USD/INR View: Short USD/INR Future at 66.80 for target of 63 and 59

Since last 5 years US Dollar was appreciating against Indian Rupee. It made a high of 69.20 in February 2016. But now the trend will change soon. If USDINR breaks 66.15 on closing basis, it will give confirmation of down trend. Second level confirmation will come below 66.


On Daily chart, USDINR has already given sell below 66.72. It has created Island Reversal pattern. Now 200 days simple moving average placed around 67.35 which will act as a resistance. Now support will be in the range of 66-66.15. Below that support we may see a sell- off in the US dollar.


USDINR has broken major support line on monthly chart in March and made a low of 66. After making a low of 66.15, it retraced 61.8% and made a lower high of 68.25 (Support line has become Resistance line). If USDINR gives close below 66.83 on monthly chart, it will be engulfing bear candle which is also bearish pattern.

Normally there is 30 paise difference in USD spot and one month future. That 30 paise difference is basically interest rate differential between two countries. Now Spot is around 66.50 and October future is around 66.80. Let us assume spot will be as it is for entire October month. So if we sell one lot of future at 66.80, it will come down to 66.50 on expiry. So by selling one lot future we will earn Rs.300 per lot (0.30 * 1000) on investment of 1500.

To conclude, one should sell USDINR October future at CMP (66.80) with stop loss above 67.50 for targets of 63 and 59.

Sensex may Hit 100000 ( One Lac) by 2022


Last April, I had predicted correction in Indian Equity markets and Sensex corrected around 25% from its all time High (Sensex - 30000 to 22500). As explained in my last year’s blog, corrections are painful at the time but a very healthy part of whole mechanism. Now it’s time to BUY once again for long term. In my opinion market will create a base around 23500-25000 in a month or two. So start buying good stocks to achieve your long term goals and dreams.

Fundamental View

Lower  Crude Oil:
Global economies are still under pressure. Europe, Japan is in recession. Though US have started increasing interest rates after 6 years but the pace of rate hike is still low. China economy is also slowing down. Because of global slowdown Crude oil hit 12 years low. Technically Crude oil will not go above $60 for next 2-3 years at least. Overall crude oil fall is helpful for India as we import almost 80% crude from abroad. We are going to save lots of currency reserves because of lower crude rates.

Above average Monsoon:  
Last two year’s monsoon was below its long term average. IMD is expecting normal rains this year which will improve rural economy. The Seventh pay commission will also help in increasing demand from rural sector.

Lower Interest Rates:
If it rains normal then overall food inflation will be under control and RBI will have some more room to cut interest rates.

Majority in Rajyasabha : Since last two years, NDA government faced lot of problems in Rajyasabha. Currently Congress has majority in rajyasabha but in next two years strength of NDA and UPA will become almost the same. In that case with the help of other regional parties NDA can clear major bills in both the houses.

Indian GDP:
India got independence in the 1947 but it took 60 years to become 1 Trillion $ economy. In 2007 Indian economy surpassed 1 trillion $ mark. To become 2 trillion $ economy India took just 7 years. Overall Indian economy is in sweet spot; if everything goes right we will start hitting 8-9% GDP growth. Now India will become 3 trillion $ economy in next 4 years and 4 trillion by 2024.  

Technical View


Short Term View:
On Daily Chart Sensex is forming Inverted Head & Shoulder Pattern. Sensex should make a short term Top around 26000-26300. We may see some profit booking around this level. Sensex will create second shoulder of a pattern in this profit booking. It will make a base around 23500-24500 in next few days. One should start accumulating good Stocks on this correction. This will be the last correction.




Long Term View:
Sensex is still maintaining its long term support line. Support for this year is around 22000-22500, we will not see major sell off unless Sensex gives close below its support on yearly chart. Now the chances are very remote that Sensex will make a new Low. From 1988-1992 Sensex became 11 times, so we saw 11 years sideways correction after that Rally. Same thing happened 2003-2007, in 5 years Sensex became 7 times. We saw a sideways correction of 7 years from 2007 to 2014. Now Sensex has made a good base for next Rally. India, the fastest growing country in the world has become favourite destination for FII. 

On the basis of Historical data, I am expecting sensex to hit 1, 00,000 (One Lac) by 2022. Some people may think this is impossible but I am just following the charts. Please don’t miss this mother of all bull markets. Happy Investing!!!!

Gold Bull Run will start soon; all investors please fasten your seat belts for next Gold rally…

Since December 2013 Gold was in correction mode. It came down from 35000 to 25000 in last 3 years. As per my expectation it made a base around 25000. Now it will start rallying again. 

Gold will always outperform when Global markets are in financial trouble. Currently all world economies are facing big financial problems. All major central banks have pumped liquidity in to the economies by lowering interest rates and through Quantitative easing. Still economies are not performing that well. So countries have started depreciating their currencies to support exports. 

Technically also Gold has made bottom near 24500-25000 levels. Now it will be very difficult for Gold to break that level easily. Momentum indicators are also giving Buy signal on Daily, Weekly and Monthly charts.



To conclude, one should Buy Gold Future at CMP-26750 with Stop Loss Below 25500 for target of 28500, 31000 in next few months. Gold will touch 54000 by 2020.
Those who want to take position in spot market, they can buy Sovereign Gold Bonds issued by RBI which will give 2.75% interest over and above normal capital gains.
