Hunt for value amid rough weather: Going the bottom-up way…
…Bluechips indicating bullish undertone Sensex: 25979 Nifty: 7979yThe year 2016 will go down as the one filled with most uncertainty inrecent times as equity markets have weathered one storm after another,starting with slowdown in the Chinese economy, currency depreciation,Brexit, Donald Trump’s victory in US Presidential elections,Demonetisation and rate hike by the US Fed. The market took most ofthese events in its stride and is set to end CY2016 on a flat note whichhighlights that all the negative news has been absorbed very well
Projected upside towards 9600NSE Nifty Long Term Bar Chart
highlights that all the negative news has been absorbed very well
In this backdrop, the market might remain volatile in the initial part ofCY2017. However, we believe investors should look beyond near termconcerns as overall price structure is still positive. The risk/reward isfavourable for long term investment, therefore one should look toaccumulate quality stocks in a staggered manner for long term horizon.
We expect Nifty to conclude its current corrective phase going into 2017 Long Term 200
Major valuearea @ 7500
and resolve higher towards 9600 over the next 12 to 15 months whichprovides an upside of ~20% from current levels. We do not foresee theindex sustaining below its major value area placed around 7500 region.
In our endeavour to get a holistic view of the market, this time we havealso adopted a bottom up approach and screened all Nifty constituents onour statistical model based on key technical parameters. Findings from thebottom up approach also corroborate our positive stance and projects

bottom up approach also corroborate our positive stance and projectsupside towards 9600 for the Nifty over the coming year.
The only risk to our bullish stance for 2017 would be if the market extendsthe time wise consolidation with limited price performance.

…overwhelming majority of index constituents reflect bullish undertone
In addition to the top-down method of analysing the index, this time we have also adopted a bottom up approach by screening all Nifty constituents on our in-housestatistical model based on key technical parameters to form our view on the index for the forthcoming year. The objectivity driven analysis of each index constituentpresents a holistic view of the underlying trends across a broad spectrum of market and provides a unique perspective of gauging the market direction.Our statistical model evaluated the Nifty components having more than a decades trading history (44 stocks)* on various technical parameters to gauge the longterm trend, historical price wise and time wise behaviour during corrections, long term moving averages and momentum parameters.Outcome: An overwhelming majority of index constituents are favouring a bullish bias for the coming year. 21 index constituents have approached price wise, timewise maturity of correction and are set to begin fresh uptrend. Also,12 index stocks have already begun a fresh uptrend in 2016 while 6 index stocks continued theiruptrend and outperformed in corrective phase. Only 5 index constituents indicate that corrective phase is yet to approach maturity. Based on these observations,
Only 5 index stocks may extend corrective phase in coming
In the coming year, 39 out of 44 index constituents favour
uptrend and outperformed in corrective phase. Only 5 index constituents indicate that corrective phase is yet to approach maturity. Based on these observations,with almost 39 of 44 constituents carrying a combined weightage of ~78% on the Nifty pointing towards a positive outlook in the coming year, we believe thecurrent correction provides the best entry opportunity for investors to start accumulating quality stocks to ride the expected up move in the coming year.

Top-down approach also validates Nifty @9600

The dual confirmation of top down analysis and bottom up approach both pointing in thesame direction reconfirms our positive stance on the market for the upcoming year.The confluence of key technical factors converging around the 9600 region makes this a likely target for the coming year based on the following observations:
The 123.6% reciprocal retracement of the entire 2015-16 correction (9119 to 6825) is also placed at 9660Price wise equality with the 2016 up move (6825 to 8968) measured from the major support base of 7500 projects upside towards 9643 for the coming year
We do not foresee the index going below its major value area placed around the 7500 region as it is the confluence of following: A) The long term rising 200 weekEMA is at 7500 levels The index respected this long term moving average during all major corrections in 2011 2012 2013 and most recently even in 2016 B) TheEMA is at 7500 levels. The index respected this long term moving average during all major corrections in 2011, 2012, 2013 and most recently even in 2016. B) Thelower boundary of parallel channel marking equality with major rallies since 2008 is placed around 7500 region. Major bottoms of 2012, 2013 and 2016 are placednear the lower band of this channel. C) The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire 2016 rally (6825 to 8968) is also placed near 7600

The statistical analysis of all historical bull market corrections since 2003 provides vital insights into the market behaviour during and post such corrections. Since
Ignore noise rather capitalise on value area: Initiate staggered positions
2003, out of the 14 instances of bull market corrections, on 10 occasions the magnitude of correction has not been more than 12-15% from the intermediate top.Only in four instances has the correction been of deeper magnitude (25-30%). Key observation is that the index has never witnessed two consecutive correctionsmeasuring ~25%. This implies that within a larger uptrend 12-15% decline is a part of the normal bull market correction. Post the normal bull market correction,the index has given positive returns over the next six months to one year horizon on all 10 occasions.In the present context, the Nifty has already witnessed a 25% correction between March 2015 to February 2016. Going by the historical evidence, the currentdecline off September 2016 peak (8968) is also approaching price wise maturity as the index has already corrected ~12%. We believe the risk/reward has turnedextremely favourable for long term investment as major part of the price wise correction is already over. It is obviously difficult to predict an exact bottom.

Therefore, investors with a long term horizon should start accumulating quality stocks from current levels itself and look for portfolio construction rather thanwaiting to catch the exact bottom.

Midcaps to rule the roost…
The performance of broader markets as represented by the midcap and small cap indices, since 2014 till date testifies to the structural uptrend in our markets. Duringp p y p p p gthe entire corrective phase in 2015-16, broader markets outperformed the benchmark in relative terms. The midcap and small cap indices surged to new life-timehighs in 2016. The midcap index is up over 7% YTD against a modest 1% gain on the benchmark. We expect this relative outperformance trend of broader marketsto continue going into 2017 as well.In a structural uptrend, broader markets tend to outperform the benchmark as they reflect sentiments prevailing across a larger section of the market. The adjoiningcharts re-based to 100 compared the performance of broader market vis-à-vis benchmarks. As evident, broader markets underperformed the benchmark in the entirerecovery in 2009–10 and also during the up move in 2012–13 reflecting lack of broader participation. However, post the structural turnaround in 2014, broadermarkets have consistently outperformed the benchmark highlighting strong retail participation that is also reflected in the strong DII inflows.y p g g g g p p g
