HDFC - Can The Stalwart Hold On - A Technical Review

 HDFC Bank or better known as the Excel Sheet bank given its penchant to give out 20% growth figures year in year out has come under some kind of attack in the past month post its results (Not the George Soros type attack before everyone loses their minds)

Lets just look at a technical perspective on the long term charts of HDFC Bank, here below you would find a monthly and weekly chart of the bank and it clearly shows that the bank has been in some sort of broad range between 1700-1300 (give it close to 3 years, for the ones asking)

The stock currently trades precariously close to its 200 Weekly Moving average at around 1448, a break below this level on a weekly closing basis opens the gateways to supports closer to 1320-1340 on the downside. Again, i am not stating that it would happen immediately but one needs to be open to the idea that a break below the 200 weekly moving average is a haunting perspective for the stock.

On the monthly charts, 1300 emerges as a strong support for the bank and personally would be a great buying area or atleast an area where I would want to personally deploy some funds. Remember, a decisive break below 1210-1220 levels opens the outside possibility for the stock to hit 3 figures. 




What should you do?
A strong buy for the counter emerges around 1320-1330 levels for the ultra long term, deploy some cash at that moment. Even for a swing trade, wait for 1330-1320 levels to go long with a strict stop loss near the 1270-1250 levels for a retest of 1510 level on the upside
For my fellow bears, the pattern of the stock on the charts is such that every rally could become a shorting opportunity, wait patiently for the stock to recover a little and then SELL!

Bitcoin Surges to Over $57,000 in a Milestone Rally Fueled by ETF Optimism

In a remarkable rally on February 26, Bitcoin reached its highest point in more than two years, hitting the $57,000 mark, marking a 9 percent surge. The cryptocurrency's ascent was, however, short-lived as it retreated to around $56,500, according to a report by CoinDesk. This significant spike, the first time since November 2021, is attributed to growing optimism surrounding sustained investor demand through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). During the day-long rally, Bitcoin swiftly climbed from $53,000 to $54,000, $56,000, and eventually touched the $57,000 milestone. Bloomberg reported an earlier rise of up to 3.5 percent, reaching $53,600. The last time Bitcoin traded at this level was in December 2021 when it achieved an all-time high of nearly $69,000 the preceding month. Investors have shown strong interest in newly launched ETFs, allocating over $5 billion in the past month. This figure takes into account the $7.4 billion withdrawn from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which under...

Revolutionizing the $26.5 Trillion Treasury Market: Will New Rules Boost or Bust the World's Financial Epicenter?

In recent years, the $26.5 trillion US Treasury market, the world's largest and most liquid, has faced challenges that have raised concerns among regulators. The market plays a crucial role in executing monetary policy, facilitating government borrowing, and serving as a benchmark for global asset pricing. Despite its importance, the Treasury market experienced dysfunction during crises such as the 2019 repo crisis and the market meltdown in March 2020, leading regulators to consider significant changes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), led by Chair Gary Gensler, has recently finalized two rules aiming to reshape the market. The most impactful of these rules, passed in December, will reshape the market's infrastructure by mandating more trades through a clearinghouse. This move is expected to enhance oversight, protect investors, and prevent cascading defaults during crises. Kevin McPartland, head of market structure at Coalition Greenwich, describes this as a ...
