Deepak Nitrite: Support Breakdown Signals CautionTechnical Analysis
Deepak Nitrite Limited has experienced a super bullish rally over the past decade, transforming from below ₹100 to reaching ₹3,000 by October 2021 - representing an impressive 30x growth in just 10 years. However, the stock has since entered a prolonged consolidation and correction phase.
The ₹3,000-₹3,200 zone acted as formidable resistance twice, while the ₹1,700-₹1,800 zone provided strong support multiple times over the past few years. This created a well-defined trading range that held for an extended period.
Critical Development: The stock has now broken below the crucial ₹1,700-₹1,800 support zone and is currently trading at ₹1,625. This breakdown is technically significant and suggests the market has entered bearish sentiment.
Analyzing the Profit & Loss statements over the past 4 years reveals a concerning trend - while sales show positive year-on-year growth, EPS has been declining consistently (from ₹62.47 in FY23 to ₹51.12 in FY25), indicating margin compression and profitability challenges.
Current Recommendation: No buying opportunities at current levels. Wait for the stock to reclaim and sustain above ₹2,000 before considering long positions.
FY25 Financial Highlights (vs FY24 & FY23)
Total Income: ₹8,282 Cr (↑ +8% YoY from ₹7,682 Cr; ↑ +4% from FY23 ₹7,972 Cr)
Total Expenses: ₹7,187 Cr (↑ +10% YoY from ₹6,555 Cr; ↑ +8% from FY23 ₹6,680 Cr)
Financial Profit: ₹1,095 Cr (↓ -3% YoY from ₹1,127 Cr; ↓ -15% from FY23 ₹1,292 Cr)
Profit Before Tax: ₹953 Cr (↓ -14% YoY from ₹1,102 Cr; ↓ -17% from FY23 ₹1,146 Cr)
Profit After Tax: ₹697 Cr (↓ -14% YoY from ₹811 Cr; ↓ -18% from FY23 ₹852 Cr)
Diluted EPS: ₹51.12 (↓ -14% YoY from ₹59.45; ↓ -18% from FY23 ₹62.47)
Fundamental Highlights
Deepak Nitrite faces significant headwinds despite strategic capacity expansion initiatives. The company reported Q4 FY25 PAT of ₹202 crore (down 20% YoY) with full-year FY25 PAT at ₹697 crore, reflecting a 14% decline from FY24's ₹811 crore. Revenue grew modestly by 8% to ₹8,282 crore, but profitability deteriorated due to persistent margin pressures.
The challenging Q3 FY25 witnessed PAT plummeting 51.5% YoY to ₹98 crore as the company faced a "perfect storm" of idled plants due to deferred demand, elevated raw material costs, and lower realizations. EBITDA margins contracted sharply to 7% in Q3 from 12.8% in Q2 FY25, indicating severe profitability challenges.
Market cap has declined 42.8% in one year to ₹21,258 crore, with the stock falling from 52-week high of ₹3,168.60 (August 2024) to 52-week low of ₹1,962.50 (February 2025). Prabhudas Lilladher downgraded the stock with 'Reduce' rating and ₹2,582 target price, citing commodity-driven business challenges.
Despite headwinds, the company is investing heavily in capacity expansion with ₹2,000 crore capex in FY25 for MIBK, MIBC, nitric acid, and enhanced nitration capabilities. Additionally, ₹8,500 crore investment is planned for polycarbonate resin production, positioning for long-term growth in material sciences.
Management expects profitability rebound from Q4 FY25 onwards with new projects commissioning and backward-forward integration providing operational resilience. The company has entered medium-term supply agreements aligning with expanded capacity and completed cost improvement initiatives for agrochemicals and dye intermediates.
Conclusion
Deepak Nitrite's decade-long bull run from sub-₹100 to ₹3,000 faces significant reversal with support breakdown to ₹1,625. Declining EPS trend (₹62.47 in FY23 to ₹51.12 in FY25) despite revenue growth signals persistent margin compression from elevated input costs and competitive pressures. The 42.8% market cap decline and analyst downgrades reflect bearish sentiment. While ₹2,000 crore FY25 capex and ₹8,500 crore polycarbonate investment provide long-term visibility, near-term challenges persist. Technical breakdown below ₹1,700-₹1,800 support suggests avoiding fresh positions until stock reclaims ₹2,000 level with sustained volume confirmation.

How Derivatives Hedge RiskWhat Are Derivatives?
A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on an underlying asset such as:
Stocks
Bonds
Indices
Commodities (oil, gold, wheat, etc.)
Currencies
Interest rates
Crypto assets
Common types of derivatives used for hedging include:
Futures
Options
Forwards
Swaps
Each of these tools functions differently, but all help manage risk.
Why Hedging Matters
Risk in financial markets comes from many sources:
Price volatility
Uncertain interest rates
Currency fluctuation
Commodity cost changes
Market crashes
Global geopolitical shocks
Weather-driven agricultural risks
Economic cycles
If a company or investor does nothing about these uncertainties, they are exposed to losses that could have been prevented. Hedging creates a protective barrier.
For example:
An airline fears rising crude oil prices.
An exporter fears the Indian rupee becoming stronger against the dollar.
A stock investor fears a market correction.
A manufacturer fears steel input cost rising.
All these risks can be hedged using derivatives.
How Derivatives Hedge Risk — The Core Logic
Hedging works on one simple principle:
A loss in the cash market should be offset by a gain in the derivative market.
The purpose is not to generate extra profit but to protect against loss.
Let’s understand this with the major derivative types.
1. Futures Contracts – Locking Prices for Certainty
A future is an exchange-traded contract that locks an asset price today for a future date.
How futures hedge risk:
If you fear that the price of an asset will move against you, you take an opposite position in futures.
Example – Hedging against rising prices
A wheat processor fears wheat prices may rise.
He buys wheat futures today.
If spot prices rise later:
He pays more in the physical market.
But his futures position makes a profit.
The profit offsets the extra cost—risk hedged.
Example – Hedging against falling prices
A farmer fears wheat prices may fall.
He sells wheat futures today.
If spot prices drop:
He gets less money for selling wheat physically.
But he gains on the short futures.
Again, loss in one place is covered by gain in the other.
Futures are powerful hedging tools for:
Commodity producers
Commodity consumers
Stockholders
Index investors
Currency-dependent businesses
Interest-rate-sensitive institutions
They bring price certainty and remove uncertainty.
2. Options – Insurance Against Adverse Movements
An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right—but not the obligation—to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price.
There are two types:
Call option – Right to buy
Put option – Right to sell
Options are the best hedging tool because they provide protection while allowing participation in favourable moves.
Hedging with Put Options (Downside Protection)
Buying a put is similar to buying insurance.
A stock investor buys a put option at a strike price.
If the stock falls heavily:
Loss in the stock is offset by gain in the put option.
If the stock rises:
He loses only the premium, but still enjoys the upside.
This is called a protective put.
Hedging with Call Options (Upside Protection for Short Sellers)
If someone has sold a stock or commodity and fears that prices may rise, they buy a call option as insurance.
If prices rise:
The call increases in value.
Loss in the short position is reduced or offset.
Why options are preferred for hedging:
You control risk with limited premium.
You keep unlimited favourable movement.
They work like financial insurance policies.
3. Forward Contracts – Customized Hedging
A forward contract is like a future but traded privately (OTC), not on an exchange.
They are customized based on:
Quantity
Price
Duration
Delivery terms
Hedging With Forwards – Example
An Indian exporter expecting $1 million in three months fears the USD/INR rate might fall.
He enters into a forward contract with a bank to sell $1 million at a fixed rate.
If the dollar weakens:
He gets less money in the market.
But the forward contract guarantees a fixed rate.
Thus the business avoids currency risk.
Forwards are widely used by:
Exporters and importers
Banks
Large corporations
Commodity producers
They hedge exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, or commodity price risk.
4. Swaps – Exchanging Cash Flows to Reduce Risk
A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows.
Two common types:
Interest Rate Swaps
Currency Swaps
Interest Rate Swap Example
A company with a floating-rate loan fears rising interest rates.
It enters into a swap to convert the floating rate into a fixed rate.
If market rates rise, the company pays more interest normally,
but gains in the swap compensate the higher payment.
This stabilizes finance costs.
Currency Swap Example
A company with revenue in USD but expenses in INR can exchange currency cash flows using a swap so that currency fluctuations do not hurt the business.
Swaps reduce uncertainty for long-term financial planning.
Real-World Hedging Examples
Airlines and Crude Oil
Airlines hedge oil prices using futures and swaps because fuel cost is uncertain. Hedging ensures predictable expenses.
Farmers and Commodity Prices
Farmers hedge against falling commodity prices using futures and options.
Manufacturing Companies
Steel consumers hedge rising metal prices using futures.
Exporters and Importers
Currency forwards and options reduce FX volatility risk.
Stock Investors
Portfolio managers hedge index risk using index futures or index put options.
Benefits of Hedging with Derivatives
✔ Reduces risk and uncertainty
✔ Protects profit margins
✔ Stabilizes cash flows
✔ Improves planning and budgeting
✔ Protects portfolios from market crashes
✔ Provides insurance-like safety
✔ Allows businesses to focus on operations instead of price fluctuations
Limitations and Risks of Hedging
Hedging has costs (like option premium).
Over-hedging can reduce profits.
Mis-using derivatives can increase risk.
Requires knowledge and discipline.
Mark-to-market losses can occur, even if final protection holds.
But despite costs, hedging is essential for long-term stability.
Conclusion
Derivatives are powerful tools for managing and reducing financial risk. By taking an opposite position in futures, options, forwards, or swaps, businesses and investors can ensure that adverse market movements are offset by gains in derivative markets. This transforms unpredictable markets into manageable environments.
Whether it is an airline hedging fuel costs, an exporter hedging currency risk, or an investor protecting a stock portfolio, derivatives act as a financial shield. They do not eliminate uncertainty, but they convert unknowns into planned, controlled outcomes. That is the true power of hedging.

Nifty 50 Analysis (Based on Your 4H+1D Chart ) Key Observations from Your Markups (ICT Style):
1. Price is sitting inside a 4H FVG (26,110–26,170 zone)
This is acting as intraday demand / discount region.
Price bounced here previously and is testing it again.
2. Multiple PDH levels above + Weak High at ~26,320–26,350
This cluster suggests **liquidity resting above.
If price reclaims PDH → expect a sweep toward the weak high.
3. PDL is protected (~26,070–26,090)
Clean liquidity pool below.
A sweep into PDL + FVG confluence gives high-probability long setup.
4. Daily chart shows rejection from the supply zone (26,300–26,380)
But the structure is still **bullish BOS → continuation** unless 25,950 breaks.

HCLTECH –A Complete Structural Shift After Months of CompressionHCLTECH spent several months inside a broad falling structure, creating a steady sequence of lower highs and lower lows. But within this decline, the market slowly began forming a triangle and later a falling wedge, both of which signaled weakening selling pressure.
The major turning point came when price respected the lower wedge support and produced a strong rally, giving us a clear Change of Character (CHoCH). This move showed that buyers were starting to regain control.
The most important development was the break of the macro descending trendline, which had guided the entire downtrend since early 2025. This break marks the beginning of a higher-timeframe reversal.
With structure now flipped bullish, the chart opens the path toward the next major supply zone near ₹2000, which remains the logical upside target. The setup stays valid as long as price holds above ₹1380, the critical support and invalidation level.
HCLTECH has transitioned from a long period of compression into a confirmed breakout, and momentum now favors continued upside.

Smart Liquidity Trading StrategiesWhat Is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to orders waiting to be executed—stop losses, limit orders, breakout orders, etc. These orders accumulate in predictable areas:
Above swing highs
Below swing lows
Near major support or resistance
Around imbalance zones
At psychological levels (like 50, 100, 1000)
Institutional traders know retail traders place stops in these obvious areas. So the market often moves first to collect these orders, then reverses to the real direction.
This mechanism is often referred to as:
Stop hunting
Liquidity sweep
Stop-loss raid
Smart money trap
Smart liquidity strategies attempt to take advantage of these manipulations.
Core Concepts Behind Smart Liquidity Trading
Below are the key building blocks every trader must understand before applying smart liquidity strategies.
1. Liquidity Pools
Liquidity pools are zones where large groups of traders have placed orders. Markets gravitate toward these pools to fill big institutional orders.
Two main types exist:
a) Buy-side liquidity (BSL)
This sits above swing highs.
Breakout buyers place buy stops.
Sellers place stop losses above highs.
When price moves up to sweep these, big players offload large sell positions.
b) Sell-side liquidity (SSL)
This sits below swing lows.
Breakout sellers place sell stops.
Buyers place their stop losses below lows.
Price often dips to sweep these orders before a sharp reversal upward.
2. Liquidity Grabs / Sweeps
These are fast price moves beyond a key high or low followed by sharp rejection.
This signals that:
Liquidity has been collected.
Big traders have executed their orders.
A reversal is highly probable.
Example:
Price breaks a major high → retail buys breakout → institutions sell into that buy-side liquidity → market reverses.
3. Market Structure Shifts
Once liquidity is taken, the next signal is a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or a Change of Character (CHOCH).
It shows that the previous trend ended and a new one is forming.
After sweeping sell-side liquidity, a bullish MSS means price is ready to move up.
After sweeping buy-side liquidity, a bearish MSS indicates downward movement.
This combination—liquidity sweep + structure shift—is the foundation of smart liquidity strategies.
4. Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
When institutions aggressively enter trades, price moves fast and leaves an imbalance—an area where few or no trades happened.
These gaps often get revisited later.
A typical smart liquidity sequence:
Liquidity sweep
Market structure shift
Price retraces to imbalance (FVG)
Smart entry zone triggers
This provides high-probability and low-risk setups.
Smart Liquidity Trading Strategies
Now let’s break down the most effective strategies used by traders following institutional and smart money concepts.
1. Liquidity Sweep + Market Structure Shift Strategy
This is the most popular and powerful strategy.
Steps:
Identify liquidity pool
Above previous highs (BSL)
Below previous lows (SSL)
Wait for price to sweep the liquidity
A quick wick or candle body breaching the zone.
Wait for Market Structure Shift (MSS)
A break in the current trend.
Enter on retracement
At the origin of displacement
Or at a fair value gap (FVG)
Place stop-loss
Below the sweep (for long)
Above the sweep (for short)
Target next liquidity pool
This strategy works on all timeframes.
2. Breaker Block Strategy (Post-Liquidity Grab)
Breaker blocks form when a previous support or resistance zone fails after liquidity collection.
Logic:
Market grabs liquidity beyond a key level.
Price reverses and breaks that level.
The broken zone becomes a powerful entry block.
How to trade:
Identify failed high/low.
Mark the breaker block.
Wait for a retest.
Enter with stop behind the block.
Breaker blocks are highly effective in trending markets.
3. Equal Highs / Equal Lows Targeting
Equal highs or lows attract liquidity because traders place stops or entries in these zones.
Smart traders:
Anticipate sweeps of equal highs/lows.
Enter after sweep.
Target the next liquidity level.
Double-top and double-bottom formations often become liquidity traps.
4. Inducement Strategy
Inducement refers to false setups designed to lure retail traders.
Example:
A mini double-top forms below a larger liquidity pool. Retail shorts early, providing liquidity for institutions to run the real move.
Steps:
Identify small equal highs/lows.
Understand they often induce premature entries.
Expect price to sweep inducement liquidity first.
Enter after true liquidity sweep at the major level.
This prevents entering too early.
5. Liquidity Mapping Multi-Timeframe Strategy
Smart traders never trade on one timeframe. Liquidity must be aligned.
Steps:
HTF (Daily/4H)
Identify major liquidity pools (key highs/lows).
MTF (1H/15M)
Identify intermediate liquidity and imbalance.
LTF (1M/5M)
Look for sweep + MSS to refine entries.
This produces sniper entries with minimal stop-loss.
6. Liquidity Void / Imbalance Filling Strategy
Markets often:
Create a liquidity void (fast, one-sided movement).
Later return to fill that void.
Continue moving in original direction.
Traders enter when price enters the imbalance and shows structure shift.
Why Smart Liquidity Strategies Work
Traditional indicators often lag and don’t explain why price behaves a certain way.
Smart liquidity strategies work because they are based on market logic:
Institutions cannot enter without liquidity.
Retail traders place predictable stop-losses.
Market makers move price to where orders sit.
Liquidity hunts are deliberate, not random.
Price must rebalance inefficiencies.
This makes smart liquidity trading a powerful approach for anticipating market manipulation and aligning with institutional flow.
Advantages of Smart Liquidity Strategies
✔ High accuracy
✔ Trades align with institutional flow
✔ Low stop-loss and high risk-to-reward
✔ Clear rule-based structure
✔ Works across forex, stocks, crypto, indices, commodities
✔ Helps avoid retail traps and fake breakouts
Final Thoughts
Smart liquidity trading strategies are not magic—they are based on understanding how institutional players operate. By learning to identify liquidity pools, sweeps, market structure shifts, imbalance zones, and inducement setups, traders gain a powerful edge over the market.
The key is patience:
You wait for liquidity to be swept, then enter on confirmation—not before.
Master this discipline, and your trading becomes more precise, logical, and consistently profitable.
Small Account Challenges for Indian Traders1. Limited Capital and High Risk Exposure
The primary and most obvious challenge for small account traders is limited capital. With a small account, traders are compelled to take higher risk positions, which often leads to:
A. Overleveraging
Indian brokers offer leverage mainly for intraday equity trades, but in recent years, SEBI regulations have significantly reduced the leverage available.
Small account traders often feel forced to:
Use full margin or near-full margin
Take oversized positions to achieve meaningful returns
Try to flip positions quickly to cover brokerage, taxes, and charges
This increases the probability of a margin call or forced liquidation.
B. Inability to Absorb Drawdowns
Markets naturally move in cycles of profits and losses. A small loss of ₹500 may be negligible for a trader with ₹5 lakh capital but can feel devastating for someone starting with ₹5,000.
This creates emotional stress and leads to irrational decisions like revenge trading.
2. Brokerage, Taxes, and Trading Charges Eat Into Profits
Trading in India involves multiple cost elements:
Brokerage
STT/CTT
Exchange Transaction Charges
GST
SEBI Fees
Stamp Duty
Slippage
For small accounts, these charges form a disproportionately large percentage of the capital. For example:
A trader with ₹10,000 may lose up to 1–2% per trade in costs alone.
Frequent intraday trading becomes unviable when costs exceed potential profits.
This pushes many small account traders toward high-risk segments like options buying, which has lower capital requirements but high volatility.
3. Pressure to Make Quick Profits
Indian traders with small accounts often enter the market with the mindset:
“I need to double this account fast.”
“I want to make monthly income from ₹10,000 capital.”
“I will start small and become full-time in a few months.”
This creates unrealistic expectations, leading to:
Overtrading
Aggressive option buying
Fear of missing out (FOMO)
Emotional swings
Impulsive decisions
The expectation to grow capital rapidly is one of the biggest psychological traps.
4. Limited Access to Diversification
With small capital, it’s difficult to diversify across:
Stocks
Sectors
Time frames
Trading strategies
Most small traders put all their capital into a single stock or a single futures or options position, which increases portfolio risk dramatically. A single bad trade can wipe out the account.
5. Options Buying Addiction
Because equity and futures require higher capital, small traders gravitate toward options buying, particularly:
Weekly Nifty/Bank Nifty options
Zero day expiry (0DTE) trades
Far OTM options
While these instruments offer high reward potential, they also carry:
Very fast time decay
High volatility risk
Frequent whipsaws
Low probability of consistent profitability
Most small account traders get trapped in a cycle of quick profits followed by large losses, ultimately destroying their capital.
6. Difficulty Implementing Proper Risk Management
Risk management requires rules like:
Risk 1–2% per trade
Maintain stop-loss discipline
Control position size
However, with small accounts, applying these rules becomes nearly impossible.
For example, with ₹10,000 capital:
1% risk = ₹100
Most trades cannot be structured within such tight risk limits
Even brokerage and charges exceed the risk budget
Thus, small traders are almost forced to violate risk rules, making professional-level discipline difficult to maintain.
7. Emotional and Psychological Challenges
Small account trading is mentally draining because:
Every loss feels bigger than it is.
Every profit seems insufficient.
A few losing trades can wipe out weeks of effort.
Fear of losing capital creates hesitation.
Greed pushes traders to take oversized bets.
This emotional instability leads to:
Overtrading
Lack of patience
Jumping between strategies
Chasing trending stocks
Continual strategy switching
Psychology becomes a greater barrier than capital itself.
8. Limited Access to Tools, Data, and Learning Resources
Professional traders use:
Advanced charting platforms
Real-time data feeds
Premium screeners
Algorithms and automation
Backtesting tools
For a small account trader, these tools feel expensive and unaffordable.
As a result, they rely on:
Free charting websites
Social media tips
Influencer trades
Telegram groups
Many of these sources are unreliable, biased, or manipulated.
9. Lack of Experience in Market Cycles
Small traders often enter the market during bull phases, where:
Almost every trade gives profit
Stocks keep rising
Market sentiment is positive
When the market shifts into a volatile or bearish phase, small traders struggle to adapt.
They lack experience in handling:
Downtrends
Range-bound markets
High volatility periods
Event-driven uncertainty
This inexperience leads to heavy losses.
10. Compounding Takes Time—People Want Immediate Results
Growing a small account through disciplined compounding requires:
Patience
Persistence
Realistic targets
Long-term vision
However, many small traders want:
Quick doubling
Daily profits
Constant action
High returns instantly
This mindset contradicts the reality of compounding, which is slow but powerful over time.
11. Social Pressure and Unrealistic Comparisons
Many traders compare themselves to:

This comparison creates unnecessary pressure, causing small traders to take irrational risks just to match those results.
Most don’t realize that successful traders today started small themselves—but with years of experience.
Conclusion
Small account trading is challenging in India due to limited capital, high transaction costs, emotional stress, and structural market restrictions. However, success is still possible with realistic expectations, disciplined risk management, and a focus on long-term skill development instead of quick profits.
By understanding these challenges deeply, Indian traders can avoid common traps, preserve their capital, and slowly build a strong foundation for future growth.
