Of Crash in Bitcoin, Correction in MidCap and SmallCap Indices and Top Stocks in Action Today
Wed, 17 Jan Pre-Open

Correction in the BSE MidCap and SmallCap Indices

The past year has seen the BSE MidCap and BSE SmallCap indices surging by 43.1% and 57.1% respectively. Taking a two year view these indices have produced mind-boggling return of 75.3% and 85.9% respectively.

This sharp run-up saw a decent correction yesterday as the MidCap and SmallCap index corrected by 1.7% and 2.2% respectively. Stocks such as National Aluminum Co, Federal Bank, IDFC Bank corrected by 7.9%, 7.5% and 6.4% respectively.

So, is the party in these indices nearing its end? The answer to this is not that simple. These indices have surged largely on the back of a hope rally. A strong recovery in the earnings would help sustain the expensive valuations at which these indices are trading currently. Provided the earnings do not recover, a crash like the one which we saw yesterday cannot be ruled out.

Bitcoin Crashes to Level Below US$ 12,000

Bitcoin is crashing and it has fallen to levels below US$ 12,000. The cryptocurrency has lost almost 40% of its value since Mid-December when it was trading at US$ 20,000.

The crash was mainly on the back of a news that South Korea is considering banning the trading of cryptocurrencies.
