But during this chaos, one should never forget favourable risk - reward offering counters so as to manage better risk. One such sector is IT. Let’s dive deep into the charts and understand formations.
Monthly Nifty IT: Time Cycle
Post Covid correction, IT segment ran up significantly to deliver staggering 250% returns in 92 weeks. Since beginning of 2022, price underwent correction of approximately 33% and consolidation for almost 88-89 weeks. Broader formation looks like massive curve, which again confirms time correction. In a way, curve formation is good so as to reduce price damage. Interestingly, index is now showing emergence of earlier bullish trend.
Weekly Nifty IT: Price action with Fibonacci
Fibonacci retracement helps to understand supports in an ongoing bullish rally. Price action retraced 50% of the last advance (highlighted in green colour trendline) and consolidated near that for almost 71 weeks. Previous week was the first week where price came out of consolidation and present week was a follow through of breakout, which adds strength in ongoing rally. “Buy on dip” can be the perfect strategy for the entire sector from positional approach.
