The Nifty 50 decisively broke above the six-session consolidation range of 23,800-24,300 and closed with gains of 1 percent on July 17, supported by above-average trading volumes. This came despite oil prices remaining elevated around $83 a barrel in a range-bound manner.

Along with improving momentum indicators, which had been signalling sideways movement in recent sessions, the benchmark index moved back above its 100-day EMA—a level it had failed to decisively surpass over the previous three sessions—and the midline of the Bollinger Bands. It also continued to hold firmly above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs throughout the recent consolidation phase.

The index now requires sustained follow-through buying above the 24,350-24,400 zone, which coincides with the 200-day EMA and serves as the immediate resistance area, to move towards the previous swing highs of 24,530-24,600. These levels are crucial for triggering a fresh leg of the rally towards 24,800-25,000. Until then, the index may remain in a consolidation phase, with immediate support placed in the 24,200-24,000 zone, according to experts.

The Nifty 50 opened higher and remained in positive territory throughout the session. The index gained strength as the day progressed, climbing to an intraday high of 24,367 before settling at 24,334, up 262 points, or 1.09 percent.

On the daily charts, the index formed a long bullish candle and climbed above the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the recent correction from 24,530 to 23,800, indicating a positive technical setup.

The RSI jumped to 58.48 with a positive crossover, while the MACD is on the verge of a bullish crossover, with its histogram showing fading weakness. Additionally, the DI+ crossed above the DI- on the ADX indicator, suggesting that bulls are gradually gaining the upper hand over bears.

"The overall trend remains positive as the index continues to trade above its critical moving averages. Additionally, the RSI has entered a bullish crossover, reinforcing the positive momentum," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

According to him, the index is likely to remain strong in the near term, with the potential to advance towards the 24,800 level. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 24,200, and a decisive fall below this level could trigger a phase of consolidation.

The weekly options data suggests that the 24,500-24,600 zone, where the maximum Call open interest is concentrated, is likely to act as the next resistance area for the Nifty 50. On the downside, 24,200, which has the maximum Put open interest, is expected to provide immediate support, followed by 24,000 as a next support, which has the second-highest Put open interest.

Meanwhile, the India VIX, the market's fear gauge, rose 2.08 percent to 13.15 after declining over the previous two sessions. However, it remains below alarming levels. A sustained decline below the 13-12 zone would provide greater comfort for the bulls.

Bank Nifty

The Bank Nifty also staged a strong breakout above its five-day consolidation range and moved above the midline of the Bollinger Bands (57,800), while consistently holding above all key moving averages during the recent consolidation. It outperformed the benchmark Nifty 50, surging 939 points, or 1.63 percent, to close at 58,521, led by strong buying in banking heavyweights.

The RSI climbed above the 60 mark with a bullish crossover, while the MACD moved up, although it remained below the signal line. The weakness in the MACD histogram also faded, indicating that bullish momentum is gradually strengthening.

According to Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, the immediate resistance for the Bank Nifty is placed in the 58,700-58,800 zone, which coincides with its previous swing-high area. A sustained move above this zone could extend the pullback towards 59,200, followed by 59,600 in the short term.

On the downside, the immediate support for the Bank Nifty is placed in the 58,100-58,000 zone, he said.

Trade Cycles

The four important features of Trade Cycle are (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) Depression!

The trades cycle or business cycle are cyclical fluctuations of an economy. A full trade cycle has got four phases: (i) Recovery, (ii) Boom, (iii) Recession, and (iv) depression. The upward phase of a trade cycle or prosperity is divided into two stages—recovery and boom, and the downward phase of a trade cycle is also divided into two stages—recession and depression.

Phases of Trade Cycle:

The phases of trade cycle are explained with a diagram:

(1) Recovery:

In the early period of recovery, entrepreneurs increase the level of investment which in turn increases employment and income. Employment increases purchasing power and this leads to an increase in demand for consumer goods.

As a result, demand for goods will press upon their supply and it shall, thereby, lead to a rise in prices. The demand for consumer’s goods shall encourage the demand for producer’s goods.

The rise in prices shall depend upon the gestation period of investment. The longer the period of investment, the higher shall be the price rise. The rise of prices shall bring about a change in the distribution of income. Rent, wages, interest do not rise in the same proportion as prices.

Consequently, the margin of profit improves. The wholesale prices rise more than retail prices. The prices of raw materials rise more than the prices of semi-finished goods and the prices of semi-finished goods use more than the prices of finished goods.

(2) Boom:

The rate of investment increases still further. Owing to the spread of a wave of optimism in business, the level of production increases and the boom gathers momentum. More investment is possible only through credit creation. During a period of boom, the economy surpasses the level of full employment and enters a stage of over full employment.

(3) Recession:

The orders for raw materials are reduced on the onset of a recession. The rate of investment in producers’ goods industries and housing construction declines. Liquidity preference rises in society and owing to a contraction of money supply, the prices falls. A wave of pessimism spreads in business and those markets which were sometime before sellers markets become buyer’s markets now.

(4) Depression:

The main feature of a depression is a general fall in economic activity. Production, employment and income decline. The prices fall and the main factor responsible for it is, a fall in the purchasing power.

The distribution of national income changes. As the costs are rigid in nature, the margin of profit declines. Machines are not used to their full capacity in factories, because effective demand is much less. The prices of finished goods fall less than the prices of raw materials.

..BANKING TERMINOLOGY

There are various types of Banks: PSU Banks, Private Banks, Co-operative/Regional Banks, Small Finance Banks and Foreign Banks. When you deposit money in a bank, let's say the bank gives you an interest rate of 4%. But when the bank lends out this money, they lend it out at say, 12%. The difference of 8% in the above scenario is effectively the profit of the bank! The loans that do not pay interest for 90 days are known as Non-performing Assets. Banks have to provide for such bad loans. Structure of a Bank Asset for a Bank: The asset portion of a bank's capital includes cash, government securities, and interest-earning loans (e.g., mortgages, letters of credit, and inter-bank loans). Liabilities for a Bank: The bank's main liabilities are its capital (including cash reserves and, often, subordinated debt) and deposits. The latter may be from domestic or foreign sources (corporations and firms, private individuals, other banks, and even governments). Banks are required to maintain Liquidity with the Reserve Bank of India: SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio): It is the money a bank needs to preserve in the form of cash, gold or government Bonds before providing credit customers. This limitation is added by RBI on banks to make funds available to customers on-demand at your earliest convenience. Banks are required to maintain SLR at 18%. CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio): Banks are required to hold a certain proportion of their deposits in the form of cash. Banks don’t hold these as cash with themselves, but deposit such amounts with RBI / currency chests. CRR rate is at 4.5% currently. Repo Rate: The rate at which the RBI lends short-term money to the banks. The RBI through its Monetary Policy committee changes the repo rate to balance growth and Inflation. Reverse Repo rate: The rate at which banks park their short-term excess liquidity with the RBI. Now let us understand various terminologies for Banks Net Interest Income (NII): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is calculated as Interest Income – Interest Expended Net Interest Margin (NIM): This is the spread the bank makes on its lending. It is the earning which is left after deducting the cost paid to depositors from its yields on Loans. This is denoted in % terms. The formula is Yield on Loans – Cost of funds Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a measure of a bank's available capital expressed as a percentage of a bank's risk-weighted credit exposures. Essentially, it is the Capital that is available to lend. Tier I Capital – In simple words this capital is freely available with the bank to lend out. Tier II Capital- This is the capital tied up somewhere and is less freely available to lend. In case of an adverse event, the bank can use this capital to lend. Under Basel III norms, a bank’s tier 1+tier 2 capital must be a minimum of 8% of its risk-weighted holdings. The minimum capital adequacy ratio, also including the capital conservation buffer, is 10.5%. Current Account Saving Account (CASA)- There is no interest paid on the Current Account and a small interest rate is paid on a savings account. The combination of both is called CASA which shows the liabilities of the bank on which it pays relatively less interest. Deposits: Bank deposits are a savings product that customers can use to hold an amount of money at a bank for a specified length of time. In return, the financial institution will pay the customer the relevant amount of interest, based on how much they choose to deposit and for how long. Now let us come to NPA. Gross NPA (GNPA): It is the total loans on which no payment has been paid for 90 days or more. GNPA % is usually shown in each Bank’s quarterly results. The percentage is basically the GNPA amount as a % of the total advances. Slippages: Slippages denote the fresh amount of loans that have turned bad in a year. The slippage ratio of a bank is calculated as Fresh accretion of NPAs during the year /Total standard assets at the beginning of the year multiplied by 100. Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR): This is the ratio of provisioning to GNPA and indicates the extent of funds a bank has kept aside to cover loan losses. For Instance, a company has GNPAs of Rs 100 and they have set aside 50 Rs, then the PCR is 50%. Net NPA (NNPA): The total figure left after deducting provisions made for bad loans from GNPA. (GNPA – Provisions+upgrades/writeoffs = NNPA) Special Mention Account (SMA) SMA-0 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 0 to 30 days. SMA-1 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 30-60 days. SMA-2 is a category in which stress with respect to the principal and interest has remained overdue for a period of 60-90 days
