Amit, I see that India Cements is extremely overbrought even after the market correction (MFI close to 70). Do you intend to hang on to it at these levels or is it better sell (if in profit) and to re-enter on new lows? My estimates are that it will come back to the low 90's in the next couple of sessions. Your advise will help valdating my thoughts. thanks Kishore
Hi Kishore, thanks for the input.
As far as I can see, the chances of India Cements dipping to low 90s are low. 92 forms a strong support which has not been tested in more than a month. This time factor is by no means a definitive indicator, but certainly an important one. Above 92, 95 forms the next support, and this has withstood some pretty savage battering on a few occasions including on Thursday last.
In the wider picture, the market as a whole has been in an extreme over bought zone consistently over a longish spell, and this has been rectified only in the last two or three sessions.
You have used MFI (Money Flow Index), which is good enough, but in this instance it may be considered a rather rigid indicator.
The main difference between this and RSI (Relative Strength Index) which I would use here, is that MFI is volume weighted. India Cements is a very liquid counter consistently, and taking readings from MFI alone may tend to mislead the analysis.
Also, there have been a few bulk deals here in the recent past. Given that high volume single trades are more significant than numerous smaller trades, the Money Flow Index would reflect this, comparing today's average price with yesterday's, weighing the average price by volume.
The MFI is a momentum indicator that is similar to the RSI in both interpretation and calculation. However, MFI being volume weighted, we may want to look at other aspects of a scrip while analysing it.
India Cements has all the makings of a bullish counter. The resilience to battering and continued high liquidity are sound indicators of this. When in the trend, it has been pressing against all its resistance levels, trading in a very narrow band with high volume, giving further evidence of the strong bullish under-current.
At this point, closing at 102.50 after a high of at 105 on Friday, it is certainly at a good and balanced zone on the RSI, which appears to give a buy signal.
Should the market remain stable, and nothing changes on the fundamentals of IndCem, I expect it to test higher levels.
There are some resistances right above here at 96-99-105-111, but it has broken past these in the recent past, some on more than one or two occasions.
Regards.
