A daily wrapGrowth worries and Valuation Fears Two themes ran the show last week: America’s once-mighty growth showing signs of fatigue, and investors rediscovering their fear of heights when it comes to stock valuations—all against the backdrop of a record-breaking government shutdown that’s kept official data in the dark longer than most TV reboots last. The US economy looked like a mixed salad—plenty of green but dressed with uncertainty. With the shutdown nearing 40 days, hopes of a clean economic rebound were fading. Challenger’s job cuts data added salt to the mix, showing October layoffs at 20-year highs, with AI and corporate caution blamed. Meanwhile, consumer confidence slid to just above its historical floor. Yet somehow, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model is still strutting around at 4.0% growth—perhaps it didn’t get the memo. Fedspeak” was abundant but not harmonious. Some officials are still seeing inflation monsters under the bed, while others are losing sleep over the job market. The divide is widening—more duet than chorus. UK Across the pond, the Bank of England delivered a small surprise by standing pat on rates (5-4 vote) but hinting it’s ready to cut next—suggesting inflation may finally have peaked. Central bankers elsewhere largely hit replay on last week’s script. China In China, October’s trade numbers hinted at the limits of “pivoting away from the US.” Exports to non-US markets rose 3.1%, but a 25% drop in shipments to the US dragged total exports down 1.1%. Even Beijing’s redirection efforts seem to have hit a yield curve. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court began debating the legality of certain executive-imposed tariffs. Early questioning suggested skepticism from the bench—but no verdict is expected soon. Lawyers everywhere are sharpening pencils and patience alike. Markets: AI Angst and Data Drought Equities stumbled as AI valuation panic reemerged, pushing the Nasdaq to its worst week since April. The 10-year Treasury yield wobbled mildly between 4.05% and 4.16%, while gold stayed shiny but subdued ($3,940–$4,030). The real rollercoaster was Bitcoin, whipsawing between $99k and $111k—because apparently, gravity is optional in crypto land. Oil quietly clocked out below $60 a barrel. The Week Ahead The shutdown saga rolls on, which means another week without CPI, PPI, or other vital data—like driving blindfolded with only private surveys as headlights. Expect attention on the NFIB small business survey, ADP employment data, and a flurry of Fed speeches, as officials try to sound informed without actual information. Elsewhere: • Japan’s BoJ minutes may reveal internal political pressure to delay its long-teased rate hike. • Europe gets the ZEW survey, ECB’s latest economic outlook, and some lagging indicators (GDP, trade, jobs, and German inflation). • UK focus shifts to labor data and wage growth, critical for the Bank of England’s next move, with several MPC members on speaking duty. The US-China trade deal, sealed in Kuala Lumpur and Busan, still holds—much to the surprise of cynics betting on diplomatic self-sabotage. the AI bubble chatter refuses to deflate. A recycled Sam Altman quote calling AI investments a “bubble”, coupled with an MIT study claiming 95% of corporate AI bets aren’t profitable, had investors clutching their neural networks. Never mind that both were old news—markets rediscovered them like lost episodes of a bad reality show.

Billions on Broccoli: What Is the Secret of Sprouts?The Redoubling is my own research project on TradingView, which is designed to answer the following question: How long will it take me to double my capital? Each article will focus on a different company that I'll try to add to my model portfolio. I'll use the close price of the last daily candle on the day the article is published as the initial buy limit price. I'll make all my decisions based on fundamental analysis. Furthermore, I'm not going to use leverage in my calculations, but I'll reduce my capital by the amount of commissions (0.1% per trade) and taxes (20% capital gains and 25% dividend). To find out the current price of the company's shares, just click the Play button on the chart. But please use this stuff only for educational purposes. Just so you know, this isn't investment advice. Here is a detailed overview of Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. NASDAQ:SFM : 1. Main areas of activity Sprouts Farmers Market is a U.S.-based retail company specializing in fresh, natural and organic foods. The company operates a chain of grocery stores designed to offer a “farm‑stand” experience — with a focus on produce, health‑oriented products and a curated selection of lifestyle‑friendly items. It falls within the consumer retail / food‑retailing industry, and its business segments revolve around grocery retailing of natural and organic food products in the U.S. 2. Business model Sprouts generates revenue primarily through its retail grocery operations (business‑to‑consumer, B2C). Customers visit Sprouts stores to purchase fresh produce, packaged organic/natural goods, deli, bakery, frozen foods, and other grocery items. The company also invests in new store openings and same‑store sales growth to drive expansion and profitability. In addition, it engages in store footprint expansion (new locations) and efficiency efforts (store size optimization, margin improvement) as part of its model. 3. Flagship products or services While “products” in retail are many, key aspects of Sprouts’ offering include: Fresh produce at the heart of its stores (“farm‑stand heritage”). Natural, organic and lifestyle‑friendly grocery items — including plant‑based, gluten‑free, keto/paleo‑friendly options. Grocery store services including deli, bakery, dairy, meat/seafood, bulk foods. Despite the lack of a public breakdown of revenue by category, the company's focus on high-margin, health-oriented products is its competitive advantage. 4. Key countries for business Sprouts’ operations are entirely within the United States. The company runs more than 400 stores across multiple states. Because the market is U.S.-centric, the most important region is the domestic U.S. consumer market — particularly states where Sprouts has high density, and where natural / organic grocery demand is strong. 5. Main competitors Key competitors for Sprouts include other U.S. grocery chains that either emphasize natural/organic products or general supermarkets with strong fresh/health‑focused assortments. Examples include: Whole Foods Market (owned by Amazon) – a major natural/organic specialist. Kroger Co. – large general‑grocery chain that also competes on fresh/healthy products. Publix Super Markets – regional player with store brands and emphasis on fresh/better food experience. Wegmans Food Markets and other premium supermarket chains. Competition arises on product mix, pricing, store experience, fresh/produce quality, and loyalty offerings. 6. External and internal factors contributing to profit growth External factors: Rising consumer demand for natural, organic and health‑oriented foods: Sprouts’ own commentary highlights that its “better‑for‑you” product assortments attract customers willing to spend more. Growth in same‑store sales and new store openings: In a recent period Sprouts reported growth in same‑store sales and net sales. Favorable macro trend toward fresh/healthy foods, lifestyle‑driven eating and premium grocery experiences. Internal factors: Store optimization: The company has discussed improving its margin structure and optimizing capital expenditures (CapEx) per store. Curated product mix and lifestyle‑oriented offerings (plant‑based, gluten‑free, etc.) which could allow higher margin than mass grocery. Loyalty programs and marketing aimed at increasing customer retention, basket size and frequency of shopping. For example, upgrades in product assortment and loyalty initiatives were emphasized in analyst commentary. 7. External and internal factors contributing to profit decline External factors: Highly competitive retail grocery market: margin pressures from national chains, discounters and online grocery. Inflation and increases in input costs (food, labor, energy) can squeeze margins if price increases aren’t fully passed to consumers. Economic downturns or shifts in consumer spending could reduce premium/health‑oriented grocery purchases. Supply chain disruptions, regulatory changes (e.g., organic certification costs, import/export tariffs) could raise costs or limit product availability. Internal factors: Execution risk in expansion: opening new stores requires capital and the risk that new locations may underperform. Margin risk if rising wage/benefit costs erode profitability or if discounting becomes necessary to compete. Dependence on a “better‑for‑you” positioning; if that niche gets commoditized or competitors copy the model, Sprouts could lose differentiation. Possible over‑reliance on U.S. market (lack of international diversification). 8. Stability of management Executive changes over past 5 years: A comprehensive list of CEO, CFO, or Chairperson changes was not found in readily accessible sources during this screening. Sprouts’ investor relations materials, however, emphasize strategic initiatives and capital allocation decisions, such as a substantial share repurchase program. Impact on corporate strategy and culture: The company appears to have a stable strategic focus on natural/organic fresh groceries, margin improvement, and store growth; the capital‑allocation decisions (store openings, CapEx discipline, share buybacks) suggest a coherent investment priority. For example, their presentation notes a “structurally improved margin profile”. If leadership turnover has been modest (i.e., no major disruption publicly noted), then strategic continuity is probably intact. However, without detailed executive change logs I cannot conclusively assess management stability beyond what is implied by ongoing strategy consistency. The company demonstrates steady long-term growth in earnings per share and total revenue, supported by strong working-capital discipline: days sales outstanding appear excellent, the debt-to-revenue ratio remains healthy, and operating, investing, and financing cash flows are solid. Medium-level indicators such as return on equity and gross margin show consistent improvement, while the operating expense ratio is trending positively, and both payables and inventory efficiency remain strong, though the current ratio shows no progress and requires monitoring for liquidity balance. With a P/E of 15, the valuation appears reasonable and reflects a sound margin of safety at current multiples. Despite the market's turbulent reaction to the latest financial statements, no critical news has been identified that could undermine stability or indicate risks of insolvency. Considering a diversification coefficient of 20 and a deviation of the current stock price from its annual average by more than 8 EPS, a 10% capital allocation was made at the closing price of the last trading day, maintaining a well-balanced portfolio position and a disciplined exposure aligned with diversification principles.

RADICO Price ActionRADICO (Radico Khaitan Ltd) has recently shown a moderate recovery after a corrective phase, supported by buying interest near major moving average support zones. Price action indicates consolidation with a slight bullish bias, as the stock is forming higher lows and attempting to break key resistance levels. RSI momentum is gradually improving from oversold territory, while MACD and Stochastics reflect early signs of upside momentum, though not yet confirmed by strong volume. Short-term trend remains cautious but positive as long as the stock holds above its 20-day moving average. Immediate resistance levels are observed at previous swing highs, with successful breakout likely to trigger a fresh upward move. Conversely, a sustained drop below recent support could restart the corrective trend. Price action near channel boundaries and reaction to news/events may create short-lived volatility, but the overall bias is shifting towards accumulation and gradual recovery unless a sharp downside reversal occurs.

Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading (HFT) in India1. Understanding Algorithmic Trading Algorithmic trading refers to the use of computer programs and mathematical models to automate the process of trading financial instruments such as equities, derivatives, currencies, and commodities. Instead of manual execution by human traders, algorithms follow predefined instructions based on time, price, quantity, and other market parameters. In India, algorithmic trading gained momentum after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) permitted it in 2008 for institutional investors. Since then, it has grown exponentially with the adoption of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Big Data analytics. Algorithmic trading strategies are typically designed to: Reduce transaction costs Minimize human emotions in trading Execute large orders without disrupting market prices Capitalize on small, short-lived price inefficiencies Common strategies include trend-following, statistical arbitrage, mean reversion, market making, and pairs trading. 2. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Explained High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is a specialized subset of algorithmic trading characterized by extremely high-speed trade execution, large volumes of orders, and very short holding periods. HFT firms rely on: Ultra-low latency networks Co-location facilities (where trading servers are placed near exchange servers) Advanced algorithms capable of executing thousands of trades per second The goal of HFT is to profit from microsecond-level market inefficiencies—such as differences in bid-ask spreads, arbitrage opportunities between exchanges, or momentary price dislocations. In India, HFT is primarily used by institutional investors, proprietary trading firms, and hedge funds that have access to advanced infrastructure and regulatory approvals. 3. Evolution of Algo and HFT in India India’s journey toward algorithmic and HFT trading began in the late 2000s. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) was among the first to offer Direct Market Access (DMA) and co-location services, enabling institutional participants to connect directly to the exchange infrastructure with minimal latency. 2008: SEBI allowed institutional investors to use algorithmic trading. 2010-2012: Exchanges introduced co-location services and low-latency networks. 2013 onwards: Rapid growth in automated order flow; by some estimates, over 40% of equity and derivatives trades were algorithmically driven. 2020s: Integration of AI, ML, and predictive analytics in trading algorithms. With rising competition among institutional players, Indian exchanges have continuously upgraded their technology to handle high message traffic, ensuring fairness and stability in automated markets. 4. Key Participants in Indian Algo and HFT Ecosystem Institutional Investors: Mutual funds, pension funds, and insurance companies use algorithmic systems to execute large orders efficiently. Proprietary Trading Firms: They rely heavily on HFT and statistical arbitrage strategies to exploit microsecond-level opportunities. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs): Many global firms deploy HFT strategies in Indian markets through subsidiaries or partnerships. Retail Traders: Although limited, retail participation is increasing through brokers offering API-based trading platforms and algorithmic bots. Exchanges and Brokers: NSE and BSE provide the technological backbone with co-location and data feed services, while brokers offer execution APIs and backtesting tools. 5. Technological Infrastructure Supporting HFT The success of algorithmic and HFT trading depends on speed, precision, and data quality. Indian exchanges have developed world-class infrastructure that supports high-frequency trading through: Co-location facilities for ultra-low latency trading High-speed fiber-optic and microwave communication networks Real-time market data feeds with millisecond granularity Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for automated order routing Advanced risk management systems to monitor orders and prevent errors Additionally, the rise of cloud computing and AI-driven analytics allows traders to process vast volumes of tick-level data and develop predictive models for future price movements. 6. Popular Algorithmic Trading Strategies in India Several algorithmic strategies are widely employed in Indian markets, including: Arbitrage Strategies: Exploiting price differences between cash and futures, or across exchanges (NSE vs. BSE). Market Making: Providing liquidity by continuously quoting buy and sell prices. Momentum and Trend Following: Identifying and riding price trends using moving averages or momentum indicators. Statistical Arbitrage: Using quantitative models to exploit temporary price inefficiencies between correlated assets. News-Based Trading: Using natural language processing (NLP) to react instantly to news or corporate announcements. 7. Regulatory Framework by SEBI Given the complexity and speed of algorithmic and HFT activity, SEBI plays a critical role in ensuring market integrity and fairness. The regulator has introduced several guidelines, including: Pre-trade risk checks: To prevent erroneous or large orders that could disrupt markets. Order-to-trade ratio limits: To control excessive order cancellations by HFT firms. Unique Algo IDs: Each algorithm must be registered and tested before deployment. Latency equalization measures: SEBI proposed “random speed bumps” to reduce unfair advantages from co-location. Surveillance systems: Exchanges continuously monitor unusual order patterns or spoofing activities. These measures ensure that algorithmic and HFT activities enhance liquidity without introducing instability or manipulation. 8. Benefits of Algorithmic and HFT in Indian Markets Algorithmic and high-frequency trading have brought several benefits to the Indian financial ecosystem: Increased Market Liquidity: Continuous order flow ensures tighter bid-ask spreads and efficient execution. Improved Price Discovery: Algorithms react quickly to new information, making prices more reflective of true value. Reduced Transaction Costs: Automated execution minimizes human errors and slippage. Enhanced Market Efficiency: Rapid arbitrage eliminates temporary price discrepancies. Accessibility for Retail Traders: With new APIs and algo platforms, small traders can deploy systematic strategies. 9. Challenges and Criticisms Despite its advantages, algo and HFT trading come with significant challenges: Market Fairness: HFT firms with superior technology can gain an unfair advantage over smaller participants. Flash Crashes: Erroneous algorithms or feedback loops can cause sudden market volatility. Systemic Risks: High interconnectivity among automated systems may amplify shocks. Regulatory Complexity: Constant innovation in trading algorithms challenges regulators to keep up. Infrastructure Costs: Access to co-location and high-speed data remains expensive, creating barriers for smaller firms. 10. Future Outlook of Algo and HFT Trading in India The future of algorithmic and HFT trading in India is poised for robust growth, driven by advancements in AI, machine learning, and big data analytics. Key emerging trends include: AI-driven Predictive Models: Algorithms capable of learning from historical and real-time data to make adaptive trading decisions. Blockchain Integration: Transparent and secure transaction systems reducing latency and settlement risk. API Democratization: Greater access for retail traders through open APIs and low-cost algo platforms. Smart Regulation: SEBI’s proactive stance on monitoring algorithmic activity while encouraging innovation. Cross-Asset Automation: Expansion of algorithms to currencies, commodities, and fixed-income markets. With India’s rapidly digitalizing financial ecosystem and growing participation from domestic and global investors, algorithmic and HFT trading will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s capital markets. Conclusion Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading represent the cutting edge of financial market evolution in India. They have transformed the landscape of stock trading from human-driven judgment to machine-driven precision and speed. While challenges related to fairness, systemic risk, and infrastructure persist, regulatory oversight by SEBI and technological innovation continue to balance growth with stability. As India’s markets mature, algorithmic and HFT trading will not only enhance liquidity and efficiency but also position the country as a leading global hub for financial technology innovation—marking a new era of smart, data-driven, and automated trading.

Why Market Rotations Matter for Every Trader and Investor1. What Is Market Rotation? Market rotation refers to the flow of money between different sectors, asset classes, or investment themes over time. It happens as investors shift their capital based on changing economic conditions, interest rates, inflation expectations, or risk appetite. For example, during periods of economic recovery, investors often move money into cyclical sectors like banking, manufacturing, and real estate. In contrast, when the economy slows, funds often rotate into defensive sectors like healthcare, consumer staples, or utilities that provide stable earnings regardless of the cycle. At its core, market rotation is like a dance — money never leaves the market entirely; it simply moves to where it expects the best performance next. 2. The Economic Cycle and Its Impact Market rotations are deeply connected to the economic cycle, which includes four major phases: expansion, peak, contraction, and recovery. Expansion: When growth is strong and confidence is high, investors prefer cyclical stocks like autos, financials, and industrials. Peak: As the economy overheats, inflation rises, and interest rates climb, investors start trimming exposure to growth-heavy stocks. Contraction: During slowdowns or recessions, investors seek safety in defensive sectors such as utilities, FMCG, and healthcare. Recovery: When conditions improve again, capital flows back into riskier assets, including technology and small caps. Recognizing where we are in the economic cycle helps traders and investors anticipate which sectors will lead and which will lag, improving portfolio allocation and timing. 3. Sector Rotation – The Heart of Market Dynamics Sector rotation is one of the most visible forms of market rotation. It reflects how investors reallocate funds among various industries to capture relative strength. For example: When interest rates rise, banks and financials tend to benefit from higher lending margins. When commodity prices surge, energy and metal stocks often outperform. When technology innovation dominates, IT and digital sectors lead the charge. Smart investors track sector rotation through indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), moving averages, or relative performance charts to identify which areas of the market are gaining momentum. Understanding sector rotation allows traders to be “in the right place at the right time,” maximizing returns while minimizing exposure to lagging industries. 4. Style Rotation – Growth vs. Value Market rotations don’t only happen between sectors; they also occur between investment styles — primarily growth and value. Growth stocks (like tech companies) thrive when the economy is expanding and interest rates are low. Value stocks (like traditional industrials or financials) perform better when inflation and interest rates rise. During the 2010s, growth stocks led global markets as central banks kept interest rates near zero. However, as inflation spiked post-2020, value sectors like energy and banking began to outperform. Recognizing when the market is shifting from growth to value (or vice versa) helps traders realign portfolios early and avoid being caught on the wrong side of market trends. 5. Asset Rotation – Beyond Stocks Market rotation also extends across asset classes. Investors move funds between equities, bonds, commodities, and even cash depending on macroeconomic trends. For example: When inflation rises, money often flows out of bonds (which lose value as yields rise) and into commodities like gold or oil. During uncertainty, capital moves out of equities and into safe-haven assets like the U.S. dollar or government bonds. When global liquidity improves, funds rotate back into risk assets like emerging markets and small caps. For traders, tracking these inter-asset flows provides early signals of broader market shifts and risk sentiment changes. 6. How Traders Can Profit from Market Rotations For traders, identifying early signs of sector or asset rotation can open up opportunities for high-probability trades. Use volume and price action to detect institutional money flow. Rising volume in a sector ETF or leading stock often indicates the start of a rotation. Track leadership changes: If defensive sectors start outperforming, it may signal risk aversion and potential correction. Combine technical and fundamental signals: For example, use breakout patterns along with macro cues like inflation data or rate hikes. Rotations often begin before the broader market realizes it, so being early gives traders a decisive advantage. 7. Long-Term Investors: Why It Matters Even More Long-term investors benefit immensely from recognizing market rotations. Allocating capital to leading sectors during each stage of the economic cycle can dramatically enhance portfolio returns and stability. For instance: During recoveries, investors can overweight cyclicals and small caps. As the economy matures, shift to growth and technology. During downturns, emphasize defensives and high-dividend stocks. This proactive rebalancing approach not only boosts returns but also reduces drawdowns during turbulent markets. In short, understanding rotations leads to smarter asset allocation and compounding performance. 8. Tools and Indicators to Track Rotations A few popular tools and indicators can help identify market rotations early: Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG): Visually map sector momentum and relative strength. ETF Flows: Track where institutional money is moving through sector ETFs. Breadth Indicators: Monitor how many stocks are participating in rallies or declines. Volume Profile & Market Structure: Analyze how institutional volume shifts across price levels and sectors. By combining these tools with macro awareness, investors can stay aligned with the flow of capital — the real engine of market performance. 9. Common Mistakes Traders Make During Rotations Many traders and investors fail to recognize market rotations until it’s too late. Here are common pitfalls: Chasing past winners: Buying tech at the top while money rotates to energy or value stocks. Ignoring macro trends: Overlooking interest rate changes or inflation data that trigger sector shifts. Emotional bias: Staying loyal to a sector even when it loses relative strength. Avoiding these mistakes requires discipline, regular analysis, and the flexibility to adapt your strategy when the market narrative changes. 10. The Bottom Line – Follow the Flow, Not the Noise Market rotations aren’t just another trading concept — they are the heartbeat of market behavior. They reveal where big money is moving and why. Whether you’re managing a short-term portfolio or building long-term wealth, understanding rotations helps you: Anticipate market trends Position in leading sectors early Manage risk more effectively Capture outsized returns through strategic allocation In the end, successful trading and investing come down to aligning with where capital is flowing next — not where it has been. By mastering market rotations, you move from reacting to trends to predicting and profiting from them.

A daily Market WrapMarket Mood: Mildly Moody US equities hit a speed bump as the dollar tripped for the second day running. Treasury yields, which had shot up recently, cooled off slightly—though the 10-year looks like it’s eyeing another climb. Precious metals made a modest comeback, thanks to the softer dollar, but not enough to justify breaking out the champagne (maybe a half-smile at best). Oil, meanwhile, slid to a two-week low, and Asia decided to keep things boring with flat equities and currencies America’s Political Soap Opera: Shutdown, Season 2 US assets are looking fragile, and the biggest villain is the government shutdown, now so long it deserves its own Netflix series. With Republicans and Democrats locked in a staring contest, government functions are grinding to a halt and the economic fallout is starting to bite. To add to the drama, Democrats scored sweeping wins in local elections, and President Trump is blaming the shutdown for the Republican stumble. The big question: will this political stalemate finally turn into a compromise, or will Washington keep playing chicken with the economy? Corporate Reality Check: Layoffs Ahead? In a less-than-cheerful headline, US firms announced the highest number of job cuts for any October in over 20 years. The culprits: AI efficiency drives, cautious consumers, tighter corporate budgets, and rising costs. Economists warn this could flip the labor market from today’s “low hire, low fire” equilibrium to a much scarier “low hire, high fire” one—basically, fewer jobs and more pink slips. Central Banks: The Brits Blink First Across the pond, the Bank of England played it safe, keeping rates unchanged in a tight 5–4 vote. The Bank noted that inflation has “peaked,” subtly hinting at future cuts. In plain English: the BoE is done fighting inflation and may soon start fighting recession fears. The move wasn’t a surprise, but the dovish tone was softer than expected—like a stern teacher suddenly saying, “Alright, you’ve learned your lesson.” On Deck: US Data & Fed Chatter Today’s economic lineup features the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index and the New York Fed’s Consumer Inflation Expectations survey—two handy barometers for how optimistic (or not) Americans are feeling about prices and paychecks. Adding to the noise, Fed officials Williams, Jefferson, and Miran are scheduled to speak. Expect markets to hang on every word, as if one of them might accidentally say “rate cut.” India Watch: Trade Talks & Banking Tweaks Back home, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said that India–US trade negotiations are “going very well”, though several “sensitive and serious” issues remain. Translation: progress, but not quite popcorn-worthy yet. Meanwhile, the RBI kept its steady hand on the rupee, continuing its interventions to avoid any wild FX swings. The RBI also reaffirmed its cap on voting rights for large bank shareholders, a reminder that no matter how big you are, in Indian banking, you still don’t get to call all the shots.

ALPH | Testing 2023 Accumulation Support – Big Reversal Ahead?While the chart shows a significant correction, the current price at the $0.12 critical horizontal support, which served as a robust 2023 accumulation zone, presents a highly positive outlook for a potential strong bullish reversal. The psychological $0.10 level offers additional support, and the asset's history demonstrates its capacity for explosive upside from these undervalued accumulation areas. This setup suggests that Alephium is at a pivotal point for long-term investors.

The price is trending lower within a descending channel. Key Levels: Major Supply (Resistance): 84,200 - 84,400. This area (the breakdown level and previous FVG) is the key overhead resistance. A "Sell on Rise" strategy is favored in this zone. Major Demand (Support): 82,900 - 83,200. This is the most critical support zone, aligning with the lowest point of the previous correction and a major FVG (Fair Value Gap). Outlook: The short-term bias is Bearish. A breakdown below 83,300 would trigger a deeper correction towards 82,900. 1-Hour Chart (Intermediate View) Structure: The 1H chart is strongly bearish, trading in a well-defined descending channel, confirming the short-term correction. The market is making lower lows and lower highs, and the price closed near the channel's lower boundary. Key Levels: Immediate Resistance: 83,600 (Upper boundary of the descending channel). Immediate Support: 83,200 (Lower boundary of the descending channel). 15-Minute Chart (Intraday View) Structure: The 15M chart confirms the steep descending channel and strong intraday bearish control. The market is making lower highs and lower lows, closing with a small bearish candle. Key Levels: Intraday Supply: 83,600. Intraday Demand: 83,200. Outlook: Strongly Bearish. 📈 Structure Analysis & Trade Plan: 7th November Market Outlook: The Sensex is in a strong bearish trend, with the structure favoring continuation towards major support at 83,200. The overall strategy is Sell on Rise or Breakdown. Bearish Scenario (Primary Plan: Correction Continuation/Sell on Rise) Justification: The breakdown below 83,600 and the confirmed descending channel favor continuation toward the macro support. Entry: Short entry on a successful retest and rejection of the 83,600 - 83,800 level (upper channel resistance/FVG) OR Short on a decisive break and 15-minute candle close below 83,200. Stop Loss (SL): Place a stop loss above 84,000 (above the immediate swing high). Targets: T1: 83,200 (Lower channel support/Major FVG). T2: 82,900 (Next major demand zone). Bullish Scenario (Counter-Trend/Reversal) Justification: A short-covering bounce is possible if the market aggressively reclaims the channel. Trigger: A sustained move and close above 84,000. Entry: Long entry on a confirmed 15-minute close above 84,000. Stop Loss (SL): Below 83,600. Targets: T1: 84,200 (Major overhead resistance). T2: 84,400 (Previous swing high). Key Levels for Observation: Immediate Decision Point: 83,200 - 83,600 zone. Bearish Confirmation: Sustained trade below 83,200. Bullish Confirmation: A move back above 84,000. Line in the Sand: 83,600. Below this, the trend is strongly bearish.
