Weekly Map May 30 to June 3rd

As expected markets declined further and post-May 25th showed first signs of reversal, or value buying emerged around 15800 levels. There is complete negativity & be it anybody with lots of buts and if, even the most seasoned investor is stressed. It is not easy and also sensible to be rigid and firm, while Star Sun is transiting Nakshatra Kruttika. The technology sector saw the wildest swing of recommendation, at Euphoric expensive valuations strong buying recommendations, and now at the reasonable valuations sell recommendations.

Market sentiment is negative, and while there is a constant SIP flow and new investors coming in, the trading community is in bearish mode.

We could not participate much in selling or buying, we kept revisiting our ideas, and delayed actions helped us better.

Technicals sideways consolidation on the weekly chart, there was one minor sell pattern that has already given the targeted 15700 on the charts, while we gave targets of 15750, 16300 way back in December 2021, and January 2022, we were never in extreme bearish mindset, as price behavior does not show any signs of strong & matured hands reducing or exiting from their investments. As mentioned in the last week, further hammering with higher volumes would be better, and reducing the range of the price movement is needed of another 2 or 3 weeks. The previous pullback or the bounce was very strong, and it indicated select counters have witnessed further buying. The global scenario became visibly bad, and then followed major selling and profit booking, interestingly Indian markets held, breaking of earlier low, driving out weak hands, and algo systems become bearish so even the trading longs get squared up, and that sets the foundation for the new bull markets. Technical levels nothing has changed so the previous week remains still valid.

TimeMap of the current week, a major change is SUN has entered Nakshatra Rohini. The ruling deity is Bramha, the primary motivation is material liberation, or to get out of survival worries. The Nakshatra has visualization, artistic and creative abilities so good for people interested in arts. The meaning of the nakshatra name ‘Rohini’ is ‘growing’ it slows steadily growing. The nakshatra resides in Taurus, which materialistic sign, these people are loyal and once attached do not change their loyalty easily. Moon is exalted in this sign, imagination and creativity get the constructive/execution edge. These people tend to be responsible and disciplined executors.

The shadow side is greed makes them blind and materialistic desire becomes an obsession. Being in sign Taurus, obvious lazy, lack the motivation & initiative abilities.

TimeMap is showing a positive close in the coming week, and surprisingly the best sector is technology. Broadly it is one of the best Solar zones to look for new investment ideas or turnaround in the existing blue chips. example HDFC AMC,  

 

Positive stocks – HINDLEVER, HCL TECH, WIPRO, ABFRL, COLGATE, ZYDUSCAD, and ZEE.

Negative Stocks – TVS motor, BPCL, SUN pharma, Fortis, Reliance, Hdfc Bank. and PI IND.

May 30, 2022: Monday Bad Day

Sentiment in the markets would be cautiously optimistic, most participants would be confused, inability to arrive at conclusive decisions would add volatility to the markets. We believe staying away is the best position, and avoid participation if there is even the slightest doubt.

May 31, 2022: Tuesday – Mean Reversion

The day is extremely deceptive, especially after 10.30 expect sharp movement in select stocks, the move would be extremely lighting fast, and traders will not get time to react, better to keep stops in the systems. STBT recommended.

June 01, 2022: Wednesday – Auspicious Day

Momentum breakout and reversal trades would give the finest results, and the profits. High beta private banks and tech stocks would hog major limelight. Communication would be under pressure. Post Lunch sudden sell-off in the markets cannot be ruled out, the sell-off would be in a select few stocks only.

June 02, 2022: Thursday – Auspicious Day

Much better Auspicious day than Wednesday, especially for the ETF investments. Tithi 3 gives big moves, and more often bullish, do not be surprised. Our bias is positive for the day, rising accumulation cannot be ruled out. STBT recommended.

June 04, 2022: Friday: Good to invest till 14

Gap down opening is expected. Tithi is deceptive and also bearish, Nakshatra Punevasu with SUN in Rohini best to initiate bottom-up approach adds new investments. Negative closing would be considered a very positive signal for the next week.

 

Overall positive week.

 Volatility is welcomed by the algo systems, options, and the equity traders, as long as they are making money, volatility is disliked when the participants find it difficult to make money through the volatility. While going through many Twitter handles, realized the rudest of the rude, over-confident, aggressive participants were defensive and trying to gain sympathy, explaining how they have made mistakes. We had mentioned somewhere that as per our observation, wealth destruction in the stock market is rare when Venus is strong. Jupiter and Venus both the planets are in the same sign, the influence has disturbed even the most stable minds, and confused the best of the trader. We witnessed the outcome as extreme volatility, WAQT is about to change, and the increasing noise is indicating that we are close to something.

 Technically – Close above 16760 will give the first sign of hopes for the bulls, and a warning sign to the shorts or bears. Above 16960 2nd confirmation of the trend reversal, and the close above17350 will push markets back into the uptrend. We would be happy to see more consolidation at the current levels, and sideways movement would be welcomed. On the upside, 16400 and 16750 is strong supply zone, trapped investors, and speculators would attempt to get out. We are suggesting not to enter for the short term, but 4 months trades, long side trades would reward big. The downside levels have been already given.

 TimeMap - Coming week, Venus will enter sign Aries, Strong hands & the Speculators would be very active building up positions selectively in their favorite counters, would include tech, agro-chem, and selective consumer stocks. The reason is of this statement is not stand-alone based on Venus, but Rahu in Aries – Venus together, 3rd aspect of seasoned wise Saturn, their position is Labh Yog, or 60 Degree from each other. Insurance companies would be big investors in the markets. Cement is going to see strong flows. The position of the Sun is in Taurus, which means natural resources, PSU oil companies would see a big rise, and surprise would come from the AIRLINE industry. Surprise – positive – TECHM, SUNPHARMA, GODREJCP, Coal India, AMAR RAJA, LTI, IOC, EXIDE, and MARICO. BIG winner from the Pharma sector in the current week.

 

May 23, 2022: Monday – Bad Day – Avoid new Investment – Reduce Longs.

Ideally, day traders should participate after 11.30, more clarity would be seen on charts after 10.30 and participation can be initiated after the 2nd confirmation. A positive close today will be considered a negative sign for the next 2 days.

May 24, 2022: Tuesday: Good Day.

Gap down opening is an opportunity to invest, and even square up shorts. Broadly speaking a positive day for the markets, the intraday movement would be very choppy. Mercury 60 Mars, Saturn 60 Venus, indicate positive for the technology sector. STBT is recommended.

May 25, 2022: Wednesday: Directional movement is expected.

While everything looks good for the day, there is some uneasiness, and a lot of money can be made by looking forward to short-sell trades.

May 26, 2022: Thursday: Sentiment Bearish – Contra trade

Market sentiment would be bearish, or extreme cautious, while the best strategy would be to take contrarian positions. A positive close is expected, and it could be a surprise big one.

The buy and Sell strategy could be rewarding.

May 27, 2022: Friday: Long Short  position

Good speculative day, Technology could be under pressure and finest day to take long positions. Broadly speaking first half is very good, post 11.48 am do expect a selling pressure, and selective shorts can be created. The best strategy would be the long and short neutral basket.

Based on the Solar date, we were able to anticipate a bearish trend from 5th May onwards, we expected 16100 and even felt there would be a retest of 15650 levels. and yet on the auspicious day of Thursday, we were surprised by the intensity of the fall, we felt it would be about two hundred points max, and sentiment kept hitting lows. Anyway, there is some more pain left, from the time cycle perspective it is up to May 23rd, and technically it is up to 15545, and a small margin for the volatility means 15300. The surprising fact is that the pullback from the lows of 24-12 16410, and 11-3 15671, the bounce was extraordinarily strong, and that made us slightly overconfident, and we took it lightly or assumed that there would be enough volatility and markets will give the opportunity to exit or reduce long positions in stocks and also ETF.

 

Technically, we have been bearish, with aggressive sell calls with firm targets on the Nifty, overall charts need consolidation and volatility contraction. The size of the intraday price movement has to be narrowed down. the reversal would take a significant amount of time, or at least 45 days from May 25th, before sentiment in the markets turns positive. The levels 16300 and 15900 were given, and further probabilities are still open.

 

Transit of Sun in Nakshatra Kruttika till May 25th will keep adding pressure on the markets. The name of the Nakshatra is Kruttika – it means think twice or thrice – reconfirm the logic before initiating action. Time Cycle is still not in favor of the bulls, and the further decline seems a very bright chance, another 4% seems an easy downside target. From May 25th onwards time cycle is turning positive. Sell in May, go away, has proved correct repeatedly. Typically, our observation is post Monsoon, Mid-June onwards consolidation, and actually, market capitalization growth picks up momentum from July onwards.

 

The next 15 Days' gain could be from the Nifty Next 50 Index. The FMCG sector could attract the biggest fund flow, followed by the banking stocks, especially the top ten in the market cap.

 

Moving forward to weekly broad view.

May 16th,2022: Monday – Volatile Day, the overall day seems positive, multiple aspects with the moon indicates alternate bout of rising and fall would generate a lot of trading signals, and trading signals post 13.45 would give better results.

 

May 17, 2022: Tuesday Seems more of a corrective day, retracement indicators would give the best results. Based on the Astronomical coordinates of SUN & MOON, a position trade of 9 to 14 days would be best. The day seems bearish, but it is going to be especially important for the metal and construction companies. Intraday sell trades would be rewarding.

 

May 18, 2022: Wednesday: Big day of the week, wide directional movement is expected. 48 hours would be critical, a directional Nifty movement of 450 points will not surprise us, as of now technically & TimeMap is favoring a bearish camp. Our observation is Tithi & Nakshatra of 18th is best to take contrarian trade set up, those who are high risk-takers should use options strategies considering 450 points movement on either side in 48 hours. We would prefer contrarian bullish trades against the trend. Mars 0 Neptune, Technology bull will surrender in a particular stock, or his position would get liquidated. Another big blow in the crypto markets cannot be ruled out.

 

May 19th, 2022, Thursday, Tithi is bearish and also the most deceptive. Nakshatra favors profit booking which means a rising trend cannot be ruled out, overall view is in case of panic do initiate long positions. SUN 120 PLUTO favors large PSU companies and specially select Pharma stocks see revival, and a turnaround in the PSU banking is a big chance.

 

May 20th, 2022: Fridays: Bullish Day, sentiment in the market would be whichever direction market opens in the same direction it would close with a big margin. Momentum Indicators should be used.

 

The Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only opening can give big bearish moves, from Wednesday 2nd half we are incredibly positive till Friday and big gains cannot be ruled out.

Weekly TimeMap of May 9th to 14th.

We were expecting a panic sell on from 4th to 5th, and a reversal towards the close on 5th, but that did not happen, from the weekly opening we also expected a positive close, but the sell-off was too broad-based. The impact of the SOLAR date and the follow-up action has given a big result. We were clear that 4th is best for the short sell trades, but we anticipated on the 5th follow up panic dip and reversal were anticipated. The Time cycle gives insight into the potency of a movement, Time does not understand UP or DOWN, positive, or negative, Time gives an insight into a Momentum. Trading time cycle is difficult because you have to be a follower, anticipation turns out to be suicidal. The Surprise of RBI came on the 5th on the day Sun 0 Uranus, an external force that influences human minds to initiate action or steps, which get discounted or responded in the stock exchange prices and sentiment.

 

There are 3 major Solar Time Zones, Weekly signals triggered in those can give the best low risk and high rewards position trades within 30 days. We have seen 1:3 extended to 15 times within 30 days, 1st falls in January 2nd in May, and 3rd falls in September. On a serious note, by being active in the markets for just 3 months from the SOLAR triggers, speculators or traders can easily make around 15% on the capital deployed.

 

Currently, Venus is strong or exalted in the sign Pisces, so the probability of wealth destruction is low, and volatility would increase further. Venus when in the sign Taurus, it would best Time zone for the Wealth creation signals. Planet Venus will enter sign Taurus on 19th June, and the best aspect with ‘Jupiter 60 Venus’ would be around 29th June, a buffer of 4 days on both sides, would be 24th to 5th July would be the best 18 months wealth creation signals would get triggered.

Banks, Food and Logistic Business, also it would be good for the Cement companies.

 

Technical Analysis is easier to learn and understand if one practices it from the point of view of adaptability and flexibility rather than trying to achieve exact perfection. It is not a science, and it is a more artistic method. Lines can add more confusion, nothing is linear not even the light, and yet chartists draw straight lines.

Line Drawn by Laxman triggers the whole Ramayana when SITA crosses the line. No Borderline of a nation is clear, it creates more confusion. I do not really like drawing lines, yet on Twitter, I posted the below Chart and recommendation for December 2021. There was a clear indication that markets would be in a sideways declining zone, lines can be drawn, when your understanding of the chart is really good, otherwise it would increase more losses.

  

https://twitter.com/mahesht72/status/1472588512180330502

 

As of now, the current move is in the process and probably 16250 to 16100 zone will attract profit booking from the strong hands. Consolidation of 4 to 6 weeks is needed at the current levels and gradual declining volatility. The current down-trend mentioned previously has the potency to test 15300 and panic bottom of 14900 to 14700. But, the TimeMap is positive, and the below 15000 chances look extremely bleak.

 

 

in the coming week, the first 2 days of the week maximum negative impact would be seen. Ideally, after Tuesday there should not be a new low on the screen. No major planet aspect or critical Tithi & Nakshatra makes it a very stable week, and there would be an extremely small range of movement during the week. We would not be giving a day-wise insight in the current week. The most auspicious day of the week is Thursday, and good to sell in Tuesday.

 

Next week Monday that is May 16th is not a good day, and we expect bearish markets.
