QUICK UPDATE- Balrampur Chini and Future Retail

TICKER: BALRAMCHIN

Since the post on Balrampur Chini  on Aug, 23rd, the stock has been performing well. Things are looking up on the stock's chart. The price action recently gave a pull back after closing above the 100 day EMA for 3 consecutive days. The pull back found support at the 50 day EMA and soon enough bounced back piercing the 100 day EMA level of 77.05 and closing at 77.65. The stock has again open with a strong gap up today morning. 

All the conditions for calling the current trend an Uptrend on this chart are ticking off. 

• The stock is making higher-highs and higher-lows
• The important Moving averages have been breached.
• Volume is picking up on the up-days
• RSI has shown range shift. It has not breached the level of 40 corresponding to the recent price lows which indicates a strong momentum build-up in my opinion.

A snapshot of the chart as on day is presented below and you will be able to observe all of this on this chart.

Our next follow up is on Future Retail.

As we mentioned in our post on future retail on Aug 27th, another leg of upside appears to have begun. The breakaway gap has not been filled (yet). Here again, we can observe a pullback and a subsequent bounce on the dachart. The price turned lower after touching a high of 589.50 and took support at the cluster of 35, 50 and 100 day EMA after which it bounced back yesterday and gave a comfortable closing above the previous high. 

It is a great business and promoters are proven entrepreneurs. Not just that, the Indian retail space is a booming sector and Future Retail is one of the strongest players and hence one of the biggest benefitters. For a more details analysis I request you read the original post here.

Balrampur Chini: Bottom fishing (A study of range shift in RSI)

Hello friends!

I am back with a post after a long period of dormancy. I was never off practising TA but wasn't writing about it for various reasons (like laziness). But now it's time to dust our sleeves and get back to business.

I have spotted a compelling chart which really got me out of the dormant state and urged me to post about it!

That stock is Balrampur Chini!

Please refer to the chart below:

Balrampurchini Daily Chart captured on 24.08.2018

I am a huge fan of the momentum indicator - Relative Strength Index (RSI) and it was RSI's range shift phenomenon which has drawn my attention to the chart of Balrampur Chini.

In the above chart, you will notice arrows marking the beginning of major rallies. These arrows are actually highlighting the range shift in RSI - the phenomenon wherein RSI breaches the overbought zone of 60 to indicate higher momentum in the stock at relative price lows and at the end of corrections. This change in stock participant's momentum- where the buying momentum supersedes the selling momentum, is captured by RSI beautifully.

On the chart we can see that out of the past 4 instances, only one instance has been a failure where the range shift 's indication of a rally failed. Some might argue that the sample size of the observations is too less to conclude the range shift phenomenon to be any good in the above case. If you're one of those people then I advise you check out the older data of the stock and you will see the answer for yourself. There are more hits than misses.

The misses (indicated by the red arrow on the chart) have very distinct characteristic to themselves. Everytime the RSI has breached the level 60 soon after breaching the oversold level of 30 deeply, has lead to a failed rally. Basically, range shift works both ways. If you have RSI racing past 60 after a sluggish move where it held its nose above 30, then that gives a good indication of an impending rally, but the same move after a deep dive below the level of 30 just indicates shortness of breath and a bad (failed) rally.

To add to the above observation, the stock has also successfully made a higher high and a higher low which indicates uptrend. It is currently resting at the kissing point of the 35 and 50EMA. A crossover of the 50EMA above the 35EMA would make me more comfortable with this upmove.

If you look very closely, there has been alot of volume activity near the bottom of the chart just before the higher highs and higher lows came into the picture (literally). This for me is an indication of accumulation by big cats (the guys who knows the whats and whens before everyone else).

The stock also resisted the 100EMA (blue line) is the last rally so naturally moving above this level would be a confirmation of the rally and trend change.

I am expecting a 100% rally in this super cyclical stock post confirmation. Also, a breach of the previous low (59.70) is an exit for me.

As a disclaimer, this isn't a stock recommendation but a mere observation of a great phenomenon unfolding on the chart.
