20th Sep 2024 — Last week’s stance change paid off, Nifty up 1.9%
Nifty Stance Bullish ️⬆️
Back-to-back 1.9% weekly moves, Nifty moves an astonishing 953 points over the last 2 weeks. There is nothing that could possibly stop this train.
What is more interesting is that 100% of this move came on Thursday + Friday, till then Nifty was flat and would have given the impression that the week may be going sideways. The good thing is that we started the week with a bullish mindset, ensuring we did not run into losses, unlike many professional traders who lost a lot on Friday alone.
The losses on Friday for those who traded Sensex were because of the 1.3% sudden move that came in a range of 8 minutes, it really looked inorganic and manipulative. These days, it is quite easy to predict when the HFTs are gearing up to deploy their stop loss hunting, the wiser strategy is not to play.
For the next week also, we wish to maintain the bullish stance and would like to switch back to a neutral stance only if we drop below 25528.
BankNifty Stance Bullish ️⬆️
The run on BankNifty was much better and more fierce than N50, we went up an amazing 2049pts ~ 3.95% last week. Unlike Nifty, which started showing its bullish breakouts on Thursday, BankNifty started on Wednesday itself.
Over the last 2 weeks, BN is up 3324pts — it has been nothing short of a dream for the bulls. Meanwhile, what is surprising is that it was even good for non-directional algo traders like me. The premiums were good enough that short intraday straddles with rolling stop losses made me good money. Occasionally I had to wind up the Algo’s early because the index was looking to go ballistic. What I am trying to say is that BN gave me enough heads-up to exit my non-directional trades — which is not usual. The usual thing is BN always traps their straddlers.
For the next week also, we wish to maintain our bullish stance and look for long only opportunities. I will not be running the non-directional algos unless BN gives me a “ran and tired” indication.
