs of January’20 to the lows of March’20  st A seasonal trend on Nifty shows 1 quarter to be a topping out quarter for index. Most of the minor or major tops are formed in the month of January- March.

 Drawdown analysis done on Nifty shows index tends to correct 20% from the top after rallying 65% or more without an intermediate drawdown of 10%.Current Index rally is close to 70% without any 10% drawdown in between.

 World market capitalization has deviated the most form its 200 day moving average, such extreme deviation from long term correlation has always succeed short term corrections to intermediate term corrections.  The percentage of stocks above 200 DMA in Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 has reached 100% indicating a sign of extreme optimism.

 If there is a correction then 23.6% retracement of entire rally comes around 13200

whereas previous swing high is at 12430. Thus a correction towards these level should be re-assessed for taking long position.

The Opportunity

The Long term Picture- It’s all about dollar The year 2020 started with several structural changes in the price; the foremost that is going to stay with us for the several years from now. Breakout from decade long consolidation in several equity indices and dollar index entering into the bear market are the key theme to be watched for years to come.

Let us begin with the reflation trade- Dollar bear market. In the past several reports we have been writing about the dollar bear market, a trend which has changed after 7 years. The below chart is the reason why we believe dollar bear market is here to stay with us for years to come. The 7years and 9 years cycles between bearish and bullish periods are alternating each other. This means that starting from 2017 we should be looking at 7 year bear market in the dollar index.

Time cycle analysis

Putting an Elliot wave perspective in the chart, the rally in 2020 retraced almost 100% of its previous fall; but failed to break above the high of 2017, we label the top of 2020 as wave B or wave 2. The fall thereafter is part of wave C or wave 3. This fall should continue till at least 83 level in next few years.

So what are the possibilities if dollar remains in bear market for the next few years? 1) Precious metals and commodity price to rally 2) Emerging currencies to appreciate against dollar 3) Increase of foreign flows in emerging equities 4) Pressure on emerging debts and bonds to reduce 5) Potential for nominal inflation

Apart from dollar index there are many other asset classes and equity indices which have broken out of the long consolidation. Prices breaking out of consolidation usually results in sharp move in the direction of the breakout. Breakout from consolidation also stays for longer period of time and is also associated with wave 5 in Elliot wave. Wave 5 generally ends up at all-timehighs and since these are multi-year trend 5th wave also lasts for many years.

Let us look at the charts!

Dow jones industrial and mining index Multiyear breakout on the Metal and Mining Index.

Source: Bloomberg, Edelweiss Wealth Research

The Dow Jones Industrial and Mining Index has broken out of an interesting pattern. After a sharp fall in 2008 where the prices declines vertically, the Index went into long consolidation. However, during this consolidation, prices kept on making lower swing highs but failed to make lower lows. A sudden crash during covid resulted in break of previous supports but this time price negated the further down move and in fact reversed in the opposite direction. Such a failed breakdown also called ‘throwover’ are an indication of strong change of hands from sellers to buyers. We believe a larger, multiyear trend up move has begun in the index

Copper

Copper price breakout has a historical resemblance

The monthly chart of copper shown above has an equality in terms of pricecorrection and pattern formation. Earlier in 1994 – 95, Copper prices witnessed a fall of about 58%. Post this fall, copper prices formed a base around $55 - $60 levels and gave a breakout from a “Double Bottom Pattern”. Technically, this price pattern is extremely bullish and hints at a price reversal. Interestingly, copper prices have seen a decline of about 58% during 2011-2015 from levels of around $500 to $200. Prices formed a base around $200 and also have given a breakout from a “Double Bottom Pattern” in 2020. Taking cues from the previous breakout, copper prices should head for multiyear up move.

Dollar index which has a strong correlation with emerging market ETF, was in a strong uptrend since 2008 whereby developed market outperformed emerging market. But now, with a throwover in wave e, it seems table has turned towards emerging market outperformance over developed market. Emerging markets have come out of the large consolidation and could see a substantial up move in upcoming years.

Taiwan

A 30 year breakout in Index

Source: Bloomberg, Edelweiss Wealth Research

Ever since 1989, Taiwan Index has seen a stiff resistance around the 12000 levels. On a longer time frame, the Taiwan index has been consolidating in an “Ascending Triangle Pattern”, where prices made higher bottom and faced resistance at a particular level. Every time, the prices came close to the resistance level, it witnessed severe selling pressure and cracked down. However, since the 2008 global meltdown, prices have been reacting in a different manner. Now whenever the prices came close to the resistance level, the corrections were not sharp and steep as seen before.

Eventually, in October’2020, prices managed to breakout of the zone which had been acting as resistance level since more than 2 decades. Technically, this is an extremely bullish event and the trend could remain bullish for a long time.

Breakout from long consolidation

Kospi Index was in an uptrend from 2003 till mid-2007, making higher tops and higher bottoms throughout. After the 2008 global meltdown, the prices clawed their way back to test the previous peak levels registered in 2007 only to face resistance at those levels and see a decline. The prices went under a time correction from thereon where the prices traded in a tight range for as long as 6 long years. In 2017, the Kospi Index finally conquered the resistance level of (Mention Resistance Level). But this breakout was short lived as the prices couldn’t give a follow through and the prices retraced back below the breakout level. Recently, post the fall seen in the markets because of the corona virus pandemic, the Kospi Index not only retraced back the losses but also broke above the earlier resistance level of 2100-2300.

Index coming out of a base formation

The Nikkei index has given a breakout from a “Rounding Bottom Pattern”. Technically, a Rounding bottom pattern is associated with a gradual fall in prices and a steady base formation and then a gradual recovery from the base. The breakout from the rounding bottom patterns are long term reversal pattern which stays for longer period of time.

Nikkei index which was making lower tops and lower bottom since 1990 till 2009 changed its trend gradually. Since then,As shown in the chart above index formed a rounding bottom pattern and also broke out of it, confirming a larger base formation.This breakout on the index is very recent and is long term in nature. This also indicates that the Nikkei has unsustainable in nature.

Up move from wave e, marked wave 1, thereafter price retraced close to 80% of wave 1 marking a bottom as wave 2.

Nifty- Long term- The brighter picture Let us look at the nifty long term chart with two different technical methods

Nifty- Elliot wave perspective A break above 12430 and extension of more than 138.2% suggests nifty has resumed its long term impulsive up-move.

Our preferred view remains as show in the chart below. Nifty is in Grandsupercycle wave (V). Within the wave (V), price is currently trading in cycle wave 3 which is extended. As per wave equality at 17700 nifty shall complete intermediate wave 3. Nifty in long term looks to be headed towards 17700

Nifty – Point and figure

Point and Figure too projects target above 17500

Source: Tradepoint Web, Edelweiss Wealth Research

One of the oldest methods of charting, “Point and Figure” charting method gives us an objective way to analyse the charts, removing the noise (consolidations/ small moves) completely. The long term chart of Nifty suggests that it is in a structural bull market. Long columns of “X” denote higher swing moves on the upside. For e.g. Move from ~12000 to 13500 came in a single swing move, without giving any major correction. The same move was captured in a single column of “X” by this chart. Relative to the moves on the upside, the down moves are much smaller, suggesting that the corrections in the Nifty are short lived and the Nifty again resumes its upward move. In the long term, as per the current setup, the Nifty is heading towards targets of 17200 – 17500.

Bank nifty to Nifty ratio chart above cooled off to its previous support zone. These support levels holds a lot of significance for bank nifty outperformance over nifty. Recently the price on the ratio chart came close to the support line and reversed; indicating bank nifty should outperform nifty in near term.

The Weekly chart of bank nifty above shows the breakout in the index. While Nifty has extended much above its previousall-time high of 12430, bank nifty which contributes more than 30% weight in Nifty 50, should play the catch up role if it has to keep the upside momentum intact. Thus look for buying bank nifty and stock within these space for an upside potential of 15-20% from hereon.

The above chart shows correlation between and Nifty Midcap Index. While US Midcap Index (Russell 2000) has extended 161.8% above its previous high. Nifty Midcap Index has remained a laggard in this rally. With the strong correlation between the two we expect midcap index to play the catch up role with Russell 2000.

The equal weighted chart vs the market cap weighted chart shown above suggest that although the market cap weighted chart has broken to all-time highs, equal weighted chart is yet to make newer highs. This divergence suggests that the top 20 percentile contributed to most of the gains in Index. Thus, focus should be on the bottom 10 to 20 percentile of the stocks.

Nifty complete 200% extension.

Nifty completes 200% extension since its inception.

Source: Bloomberg, Edelweiss Wealth Research

The above chart shows the journey of Nifty since 1991. The above chart also draws a reference as to where the markets have made a potential top and have been sideways or have seen a correction. Whenever nifty has come closer to important Fibonacci levels such as 61.8%, 100%, 161.8% price has either taken a pause or corrected significantly.

Previous month price traded above 200% but failed to close above the same. Currently, we are in the similar situation where price is trading above 200%. Thus till we get the confirmation as per monthly closing the risk of short correction prevails. In addition to the long term target being achieved, daily chart too suggests 14700-15500 has quite a few crucial resistances for the price. The channel projection on nify daily chart as shown below has completed is close to 200% projection level at 15400.

We have analysed the data since ’99 and have collated instances where the Nifty has seen a correction of 10%. The observation concludes with an outcome of how much does an index rally post a 10% drawdown and follow up drawdown after the rise.

The outcomes suggests, on an average, Nifty has seen a rally of about 65% and post that Nifty has seen a correction of 18.50%. Currently, Nifty has seen a rally of about 65% post the drawdown of 10% in the month of Apr’20-May’20.

This suggests index has rallied to one end of the extreme and a correction or a pause is inevitable.

Currently, nifty has moved up in 5 wave which indicates that correction is inevitable.

The World Market cap in its historical periods has seen itself reverting to mean whenever it deviates 28%-29%. Currently, world market cap has deviated 30% from its mean which signals a pullback or a pause before it resumes its upside move.

The RSI, which is a momentum indicator, is also failing to move above its previous high with market cap moving above its previous high. This divergence also puts caution to the uptrend and signals a correction.

Previous instances also give an indication that whenever there has been a run up of more than 20%, the market capitalization has always come back to test its 200 Day MA.

DOLLAR INDEX- Reaching multiple support zones.

Dollar Index reaching multiple support levels.

Source: Bloomberg, Edelweiss Wealth Research

It’s all about dollar! A fall in dollar index has led to massive inflows in Indian market. Inflow has been so strong that Indiais the only country amongst emerging countries to see inflows to the time of $21bn. The short term chart structure above suggests that dollar index is approaching crucial support levels around 88 – 87. From 2008 – 2011, there were a couple of instances where the same levels (88 – 87) were acting as stiff resistance levels. They were eventually broken in the later half of 2014 and early 2015. The same levels acted as a base when the Dollar index hit a bottom in 2018.

Technically, this type of formation is termed as “Change in Polarity”, wherein earlier resistance levels take up the role of Support levels.

A reversal in dollar index thus could pause an uptrend in Nifty.

Breadth Analysis

The above chart has percentage of members above 200 dma (panel 2 and panel 4) for nifty 50 (panel1) and nifty 500 (panel 3).

The observation shows whenever percentage of members above 200 dma reaches 100% on both nifty 50 and nifty 500 index tends to take a pause or correct.

Current reading of 100% indicates probability of index undergoing a correction in terms of price or time is higher.

Conclusion In the short term there are many indicators which is pointing towards a possible pause in the indices. However, we believe correction, if any, should be used to enter longs in Midcap and Small cap universe. The catalyst behind the outperformance in mid and small cap should be Dollar bear market cycle, Emerging equities breaking out of the long consolidation and Positive dievergence between Russell and CNX Midcap. Nifty should be a buy around 12800-13000.However,banknfity should outperform nifty in the medium term.
