Alpha India – The Auto Stagnation

1) The auto is an outperforming sector. But just because a sector is outperforming does not mean it would top and reverse.
2) There is a need to look at the sector on a stock specific basis.
3) Moreover underperformance does not mean only a net fall; it can also mean stagnation, a sideways action. Out of 16 auto components we have studied here, 12 of them have delivered less than 10% over the last 3 months.
4) Where does our Jiseki stand? Jiseki filtering system along with other price filters confirms this stagnation. Only 3 of the stocks are running a total positive with more than 10% returns. Two stocks Exide and Hero Motors are running a total negative. And rest 11 stocks are non-confirming.
5) This is where we come to another aspect of stagnation. A sideways stagnation which does not push prices net lower can be considered consolidation, which would lead to a continuation of previous trend. Out of the 8 technical charts we have reviewed, 3 stocks are testing key resistances and 5 are testing key multi-year supports.
Jiseki Interpretation. Signals are interpreted as crossovers between various Jiseki Cycles. All three Jiseki cycles (Jiseki 1,2 and 3) depict different time frames. Example: An asset is ranked above 80 percentile and all the three Jiseki cycles are pointing lower, this suggests a running SHORT SIGNAL. Our Jiseki Indices use different kind of exits based on price and Jiseki Cycles. We have color coded the (Jiseki 1>Jiseki 2) SHORT zones with brown sandy (burlywood) and grey (Jiseki 1>Jiseki2) for LONG SIGNALS.
