now trigger the oscillator signals. Thus this chart is already

However, higher time frame charts need to be reconfirmed
by action in the lower time frame charts. Here we find the
evidence is just about gathering (as discussed earlier) and
once that happens, there shall be a simultaneous trigger-

future holds relevance for intermediate term players also.

further declines and a retest of the earlier swing lows. The
Jan low is at 13305/3811 while the Dec 06 low is at
12795/3656. As we have mentioned in earlier letters, the
index can pull back and even break the last swing low but
seldom breaks the second swing low back if the trend has
to be maintained. Thus we expect the prices to come
down to levels between the two prior swing lows.

Sector Indices:
Every sector took a knock in the decline of the last week. The breadth readings turned quite negative and we
had more declines on all the five trading sessions of the last week. As a result the weekly A-D line was almost
at 1:2, a ratio not seen for a while now. The worst hit was Banking as the index reeled under continued unfa-
vourable atmosphere and lost 6% over the week. Earlier strong contenders like

Profit taking also took toll on the fortunes of Construction stocks (down about 6%) as well as cement and ce-

Sector Watch: Entertainment Industry: Positive trends


The stocks from the entertainment sector appear to be in de-
mand. Charts of several of these counters are well placed
and show some accumulation patterns. A few already have
shown an upside breakout and these include Mukta Arts,
TVTN, Accentia Tech, Bag Films etc. Fresh investments of
a short-term nature can be considered in these counters at
current levels or on declines. Saregama has been into a cor-
rective decline for a while but continues to retain the promise
of big moves in the future once the current correction is com-
pleted. None of the stocks from the cinema multiplex seg-
ment of this industry seem to be in any major trends yet and
hence can be ignored for investments for now.

SHORT-TERM: Spel Semiconductor (31)


CURRENT TECHNICAL STATUS:
1. Prices are undergoing consolidation phase after a sharp uptrend.
2. Oscillators and other indicators placed in a bullish mode.
3. Near-term outlook looks bullish and breakout from the sideways move will generate speedier moves

It can be noted from the chart alongside that a nice


uptrend has been building up in this stock. Prices after
giving a sharp rise in first two weeks of January went
to hit a high of 38. Finding it difficult to clear Septem-
ber 2005 top, prices slipped into a sideways consolida-
tion phase. In this round, prices managed to hold the
38.2% retracement support and are forming lower
shadows near it. With last week’s positive closing,
prices have looked up again. Further upside follow
thru will bring in speedier moves in this stock. A deci-
sive move beyond 38 will give a breakout from accu-
mulation pattern and opens room for higher targets.
One can also observe that the weekly RSI oscillator is
holding above 60 and has turned up afresh, indicating
momentum is backing the recent turnaround.

Buy if above 32 for the short-term targets of 43/54 with


stop of 27.

Mukta Arts (71)


CURRENT TECHNICAL STATUS:
1. Breaking out of the trend line resistance will generate speedier moves.
2. Volumes have been good with the recent up moves.
3. Higher degree charts also show bullish pattern. Hence current rise may be a signal for bullish trend resump-
tion.

Media was one of sector which was in the lime-


light in the recent sessions. One of the stock to
highlight from this sector is Mukta Arts. We can
see that this stock has undergoing thru accu-
mulation phase over a period of time. With re-
cent round of strong up moves, prices gave a
nice breakout from the intermediate trend line.
Giving a positive weekly closing above it is a
bullish signal for the short to medium term
trend. Prices are now heading towards 92 area.
In line with the prices, we also note that the DI
has widened up afresh which is a bullish signal
for the trend and improving the chances of
overcoming 92 level.

Buy now and on dips down to 65 for a minimum


target of 92. Stop of 10 points.

SHORT-TERM (contd..): Carol Info (55.40)


CURRENT TECHNICAL STATUS:
1. A consistent advance has been in progress on the charts.
2. Picked up well from 21 period moving average support.
3. Overall trend placed in a bullish mode and looks good for further rise ahead.

On the short-term charts, prices have been moving in a


trended fashion since past several weeks. Last week
we saw the stock witness consistent buying activity
that led prices to giving a nice weekly closing. This
helped the stock to hold the support of 21 period mov-
ing average support and bounce back. If prices con-
tinue their advances this week we may see it heading
towards its prior tops hurdles placed around 65. Near
this area it has formed several tops. Crossing this hur-
dle decisively will resume strong trended moves. Vol-
umes have been in sync with recent rise . Also we find
that the weekly CCI oscillator has turned up afresh
from the zero area. This is a bullish signal for the trend.

With this kind of positive development on the weekly


chart on both price and momentum, we suggest buy-
ing at current around 56 for minimum rise to 65 and
above it to 82. Place stop of 10 points.

Karutari Networks (235.20)


CURRENT TECHNICAL STATUS:
1. Breakout from the trend line on the weekly chart and closed at new high.
2. Stock is currently on a strong uptrend.
3. Momentum readings in support of the breakout.

This stock had been struggling to clear the ascend-


ing trend line region for a while. Most of its attempts
to overcome this hurdle led to the formation of up-
per shadows. This action of the prices near the re-
sistance area is an indicative of the fact that there
was a lot of selling pressure around these levels.
Last week’s gap up rise led the stock to give a deci-
sive breakout from the trend line region and has
given a strong closing above it. This is a positive
development in prices and is clearly seen on the
weekly chart appended aside. Adding fuel to the up
trend are most of the momentum indicators that
have turned up afresh. It has been proving to be
positive signal for the trend. Also an increase in
volumes accompany the current move.

Hence we recommend our readers to buying above


236 for advance 282-296 and above it to 340 levels
with stop of 25 points.
