Lathi Charge has begun on Broader Market stocks like Mid / Small Caps. As I've been Cautioning , it's time to review your portfolio and exit out of junk. Waiting for your cost price to come back might never happen or it may take many more years. My fear is due to interest being shifted to Largecaps , these stocks are getting more and more expensive day by day. Just a handful of Stocks cannot keep Market higher in the long term. These handful of Stocks are becoming too much expensive and when these start to correct that's when Markets as a whole would start a correction. As I men...

U.S Markets closed lower on Wednesday. Thursday our Markets were closed. Yesterday, U.S Markets were flat. Asian Markets are all down. SGX Nifty is down by 200 Points and Trading near 16350. Reason for this is Majorly due to Afghanistan issue. Afghanistan has closed down its borders and has restricted movement of goods. Import and Export have now been stopped by the entry of Taliban. This news had come around on Wednesday and was confirmed by the Authorities later during the day. Indian Exports and Imports from Afghanistan is more than 1200 Million $ per year. This Blockage and restriction will hamper India's Business in future. U.S Fed also indicating taper tantrum to take place much sooner than expected.

Yesterday evening , a news emerged that RBI has allowed HDFC Bank to issue Credit Cards. HDFC Bank has been underperforming from quite a long time due to RBI restriction. This temporary lift of Ban might trigger some Positivity in the Stock. Bank Nifty might outperform today as HDFC Bank has the highest weight in Bank Nifty. Lot of calls have been written at 16600 and 36k for Bank Nifty. Yesterday's last 30 mins rally in the Markets have caused a trouble for these people. 16500 straddle also has the highest open interest. So if Market sustains the Positivity we might see unwinding of these Call writers which will further take th...

So we can expect a range of 16340 to 16660 for this week. Tomorrow we have the weekly expiry as Thursday is a trading holiday. Penultimate days before expiry are highly Volatile on Intraday basis. Any 80-100 points dip on Nifty , I would be ready to sell 16000 PE (Monthly Expiry). In a Bull Market at the Beginning , all Stocks go up. Whether they have good Fundamentals or not doesn't matter irrespective of the same everything goes up. May 2020 to June 2021 we had this phase. In the next phase , Money shifts from lesser quality stocks to Quality Largecaps. We are in this phase now where the money is being shifted from Midcaps to Largec...

U.S Markets closed Flat Yesterday. Dow Futures are flat. Asian Markets are flat. SGX Nifty is also flat at 16370. Yesterday we had a good strong expiry. In the Blog Yesterday, I had mentioned I was expecting a Rangebound expiry with a positive bias. Yesterday's expiry happened exactly the same. Smart option writers made huge money yesterday. Slowly but steadily market is inching higher. It's surprising to see markets going up in straight line. Usually we see big scary corrections in Bull Market. This Bull Market hasnt witnessed a correction above 5% at any point of time. This is what worries me , Market going up or down in a straight line is not good. When Market falls in future it will be equally severe. That's In future , but in present this Market is looking strong. Momentum is with Largecaps and money is shifting from Small Cap / Midcap to Large Caps. Option Buyers are not getting much from this Market. Movement is there but it's quite slow. India VIX is...

This happens when we have a huge breakout. Nifty broke out of 16k with full steam and after that we are consolidating. Today is Wednesday and remember Wednesdays are highly Volatile. As we have an Expiry tomorrow so expiry related issues might kick in. In spite of severe profit booking yesterday 16000 PE added huge open interest. This shows the confidence of Bulls.

Yesterday we consolidated throughout the day on Nifty. Bank Nifty was very Volatile as Expected. This is not a Market where you can blindly go and buy any stock and make money. Market is highly Overvalued now so one has to be stock specific in this Market. IT stocks still have some steam left. This is a place for safe investors. Metal stocks have already rallied and doubled in last 6 Months. This sector doesn't seem attractive to me. Consumer , FMCG & IT are preferred sectors as of now. Nifty might Trade between 1...
