Technical Analysis is probably one of the most under-rated fields of study but the easiest to learn and implement. This blog is about investment ideas identified on the charts using price-patterns, elliot wave analysis, indicators and other tools.
Hello Readers!
Punjab Alkalies and Chemicals Ltd. (PACL) fell almost 75% from its lifetime high of 85 and took support at 21.50.
Since that bottom, PACL has ensured in an uptrend.
RSI is in the bullish range oscillating in the 40-80 range from the previous bearish range of 20-60
PACL is currently on the support trendline it has respected on the past three occasions as circled in green
A closed look at the daily chart below indicates that the support is very strong due to 3 reasons:
1) The presence of the 200 EMA (exponential moving average) is a strong technical indicator and has often proven to be a reliable one.
2) During the last leg up PACL broke out above the 200EMA with a gap up (highlighted by the circle), and is now on the same level, making this a psychologically important level and therefore a potential price support
3) The up-trendline as discussed above and highlighted by an arrow in the chart below is, of course, evident support.
These pieces of evidence from the moving average, trendline, gap ups, and most importantly, from RSI, when grouped together, are enough to hope that the stock will reverse and trend higher.
To provide for whiplash, I would lookout for a closing lower than Rs. 38 in the stock to reconsider the analysis, but until then, I will continue to be hopeful of the stock scaling up to Rs. 85 again. That is a potential upside of 88% from the current stock price of Rs. 45!

Hello Readers!
Please read the analysis I recently did on INDOCO REMEDIES for a friend.
I usually do not cover Indoco Remedies but happy to analyse the stock upon request. If you would like stocks to be analysed please write to me at kchamaris1993@gmail.com or comment below!
INDOCO
Current Market Price- 257
Target 412 (+60%)
Stoploss 235 (-8.5%)
The short term direction for Indoco looks very unclear as the stock is range-bound, and neither the price nor the momentum indicator is giving clear signals about its short term potential action. However, the movement is encapsulated between two trendlines with resistance at 315 and support in the range of 235-240. A breakout beyond either level with help in determining the direction.
The stock is easier to analyse for the long term- It has confirmed a bullish trend in January 2020 as shown on he chart but experienced the covid shock in march 2020. Ignoring trendline breach (as it was sentiment-driven), the stock has clearly resumed the uptrend. The last few months have witnessed higher volumes (blue circle) which means there is accumulation going on in the stock and is positive. As per the weekly chart, I am inclined to believe that a target of 412 is very much possible. At the current price of 257, this means a +60% target with stop loss at 235(-8%). The risk-reward appears promising if one is willing to play the stock for the long term.
I would love to hear your thoughts about this INDOCO.
Thanks for reading!

The article below was written for the 7th edition of the Energy Insights Newsletter- EnSights. The newsletter is circulated to select employees in Royal Dutch Shell- where I work as an Economic Advisor- in order to share my technically driven insights on the global energy industry.
Hello Readers,
The energy paradigm continues to change every single day. Keeping an eye on the energy sources of the past, present and future is ever more important to timely spot opportunities and make sound investment decisions. In this article, we start with a look at crude oil - to gauge where it might be headed, followed by the technical analysis of a few clean energy companies.
In the previous article, we
discussed the grim future of crude oil while it was surfing at the level
$42- $43.80 in August. Post that article, crude glided lower and
found support $36 in September. While this 18% decline was swift (over 5 trading
days), crude has since then been oscillating in a broadening triangle pattern
as shown on the chart. The bound lines are noticeably diverging from each other
with $42 posing a clear resistance to price. A look at the momentum indicator,
RSI, indicates that weakness in crude oil price will continue as RSI
remains shy of 60 (the bearish resistance zone on RSI). From this point onwards, we expect a decline in crude oil
prices and approach support at $34.50. The current market price of crude is
$41.31, price resistance is at $42 and the support is at $34.50.
Next, we cover the analysis of
the clean energy companies covered in the article above.
This stock recently split 1 to 4 effective from 26th October’ 2020, helping improve liquidity. Even though clean energy continues to hold the centre stage in business discussions, the stock price of NEE is not showing promising signals in the near term. Please refer to the above chart- The stock continues to oscillate in the ascending channel for now, but weakness in price momentum is evident by its failure in touching the resistance trendline (red) after rallies and breaching the support trend line (green) on one occasion during a correction (circled). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing negative divergence - meaning the RSI is moving lower whereas the stock price is moving higher (yellow lines). If the stock price ends below the level of $74 on any day, that would substantiate this observation of suspected weakness to ensue in the prices and indicate temporary correction.
The clean energy theme has buoyed stock prices of sector leaders in the renewable energy space and BPP is no exception. Like NEE, it has been moving upward - bounded by a channel- and posted 60% return YTD amidst COVID-19 pandemic. As we can see in the adjoining chart, there are two indications of price weakness in the near term. 1- the stock recently touched the resistance trendline (red arrow); 2- the negative divergence between price and RSI. The slowing momentum over the past few days is strong evidence to believe that prices might reverse for a correction soon to meet the support trendline at $12. The current market price is $16. Price is yet to confirm this theory and a move below $14.9 is the confirmation we seek.
The largest clean energy player
in the US, FSI posted YTD returns of 40% till date, This is an under-delivery
compared to the potential this stock holds. Referring to the above chart,
the good news is that the stock price has given a breakout from a 7-year-old
trendline on 12th Oct (blue circle). Currently a pullback, from
the resistance trendline is unfolding towards the two support trendlines
waiting at $69.45, after which the stock is expected to continue its journey
upwards of $100.
ENPH has posted a perpendicular
upside move since June 2017, clocking in a mindboggling 15,788% gain for
investors who got in at the right time. Having noted that, the rally is far
from over as of now. A quick look at the recent price data on the daily chart
reveals that this stock has a long way to go before it truly rests. However,
the momentum indicator – RSI, suggests that it may be time for a minor
correction in the stock price indicated by negative divergence. A short-term
correction is expected from the current price level of $120 to $96. On the face
of it, that is a 25% correction, which may be a lot for other stocks, but is a
mere nail trim for Enphase Energy.
After going through the few
stocks covered above, the growth trajectory of the clean energy sector stands out
vividly. The sector might experience a mild correction in the near term, but
the long-term prospects continue to be attractive and promising.

UPDATE 1- 13TH OCTOBER 2020
Follow up on BHEL:
The stock moved below stated support- which is slightly frustrating, and also raises the question if we are dealing with a support zone instead of a level? this calls for a fresh look on the stock (red highlights).
A positive development on the hourly charts- RSI positive divergence. Price is forming lower-lows (downward sloping line on price, yellow highlight) but RSI is making higher-lows (upward sloping line on RSI, yellow highlight).
BHEL 2 HOUR CHART
______________________________________________________________________________
PUBLISHED ON: 6th OCTOBER 2020
Hello Readers!
BHEL’s hourly chart is indicating strength. It started correcting from 42.5- a strong resistance zone , and has fallen nearly 31% in the last 1.5 months.
The consolidation (sideways movement) in the price observed over the last few days is backed by a display of strength in the momentum indicator- RSI.
The relative strength indicator (RSI) is telling us 'Look ! relative to the past few days price is doing better' by simply by keeping its nose above 30 as highlighted in yellow. Every time RSI was below 30, BHEL's price kept slipping lower and lower as highlighted in red. This indicates a stop to the price slide.
BHEL is offering a great risk-reward-ratio at this level.
Current price - 29.30
Stoploss - 28.90 (-1.5%)
Targets - 34.8 (19%) , 42 (40%)

Hello Readers!
This time last year, I researched the US meat industry for a start-up selling veganism. In the course of my research, I came across some interesting trends in the American meat consumption pattern. Several articles talked about the growth of the poultry industry in a market largely dominated by red meat. When I investigated official US numbers, I learned that over the last 30 years, the American platter had doubled- who would have thought the growth of the poultry industry would not replace the legacy red meat despite exponential growth in poultry consumption, instead, would get a place of its own on the now enlarged appetite of the American population.
Let’s replace the appetite for food with an appetite for energy. As the appetite for energy continues to increase exponentially, the introduction of renewable energy does not pose a threat to the existing oil and gas industry, instead, they both jointly supplement the energy paradigm, just like poultry and red meat did supplement the US meat industry today.
The advent of renewable energy is like the introduction of a younger sibling into a family. The new member grows to have his own identity, own roles, and responsibility, its introduction temporarily disrupts the status quo initially, but soon there are adjustments and reallocation of resources and eventually, both the younger and the elder siblings contribute to the fulfillment of the family’s needs on their individual levels. The introduction of the younger one (renewables) does not mean the elder one (oil and gas) is going to be entirely replaced/ substituted, however, the resources (investments) the elder one solely enjoyed – now get divided and the parent’s (producers and consumers) attention gets diluted.
Renewables as a source of energy are no more a ‘threat’ to the oil and gas industry than its own carbon footprint. Oil and gas are also no longer enough to fulfill the ever-growing energy demand globally. The introduction of the renewables to energy industry is like the introduction of poultry to the US meat industry- simply an add-on to the existing menu.
While renewable energy continues to become more and more cost-effective, and thoughts of scalability keep the pioneers awake at night, retail and institutional investors across the globe dig deep into their pockets to take up stake in renewable space. A look at the Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index (CELS) reflects this optimism. The index constitutes the following:
1. Advanced Materials (silicon, lithium, bio-based, and/or other materials and processes that enable clean-energy and low-carbon technologies)
2. Energy Intelligence (conservation, efficiency, smart meters, energy management systems, LEDs, smart grid, superconductors, power controls, etc.);
3. Energy Storage & Conversion (advanced batteries, power conversion, electric vehicles, hybrid drivetrains, hydrogen, fuel cells for stationary, portable, and transportation applications, etc.); and
4. Renewable Electricity Generation (solar, wind, geothermal, water power, etc.)
The weekly log chart of the
NASDAQ® Clean Edge® Energy Index (CELS) recites a tale of investor optimism towards clean energy. Between Mar to Aug ‘20, the index has posted an incredible 175% return. Since the financial crisis in 2007-08, the index had been resisting the level of 280. In 2019, nearly 12 years after the financial crisis, the index not only overcame the resistance but also rallied at the back of real-world problems growing out of climate change and a globally broadened consciousness demanding clean energy. With the advent of COVID-19, like every other index in the world, CELS also witnessed a shock that took it back to the sub 280 levels, but it bounced back with vigor and has been unstoppable since then. This rally is expected to continue and post exponential returns over the next decade in accordance with the principles of the Elliott Wave Theory.
Renewables and fossil fuels are not the two sides of the same coin, they are more like a currency pair, wherein they will work together closely to maintain the global energy parity.

Hello Readers!
Here's the quick analysis on Adani Port upon request from one of you-
ADANIPORT is currently trading at 342.50 after a slight correction of 12% over the last two weeks. The resistance marked on the chart below is at 363- an important level. In the past it has acted as a support level multiple times- two such instances have been highlighted on the chart below.
Click to enlarge Adani Ports Daily Chart as on 14/9/20 |
Turning our attention to support on this stock, it is not a level but a zone- 309 to 319.
RSI on the daily chart turned up from 30 ( marked by arrow) while price took support at the above-mentioned support zone. This is a good indication
of strong underlying momentum.
To wrap it, adaniport looks positive. However, I would wait for
sometime to take a long position in pursuit of a more favourable risk-reward-ratio. 330 seems
like a good probable point of entry, however, the prevalent market circumstances at that
point of time will have to be reconsidered.
A breach below 309 would be your cue to exit as it appears like
a cliff fall below this support.

Hello Readers,
Bitcoin analysis works with RSI range 40 to 70 on the daily chart, unlike the 30-60 level observed on stocks and indices. In the chart below, we have analysed the daily chart to observe the price behavior when RSI successfully reverses from 40. Turns out, and also highlights on the chart, every time RSI on the Bitcoin Index has taken a support at 40, the price has rallied strongly. This establishes the fact that historically RSI has worked as a wonderfully reliable indicator in forecasting bitcoin rallies.

Hello Reader!
While the world grapples with the aftermath of COVID-19, the business and finance world is struggling to adjust to the new realities as well. With lowered top-line across most of the businesses, the emergence of new sectors, higher digitalization stands to threaten several status quo previously prevalent. over the next year, we will witness many businesses go down the same path producers of chariot whips and boot heels for men did. Evolution is the key to survival for businesses.
But what about the cost? The lowered crude oil price has send many businesses into a frenzy. Government and businesses have openly filled in their crude oil reservoirs with what they perceived as never to return cheap prices. However, what if I told you that the lower prices were returning soon?
A simple technical analysis of the crude oil charts across different time frames has a well-knit story of the downtrend which has been unfolding on the charts of crude oil since the crash in 2007.
Crude Oil stands at $41.8 per barrel. This is historically a very important price zone. On several different occasions in the past, crude oil has taken support at this level as highlighted in the chart below. Now, with the world being a very different place, $41.8 is posing as a strong resistance. This fungible nature of price levels is quite commonly observed across stock indices, individual stocks, currencies, and commodities.
Crude Oil: Monthly Chart- Period shown : 2009 to 2020
Lower-highs, lower-lows have been observed in crude oil post the 2007 crash. The Primary trend has been down with intermittent rallies. Since April 2020, one such minor trend upside rally has been witnessed.
A quick glance at RSI shows how a penetration below the level of 30 has meant more bad news for crude oil. Back in Dec 2014 when RSI broke below the level of 30, prices could only temporarily recover after that. Soon in Jan 2016, crude oil forged a new price low after falling 50% from its recent high of $61 to $27 per barrel.
History can be seen repeating itself. Today, crude oil price stands at the strong resistance zone of $42 PB, with lost momentum and at the edge of a cliff. It is only a matter of time when crude oil prices will fall again and forge a new below $20. We are discussing the possibility of a 50% price slide from the current levels as indicated by RSI.
Crude Oil: Weekly Chart- Period shown: 2009 to 2020
After having looked at the monthly and weekly charts of Crude Oil, the story recited by the Daily chart is no different. It reverberates the eminent message of downfall by means of the Negative Divergence between price and RSI. Negative divergence is an indication of lost price momentum. It is especially potent when it occurs close to an important price resistance (like $42 in this case) after a prolonged rally.
All across the time horizons- monthly, weekly, and daily, the tale of weakening crude oil prices can be heard loud and clear. It is best to be cautious and brace ourselves for what is to follow. The pain of hammered crude oil price is going to resume.

That's all on crude oil.
