January 22 Market Overview for Long-Term Investors: Volatility and Opportunities
This is a detailed analysis of the market on January 22, 2021, focusing on the implications for long-term investors and providing insights into the strategies they can adopt to navigate market volatility.
Market Overview and Investor Perspective
As a long-term investor, my view on market fluctuations is that they are not a necessity for wealth creation. My belief is that true wealth is accumulated over 12 to 15 years, and not in the short term. This perspective allows me to invest monthly in SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) form, regardless of whether the market is showing gains or losses.
January 22, 2021, Market View:
The market on January 22 had a sideways movement with a negative bias. According to prevailing sentiments, the market could remain unchanged, or even close positively, if it receives strong support from Foreign Institutional Investors (FII).
Market Performance and Sectors
Market Movements: At the opening, there was a gap up, touching historical highs and crossing the psychological level of 16,000 levels. However, the second half of the day saw negative news which caused a decline. The positive global sentiment indicates a continuation of the upward trend in the stock market, but investors are advised to buy on dips and regularly book profits as the market remains volatile.
Indicators and Strategies:
- The Nifty’s performance today was positive, with continued positive sentiment in both domestic and global markets. However, the SELL-AT-HIGH transaction by the end of the week dragged it below 14,600 levels, causing a correction of over 100 points. The formation of a long bearish candle suggests potential further corrections in Nifty, as there are no more positive news to drive the index into a bullish trend.
- A major factor determining the global markets’ future trend is the official swearing-in ceremony of Joe Biden, which marked the end of the Trump era. This event is expected to have a positive impact on global markets, which might resume the bull market movement post-COVID vaccine announcements.
- With the budget conversation inching closer, financial markets are closely monitoring global trends. The US markets are significantly up, with the NASDAQ up by over 220 points (1.67%), and the SGX Nifty is slightly up by 10 points. These factors collectively indicate that the dip in Nifty witnessed last week was just a minor profit booking, not a major trend reversal, as the high has already been broken, confirming a bull market.
- The immediate support level for Nifty is around 14,600, followed by 14,475. Below these levels, further waves of selling can be expected. On the upside, 14,700 and 15,000 levels have significant open interest, indicating a lack of upper limitations at this time.
