The Long-Overdue NIFTY Index Rally: Let’s Talk About PROFIT TARGETS
- The NIFTY Index (NIFTY INDEX) has been pullingback for 5 consecutive months. However the index may be at a juncture where it could start to rally and rise again.
- This insight discusses the short-term (WEEKLY, for the next few weeks) tactical profit targets for the NIFTY.
- According to our NIFTY WEEKLY model, the index has a good chance to reverse and go higher, as long as Trump suddenly does not put some tariffs also on India!
EQD Intraday | Tariff Tantrum Impact on Intraday Volatility
- This Insight presents intraday data to illustrate regional volatility moves over the past one and a half trading days.
- Sunday’s US tariff announcement led to a global decline in equities and a spike in volatility on Monday. Asian indices began to recover today with a slight decrease in volatility.
- Market reaction to Sunday’s announcement was short-lived, so far, and the impact on implied volatility muted. The risk of a renewed volatility spike to or above Monday’s intraday high’s remains.

S&P/ASX 200 Flashes a Strong Tactical BUY Signal
- The S&P/ASX 200 (AS51 INDEX) last week closed up, reached an 8566.90 all time high peak on Jan 31st, then began a sharp pullback this Monday.
- The pullback has just begun, but has already reached the WEEKLY OVERSOLD area (50% probability of reversal) according to out PRICE model
- If the pullback continues this week or the next, we see it as a strong BUY opportunity, the index’s uptrend can continue after the pullback.
