In yesterday's Chart Summit, we spoke a lot about the relative strength in the Nifty Pharma sector. (You can watch the full videos of all the presenters for free.)

We got a lot of follow-up questions about a specific stock, Glenmark Pharma, so let's take a look and assess its absolute and relative trends.

In yesterday's Chart Summit, we presented our view on the major asset classes around the globe and noted what we need to see before getting bullish Equities again. (You can watch the full videos of all the presenters for free.)

Unfortunately, current conditions suggest continued volatility so we're looking for short setups to take advantage of it in the coming days/weeks.

Let's take a look at our broader thesis and what stocks and indexes we're shorting to express it in the market.

Since late March we've been watching to see how the counter-trend rally in stocks would develop...and while a few stocks under the surface continue to rally, the Nifty 50 remains stuck below its 2015-2016 highs and most stocks remain in downtrends.

A question we're getting a lot these days is when the market ultimately does bottom, do we want to be buying the stocks that have been hit the most or the ones that have held up the best during the market's fall?

As with most things in markets and in life, the answer is it depends. In this post, we'll explain why.

Earlier this week we discussed an indicator that uses the 200-day moving average to help identify a sustainable low in Indian Equities.

Today, we've got another indicator we're watching closely. Something we call the Breadth of Momentum measure here at All Star Charts.

Long-term Equity charts and breadth measures continue to suggest a defensive approach towards stocks remains appropriate.

With that said, if you're a trader taking advantage of this volatility then the following charts are those we'd watch to determine if the recent bounce can continue.

We've been talking a lot about our expectations for continued volatility and what conditions we'd need to be bullish stocks again.

In this post, we want to step back and see what some of the longer-term weekly and monthly charts are suggesting for stocks and the other major asset classes.

Here's the Nifty 50 which spent the last two years grinding slightly higher as momentum diverged negatively. So far this year, prices have fallen 40% and retraced 38.2% of their entire 2001-2019 rally...in three months. From a risk management perspective, bulls need to see 8,000 hold in the Nifty 50 or there is further downside risk towards 6,200.

Last week we outlined why the risk remains elevated in stocks and updated our forecast for continued volatility.

When markets go through periods of elevated volatility/stress, many market participants look to catch the exact bottom, but a better approach in our view is to buy on the way back up!

Last week we talked about some of the positives in the market...Copper holdings its low, Tech leadership, etc.

This week we're taking a look at why this rally is likely a dead cat bounce with some stats.

In this post, we're going to outline the inter-market signals we're watching for stocks next move...and why they suggest it's likely lower.

In our market view update, we outlined how we're approaching stocks after catching last week's 20% rally in the Nifty 50.

In this post, we want to share an intermarket signal that's suggesting a defensive posture remains best when approaching stocks as an asset class.

Last week we looked for a counter-trend rally in stocks and we got it. The Nifty 50 rallied 20% from its intra-week low to its intra-week high, leaving a lot market participants asking if Indian stocks are out of the woods.

In this post, we're outlining why our defensive stance remains and how we're approaching the weeks ahead.

This week, the US Dollar/Rupee pair hit our upside objective and evidence suggests a near-term pullback is likely.

In this post, we'll update our risk management levels and outline why the Rupee remains at risk longer-term.

This week we've outlined what we need to see from breadth, the Nifty 50 & Bank Index, and Copper in order to get long Indian stocks from any sort of intermediate or long-term perspective.

Although we've not seen those developments yet, US Stocks (S&P 500) is back above its December lows and other foreign indexes have started to catch a bid in the near-term. This subtle improvement is suggesting some trade opportunities could develop on the long side for those who hold positions for a few days to a week or two.
