Live Portfolio – Initialized Feb/4

Making use of technical analysis has always been a adrenaline rush for me, and I have been doing it for a long time now. But, from now on I will be sharing the trades and the ideas behind them with all of you. This portfolio will be of select few stocks that are picked up just for the technical reasons, and for the risk management reasons, I will be making both Buy and Sell calls for them.

Stocks that I bought today are CAIRN [stockquote]CAIRN[/stockquote], UCOBANK [stockquote]UCOBANK[/stockquote] and, VOLTAS [stockquote]VOLTAS[/stockquote]. Below are the price charts of all the above with reason of the transaction.

Cairn India Technical Chart

Its quite visible, that the CAIRN’s stock is going to experience the golden cross of 50×200 bullish cross-over, and the combination with declining histogram levels of MACD are suggesting a short-term up move for the scrip. The convergence of RSI with price action is also giving a positive support for the thesis. Also, the stock is trading close to the lower Bollinger-band, suggesting an upcoming Bullish move.

For UCOBANK, the stock was in a flag formation for a while and has been trading close to the lower Bollinger-band. An opportunity is visible around the current levels, with the increasing RSI levels combined with increase in volumes. Although, for the stock it is suggested to have Trailing stop losses in place.

UCOBANK Technical Chart

The last stock is VOLTAS and it has broken out of a downward flag on Wednesday, confirmed by the large number of trades on Thursday and close above the upper line of Flag. The increase in RSI is also suggesting improved buys for the stock.

Here’s how I have allocated the trades:

Analysis: INFY

Today’s pick is INFY [stockquote]INFY[/stockquote]. The stock was moving in a range till March since starting of the year. It then fell sharply to Rs. 2,400 levels in April after moving in range till July the stock again fell to Rs. 2,200 levels. Since then the stock has been on an uptrend. In the last three months, the stock has moved +16% vs. +5% of the Nifty’s.

INFY technical analysis chart

Oscillator RSI is hovering in the over-bought territory whereas CMO is in no man’s land. The stock is trading in the middle of Bollinger band not suggesting any directional move. However, short-term technical just saw 9×4 bearish cross-over.

The MACD line has just penetrated the signal line in a bearish manner. However, both long-term and short-term GMMA lines are very distant from each other, giving out an extremely bullish sign for the scrip.

INFY correlation chart

INFY’s average correlation with the Nifty is 0.51 which is positive. The scrip will be replicating movement of Nifty. [stockquote]NIFTYBEES[/stockquote]

INFY volatility chart

INFY has a historical volatility in the range of 0.2 to 0.7. The scrip’s volatility is currently in the higher end of the range.

INFY Analyst coverage

Majority of analysts are suggesting a hold for this stock given the current condition of the IT industry.

Given these technicals, we suggest a short-term sell. For the long-term, we suggest a buy given the well spread out GMMA lines. However, we recommend that investors tread with caution given that the spread in the GMMA lines has occurred due to the +20% spike seen at the most recent earnings announcement. Also, for risk management we suggest having trailing stop-losses in case trend-reversal were to take place.
