Different Types of Markets :

In the finance industry, there are various types of markets where financial assets
are traded. Here are some of the main types.

1. Stock Market (Equity Market) : This is where shares of publicly traded


companies are bought and sold. Investors can purchase ownership stakes in
companies through stocks, which represent a claim on the company's assets and
earnings.

2. Bond Market (Fixed-Income Market) : Bonds are debt securities issued by


governments, municipalities, corporations, or other entities to raise capital. The
bond market is where these bonds are bought and sold. Bonds typically pay
periodic interest payments and return the principal amount at maturity.

3. Foreign Exchange Market (Forex) : This is where currencies are traded.


Participants in the forex market include banks, corporations, governments, and
individual traders. Forex trading involves buying one currency while
simultaneously selling another.

4. Commodity Market : Commodities are physical goods like gold, oil,


agricultural products, and metals. The commodity market facilitates the buying
and selling of these goods. Commodities are often traded via futures contracts,
which specify the quantity and price at which the commodity will be delivered
on a future date.

5. Derivatives Market : Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived


from the value of an underlying asset, index, or reference rate. Examples include
options, futures, forwards, and swaps. The derivatives market allows investors to
hedge risk, speculate on price movements, and manage exposure to various
financial variables.

10
6. Money Market : The money market deals with short-term debt securities with
maturities typically ranging from overnight to one year. Instruments traded in the
money market include Treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit,
and repurchase agreements. The money market serves as a source of short-term
liquidity for borrowers and a place for investors to park excess cash.

7. Real Estate Market : Real estate markets involve the buying, selling, and
renting of properties, including residential, commercial, and industrial real estate.
Real estate investments can provide rental income and potential appreciation in
property value.

8. Cryptocurrency Market : This is a relatively new type of market where digital


or virtual currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are bought and sold.
Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks using blockchain
technology.

These are just some of the main types of markets in the finance industry, each
serving different purposes and catering to various types of investors and traders.

11
Risks in Market :
Financial markets are inherently complex and subject to various risks, which can
impact investors, institutions, and even broader economies. Here are some of the
key risks associated with financial markets

1. Market Risk : Also known as systematic risk, this risk arises due to factors
affecting the overall performance of the market, such as economic downturns,
geopolitical events, changes in interest rates, or shifts in investor sentiment.

2. Liquidity Risk : This refers to the risk of not being able to buy or sell an asset
quickly enough without significantly affecting its price. Assets with low liquidity
may be difficult to sell at their market value, leading to potential losses.

3. Credit Risk : This risk arises from the potential for a borrower or issuer to
default on their financial obligations. It's particularly relevant in bond markets,
where investors may face losses if the issuer fails to make interest payments or
repay the principal amount.

4. Interest Rate Risk : Fluctuations in interest rates can impact the value of fixed-
income securities, such as bonds. When interest rates rise, bond prices typically
fall, and vice versa. This risk affects both individual investors and institutions
holding fixed-income assets.

5. Inflation Risk : Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time.
Investments that fail to outpace inflation can result in real losses for investors.
Therefore, protecting against inflation risk is crucial for maintaining the value of
investments over the long term.

6. Currency Risk : Also known as exchange rate risk, this risk arises from
fluctuations in the value of one currency relative to another. Investors holding
assets denominated in foreign currencies may face losses if the exchange rate
moves unfavourably.

12
7. Political and Regulatory Risk : Changes in government policies, regulations,
or political instability can impact financial markets. These risks can manifest in
various forms, such as changes in tax laws, trade policies, or regulatory
requirements, affecting the profitability and stability of investments.

8. Systemic Risk : This refers to the risk of widespread failure within the financial
system, often due to interconnectedness between financial institutions or markets.
Systemic risks can arise from events such as banking crises, market crashes, or
disruptions in payment systems.

9. Operational Risk : Arising from internal processes, systems, or human error,


operational risk encompasses a wide range of potential failures, including errors
in trading, settlement, compliance, or cybersecurity breaches.

10. Model Risk : Financial models used for pricing, risk management, or
decision-making purposes may not accurately reflect the complexities of real-
world markets. Model risk arises from inaccuracies or limitations in these models,
leading to potential misjudgements or losses.

Understanding and managing these risks is essential for investors and institutions
to navigate financial markets effectively and protect against potential losses.
Diversification, hedging strategies, risk assessment tools, and staying informed
about market developments are among the approaches used to mitigate these
risks.

offshore outsourcing of IT services due to its large pool of skilled IT
professionals, cost advantages, and quality of service. Many multinational
corporations outsource IT projects to Indian firms for software development,
back-office operations, customer support, and other services.

3. IT Parks and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) : India has established numerous
IT parks and SEZs across the country to provide infrastructure and facilities for
IT companies. Cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and
Gurugram are major hubs for IT companies, housing large IT parks and SEZs.

4. Education and Skilled Workforce : India's education system produces a large


number of engineering and IT graduates every year, providing a skilled workforce
for the IT industry. Additionally, many IT companies in India invest in training
and skill development programs to enhance the capabilities of their employees.

5. Global Presence : Indian IT companies have a strong global presence, serving


clients across various industries and geographies. They have established offices
and delivery centers in key markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia-

scheme. The Y2K problem, where computer systems needed updates to
avoid date-related malfunctions at the turn of the millennium, presented
a crucial opportunity. Indian companies' cost-effective solutions gained
global recognition, leading to increased outsourcing and offshoring of
IT services to India.
• Since then, the sector has expanded into diverse IT services and
emerging technologies, fostering continuous growth and innovation.

• Skilled Workforce: India boasts a large pool of skilled IT professionals.
• Cost Advantage: India offers competitive pricing compared to many
developed nations.
• Global Demand: The global demand for IT services continues to rise.
• Government initiatives, such as establishing technology hubs, and
international recognition have further propelled the sector's growth.

• Major Players and Future Outlook


• Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and HCL
Technologies are some of the key players in the Indian IT services
market. The sector has witnessed significant growth and has become the
world's largest exporter of IT services.
• India aims to further expand its information and communication
technology (ICT) sector and increase its contribution to the GDP. The
embrace of technological advancements like Artificial Intelligence,
cloud computing, and cybersecurity will drive digital transformation in
the country.

BASICS OF STOCK TRADING
Overview of the basics of stock trading :

1. Understanding Stocks : Stocks represent ownership in a company. When you


buy a stock, you're essentially buying a small piece of that company. Stocks are
traded on stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the
Nasdaq.

2. Brokerage Account : To buy and sell stocks, you need to open a brokerage
account with a brokerage firm. This account allows you to place orders to buy or
sell stocks through the broker's trading platform.

3. Research : Before buying a stock, it's important to research the company and
its financial health. Look at factors such as the company's revenue, earnings,
growth prospects, and industry trends. You can find this information in financial
news, company reports, and analyst research.

4. Stock Market Orders : There are different types of orders you can place when
trading stocks:
• Market Order : A market order is an instruction to buy or sell a stock at
the current market price. It's executed immediately.
• Limit Order : A limit order allows you to set a specific price at which you
want to buy or sell a stock. The trade will only be executed if the stock
reaches your specified price.
• Stop Order : A stop order becomes a market order once the stock reaches
a certain price. It's used to limit losses or lock in profits.

5. Risk Management : Stock trading involves risks, including the risk of losing
money. It's important to manage your risk by diversifying your investments,
setting stop-loss orders, and not investing more than you can afford to lose.

6. Monitoring and Analysis : Once you've bought stocks, it's important to monitor
your investments regularly. Keep track of company news, market trends, and

19
economic indicators that may affect the value of your stocks. You may also
consider using technical analysis or fundamental analysis to make informed
trading decisions.

7. Long-Term vs. Short-Term Investing : Stock trading can be done with different
time horizons. Long-term investing involves holding stocks for an extended
period, typically years, with the expectation of capital appreciation. Short-term
trading, on the other hand, involves buying and selling stocks over shorter
timeframes, often taking advantage of short-term price fluctuations.

8. Costs and Fees : When trading stocks, you may incur costs and fees, such as
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and taxes. Be sure to understand the
fees associated with trading and factor them into your trading strategy.

Remember, stock trading involves risks, and it's essential to educate yourself, do
thorough research, and consider your investment goals and risk tolerance before
trading stocks. Additionally, seeking advice from financial professionals or
experienced investors can be beneficial, especially for beginners.

INDEX ANALYSIS
Index analysis involves evaluating and interpreting the performance of financial
market indices to gain insights into overall market trends, sectoral performance,
and investor sentiment. Here's an explanation of index analysis:

1. Understanding Market Indices : A market index is a statistical measure of the


performance of a group of stocks or other assets representing a particular market
or sector. Indices are used as benchmarks to track the performance of the overall
market or specific segments of the market. Examples of widely followed indices
include the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), Nasdaq Composite,
and FTSE 100.

2. Components of Index Analysis :


• Price Movement : Index analysis involves examining the price movement
of the index over time. This includes identifying trends, such as upward or
downward movements, as well as periods of volatility or consolidation.
• Volume Analysis : Analysing trading volume associated with index
movements can provide insights into the level of market participation and
investor interest. High volume during price rallies or sell-offs may indicate
strong conviction among market participants.
• Technical Analysis : Technical indicators, such as moving averages,
relative strength index (RSI), and MACD (Moving Average Convergence
Divergence), are commonly used in index analysis to identify potential
trend reversals, support and resistance levels, and overbought or oversold
conditions.
• Fundamental Analysis : Fundamental factors, such as economic indicators,
corporate earnings, interest rates, and geopolitical events, can influence
index movements. Fundamental analysis involves assessing these factors
to understand their impact on market sentiment and valuations.
• Market Breadth : Market breadth indicators, such as the advance-decline
line and the number of stocks trading above their moving averages, provide
insights into the overall health of the market. Strong market breadth
typically accompanies sustainable market rallies, while weak breadth may
signal underlying weakness.
• Sector Analysis : Indices often comprise multiple sectors, each with its own
dynamics and performance drivers. Sector analysis involves examining the

21
relative strength or weakness of individual sectors within the index to
identify opportunities or risks.

3. Interpreting Index Analysis :


• Trend Identification : Index analysis helps identify prevailing market
trends, such as uptrends, downtrends, or sideways movements.
Understanding the direction of the trend can guide investment decisions.
• Market Sentiment : Analysis of index movements and associated indicators
provides insights into investor sentiment, including bullish or bearish
attitudes, optimism, or caution.
• Risk Assessment : Index analysis assists in assessing market risk by
identifying potential areas of support and resistance, as well as overbought
or oversold conditions that may precede corrections or reversals.
• Investment Opportunities : By identifying sectors or stocks that are
outperforming or underperforming the broader market, index analysis can
help investors identify potential investment opportunities or areas for
portfolio rebalancing.

Overall, index analysis is a valuable tool for investors, traders, and analysts to
understand market trends, assess risk, and identify investment opportunities in
the financial markets. It involves a combination of technical, fundamental, and
sentiment analysis to gain a comprehensive view of market dynamics.

capitalization of each stock by the total market capitalization of all the
paint sector stocks combined.

4. Price Change Calculation: To calculate the percentage change in price


for each stock, use the following formula: (Current Price - Base Price)
/ Base Price * 100

5. Weightage Change: Calculate the change in weightage for each stock


by multiplying its weight (from step 3) by its corresponding
percentage change in price (from step 4).
6. Final Index Value: Assuming a base value of 1000, the final index
value is calculated by multiplying the change in weightage for each
stock by 10 (1000/100) and summing those values.

7. Daily Base Adjustment: To track the index's movement over time, the
previous day's base value needs to be multiplied by the daily change
in weightage.

GOLD INVESTMENT
Investing in gold means buying gold as a way to grow your money over time.
Here's a simple explanation of gold investment in Indian English:
1. Buying Gold : Gold investment involves purchasing gold in various forms,
such as gold jewellery, gold coins, gold bars, or gold exchange-traded funds
(ETFs). You can buy gold from jewellery shops, banks, or online platforms that
sell gold.
2. Hedge Against Inflation : People invest in gold because it's considered a safe
investment that can protect their money during times of inflation. When the value
of money goes down due to rising prices, the value of gold usually goes up, so it
helps to keep your savings safe.
3. Diversification : Investing in gold is a way to diversify your investment
portfolio. This means spreading your money across different types of investments
to reduce risk. Gold often moves differently from stocks and bonds, so having
gold in your portfolio can help balance out the ups and downs of other
investments.
4. Store of Value : Gold has been seen as a store of value for thousands of years.
It's a tangible asset that holds its value over time. People trust gold because it's
rare, doesn't corrode or rust, and has been used as money for centuries.
5. Easy to Buy and Sell : Gold is easy to buy and sell. You can buy small amounts
of gold or larger quantities depending on your budget and investment goals. When
you want to sell, you can usually find buyers easily, either at jewelry shops or
through online platforms.
6. Long-Term Investment : Gold investment is often seen as a long-term
investment. While the value of gold can go up and down in the short term,
historically, gold has held its value well over the long term, making it a popular
choice for people looking to grow their wealth steadily over time.
7. Storage and Security : If you buy physical gold like jewelry or coins, you'll
need to store it safely to protect it from theft or damage. Some people prefer to
keep their gold in bank lockers or home safes. If you invest in gold ETFs, you
won't need to worry about storage because the gold is held by the fund manager.

Overall, gold investment is a popular choice for people in India who want to
protect their savings, diversify their investments, and grow their wealth over time
in a simple and secure way.

Insurance :
In India, insurance is a significant financial instrument that provides protection
against unforeseen events, offering a safety net for individuals, families, and
businesses. Here's an overview:

Types of Insurance:
1. Life Insurance : Provides financial coverage to the insured person's family or
beneficiaries in case of death. It ensures financial stability for dependents after
the insured's demise.
2. Health Insurance : Covers medical expenses incurred due to illnesses,
accidents, or hospitalization. It can include individual health plans, family
floater policies, critical illness covers, etc.
3. Motor Insurance : Mandatory by law, it covers damages to vehicles and third-
party liabilities arising from accidents. It includes two types: third-party
insurance and comprehensive insurance.
4. Property Insurance : Covers damages to property due to natural disasters like
fire, floods, earthquakes, etc. It includes home insurance, fire insurance, and
other property-specific covers.
5. Travel Insurance : Provides coverage for medical expenses, trip cancellations,
lost baggage, etc., during domestic or international travel.
6. Commercial Insurance : Covers businesses against various risks like property
damage, liability claims, business interruption, etc. It includes fire insurance,
marine insurance, liability insurance, etc.
Insurance Regulatory Framework :
• Regulator : The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India
(IRDAI) regulates and supervises the insurance industry in India.
• Licensing : Insurance companies need to be licensed by IRDAI to operate
in India.
• Product Approval : IRDAI approves insurance products before they are
launched to ensure they comply with regulatory norms and are beneficial to
customers.
• Distribution Channels : Insurance products are distributed through various
channels such as agents, brokers, banks, online platforms, and direct sales.

27
Key Players :
1. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) : Established in 1956, LIC is the
largest state-owned life insurance company in India.
2. Private Insurance Companies : Several private insurers operate in India,
offering a wide range of insurance products and services. Some prominent ones
include ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, HDFC Life, SBI Life, etc.
Benefits of Insurance :
1. Financial Protection : Insurance provides financial security to individuals and
businesses by covering potential losses or liabilities.
2. Risk Mitigation : It helps in mitigating risks associated with life, health,
property, and business operations.
3. Savings and Investment : Certain insurance products, like endowment and
unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs), offer opportunities for savings and
investment along with insurance coverage.
4. Tax Benefits :Insurance premiums paid towards certain policies are eligible
for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Challenges :
1. Low Insurance Penetration : Despite significant growth, insurance
penetration (percentage of insurance premiums to GDP) in India remains
relatively low compared to developed economies.
2. Lack of Awareness : Many people in India, especially in rural areas, lack
awareness about insurance products and their benefits.
3. Fraud and Mis-selling : Instances of insurance fraud and mis-selling of
policies remain challenges for the industry, necessitating stricter regulatory
oversight and consumer education.
In essence, insurance plays a crucial role in India's financial landscape, offering
protection, risk management, and financial stability to individuals, families, and
businesses.

30
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS :
Fundamental analysis is like getting to know a company inside out before
deciding to invest in its stock. It's all about understanding the value of a
company by looking at big economic factors and small details about how the
company runs. The main idea is to figure out if a stock's price is fair or if it's too
high or too low.

Imagine you want to invest in a business for the long haul, like 3 to 5 years. It's
important to ignore the everyday ups and downs in the stock market and focus
on how the company is doing overall. If a company is strong and doing well, its
stock price tends to go up over time, making money for investors.

Fundamental analysis involves a few steps, like checking how much money the
company makes and spends (that's the profit & loss statement), seeing what it
owns and owes (that's the balance sheet), and looking at how money moves in
and out of the company (that's the cash flow statement). Also, we look at
different financial ratios to get a better idea of how healthy the company is.

There are four main parts to fundamental analysis:


a. Economic Analysis : This means looking at the big picture of the economy
to see how it might affect the company.
b. Industry Analysis : We check out the industry the company is in to
understand its prospects and challenges.
c. Company Analysis : Here, we dive deep into the specific company to see
how well it's managed and how it's doing compared to others in the same
industry.
d. Growth and Value Analysis : This is about finding companies that have the
potential to grow in the future (growth pick) or companies that are
undervalued and might be worth more than their current price (value pick).

31
Intrinsic Value :
Fundamental analysis is a cornerstone method for stock market analysis,
alongside technical analysis. While technical analysts focus on price
movements and charts, fundamental analysis delves deeper to assess a stock's
intrinsic value.
This approach considers various factors that can influence a stock's future price,
including:

• Macroeconomic Factors: The overall health of the economy, interest rates,


government policies, and industry trends all play a role.
• Company-Specific Factors: A company's financial health, management
team, competitive advantages, and future growth prospects are all crucial
aspects.
The Goal: Uncovering Value
Fundamental analysis aims to determine a stock's intrinsic value, which is an
estimate of its true worth based on its underlying fundamentals. Investors then
compare this value to the stock's current market price.
Identifying Investment Opportunities

• Undervalued Stocks: Stocks trading below their intrinsic value can be


potential investments, but only if they exhibit year-over-year (YoY)
growth. Such stocks with positive YoY growth are often called "value
picks."
• Overvalued Stocks: While generally avoided, overvalued stocks can be
considered for further analysis if their price-to-earnings growth ratio (PEG
ratio) falls between 0 and 1.

Financial Ratios: Tools for Comparison


Analysts utilize various financial ratios to compare companies within
an industry or assess a company's performance over time. These ratios
can include:
• Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
• Debt-to-Equity Ratio
• Enterprise Value to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation, and Amortization (EV/EBITDA)
32
• Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E Ratio)
• Current Ratio
The specific ratios used for comparison may vary depending on the
industry a company operates in. For example, a retail company might
be evaluated differently than a technology company. By employing
fundamental analysis, investors can gain valuable insights into a
company's true value and make informed investment decisions.

Comparison of NAV and Index :
NAV reflects the fund's holdings, not individual stock performance: The NAV
represents the price per share of the mutual fund, which is calculated by dividing
the total value of all the underlying assets in the fund by the number of shares
outstanding. Since the fund tracks a particular index, the NAV reflects the
weighted average price of all the securities in that index. So, the NAV gives you
an idea of the overall value of the fund's holdings at a specific point in time, but
it doesn't directly tell you how any particular stock within the index is performing.

Index shows broader market movement: The index tracks the performance of a
basket of securities, typically chosen to represent a specific market segment or
the entire stock market. The image you sent appears to show a time series graph
of the index price, which reflects how the value of that basket of stocks has
changed over time. This can be helpful to understand how the overall market or
a particular sector is performing. Since the fund aims to track the index, by
looking at the index's movement over time, you can also indirectly gauge how the
fund, as a whole, is performing relative to the market benchmark.

For example, imagine the index represents the technology sector, and the stock
market experiences a downturn. If the NAV of the mutual fund that tracks the
technology sector index falls along with the index price, it suggests the fund is
performing as expected relative to the broader market movement in the
technology sector. However, if the NAV falls more than the index price, it might
indicate that the fund manager has underperformed by selling off stocks at a loss
or failing to pick winning stocks within the technology sector.

• Identify potential outperformance: If the NAV consistently tracks closely with


the index, it suggests the fund is performing as expected. However, if there
are significant deviations between the NAV line and the index line, it might
indicate the fund's underperformance or outperformance relative to the index.
• NAV can show expense ratio impact: The expense ratio is a fee charged by
the mutual fund to manage the fund. A higher expense ratio can cause the
NAV to trail the index over time.

Some additional things to consider when you're analysing a stock:

• Look beyond the fund: While the index and NAV can be useful for
understanding the fund's performance, they don't necessarily tell you how
individual stocks within the index are faring. You'd need to research the
specific companies you're interested in to make informed investment
decisions.

36
• Company financials: Analyse the company's financial health by looking at
its financial statements, including earnings reports, balance sheets, and cash
flow statements.
• Competitive advantage: Understand what makes the company unique and
how it stacks up against its competitors.
• Market conditions: Consider how the overall stock market and the specific
sector the company operates in are performing.

Technical Analysis :
Is a method for forecasting the direction of prices in financial markets by studying historical
market data, primarily price and volume. Technicians believe that by analysing past price
movements and trading activity, they can identify patterns that can help predict future trends.

A deeper dive into the core concepts of technical analysis:

• Focus on price and volume : Technical analysts rely on charts to visualize


price movements and volume fluctuations over time. These charts can depict
a variety of financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, commodities,
currencies, and futures contracts. By studying the price movements on a chart,
technicians can identify trends, such as uptrends, downtrends, and sideways
trends. They can also gauge the strength of a trend by analysing the volume of
trading activity. Higher volume typically suggests a stronger trend, while
lower volume can indicate a trend that may be losing momentum.
• Identifying patterns : By analysing the charts, technicians look for recurring
patterns that might signal potential future price movements. These patterns
can be categorized into two main groups: chart patterns and candlestick
patterns.

- Chart patterns are formed by the price action itself over time on a chart. Some
common chart patterns include head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms,
triangles, wedges, and flags. Each pattern has its own implications for future
price movements, and technicians use their knowledge of these patterns to
identify potential entry and exit points for trades.
- Candlestick patterns are formed by the price movements within a single
trading period, typically a day, week, or month. These patterns are visualized
using candlesticks, which are bars on a chart that depict the opening price,
closing price, high price, and low price for the trading period. Some common
candlestick patterns include hammer, hanging man, doji, engulfing patterns,
and piercing patterns. Like chart patterns, candlestick patterns can provide
clues about potential future price movements.

• Technical indicators : These are mathematical calculations applied to price


and volume data to provide insights into trends, momentum, and
support/resistance levels. Technical indicators are often used in conjunction
with chart and candlestick patterns to confirm signals or provide additional
information about the market. Some popular technical indicators include

39
A. Moving averages : Moving averages smooth out price data by creating an
average price over a specific number of trading periods. Technicians can use
different moving averages to identify trends, gauge momentum, and spot
potential support and resistance levels.

Fig No.10 Moving Averages

B. Relative Strength Index (RSI) : The RSI is a momentum indicator that


measures the speed and magnitude of recent price movements. It is typically
displayed as a line on a scale of 0 to 100, with values above 70 generally
considered overbought and values below 30 considered oversold. Technicians
can use the RSI to identify potential reversal points in the market.

Fig No.11 Relative Strength Index (RSI)

40
C. Bollinger Bands : Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator that consists of a
moving average (typically the 20-day moving average) with two bands plotted
above and below it. The width of the bands expands and contracts based on
market volatility. Technicians can use Bollinger Bands to identify potential
breakout opportunities when the price moves outside the bands or to gauge
changes in volatility.

Fig No.12 Bollinger Bands

41
D. Stochastic RSI :
It is one of the most important and widely used tools for technical analysis in
securities trading. It compares a particular closing price of a security to a range
of its prices over a certain period. We can also manipulate the sensitivity of this
indicator by adjusting the time. Stochastic is like MACD in several ways, such as
the indication of calls is almost the same as that of MACD. It also consists of two
lines: the blue line, which is also called the stochastic line of %k, and the orange
line, which is also called the baseline, and the moving average of the stochastic
line.

The criteria for buying and the short call are also similar. Whenever the blue line
cuts the baseline from above, we are predicting that prices will fall, so it is an
indication to short, and when the blue line cuts the baseline from below, we are
predicting that the prices will rise- a buy call. The main point to remembering this
indicator is that these cut from above or below only matter when they are in a
specific area of that graph, to be specific below 20 or above 80. If there is a line
crossing in these areas, that cross will only be considered as a legitimate call. We
were asked to check the accuracy of stochastic calls in a similar way as we have
done for other indicators.

Fig No.13Stochastic RSI

42
E. Super Trend :

When doing intraday trading, you must open the chart of the specific stock you watch to use
this indicator. You must also set a time interval of 5 minutes. Any reliable charting software
will work. Insert Super Trend onto the chart after it has been opened, keeping the settings at 5.

Additionally, you can insert your preferences. However, you shouldn't avoid placing your
stop loss while utilizing this indicator. You can precisely place your stop loss at the green signal
line for a long position. Put it on the red indicator line to take a short position. Combining a
super trend with the stop-loss pattern is the best method for maximizing trading wealth. A
period of 5 is used by default as the parameter. It's important to remember that any changes to
these figures may have an impaimpacter the trend indicator is used. For any trading indication,
there is no ideal setup. Additionally, the more parameters you alter, the more over-optimized
your trading system may become at that time.
You should be aware that the indicator may be more responsive to price changes with
smaller settings, which would result in more signals. Higher settings will reduce market noise
but could result in fewer trade signals.

Fig No.14 Super Trend

F. Volume Weighted Average Price :

The VWAP, which measures the average price a security has traded at during
the day based on both volume and price, is significant because it gives traders
information about a security's trend and worth. Because it informs traders about
a security's trend and value, the VWAP, which calculates the average price a
deposit has been traded throughout the day based on both volume and price, is
essential. The VWAP calculation is completed using charting software, and the

43
results are superimposed on the chart. This display is a line, like other moving
averages. That line is determined as follows:

Pick a time frame to work with (such as a tick chart, one minute, five minutes,
etc.).

In essence, to identify when buying is appropriate, double this typical price by


the volume for that period as the green candle crosses the line from the bottom.
Then you will get a number called TPV.

Basically, multiply this average price by the volume for that period to determine
when it is time to buy when the green candle crosses the line from the bottom.
You will then receive a value known as TPV. Multiply the volume for that period
by this typical price. You will then receive a value known as TPV. Compile a
cumulative TPV, or running total, of the TPV data. The first period won't have a
prior value, thus this is achieved by repeatedly adding the most recent TPV to
the previous values. With time, this figure should become more noticeable.

Keep track of the cumulative volume in a running total. To accomplish this,


keep adding the most current volume to the one before it. As the day goes on,
this figure should likewise become increasingly significant.

Pivot Point Standard :

Pivot points can be useful intraday indications for these if you trade in commodities,
equities, or futures. Because they are immobile and stay fixed at the same values
throughout trading, pivot points vary from other indicators like moving averages and
oscillators. It is simpler for traders to plan their trades using these levels because they are
fixed. S1, S2, or R1, R2 are levels that can be used as target prices or stop-loss levels.

Additionally, traders frequently mix pivot points with several trend indicators. Pivot
points are significant for several reasons. These are the factors that make traders adore
pivot points. It's only possible with intraday trading. The pivot point algorithm calculates
the data for the current trading day using information from the previous trading day.
Therefore, the levels on the chart only apply to the current time. Precise indications for
intraday trading are pivot points.

The pivot point's data becomes extremely detailed because it only applies to one trading
day. Therefore, it is only appropriate for brief periods. The ideal time frames for the pivot
point indicator are one, two, and five minutes. Due to this, day traders favor pivot points
more.

Fig No.16 Pivot Point Standard

45
Long Term View and Short Term Vivew :
Technical analysis is the examination of past price movements to forecast
future price movements. Technical analysts are sometimes referred to as
chartists because they rely almost exclusively on charts for their analysis.

Fig No. 18 Short Term View

46
TRENDLINES
Technical analysis is built on the assumption that prices trend. Trendlines
are an important tool in technical analysis for both trend identification and
confirmation. A trendline is a straight line that connects two or more price
points and then extends into the future to act as a line of support or
resistance. Many of the principles applicable to support and resistance
levels can be applied to trendlines as well.

47
LONG TERM TECHNICAL ANALYSIS :

A. Rounding Bottom :
The rounding bottom is a long-term reversal pattern best suited for weekly
charts. It is also called a saucer bottom, representing a long consolidation period
that turns from a bearish bias to a bullish tone.

• Prior Trend: There must be a prior tendency to reverse for a pattern to be


considered a reversal. A rounding bottom's low should signal a new low or
reaction low. In reality, there are times when the common is established
months in advance, and the security trades sideways before exhibiting the
pattern. The low of the rounded bottom may not be the lowest low during the
past few months when it ultimately develops.
• Decline: The first part is a decline leading to the pattern’s low. This decline
will take on different forms: some are pretty jagged, with several reaction
highs and lows, while others trade lower more linearly.
• Low: The rounded bottom's low point can approximate a "V" shape, but it
shouldn't be too acute and take several weeks to form. Prices are on a long-
term drop, therefore there is a chance that a selling climax may result in a
lower jump.
• Advance: The pattern's right half, which is the advance from the lows, should
take roughly the same amount of time as the drop that came before it. A
rounded bottom's validity could be questioned if the advance is too abrupt.
• Breakout: When the pattern crosses above the response high that signalled
the start of the drop at the beginning of the pattern, bullish confirmation is
given. This level may become support, as typical of most resistance
breakthroughs.
• Volume: A perfect volume pattern would have high levels at the start of the
decline, low levels after the fall, and rising levels during the advance. On the
fall, volume levels are not particularly significant, but on the advance and,
ideally, on the breakout, volume should rise.

A rounding bottom could be considered a head and shoulders bottom without


clearly distinguishable shoulders. The head, which is situated in the middle of the
design, stands in for the low. Similar volume patterns are present, and a resistance
breakout provides confirmation. On the rounding bottom, symmetry is preferred,
but the left and right sides do not have to be equal in time or slope.

48
Fig No. 21 Rounding Bottom

49
B. Cup with Handle :
The handle and the cup. The cup takes shape following an advance and has a
bowl-like or rounded bottom. The handle and a trading range on the right side of
the cup are constructed as it is finished. When the handle breaks out of its trading
range again, the last advance will continue.
• Trend : A past trend must still be present to be considered a continuation
pattern. The movement should ideally be a few months old and still needs to
develop fully the less likely it is that the pattern heralds a continuation or less
upward potential, the more established the trend.
• Cup : The cup should have a "U" shape and have a rounded bottom or a bowl-
like appearance. A base with a "V" shape would be deemed too abrupt to
qualify. The cup is a consolidation pattern with reliable support at the bottom
thanks to the "U"'s softer shape. Equal highs should be on both sides of the
cup would make for the ideal pattern, but this is only sometimes the case.
• Vase Depth : The depth of the cup should ideally retrace at most a third of the
prior progress. However, the retracement might be between 1/3 and 1/2 due to
choppy markets and overreactions. The maximum retracement in extreme
circumstances might reach 2/3.
• Handle : The pullback that creates the handle occurs after the peak on the right
side of the cup. This handle can have several shapes, such as a short pullback,
downward-sloping flag, or pennant. The handle, which can retrace up to one-
third of the rise of the cup but typically not more, signifies the last
consolidation or pullback before the major breakout. The more bullish the
structure and strong the breakout, the lower the retracement is. It is sometimes
wise to hold off until a break above the resistance line created by the cup's
highs.
• Duration : The cup may last up to six months; on weekly charts, it may even
last longer. The handle can take one week to many weeks to complete, but it
is best to do so in one to four.
• Volume : On the breakout over the handle's resistance, there should be a large
spike in volume. Measure the distance from the right peak of the cup to the
cup's bottom to get the expected advance following breakout.
As with most chart patterns, capturing the pattern's essence is more crucial
than its specifics. The handle is a brief pullback followed by an extending
breakout, while the cup is a bowl-shaped consolidation. Even while a cup
retracement of 62% might not meet the pattern specifications, a stock's pattern
might nonetheless represent the idea of the Cup with a Handle.

51
C. Bump and run reversal:
The basis for drawing the trendline. During this phase, prices advance orderly,
with no excess speculation. The trendline should be moderately steep. If it is too
steep, then the next bump is likely to be insignificant enough. If the trendline is
not steep enough, the subsequent trendline break will occur too late. Bukowski
advises that an angle of 30 to 45 degrees is preferable. The angle size will depend
on the scaling (semi-log or arithmetic) and the chart size. As its name suggests,
the Bump and Run Reversal (BARR) is a reversal pattern that develops after
excessive speculation pushes prices up too quickly. T Thomas Bukowski created
the chart pattern and first appeared in the June 1997 issue of Technical Analysis
of Stocks and Commodities. It is also found in his most cu book, the
Encyclopaedia of Chart Patterns. The Bump an pattern's original name was the
Bump and Run Formation, or Barfield

• Phase : The lead-in phase, which might span a month or longer, is the first
phase of the pattern. With a visual evaluation, it is probably simpler to
determine whether the trendline is sound.
• Phase of the Bump : The bump forms as prices veer further off the lead-in
trendline. The angle of the trendline continuing up from the advance of the
bump should ideally be roughly 50% bigger than the angle of the trendline
extending up from the lead-in phase. This would, roughly equal an angle
between 45 and 60 degrees. A visual inspection will do if measuring the angles
is not possible.
• Validity of a Bump : The Bump must show a short-lived speculative advance.
To establish the degree of speculative Ness in the bump, Bukowski created a
"arbitrary" measuring method. At least twice as much space should separate
the highest high of the bump from the lead-in trendline as there should be
between the top trendline and the highest high of the lead-in phase. The lead-
in trendline can be reached by drawing a vertical line from the highest highs.
The example that follows is given.
• Bump rollover : As soon as speculative activity stops, prices peak, and a top
forms. A modest double top or a series of peaks that fall can occasionally form.
The right half of the bump forms as prices start moving toward the lead-in
trendline.
• Volume : As the stock advances during the lead-in phase, volume is usually
average and sometimes low. When the speculative passage begins to form the
left side of the bump, the book expands as the passage accelerates.
• Run Phase : The run phase begins when the pattern breaks support from the
lead-in trendline. Prices will sometimes hesitate or bounce off the trendline
before breaking through. Once the break occurs, the run phase takes over, and
the decline continues.

52
• Support turns resistance : A retracement sometimes tests the newfound
resistance level after breaking the trendline. The reaction lows within the
bump can also identify potential support-turned-resistance level scan also
be identified by the reaction is lows within the bump.

The Bump and Run Reversal pattern can be applied to daily, weekly or
monthly charts. As stated above, the way is designed to identify
unsustainable speculative advances for an extended period. The subsequent
decline can be just as ferocious because prices rise quickly to form the
bump’s left side.

Fig No. 23 Bump and run reversal

53
D. Head and shoulders pattern:
After an uptrend, a head and shoulders reversal pattern develops, and its
completion signifies a change in trend. Three peaks may be seen in the pattern,
the centre peak (called the head) being the highest and the two outer peaks (called
the shoulders) being low and about equal. Each peak's response lows can be
linked together to create a neckline or a support.
The head and shoulders reverse pattern includes a left shoulder, head, right
shoulder, and neckline, as the name suggests. We'll examine each component
separately before putting them all together with examples.

• Prior Trend : For this to be a reversal pattern, it must be proven that there was
an earlier rise. There could not be a head and shoulders reversal pattern or any
reversal pattern if there was no earlier uptrend to reverse.
• Left Shoulder : While in an uptrend, the left shoulder forms a peak that marks
the high point of the current trend. After this peak, a decline ensues to
complete the shoulder formation (1). The fall’s low usually remains above the
trendline, keeping the uptrend intact.
• Head : Starting at the low of the left shoulder, a progress that surpasses the
preceding high marks the top of the head. The second point of the neckline (2)
is where the subsequent decline's low is located after the peak. The uptrend is
frequently threatened when the drop trough crosses the trend line.
• Right Shoulder : The right shoulder is formed by moving from the head's low
point. This peak, which has a lower high than the head, typically coincides
with the left shoulder's high. Even though symmetry is desired, there are
situations when the shoulders look off. The neckline should be broken by the
right shoulder's peak's decline.
• Neckline : The neckline is created by joining low points 1 and 2. The left
shoulder is finished at low point 1 and the head is only being started. The head
ends at low point 2 and the right shoulder starts. The neckline may slope up,
down, or be horizontal depending on how the two low points are related. The
neckline's slope will determine the pattern’s bearish; a downward slope is
more bearish than an upward slope. The neckline can occasionally be formed
using many low points.

Volume plays a key function in confirmation as the head and shoulders pattern
develops. By evaluating volume levels, volume can be measured as an indication
(OBV, Chaykin Money Flow). The volume during the advance of the left
shoulder should ideally, but only seldom, be higher than during the advance of
the head. This drop in volume and the new highs that make up the head are a
cautionary indicator. The next red flag appears when loudness rises as the head
moves away from its apex. Lasting confirmation occurs when volume keeps
rising while the right shoulder declines.

54
Fig No. 24 Head and shoulders pattern

55
E. Head and shoulder bottom pattern :
The head and shoulders bottom are sometimes referred to as an inverse head
and shoulders. The pattern shares many common characteristics with its
comparable partner but relies more on volume patterns for confirmation. The
head and shoulders bottom occurs after a decline and signifies a trend change
when it is completed.

There are three successive troughs in the pattern, the two outside troughs
(shoulders) being shallower than the centre trough (head), which is the deepest.
The two shoulders should be roughly identical in size. The response highs in the
pattern's midsection might be linked together to provide resistance or a neckline.

The price movement that forms the head and shoulders top and bottom patterns
is essentially the same but reversed. The difference between the two is how
volume is used. Book is generally more critical in bottom forms than in top
formations. While a head and shoulders top might benefit from more importance
on the neckline breakout, a bottom would need it. We'll examine each component
of the design one at a time, keeping volume in mind, before assembling it.

• Prior Trend: For this to be a reversal pattern, it must be proven that there was
a previous downturn. A head and shoulders bottom cannot emerge without a
prior downturn to reverse.
• Left Shoulder: While in a downtrend, the left shoulder forms a trough that
marks a new reaction low in the current trend. After creating this trough, an
advance ensues to complete the left shoulder formation.
• Head: The low point of the head is formed by a decrease that starts from the
left shoulder's high and exceeds the previous low. The succeeding advance's
high creates the second point of the neckline (2) after making a bottom.
Sometimes the high of the passage deviates from a downtrend line, casting
doubt on the strength of the decline.
• Right Shoulder: The right shoulder is formed as the neckline descends from
the height of the head. This low is typically in line with the left shoulder’s low
and is always higher than the head. While symmetry is ideal, it is the right
shoulder can beer lower, wider, or narrower on occasion.
• Neckline: The neckline forms by connecting reaction highs 1 and 2. The right
shoulder begins at Reaction High two and ends at the head. The neckline can
slope up, slope down and be horizontal depending on how the two response
highs are related to one another. The neckline's slope will determine the
pattern’s bullish; an upward slope is more bullish than a downward slope.
• Volume: While it is critical to the head and shoulders bottom, volume is also
important to the head and shoulders top. With the required volume expansion,
the reliability of any breakout is maintained. Volume can be quantified by

56
looking at the absolute levels connected to each peak and trough or by using
an indicator (OBV, Chai kin Money Flow).

The early half of the pattern's volume levels are less significant than the second
half. There is typically many volumes and strong selling pressure on the left
shoulder dip.
The intensity of selling can continue during the decline that forms the head’s low.
After this low, subsequent volume patterns should be overseen to look for
expansion during the advances. The advance from the head’s low should show
increased volume and/or better indicator readings (e.g., CMF > 0 or strength in
OBV). B
The right shoulder should decline with light volume once the response high
forms, the second neckline point. Following a gain, profit-taking is typical.
Analysis of volume can assist differentiate between typical profit-taking and
intense selling pressure. On the downturn, indicators like CMF and OBV should
hold their strength. Volume must increase during the advance and the breakout
for the breakout to be regarded as legitimate.

Fig No 25 Head and shoulder bottom pattern

57
F. Double top:
After a protracted uptrend, the double top is a notable reversal pattern that
develops. The pattern, as its name suggests, consists of two about equal peaks
that are spaced apart by a slight trough.
The traditional double top, though there may be variants, signifies a transition
from a bullish to a negative trend that is at least intermediate in duration. Along
the way up, numerous potential double tops may develop, but a reversal cannot
be confirmed until crucial support is broken. We shall examine the formation's
crucial locations before going through an example to help with clarification.

• Prior Trend : Any pattern that reverses a trend must have that trend to do so.
A major rise lasting several months should exist in the case of the double top.
• First Peak: The first peak should represent the trend's highest point. As a result,
the first high is quite typical, and the current uptrend is not in danger or in
doubt.
• Trough : Following the first peak, there is normally a 10% and 20% decrease.
The volume on the drop following the initial high is typically insignificant.
Sometimes the lows are rounded or prolonged, which can indicating demand.
• 4.Second peak : Usually with minimal volume, the advance off the lows
encounters opposition from the prior high. Expect resistance to the previous
high. The only possibility that remains even after hitting resistance is a double
top. Confirmation of the pattern is still required. The time between peaks
might range from a few weeks to many months, with 1-3 months being the
typical time. There is some wiggle room even though precise peaks are
preferred. A peak that is within 3% of the prior high is typically sufficient.
• Peak drop : The second peak's subsequent decline should be characterised by
an increase in volume and/or a quicker descent, sometimes punctuated by one
or two gaps. Such a drop demonstrates that supply and demand are outpacing
one another.
• Support break : The double top and trend reversal are still not complete even
after the price has fallen to support. The double top is complete when support
from the low point in between the peaks is broken. This should also happen
with a rise in volume and/or a quickening of the descent.
• Support turned resistance : When support is broken, resistance may now be
there, and occasionally a reaction rally will test this new resistance level. An
opportunity to short a position or quit a position may be presented by such a
test.
• Price goal : Deduct the distance from the support break to the top to determine
a price goal. This would imply that the potential drop would be more serious
the larger the formation.

58
Fig No 26 Double top

59
G. Double bottom :
After a protracted slump, a notable reversal pattern called the double bottom
emerges. As its name suggests, the pattern consists of two about equal troughs
that follow each other, with a moderate peak in the middle.
The classic double bottom typically signals an intermediate or long-term change
in trend, though there may be variances. Along the journey down, numerous
potential double bottoms may occur, but a reversal cannot be verified until major
resistance is overcome. We'll examine the formation's essential components
before going through an example to help make things more transparent. Any
reversal pattern requires an earlier trend to reverse it. For the double bottom to
occur, there needs be a major downward trend lasting several months.
• First Trough : The current trend's lowest point should be shown by the first
trough. The initial track is typical, and the downward tendency is still present.
• Peak : An advance usually runs between 10% and 20% after the initial trough.
A rise in volume on the passage from the initial drain could indicate early
accumulation even if it is often insignificant. The hesitation in descending
occasionally causes the peak's high to be a little rounded or drawn out. This
hesitancy shows that demand is rising but is still insufficient to cause a
breakout. Any reversal pattern requires an earlier trend to reverse it. For the
double bottom to occur, there needs to be a significant or downward trend
lasting several months.
• First Trough : The current trend's lowest point should be shown by the first
trough. The initial track is typical, and the downward tendency is still present.
• Peak : An advance usually runs between 10% and 20% after the initial trough.
A rise in volume on the passage from the initial track could indicate early
accumulation, even if it is often insignificant. The hesitation in descending
occasionally causes the peak's hight be slightly rounded or drawn out. This
hesitancy shows that demand is rising but is still insufficient to cause a
breakout.
• Breaking the resistance : The double top and trend reversal are still
incomplete, even after the price has increased to the opposition. The double
bottom is complete when resistance from the highest point between the
troughs is broken. This ought to happen with a rise in volume and/or speed.
Broken resistance becomes prospective support, and occasionally the first
corrective tests this newly discovered support level. A similar test may present
a second opportunity to close a short position or open a long one.

60
• Price Target : To calculate a target, add the separation between the resistance
breakout and the lows of the dip. This would imply that the potential progress
would increase with the size of the formation.
• It's always crucial to remember that the double bottom is a medium- to a long-
term reversal pattern and won't appear immediately. Even if formation in a
few weeks is conceivable, having at least four weeks pass between lows is
recommended. The shape of bottoms typically takes longer than that of tops.
Therefore, patience is frequently a virtue. Give the pattern time to grow, then
search for the right hints.

Medium-Term Technical Pattern / Chart Analysis :
Symmetrical Triangle :
The symmetrical triangle, which is also known as a coil, typically develops as
a continuation pattern during a trend. At least of two lower highs and two higher
lows can be seen in the pattern. The symmetrical triangle is formed when these
locations are linked together because the lines converge as they are extended.
Another way is to think of it is as a wedge that starts out wide and gradually gets
narrower. Symmetrical triangles can indicate significant trend reversals, but more
frequently they indicate the continuation of the current trend. What type of
pattern, continuation, or reversal it may be, only a valid breakout may reveal the
direction of the next significant move. We will look at each component of the
symmetrical triangle separately before giving an example using Conseco.

• Trend : A trend must already be in place to be considered a continuation


pattern. The symmetrical triangle denotes a time of consolidation prior to the
trend's continuation following the breakout, and the trend should be at least a
few months old.
• A trendline must have at least two points to form, and a symmetrical triangle
needs two trendlines As a result, a configuration must have a least of 4 points
to be considered a symmetrical triangle. The upper line should slope
downward, and the second high (high 4) should be lower than the first high
(high 2). The lower line should slope upward and the second low, (3) should
be higher than the first low, (1).

• Volume : The volume should diminish as the symmetrical triangle extends and
the trading range contracts. This refers to the quiet before the sorm or the
tightening consolidation before the breakout.
• Duration : The symmetrical triangle can extend for weeks or months. I The
pattern is usually considered a pennant if it is less than 3 weeks Typically, the
duration is about 3 months.
• Breakout Time : The ideal breakout point comes halfway through or near the
end of the pattern's development. The pattern's duration can be calculated by
going backwards from the lower trendline's base to its apex (where the upper
and lower lines converge). A break close to the apex may be unimportant,
while one before the halfway point may be hasty. After all, a breakout must
happen eventually as the apex draws near.
• Breakout Direction : Only after the break has taken place can the breakout's
future course be ascertained. It may seem intuitive, but attempting to predict
the flight's direction can be risky. Even while a continuation pattern should
break out in the long-term trend's direction, this is not always the case.
• Breakout Confirmation : A break must be on a closing basis in order to be
valid. To ensure legitimacy, some traders use a price (3% break) or time
62
(maintained for 3 days) filter. When an upside breakout occurs, the volume
should increase along with the breakout.
• Return to Apex : The apex may serve as future support or resistance after the
breakout (up or down). Before continuing in the breakout's direction, the price
will occasionally retrace to the breakout's apex or a nearby level of support or
resistance.
• Price Objective : There are two ways to gauge the size of the move following
the breakout. First, measuring the symmetrical triangle's length can determine
the breakout point. Second, a parallel trendline can be created.

This line's extension will serve as a potential breakout target. According to


Edwards and Magee, about 75% of symmetrical triangles are continuation
patterns, and the remaining 25% are reversal patterns. Analysis of reversal
patterns can be challenging, and false breakouts are frequent. Nevertheless, we
must wait for the flight to take off rather than predicting its course.
Look for gaps, rapid price movement, and volume for confirmation in further
examination of the breakout. For upward breakouts, confirmation is important.
Prices occasionally make a reaction move back to the apex's breakout point before
continuing to move in the direction of the flight. A second opportunity to join
with a higher reward-to-risk ratio may be provided by this return. Potential reward
price objectives discovered by measurement and parallel trendline extension are
only intended to serve as general guides. Technical analysis is dynamic,
necessitating continuous evaluation. In the aforementioned first example, SUNW
may have reached its target (42) in a short period of time, but the stock showed
no sign of slowing down and climbed past 100 in the months that followed.

Fig 28 Symmetrical Triangle

63
Ascending Triangle :
As a continuation pattern, the ascending triangle is a bullish formation that
typically appears during an uptrend. Although ascending triangles are often
continuation patterns, they can occasionally develop as reversal patterns near the
end of a decline. Ascending triangles are bullish patterns that show accumulation
regardless of where they appear. The pattern is also known as a right-angle
triangle because of its shape. At the top, a horizontal line is formed by two or
more equal highs.
Two or more rising troughs form an ascending trendline that converges on the
horizontal line as it rises. If both lines were extended right, the ascending
trendline could act as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. A right triangle would
form if a perpendicular line were drawn extending down from the left end of the
horizontal line.
Let’s examine each part of the pattern and then look at an example:
• Trend : An established trend should exist to qualify as a continuation pattern.
But because the ascending triangle is a bullish pattern, it is less crucial how
long and how strong the current trend is. The strength of the formation is
crucial.
• Top Horizontal Line : The top horizontal line can only be formed if there are
at least two response highs. The highs should be quite close together but do
not have to be exact. The reaction low and the highs ought to be separated by
some distance.
• Lower Ascending Trendline : At least two reaction lows are required to form
the lower ascending trendline. There should be some space between the
reaction lows, which should increase in magnitude over time. The ascending
triangle is invalid if a more recent reaction low is equal to or lower than the
preceding reaction low.
• Duration : The pattern can span anywhere from a few weeks to many months,
with a typical pattern lasting between one and three months.
• Volume : Volume often decreases as the pattern matures. To verify the flight
when the upside breakthrough has place, e volume should be increased.
Although it is preferable, volume confirmation is not always required.
• Return breakouts : Technical analysis' fundamental principle is that support
evolves into resistance and vice versa. The ascending triangle's horizontal
resistance line changes from resistance to support when it is broken. Before
the move starts, there may occasionally be a return to this support level.
• Target : After the breakout has occurred, the price estimate is calculated by
multiplying the breakout of resistance by the total length of the pattern.

64
In contrast to the symmetrical triangle, an ascending triangle has a distinct
bullish tilt prior to the breakout.
If you remember, the symmetrical triangle is a neutral formation that depends
on the impending flight to determine the next move's course. The horizontal line
on the climbing triangle depicts the overhead supply that restricts security from
rising above a certain level. It appears as though a sizable sell order has been
placed at this level and is being executed slowly, delaying any additional price
increases.

Fig No.29 Ascending Triangle

65
Descending Triangle :
The descending triangle is a bearish pattern that typically develops as a
continuation of a downward trend. Descending triangles can occasionally
develop as reversal patterns at the end of an upswing, although they usually do
so as continuation patterns. Descending triangles are distribution-related bearish
patterns that might appear anywhere. The pattern is also known as a right-angle
triangle because of its shape.
At the bottom, a horizontal line of additional equivalent lows forms. A
trendline that declines and eventually converges with the horizontal line is
formed above by two or more dropping peaks. The descending trendline may
serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle if both lines were extended to the
right. A right triangle would result if a perpendicular line were drawn ascending
from the left end of the horizontal line. Before looking at an example, let's look
at each pattern component.

• Trend : An established trend should exist to qualify as a continuation pattern.


However, the current trend's length and continuity are less significant
because the descending triangle is a bearish pattern. The strength of the
formation is crucial.
• Lower Horizontal Line : At least two reaction lows must form the lower
horizontal line. The lows should be reasonably close to one another,
however, they don't have to be exact. The reaction is high and lows should
be separated by some distance.
• Upper Descending Trendline : At least two reaction highs are required to
form the upper descending trendline. These reaction highs should be
successively lower and there should be some distance between the highs. If a
more recent reaction high equals or exceeds the previous high, the
descending triangle is invalid.
• Duration : The pattern can span anywhere from a few weeks to many
months, with a typical pattern lasting between one and three months.
• Volume : Volume often decreases as the pattern matures. For confirmation,
the volume should be increased when the downside break occurs. Although
it is preferable, volume confirmation is only sometimes required.
• Return to Breakout : One fundamental principle of technical analysis is that
broken support becomes resistance, and vice versa. The descending triangle's
horizontal support line becomes resistant when it is broken. Before the
downtrend starts in earnest, there may occasionally be a return to this newly
discovered resistance level.
• Target : After the resistance breakout, the price prediction is determined by
calculating the pattern's maximum total distance and subtracting it from the
flight. Unlike a symmetrical triangle, a descending triangle has a clear
bearish bias before the break.

66
As a neutral formation, the symmetrical triangle depends on the upcoming
breakout to determine the best action. The horizontal line symbolizes demand
keeping security from falling below a specific level in the descending triangle.
It appears a sizable buy order has been placed at this level and is taking a few
weeks or months to be filled, halting further price decline. The response highs
keep falling even when the price doesn't drop any farther—the descending
triangle's bearish skew results from highs, which show more significant selling
pressure.

Flg No. 30 Descending Triangle

67
Price Channel :
For explanatory purposes, a "bullish price channel" will refer to a channel with
a positive slope and a "bearish price channel" to a channel with a negative slope.
Main trendline: Drawing the main trendline takes at least two points. A price
channel is a continuation pattern with an upper and lower trendline and slopes up
or down. Support and resistance are shown by the upper and lower trendlines,
respectively. Price channels with downward slopes are bearish, while those with
upward slopes are bullish.

• This line sets the trend and the slope. The main trendline extends up for a
bullish price channel, and at least two reaction lows are required to draw it.
The main trendline extends down for a bearish price channel, and at least two
reaction highs are required to draw it.
• The channel line is the line drawn in opposition to the primary trendline. The
channel line should ideally be derived from two response highs or lows.
Analysts only use one reaction, either a high or a low, to create the parallel
channel line after creating the main trendline. The channel line identifies
resistance along a bullish price channel and support along a bearish price
channel.
• Bullish price channel: The trend is bullish if prices rise and move along the
track. Price failure at channel line resistance is the first sign of a trend change.
A subsequent break below primary trendline support would further indicate a
trend change. A bullish break above channel line resistance means an advance
acceleration.
• Bearish price channel: The trend is considered bearish if prices fall and move
within the track. When prices are along the channel line, a trend change is
initially indicated. A further indication of a trend change would be a
subsequent break above the main trendline primary. It would be bearish and
signal an escalation of the downturn if the price broke through the support of
the channel line.
• Scaling: Semi-log scales appear to fit reaction highs and lows the best,
however, this may just be an opinion. Semi-log rankings show % changes in
price.

The distance between moving from 50 to 100 and to 200 will appear to be the
same. Some traders look to buy when prices approach the primary trendline
support in a bullish price channel. Like most price patterns, signals should be
confirmed using other technical analysis techniques. There is an opportunity for
flexibility because technical analysis is equally as much an art as a science.

Short-Term Technical Pattern / Chart Analysis

• Doji
Doji is essential candlesticks that provide information independently and feature
in several essential patterns. The candlestick that results from varying the
duration of the upper and lower shadows resembles a cross, an inverted cross, or
a plus sign. Doji patterns are impartial on their own. Any bias, whether bullish or
bearish, is based on past price activity and potential future confirmation. Both the
singular and plural forms of the term "Doji" are used. The open and close should
ideally, but not necessarily, be equal. The key is to capture the spirit of the
candlestick, even though a doji with a similar open and close would be regarded
as more robust. Doji hints to uncertainty or a struggle between buyers and sellers.
Prices fluctuate during the session above and below the opening level but close
at or close to the opening level. A standoff results as a result. No one is a bull or
a bear.
Doji and Trend
A doji's significance relies on the trend or candlesticks that came before it. A doji
following an increase or extended white candlestick signifies a waning of the
purchasing pressure. A doji indicates that selling pressure is lessening after a
downturn or long black candlestick. Doji suggests that a shift in trend may be on
the horizon as supply and demand are becoming more equalised. Doji by
themselves are inadequate to signify a reversal, and additional proof might

HAMMER & HANGING HAMMER :

Reversals of the long shadow Single candlestick reversal patterns come in two
pairs: a small true body, a lengthy shadow, and a short or non-existent shadow.
Generally speaking, the chart, which can be black or white, should have a long
shadow that is at least twice as long. The classification is based on the long
shadow's location and the price movement before it. The first pair, the hammer
and hanging man, have little bodies and extended lower shadows that are
identical. With little bodies and protracted upper shadows, the second pair,
shooting star and inverted hammer, is also identical. The bullish or bearish in the
nature of these candlesticks is only determined by previous price movement and
additional confirmation.
The hammer and inverted hammer are bullish reversal patterns that appear after
a drop, whereas the shooting star and the hammer and hanging man look identical
bu have different implications based on the preceding price action. Both feature
small natural bodies that can be either black or white, long lower shadows, and
either very short or no upper shadows. The hammer is a bullish reversal pattern
that develops following a decline, just like other single and double patterns.

Hammers can be used to highlight probable trend reversals as well as support or


bottom levels. Hammers signify a bullish recovery after a decline. It appears that
sellers drove prices lower throughout the session based on the extended lower
shadow's low. On the other side, the solid ending shows buyers regained their
composure to solidly end the session. Even while it can seem like there is enough
knowledge, hammers require more bullish backing.
The hammer's low point suggests that there are still lots of sellers. Additional
buying pressure is needed before taking any action, ideally on an increasing
volume. Hammers are comparable to selling climaxes, and high volume might
bolster the veracity of the reversal.
The hanging man can also indicate a top or level of resistance, a bearish reversal
pattern. A hanging guy, which appears after an advance, indicates that selling
pressure is about to pick up.

The extended lower shadow's low demonstrates that sellers drove prices lower
throughout the session. The appearance on the selling pressure raises the yellow
flag even if the bulls regained control and raised prices by the finish. A hanged
man needs bearish affirmation before being used, just like the hammer. A gap
down or a lengthy, black candlestick on high volume can provide as confirmation
in this situation.

73
SHOOTING - STAR :

Although the inverted hammer and shooting star have the same appearance,
their implications vary depending on recent price action. Each candlestick has a
little genuine body (black or white), long upper shadows, and either no bottom
shadows at all or very little lower shadow. These candlesticks indicate possible
trend reversals, but action must wait for confirmation. The shooting star, so
named because it develops after an advance and is in the star position, is a bearish
reversal pattern. A shooting star may indicate a possible trend reversal or level of
resistance.
The candlestick develops when prices open with a higher gap, rise throughout the
session, and close far from their highs. The resulting candlestick has a little black
or white body and a long top shadow. The capacity of the bears to drive prices
lower after a significant increase (the upper shadow) raises the yellow flag. To
denote a major reversal, the top shadow should be quite long and at least twice as
long as the body. There must be bearish confirmation following the shooting star,
which can either be a gap down or a protracted, dark candlestick with significant
volume.
Although it forms after a downturn or downtrend, the inverted hammer
resembles a shooting star exactly. Inverted hammers signify probable trend
reversals or levels of support. The lengthy upper shadow following a dip shows
buying pressure during the session. The bulls, however, were unable to maintain
this buying pressure, and prices finished much below their peaks, leaving a
significant upper shadow. Due to this failure, action must wait for bullish
confirmation. A gap-up is followed by an inverted hammer.

Blending Candlesticks :

One or more candlesticks can be combined to create a single candlestick in


candlestick patterns.
This blended candlestick, which can be made using the methods below, perfectly
captures the essence of the design. The first candlestick's open, the last
candlestick's closure, and the pattern's high and low are all indicators.

A bullish engulfing or piercing pattern combines into a hammer by using the


high/low of the pattern, the close of the first candlestick, and the open of the
second candlestick. The hammer's extended lower shadow suggests a possible
bullish reversal. Both the bullish engulfing and piercing patterns need bullish
confirmation, just like the hammer does.

DERIVATIVES :
Options are a sort of derivative contract that provide their holders the option,
but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a securities at a given price at a later
period. For such a right, option sellers demand an amount known as a
premium. If market prices are unfavourable to them, option holders will let
the option expire worthless and fail to exercise this right, limiting potential
losses to the option premium. On the other hand, if the market changes in a
way that makes this right more valuable, it will use it.
Types of options

a) Call option :
Options Call options are financial contracts that give the option buyer the right
but not the obligation to buy a stock, bond, commodity, or other asset or
instrument at a specified price within a specific time period. The stock, bond,
or commodity is called the underlying asset. A call buyer profits when the
underlying asset increases in price.

b) Put option :
Put options are traded on various underlying assets, including stocks,
currencies, bonds, commodities, futures, and indexes. They are key to
understanding whether to perform a straddle or a strangle. The value of a put
option appreciates as the underlying stock’s price depreciates relative to the
strike price.

§ Important Terms

a) Strike price :
The strike price on an options contract is the price at which the underlying
security can be either bought or sold once exercised.
Also known as the exercise price, the strike price is a key feature of an options
contract.
b) In the Money :
If the market price is higher than the strike price, the call option is in the money
(ITM).
If the market price is lower than the strike price, the put option is in the money.

77
c) At the Money :
Calls and puts that have a strike price at or very close to the underlying
security's current market price are at the money (ATM).
ATM options are most sensitive to changes in time decay, implied volatility,
and interest rates, among other risk factors.

d) Out of the Money :


Out of The Money, options are more desirable to traders with limited capital
because they are almost always less expensive than ITM options.
OTM options are more frequently traded for the covered call or protective put
strategies.

A. Vertical Spread :
A vertical spread involves the simultaneous buying and selling of options of the
same type (i.e., either puts or calls) and expiry, but at different strike prices. The
term 'vertical' comes from the position of the strike prices
A vertical call spread can be a bullish or bearish strategy, depending on how the
strike prices are selected for the long and short positions.

B. Naked Call Sell :
A naked call is when a call option is sold by itself (uncovered) without any
offsetting positions. When call options are sold, the seller benefits as the
underlying security decreases in price.

80
C. Naked Put Sell :
A naked put is an options strategy in which the investor writes, or sells, put
options without holding a short position in the underlying security. A naked put
strategy is sometimes referred to as an "uncovered put" or a "short put" and the
seller of an uncovered put is known as a naked writer.

but with the same expiration. A vertical call spread can be a bullish or bearish
strategy, depending on how the strike prices are selected for the long and short
positions.

E. Short Strangle with Iron Condor :
The tradeoff is that a short iron condor spread has a much lower profit potential

F. Iron condor strategy :
An iron condor is an options-trading strategy that allows an investor to bet on the
relative stability of the underlying asset. The investor buys two call options and
two put options, which combined provide the greatest profit if the price of the
underlying asset remains stable.

H. Zero to Hero :
This strategy involves selling a call and a put at the same strike price and

I. Iron Fly :
An Iron Butterfly Strategy or Iron Fly Strategy is an options trading strategy
that combines multiple calls and put options to devise a market-neutral strategy.
Iron Fly Option Strategy involves running a short call spread and a short put
spread simultaneously. The spread converges at a middle strike price.

87
J. Directional spread :
This directional strategy involves selling a call option with a higher strike price
compared to the spot price and purchasing a call option with a lower strike price.
As with the bull call, the bull put is also used when traders believe that the market
would turn bullish in the near future.

L. Synthetic futures :
Using options involve combining call and put options to replicate the payoff of a
futures contract. For example, an investor buys a call option and sells a put option
for a long synthetic future.

M. Covered Call :
Is an options trading strategy that offers limited return for limited risk. A covered
call involves selling a call option on a stock that you already own. By owning the
stock, you're “covered” (i.e. protected) if the stock rises and the call option
expires in the money.

N. Short Straddle :
A short straddle consists of one short call and one short put. Both options have
the same underlying stock, the same strike price and the same expiration date. A
short straddle is established for a net credit (or net receipt) and profits if the
underlying stock trades in a narrow range between the break-even points.

O. Long Straddle :
A long straddle is a combination of buying a call and buying a put, both with the
same strike price and expiration. Together, they produce a position that should
profit if the stock makes a big move either up or down.

P. Long Strangle :
In a long strangle—the more common strategy—the investor simultaneously
buys an out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put option. The call
option's strike price is higher than the underlying asset's current market price,
while the put has a strike price that is lower than the asset's market price.

Financial Modelling of Alembic Pharmaceuticals :

Financial modelling is the process of using values to describe the activities of a


business in the past, present, and anticipated future. These models are designed
to be instruments for making decisions. They might be used by company
executives to forecast the costs and profits for proposed new assignments.
Financial analysts use them to explain or predict how various events, such as
changes in economic policy or legislation, both internal and external, may affect
a company's stock price. Internal events include changes in strategy or business
model.
Financial models are employed when attempting to value a company or when
comparing it with others in the same sector. Additionally, they are used in
strategic planning to evaluate various hypotheses, determine project costs, make
financial decisions, and allocate company resources..

§ Cash flow analysis model

Cash flow analysis is essential to evaluate a company’s financial health. The analysis provides
insights into the inflow of cash and outflow of cash in a business over a specific period. It helps
to measure the company's ability to generate cash and to meet its financial obligations such as
debt repayment, dividends, and capital expenditures.Cash flow analysis is essential for several
reasons.

Firstly, it allows investors and analysts to determine a company’s liquidity. By analyzing the
company's cash inflows and outflows, investors can assess whether it is generating enough cash
to pay its debts and meet its obligations.

Secondly, cash flow analysis provides information about a company's operating, investing, and
financing activities. By understanding how the company generates and uses cash, investors can
identify areas where the company may be performing well or where it may be struggling.

Thirdly, cash flow analysis can calculate various financial ratios, such as the cash flow margin,
free cash flow, and the cash conversion cycle. These ratios can provide insights into a
company's financial performance and help investors compare its performance to its peers.

Cash flow analysis is important for evaluating a company’s financial health. It provides insights
into the company's liquidity, operating efficiency, and financial performance. Investors and
analysts use cash flow analysis to make informed investment decisions and to identify potential
risks and opportunities.

§ DCF Model

The valuation technique known as "discounted cash flow" (DCF) determines an


investment's value based on its projected future cash flows. DCF analysis aims to
assess the value of an investment today by using projections of how much money
an investment will generate in the future. It can help people who are attempting
to choose between buying securities or a company. Business owners and
managers can use discounted cash flow analysis to help them make decisions
about operational and capital budgets. The company is undervalued and
discounted at 26% therefore we purchase the stocks. Because it taken into
consideration the rate of return anticipated by shareholders, businesses frequently
utilise the weighted average cost of capital termed as (WACC) as the discount
rate, we have found the rates at different weights.

FINDINGS & CONCLUSION :

Findings :
1. Growing Market: The private banking sector in India has witnessed significant
growth over the years. The rising affluence, increasing number of high net
worth individuals (HNIs), and expanding middle class have contributed to the
expansion of private banking services.

2. Market Competition: The private banking sector in India is highly


competitive, with domestic and international players vying for market share.
Established private banks and foreign banks operating in India compete to
attract wealthy clients by offering personalized services and a wide range of
investment products.

3. Relationship-based Approach: Private banks in India often adopt a


relationship-based approach to serve their clients. Relationship managers play
a crucial role in understanding clients’ financial goals and offering tailored
solutions, including wealth management, investment advisory, estate
planning, and more.

4. Focus on Wealth Management: Private banks in India emphasize wealth


management services, including portfolio management, tax planning, and
estate management. They provide diverse investment options such as equities,
mutual funds, fixed income, real estate, and alternative investments to cater to
different risk appetites and financial objectives.

5. Technology Adoption: Private banks in India are increasingly embracing


technology to enhance customer experience and streamline operations. They
offer digital platforms and mobile applications to enable clients to access their
accounts, make transactions, and receive personalized investment
recommendations.

Equity Research is critical in filling the information gap between the buyers and
sellers of shares. Extensive research is required to analyse which stocks to invest
in properly. Banks were considered as the backbone of the financial system and
played an essential role in the economic development of a nation. They act as
intermediaries in changeling funds from surplus to deficit units to utilize them
104
fully. An efficient banking system of countries has significant positive
externalities, which generally increase the efficiency of economic transactions.
There was a significant shift in the banking system in the policy atmosphere after
the introduction of financial sector reform in 1992; these reforms impacted the
working of commercial banks.
One of the objectives of financial sector reform was to improve the efficiency
of the banking system in the Indian economy. Banking Sector shows immense
growth, and the potential for profits is more significant in the sector thus, we
analyzed stocks in this sector using specific fundamental ratios. A company
should be fundamentally strong, showing promise of profits and thus stock
appreciation. A company is said to be undervalued if its fair value is higher than
its market value. We try to find those undervalued stocks and then manage them
through portfolio management techniques.
The private banking sector in India has experienced remarkable growth and
transformation. With a focus on personalized services, wealth management, and
technological advancements, private banks strive to cater to the financial needs
of individuals and families. However, it's important to note that the banking sector
is dynamic, and various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory changes,
and customer preferences, can impact the landscape. Continuous monitoring of
the industry and staying updated with the latest information will provide a more
accurate understanding of the private banking industry in India.
The technical analysis then helps us determine a good buying/selling position
that results in more returns. Portfolio management also minimizes the risks
involved in an investment and increases the chances of making profits.
Diversification into various equities further helps to minimize the risk, but the
reduced allocation is required. A good stock combination without a proper
allocation is also doomed to give losses. Budget is equally essential. Many tools
can be used to allocate funds appropriately. The optimized assigned portfolio
shows greater profits, and thus it performs well in the market.
