Namaste!
India VIX is a volatility index based on the NIFTY Index Option prices. From the best bid-ask prices of NIFTY Options contracts, a volatility figure (%) is calculated which indicates the expected market volatility over the next 30 calendar days.
In simple words, it tells us the % market is expecting Nifty to move (whether up or down) in the upcoming 30 calendar days.
India VIX chart analysis:-
You must have noticed that each time VIX touch 10-11% levels, it bounces off. Did you ever think what is the annual average return of Nifty 50?
Well, it's around 12%. Don't forget, Nifty also has yearly dividend yield of around 1%, so the total becomes:-
India VIX support = 11%
Dividend yield of Nifty = 1%, total 12%.
I agree, the upper statement sounds non-sense, but in simple terms, it feels logical to me. VIX has to come down, for the Nifty to go up. In other words, we should be ready for a correction in Nifty, until the VIX touches 11% levels.
India VIX goes in the opposite direction than Nifty 50.
Why? Because, the long term trend of the Nifty is up. Hence, VIX will only rise, when there is a shift (expectation) to the downside.
Nifty50 chart analysis:-
1. Nifty has hit the strong weekly trendline resistance, this is the 4th time. I am expecting at least 1 more corrective rally on the downside, which makes it a 5 time resistance. The 5 number is based on the recent history of Nifty 50. Since 2016 to 2020, there were 5 supports, and 5 resistance in the same period.
2. ADX (Average Direction Index) is hovering around 22 points and sloping downwards. It generally means, the market isn't liking the short term uptrend, if it could, then ADX must rise.
Q: When the next correction starts, will all the stocks in the Nifty 50 fall?
A: No, but a small yes. All stocks will correct, but the overvalued will correct more.
Q: Should I wait for the correction to invest in?
A: Nope. You should start investing now, because many stocks in the Nifty 50 has been become undervalued due to this correction (like the IT sector except TCS). Choose them wisely. I don't recommend investing in more than 10 companies of the Nifty 50. Obviously, you should not concentrate your portfolio in any of the sectors, but diverse in the companies and sectors whose business you understand.
