25000 NIFTY’S LAKHSMAN REKHA CAUTION AHEAD OF UNION BUDGET-2024

Dated: 20/07/2024

Another ATH for the Nifty last week taking Nifty inching closer towards 25000 mark by making high’s of 24853.80 but failure to retain the gains by the bulls remains a concern for the upcoming week as bulls took the closing towards 24530.90 making Gravestone Doji kind of pattern on top of Weekly charts & making bulls obliged to run for cover just before the upcoming union budget.

As of now Nifty has almost tested 25000 with high’s of 24853.80 while “Nifty IT” has successfully completed our foremost target of 40000 mark by making high’s of 40584.95 & “Nifty FMCG” too successfully completed our target of 60000 mark with high’s of 61468.95. Meanwhile all the three indices made a new ATH with record breaking volumes all this just in last week.

For the upcoming week the Union-Budget 2024 is coming & sheer volatility may hit the Dalaal Street which could be descendent with formation of Gravestone Doji on weekly charts of Nifty while Nifty FMCG & Nifty IT could remain neutral to slightly bullish in the coming week ahead. However, “Nifty IT” now has an upgraded target of 53000 magnificent mark by March 2025 which could be followed by several pull backs & cool offs towards 38000-36000 along its way but eventually it has full potential to easily achieve 53000 magnificent mark by March 2025.

On a full potential the heavy weight giants like TCS, Infosys & Wipro all outperform in “Nifty IT” but after certain cool off from current levels. The view remains bullish & can be added on cool off of 5-7% from current levels in these counters only.

After the India Vix from 9.85 tested 31.710 & then eventually cooled off towards 11.63 completing our target range of 13-14 now it is trading at 13.80. It is highly likely to rise once again till the upcoming Budget in July series towards the broader levels of 18-20 & volatility once again to hit the Dalaal Street.

As per the last release on June 1, gross GST collections in the first two months of the current financial year stood at Rs 3.83 lakh crore. “This represents an impressive 11.3 per cent year-on-year growth, driven by a strong increase in domestic transactions (up 14.2 per cent) and marginal increase in imports (up 1.4 per cent). After accounting for refunds, the net GST revenue in till May 2024 stood at Rs 3.36 lakh crore, reflecting a growth of 11.6 per cent compared to the same period last year”, the release said.

Nifty last week continued its journey towards another ATH by making high’s of 24853.80 to give a close at 24530.90 with efforts of it testing 25000 while making Gravestone Doji on Weekly charts which now fills the shivers around the bulls & bears may get the taste of win in the coming week ahead. In Nifty 25000 mark may now act as Lakshman Rekha & the cool off / profit booking could be imminent towards 23991–23650 kind of levels. In the July series the run-up for higher India Vix has began & it is expected to test towards 18-20 till the Budget session.

Sensex too carried on its journey towards another ATH 81587.76 to give a close at 80604.65 completing out target of 81000 mark & thereafter making Gravestone Doji kind of pattern on Weekly charts top. It the high’s of 81600 remains safe it has potential of cool off / profit booking towards the lower levels of 78000-76500. . In the July series the run-up for higher India Vix has began & it is expected to test towards 18-20 till the Budget session.

Bank Nifty however if far from making another ATH with results of heavy weights like Kotak Bank, HDFC Bank & in mid-cap counter RBL Bank posting excellent results this may hold up these levels but with volatilities we remain neutral in this indices with 53000 on the upside as immediate resistance while 52000 being immediate support levels. Any side breach would provide us towards 54000-55000 / 50000-49500 kind of levels respectively on the either side.

In Nifty Financial Services may show profit booking towards 23000 kind of levels while immediate resistance remains at 23900 kind of levels.

In Nifty IT sector we have been consistently bullish for 40000 mark & we have successfully got it by making recent high’s of 40682.70 to give a close at 39923.30. We now remain neutral to slightly bullish for the upcoming week but we have been already adding up that the second half of the FY 2024-25 would be completely of “Nifty IT” sector boosting heavy weights like TCS, Infosys & Wipro etc. We have now upgrading our positional target in Nifty IT towards 53000 magnificent mark by March 2025 any cool off towards 38000-36000 remains an opportunity to add long heavy longs. Stay bullish in this sector with any marginal dip in the heavy weight counter like 5-7% would be an excellent opportunity to add up the longs.

Till March 2024 the number of Demat Accounts has risen to whopping 14.39cr. which not only helps the capital markets directly but also directly to Equity investments.

In the FY 2023-24 so far the Direct Tax collection has amounting to whopping Rs. 18, 90,259 cr. has seen the surge of nearly 19.88% as compared to its previous year collection of Rs. 15,76,776 cr. .
