SBI UPDATE

SBI is approaching a highly significant structural support zone right now, which sits firmly between 905 and 925 on cash.

This setup offers a phenomenal risk-to-reward ratio. The stock looks like a compelling buy at the current market price (CMP), and remains an absolute buy on any further pullbacks toward that 925 macro pocket. Near-term, we are anticipating a fast snapback with potential upside targets of 980 and 1,050 within just a few sessions. Looking at the larger cycle, this stock easily has the fuel to clock a fresh record high above 1,234—but we will cross that macro bridge down the line.

For now, our execution playbook is identical to what we perfectly executed with INFY: start pyramiding into positions right here, and scale in heavier as the price action flashes definitive bottoming signs. A sharp reversal feels entirely imminent.


The Tactical Blueprint

  • The Accumulation Zone: The 905–925 range is a major structural floor on the chart, making it the ideal spot for institutional demand to step back in.
  • The Scale-In Strategy: Don’t fire all your bullets at once. Establish your base here at CMP, and pyramid into the position as the intraday charts confirm the turn.
  • The Prize: Our immediate sights are set on 980, with a secondary target of 1,050 once the momentum shifts back into high gear.

The spring is coiling beautifully at key support—let’s watch the buyers step up and trigger the reversal.

ICICIBANK UPDATE

The Sleepwalking Giant: Why ICICI Bank is a Highly Calculated Risk Worth Taking

There are times when the market intentionally creates an environment of pure exhaustion to shake out weak hands, and ICICI Bank is currently a textbook case. Since forming a vital, macro-structural base at 1,187 back on April 2nd, the stock has quite literally done nothing. It has been locked in a tedious, horizontal sleepwalk that has tested everyone’s limits.

But when a market heavyweight completely stalls while maintaining its structural boundaries, it isn’t a sign of death—it’s a sign of a coiling spring. There is a beautifully defined asymmetric trade setting up here on the long side. If you have the required professional patience to sit out the sideways noise, the risk-to-reward ratio is absolutely pristine.


The Tactical Blueprint

We are setting up a high-conviction trade on cash, keeping the parameters clean and non-negotiable:

  • The Invalidation Point (Stop Loss): All long positions must be strictly protected with a closing stop loss below 1,171. If that structural floor cracks, the thesis shifts. Until then, the bulls are completely in control of the macro base.
  • The Primary Upside Target: Once the stock wakes up and clears the local accumulation clutter, the initial target is locked in at 1,270.
  • The Secondary Upside Target: If momentum gains cross-sector follow-through, the secondary positional target stands at 1,340 on cash.

The Patience Premium

Let’s be realistic: this trade is highly unlikely to give you instant gratification. It’s going to require a fair share of tactical patience to absorb the remaining consolidation days. However, the sheer math behind this setup—buying right against an established, multi-month floor with a tiny, risk-managed stop loss—makes it an exceptional asymmetric opportunity.

Let the retail crowd chase the late-stage breakout momentum elsewhere. Scale into this quietly, protect your downside at 1,171, and let the geometry do the heavy lifting over the coming weeks. Let’s see how the base resolves!

HDFCBANK UPDATE

Navigating the Fog: Decoding HDFC Bank’s Complex Bottoming Setup

Unlike its banking peers, HDFC Bank presents a slightly more complex and clouded setup right now. Looking purely at the current price action, we don’t quite have enough technical clarity to confidently stamp the recent low of 726 as the definitive, macro-structural bottom.

However, regardless of that minor ambiguity, the core timing cycles tell us one thing clearly: a significant tradeable bottom is heavily overdue here. Whether 726 holds as the final floor, or the stock decides to flush out weak hands with one final, brief lower low below 726, it is structurally bound to turn around and rip higher pretty soon.

Because we are hunting right near the absolute cycle low, the risk-to-reward ratio here is incredibly skewed in favor of the bulls. This makes it a phenomenal, low-risk entry window—not just for short-term swing traders, but for medium-term investors looking to build high-conviction positions.

The Tactical Blueprint

We are approaching this complex setup with a highly calculated, layered entry strategy to maximize safety while the bottom forms:

  • The Immediate Upside Targets: Once the reversal engine fires, we are expecting a high-velocity recovery targeting 775 initially, followed by a secondary target of 835 on cash.
  • The Time Horizon: This snapback is anticipated to unfold over the course of the next few sessions as the banking sector looks to shake off its recent sluggishness.
  • The Investment Edge: Buying structural value when the retail crowd is confused is exactly how asymmetric trades are built. The downside is tightly capped compared to the multi-point expansion potential on the upside.

The Bottom Line

Don’t let the near-term lack of clarity fool you into missing the larger picture. Whether the turn happens right here at current market price or requires one final sweep of liquidity below 726, HDFC Bank is coiled and searching for its launchpad. Scale in intelligently, expect the turnaround to be swift, and let’s see how the market resolves this bottom over the coming days!

Nifty IT: The Leadership Revival

Our view has been quietly and steadily constructive on Nifty IT since May 14th, and thankfully, the sector has been playing out beautifully. In fact, right on the heels of that call, we shared tactical long trades on Infosys (INFY) and Wipro on May 15th—both of which have now officially nailed their initial target objectives.

But if you think this move is done, think again. We are far from the finish line as far as Nifty IT is concerned. As I emphasized back on May 14th, this sector possesses incredible structural potential to lead the broader markets higher, and it is doing exactly that. IT leadership is officially back, and its role in lifting the entire index to its next leg is likely to unfold pretty soon.

The Immediate Roadmaps: INFY & Wipro

For the immediate term, both heavyweights are running hard toward their next major resistance zones. Once these levels are cleared, it opens up significant structural upside:

  • Infosys (INFY): Currently hammering against an important resistance level at 1,300. A clean, decisive cross above this opens the floodgates for a rally toward 1,360, and eventually 1,430 positionally.
  • Wipro: Facing its immediate line in the sand at 215. Once the buyers take out this hurdle, the stock is primed to test 230 and 242 positionally.

The Medium-Term Playbook

The broader takeaway here is all about strategy shift. Positionally, for the medium term, the entire IT pack has officially transitioned into a robust “buy on all dips” sector.

Any near-term cooling off or intraday pullbacks should no longer be feared; instead, they should be treated as classic accumulation windows. The sector has finally found its rhythm, the leadership is locked in, and the larger cycle is just starting to flex its muscles. Let’s see how they handle these immediate resistance levels over the next few sessions!

Nifty: Worth the Wait

The Testing Ground of Patience: Why Nifty’s Coiled Setup Is Worth the Wait

Trading has a brutal way of testing your conviction right before the biggest moves unfold. Right now, Nifty is struggling to find immediate follow-through on the upside, despite having all the favorable conditions lined up in its favor—whether you look at it from a time cycle perspective or a pure geometric standpoint.

Let’s be clear: this lack of instant gratification doesn’t make the setup bearish. Not at all. It’s just doing what the market does best—keeping you entirely on edge. This kind of environment demands an unusual amount of patience, the kind that only comes with a fair amount of experience and thick skin. In today’s age of information overload, where everyone is loud with conflicting opinions on the exact same chart, staying grounded is the ultimate trading skill. That noise is precisely what makes trading the most exciting job in the world, and at the exact same time, the most challenging.

Our core view remains unchanged: we have been structurally bullish, and we continue to stay the course despite the choppy, sideways intraday price action.

The Nifty Structure: A Contracting Triangle

When you look closely at Nifty spot, it has been compressing within a contracting triangle since its May 13th low.

  • The Downside Risk: With the way the price has developed over the last couple of sessions, a near-term risk has emerged for a temporary lower low below the May 13th intraday low of 23,263.
  • The Bullish Framework: Even if we print a brief lower low, it still fits perfectly well within the broader bullish structure that has been grinding higher since the April 2nd anchor low.
  • The Line in the Sand: On the downside, the crucial 1×1 geometric angle currently stands at 23,350 on a closing basis.
  • The Ultimate Targets: The macro rally toward 24,600 and 24,800 remains highly likely over the course of the next few sessions.

The Heavyweight Problem: Bank Nifty & Reliance

The real drag on Nifty recently has been the temporary lack of coordination from its main engines—Bank Nifty and Reliance.

  • Bank Nifty: The banking index is heading directly into an incredibly important turn date on June 2nd and June 3rd. Expect a major volatility cluster to resolve here.
  • Reliance: This heavyweight needs a decisive move above 1,365 to officially get back to its winning ways. I am personally holding long positions here, but the immediate momentum is undeniably missing right now. Let’s see if the buyers step up to lift the heavy weight.

The 6-Day Monthly Pattern

There is a fascinating historical pattern developing on Nifty’s monthly charts since December 2025. For the past several months, Nifty has printed its absolute monthly high or low within the first 6 calendar days of the month.

Because of this specific temporal tendency, this entire upcoming week is going to be exceptionally critical in defining the trend for the next 30 days. June is shaping up to be an extremely volatile and exciting month for our markets.

The Macro Triggers: Brent Crude & USD/INR

Outside of domestic equities, keep a very close eye on the macro front, as two massive triggers are lining up perfectly to fuel our equity thesis:

  • Brent Crude: Oil is hovering right on the edge and looks primed for a severe breakdown once it slips below 87.
  • USD/INR: The currency pair is looking heavily toppish. A clean print at 94.35 here could easily extend a sharp pullback down to 91.15 and 90.65 within a matter of weeks.

The Bottom Line

The market is intentionally making it uncomfortable to hold long positions, which is exactly how a textbook accumulation phase works before an explosive expansion. With the 6-day monthly pattern active this week, Bank Nifty hitting a critical turn date tomorrow, and macro tailwinds like crashing oil on the horizon, the coiling spring is about to release its energy. Stick to the levels, ignore the retail noise, and let the geometry do the heavy lifting. June is going to be a defining month—let’s see how the first real breakout velocity triggers.

Patience Pays Off: Decoding the Structural Resurgence in TMPV

Our view on TMPV has been quietly constructive for a while now, especially since we first shared the setup with subscribers back on April 21st. Admittedly, the stock lost its initial momentum shortly after that and slipped into a tedious sideways consolidation—though it always maintained a healthy, bullish underline beneath the surface.

The good news is that the patience is paying off. Over the past few sessions, TMPV has gotten firmly back on track, and today it’s aggressively approaching that primary target of 388.

The Bigger Picture: 388 is Just the Beginning

While 388 is the immediate milestone we’ve been waiting for, it’s important to look at the broader horizon. As I’ve mentioned before, this stock is heading much, much higher from here over the longer term.

  • The Consolidation Base: The weeks spent going sideways weren’t wasted time; they served as a strong accumulation zone, building the necessary fuel for a sustained rally.
  • The Primary Target: We are on the cusp of hitting 388 today, which validates the structural breakout we’ve been tracking.
  • The Upside Potential: Once 388 is cleanly taken out and secured, it opens up the next major trending legs of this cycle.

The Strategy

When a stock breaks out of a long sideways grind and hits its primary target, it’s a moment to observe strength, not panic. We want to see how it handles the 388 zone today. If it clears it with strong volume, it confirms that the larger macro move is officially underway.

It’s going to be highly interesting to see how the price action closes out today. The underlying structure is beautiful—let’s see how far this momentum carries us.

Time, Geometry, and Crude: Why Nifty’s Next Big Move is Locked and Loaded

Since my last update on May 20th, Nifty has been behaving beautifully and organically. It first checked the right boxes by securing a daily close above its 1×1 angle, gradually picked up momentum from there, and today, it hit our primary spot target of 23,930 right on the nose.

Frankly, the move is a tad slower than I originally anticipated, but there are absolutely no questions here about the validity of this bullish trend or its trajectory. Nifty is comfortably placed right now.

The Equities Roadmap: Eyeing the April Top

Based on Nifty’s current geometry, it’s really only a matter of time before that major April peak of 24,600 is taken out. On the time cycle front, the index keeps printing a textbook sequence of higher highs and higher lows, which is a structural green light for us.

  • The Next Hurdles: A clean daily close above 23,930 officially opens up our next targets at 24,150 and 24,600. I expect that 24,600 top to be challenged within the next few sessions.
  • The Sectoral Fuel: While Nifty builds momentum, Bank Nifty is the index that stole the show today, staging a powerful breakout from its consolidation. With Nifty IT and Reliance expected to participate next, we are looking at a very strong, highly coordinated trending move going forward.

Crude Oil: The 10% Blueprint Delivers Again

Away from equities, our macro thesis on Brent Crude continues to work like clockwork. For the sixth time since this war began, our strategy has delivered a clean 10%+ profit run—shorting near 110 and exiting near 95 has honestly become an incredibly reliable trade for us.

  • The Near-Term Floor: Going forward, we are watching the 89 to 87 zone on Brent very closely.
  • The Macro Trigger: A break below 87 opens up 78 and eventually 66, which have been my ultimate downside targets.
  • The Big Picture: I firmly believe the best trade of this cycle is yet to be delivered, and it could take us all the way to 66. Watch this space closely, because that isn’t just an oil trade—it’s a massive macro trigger that will provide an immense tailwind for the broader stock market.

The Next Temporal Windows

While the daily grind can sometimes feel a bit slow, the underlying geometry warns us to stay sharp. Our next critical time cycle dates are coming up fast on May 29th and June 1st.

Expect some sharp, high-velocity price moves to unfold on these dates. Keep your levels marked, stick to the plan, and let’s see how this next sequence locks into place.

The Waiting Game is Ending: Mapping Nifty’s High-Velocity Window

The market is playing a classic game of patience right now, taking its own sweet time to resume the move higher. But honestly, this whole sideways consolidation is rapidly reaching a boiling point. Starting tomorrow, a definitive resolution on either side feels almost certain because we are heading into an incredibly powerful cluster of cycle dates: May 21st, May 22nd, and May 25th.

The Price Map: Keeping the Bullish Framework Intact

Technically, the price action gives us a very clear map to manage our risk without panicking:

  • The Immediate Floor: The May 13th low of 23,263 is a solid support level that perfectly satisfies a standard pullback termination point.
  • The Safety Net: Even if 23,263 cracks, a secondary slide down to 23,100 still keeps the broader structure firmly within a bullish framework.
  • The Upside Targets: Once the momentum kicks in, we are tracking a test of 23,930, followed by 24,150, and ultimately 24,600.

The Geometric Trigger: When Time and Price Align

What makes tomorrow particularly fascinating isn’t just the price levels—it’s how the underlying geometry is lining up:

  • The 1×1 Battleground: The all-important 1×1 angle for Nifty has now dropped to 23,653. Securing a close above this number is going to massively strengthen our bullish case.
  • The 135-Day Count: Tomorrow marks exactly 135 days from the January 5th top. In geometric terms, this adds a whole new layer of intrigue because the time cycles are becoming aggressively active right here.

The Takeaway

We are entering a highly critical technical window where time and price are perfectly intersecting. The market has spent days coiling tight, and the resolution starting tomorrow should bring some serious velocity. There are plenty of things that need to fall into place, but it’s going to be an incredible sequence to watch unfold. Very important times ahead—let’s see how it plays out.
