Stockology is a weekly column by futurologist Mahesh Gowande. He is the founder and director of Ayan Analytics which has developed ZodiacAnalyst. It is a research software, with time and price charting tools, and it is exclusively used along with technical support.
After a long time, the weekly close was nominally below the open, marking the weekly candle in red supported by solid volumes. This put up the first sign of confirmed weakness in the bullish camp. Our technical targets remained in line, and on the Time Cycle, the bear camp is catching up.
Noticeably, market breadth was very positive, and as we had mentioned in the earlier write-up, the small and midcap sector indices will enjoy something similar to the 2003 to 2007 phase.
Technical: Nifty on the weekly charts gave a negative closing; the candle formed seems bulls have consciously supported the price. We suggest booking profits in overbought stocks and strategically building a cash buffer in the portfolio, as correction signals are appearing on the cards, and it can throw a lot of investment opportunities. The breaking of 21,200 is to be considered a confirmation of the reversal and corrective movement.

After the trigger of 21,200 - ideally, when an uptrend enters the corrective phase, the first trigger generally gives a nice pullback, allowing the bulls to get out of their trapped positions, obviously in loss, but the loss is less or nominal. The downside targets are 20,586 and 20,230. The upside is 21,940; level 21,375 is the best swing level buy, with a stop at 21,200. Reducing positions is highly recommended.
TimeMap - After a very long time, this is the first time Nifty has shown weekly negativity, which we had mentioned in our previous two weekly write-ups. Since markets are in the secular bull phase, volatility would be high - there will be infinite opportunities to invest and exit; in a secular bull run, the corrective phases are equally steep and fast.
The Venus in Jyestha will revive the Media sector and the mining stocks. In the coming week, a few significant aspects will bring volatility in the markets, and the energy sector will see some essential positive events or news. SUN 120 URANUS is very positive for oil-producing and processing giants, and the impact will be felt in the next six months.
