20 Jul ’23 Post Mortem on Nifty, kissing distance of 20000
Nifty is up an impressive 526pts ~ 2.71% between the last expiry & today. This is by far the most impressive breakout by Nifty. From the last known resistance level of 18880, nifty is up 6.07% ~ 1142pts in a span of 3 weeks.
Guess what? My analysis went deeply wrong this monday when I exited the long position, I had a neutral call for this week and was expecting a rally by month end. I am not sad that I lost the opportunity cost of unwinding a long position on Nifty, but because my analysis failed to see this possibility.
I was really hoping Nifty will consolidate this week, seeing through the RELIANCE demerger and make its play next week. As we are the apex point, there are no resistances & moving up was the easiest way!
Daily Analysis
Nifty was looking weak in the opening minutes, maybe because of the RELIANCE demerger effect.
During the pre-open period till 09.15, Reliance settled for a price of 945 & we were all shocked. However the real pre-open for Reliance & Jio Financial price discovery was till 10.00 AM and it opened at a price of 2580 which was more or less what the participants were anticipating.
Let us not take the credit out of Nifty50, after 10.00 Nifty made up the lost ground in a quick rally by 10.30. That was only a start. Nifty made an intraday swing of 232pts ~ 1.18% and the momentum was building up!.
In fact it was banknifty that triggered this outperformance today, nifty was quick to catch up on this opportunity & take out its all time highs. The brand new ATH is 19991.85 just 8.15pts for the 20000 milestone.
I stopped my long call when nifty was at 19540, from there we have gone up 450 pts. This is the first time my own analysis went against me, probably I may not get over that anytime soon!
Whats next?
Infosys declared its results and the signs of slowdown are quite evident. We have a situation where the banks are having good results overshadowing the rise in NPAs and ITs having lower than expected profit potential. Even the results from HUL was not looking good prima facie - but I am not quite sure if these factors will stop the bull run on Nifty! Remember markets can remain irrational till you are ….
