It's Make or Break Time for the Auto Index

Oct 12, 2022

After outperforming for four straight months between May-August 2022 against the Nifty50 index, the auto index lost its momentum in September. The weakness carried over in the downtrend of October too.

That brings us to the question - Are the bulls tired?

The auto index has corrected over 8% from its all-time high of 13,421. It's currently hovering in the range of 12,300-13,000.

The momentum seems exhaustive on the weekly timeframe. This is because markets have corrected from 18,000 levels to 17,000 levels on the Nifty50.

The Trader's Opportunity

On the 2-hour chart, the auto index is trading in a rising megaphone pattern.

Nifty Auto Index Technical Chart

 

The low of 12,459 and the reversal in the momentum signals the bulls are grabbing the opportunity.

But for how long?

The falling trendline and bearish bar (marked in red) resistance at 12,725 is a must-break level for the bulls if the index is to head higher towards 13,000+ levels. If not then the bears will take the lead on the break of 12,400.

Traders should grab the opportunity on the range break of 12,400-12,730.

At present, the auto index is trading higher by 0.4% at 12,500 levels.

From the index, M&M, and Escorts Kubota are the top gainers.
