Nifty What ifs? it is 2004 again / seats are close to 400. Last phases of election are going on the result will be declared on 4th June the talk of the town is what will happen to Nifty if election is won by someone who is expected to win the general elections in India and what will happen if the results are unexpected. We can not predict elections and we can not predict how the Nifty will behave but certainly the charts which are representations of human emotions tell us a story and give us projections which we have seen are very close to being accurate. We have taken the help of Fibonacci retracement and parallel channel to help us understand where human emotions can lead Nifty to.
Scenario 1) 2004 (History repeats itself)(Thunder seldom strikes twice in the same place but what if?)
Let us talk about unexpected scenario like what happened in 2004. In this case market will definitely market will take a hit. The support levels for Nifty in such a case will be 20391. 20391 happens to be our channel bottom additionally it is also a Fibonacci support.
If the Nifty falls below 20391 which it potentially can as investor emotions rather than valuations will take precedence the next support will be at 18688. In case 18688 will not hold (which is unlikely) worst case scenario as of now is Mother line support 50 Months EMA is at 17358. (This is what chart tells me as of now). In case of hung parliament / policy paralysis / War like situation at border and major internal strife Nifty may even fall to 15471.)
In short there will be a lot of wealth erosion initially but nevertheless market will stabilize and upward journey will definitely begin once again if the euphoria of loss settles down. As companies will adjust / adapt and keep performing. The show will go on. When Trump lost US experts were saying that US market will have a free fall but against all odds US markets saw new highs in Biden term. Always remember that markets are unpredictable.
Scenario 2) Seats are close to 350 or 400.
The Euphoria and mad valuations in some stock might continue for a while but surely there will be Profit Booking fall sooner than later. The Major Nifty Resistance is near 23608 which also happens to be a mid channel resistance. That can be a potential point of profit booking. If we get a closing above 23608 which is less likely in near term, but you never say never. Or whenever in future we get a closing above 23608. This will open the doors for long term target of 27K. In 4/5 years time the best case scenario seems to be Nifty between 27 and 30K.
Scenario 3) Seats are between 250 and 300. It will be victory or close to victory nevertheless it has potential to damage emotions of the investors and profit booking cycle can begin right then and there. 21376 or 20391 is possible even in such a scenario. Eventually when dust will settle and valuations are affordable again Nifty will restart it's journey towards 23608 in this case.
I hope that the above Technical analysis will help you in bracing yourself for impact on D-day that is 4th June. Even if the landing is going to be smooth airlines always asks us to wear seat belts. In cars also we wear seat belts for safety. On bike we are supposed to wear helmets. What are all these equipment for? Safety.
Safety mechanism of Stock market is Stop loss and Trailing stop loss. Keep them in a proper place whether it is scenario 1, 2 or 3. It will save you in case of scenario 1 or 3. Incase it is scenario 2 some of your stop losses may be hit and then the stock will run upward but remember it will be loss in profit. Loss in profit is better than loss. No one in the world has become a pauper by keeping stop losses.
