Buy/Sell: 5 Swing Trading Stock Picks By VLA Ambala On Special Trading Session - 2nd March

On February 29th, the GOI released the latest GDP quarterly data, which suggests that the Indian economy has been resilient, recording a 7.6% GDP growth in FY23-24. The growth surpasses the GDP growth of 7% recorded in FY2022-23. The fresh data has triggered a sense of excitement in the market.

However, the FED fiscal deficit remains a concern, with the deficit touching Rs.11.02 lakh crore moving closer to the Rs.17.34 lakh crore limit. Notably, the target was revised to a GDP of 5.8% from the initial 5.9% estimate announced in the 2023 Budget. In just the first month of 2024, the fiscal deficit rose by Rs.1.2 lakh crore after the quarterly hike. Following this, the deficit also widened to 63.3% of the budget target.

Eight major sectors - Coal, Crude, Oil, Natural Gas, Petroleum Refinery Products, Fertilizers, Steel, Cement, and Electricity witnessed a slowdown in the growth, recording a 15-month low at 3.6% in January 2024. However, on the first day of the March series, both Nifty and Sensex recorded new all-time highs. This rally was supported significantly by Reliance Industries, Banking, and Metal stocks. The Nifty index also observed a shift in its current support range, which moved to 21950-21900 from 21830-21760, said V.L.A. Ambala, a Research Analyst (SEBI Registered), Co-founder - Stock Market Today (SMT).

Apart from a higher valuation, there is no other reason to expect a profit booking in the stock market. Meanwhile, the banking sector is recovering as the US markets await the FED's rate cut announcements in the upcoming weeks. For March 2, 2024 - the crucial levels for Nifty will be 22250 and 22100 as support, whereas, 22400 and 22490 will likely emerge as resistance points, said the analyst.

Technical View of the Market

With a fresh all-time high at 22353, the Nifty formed a Bullish Belt Hold candlestick pattern at the daily timeframe, with the day's open emerging as the day's low. Notably, leveling this pattern, the Nifty will continue to observe bearish sentiments while going above it will be welcomed with an upside rally.

The Nifty index also reached 61 Relative Strength Index (RSI) at the daily and 73 at the weekly RSI, which continues to remain on the higher side. Ideally, the price should witness correction here but with the bulls seeing significant potential in the Indian market, the benchmark index continues to be reliant and prepares for another upside, which could occur only if the Nifty does not close below the 22000 range in this FY.

Notably, price divergence is being recorded as Nifty trades nearly 3% below its 20-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The Bearish Cross Down MACD in Nifty at the daily timeframe at the 22050 price range remains a key support level in the index.

Market View for 2nd March 2024

The market sentiment witnessed a fresh vigour after the GOI published the data about GDP growth. Regardless, the market is gradually paying more attention to upcoming events, including FED rate hike announcements and domestic elections.

With the markets increasingly anticipating good governance ahead, the prices will soon reflect the sentiment. Considering these, it can be anticipated that the benchmark index may continue to trade within the 2-3% range in the upcoming week. The range that we are likely to trade in during the same duration will be 2% to 3.35%. During the same period, Nifty's key support levels will be at 21950- 21900, and resistance will be seen within 21830 and 21760 levels, said V.L.A. Ambala, a Research Analyst (SEBI Registered), Co-founder - Stock Market Today (SMT).

The banking index has outperformed intraday. Going ahead 47100 and 46900 will work as key support targets for Bank Nifty, and 47450 and 47800 are going to act as major resistance. MEDIA, METAL, and REALTY sectors will continue to look promising in the next 1-2 days compared to other sectors, according to V.L.A. Ambala, a Research Analyst (SEBI Registered), Co-founder - Stock Market Today (SMT).
