Adapting to Market Volatility: Best Practices for Swing Trading and Futures Trading in India

The Indian stock market has recently experienced increased volatility, influenced by factors such as inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions. For traders, especially those engaged in swing trading and futures trading in India, adapting to these fluctuations is crucial. This blog outlines best practices to navigate the current market landscape effectively. Understanding Market Volatility Market volatility refers to the rapid and significant price movements in the stock market. In 2025, heightened volatility has been observed due to various global economic factors. Traders must recognize that such environments require refined strategies and disciplined approaches. Best Practices for Swing Trading in Volatile Markets 1. Utilize Technical Indicators Incorporate indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to identify potential entry and exit points. These tools help in assessing market momentum and overbought or oversold conditions. 2. Set Strict Stop-Loss Orders Given the unpredictable nature of volatile markets, implementing stop-loss orders is essential to limit potential losses. This practice ensures that emotions do not dictate trading decisions. 3. Focus on High-Quality Stocks Prioritize stocks with strong fundamentals, as they are more likely to withstand market turbulence. Companies with robust balance sheets and consistent earnings growth offer more stability. Best Practices for Futures Trading in India 1. Understand Margin Requirements Futures trading margin requirements in India play a crucial role in trading strategies. Ensure you have sufficient capital to meet potential margin calls. 2. Stay Informed on Economic Indicators Economic data releases can significantly impact Nifty futures trading and MCX trading strategies. Regularly monitor indicators such as GDP growth rates, inflation data, and employment figures. 3. Diversify Your Portfolio Avoid overexposure to a single asset class. Diversification across various sectors can mitigate risks associated with market volatility. Conclusion Navigating volatile markets requires a combination of technical analysis, disciplined risk management, and continuous education. By implementing these best swing trading strategies in India, traders can enhance their chances of achieving consistent profitability, even in uncertain times.

Oil Prices Drop for Third Straight Session Amid Supply Increases and Trade War Concerns – Impact on Trading in Commodities

Blogs, Commodity

Oil prices continued their downward trend for the third consecutive session on Wednesday as concerns over rising global supply and U.S. trade tariffs weighed on market sentiment. This decline presents crucial insights for those trading in commodities, as geopolitical and economic factors continue to impact oil demand and pricing. Oil Price Decline and Market ReactionsBrent crude futures slipped by $0.24 (0.3%) to $70.80 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped $0.58 (0.9%) to $67.68 per barrel at 0500 GMT. These price movements follow settlements at multi-month lows in the previous session. “Unfavorable supply-demand dynamics have created a double whammy, with tariff uncertainties posing downside risks to global growth and, in turn, oil demand,” said Yeap Jun Rong, market strategist at IG. Additionally, optimism regarding a potential resolution of the Ukraine-Russia conflict could lead to increased Russian oil supply, further affecting the market outlook for those involved in trading in commodities. OPEC+ Supply Increase and Its ImpactOPEC+ (The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia) recently announced an increase in crude oil production, marking the first such decision since 2022. The group will raise output by 138,000 barrels per day from April, as part of a larger effort to unwind its 6 million bpd production cuts—equivalent to nearly 6% of global oil demand. This move could create oversupply concerns, affecting oil traders and investors navigating the commodity trading landscape.U.S. Tariffs and Their Effect on Oil DemandFresh U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China are adding to concerns over slowing economic growth and declining fuel consumption:A 25% tariff on all imports from MexicoA 10% tariff on Canadian energyDoubled duties on Chinese goods (now at 20%)These tariffs, introduced by the Trump administration, could slow global economic growth, potentially reducing oil demand in the world’s largest crude consumer, the U.S.. Moreover, the U.S. government revoked a license granted to Chevron since 2022 to operate in Venezuela, jeopardizing 200,000 barrels per day of supply. This could lead U.S. refiners to seek alternative heavy crude sources, even as Canadian and Mexican oil imports now face higher tariffs. Impact on Crude Oil InventoriesDespite bearish sentiment, U.S. crude inventories fell by 1.46 million barrels in the week ending February 28, according to the American Petroleum Institute (API). Official government data on U.S. stockpiles is expected later on Wednesday, which could provide additional insight for those trading in commodities. Key Takeaways for Commodity TradersRising OPEC+ supply may exert downward pressure on oil prices.U.S. tariffs on key trading partners could slow economic growth and lower fuel demand.Geopolitical shifts, such as the Venezuela oil ban, may disrupt supply chains.Crude stockpile data remains a crucial factor influencing oil price movements.For those trading in commodities, understanding these dynamics is essential to making informed investment decisions in the oil market. Keep an eye on supply-demand shifts, trade policies, and global economic indicators to navigate this volatile trading environment effectively.

Railway Stocks and IRFC.NSE / IRFC

Commodity, Research

This one stock has probably made many some good amount of money(including our clients and myself) and has given many the worst feeling one can have in the market; the F.O.M.O. Yes, The Fear Of Missing Out is one decision that brings in regret which is not addressed in even behavioral finance and at the same time, FOMO overshadows logic and pressurizes people to take a decision which is not rational. At least at that point in time. Anyway, coming back to our stock, The IRFC has given a breakout (as it has been giving month after month), and the recent one is just a bit fresh. Our analysis in the chart below depicts the same and obviously states the point: Is it that simple? Three things to notice, and we’ ‘ll share that with you. 1 – Price – The price moves up, but before moving up, it gives a breakout. We can call it 10 Day/20 Day or 52 Week or ATH breakout. But, the point here is that price retraces to all these barriers pretty quickly after a good consolidation and begins a new trajectory. The classic characteristic of a Trend following stock. 2 – ADX – In a trending stock, ADX crossing above 25 on a rolling basis is one event that makes it attractive (and this is a daily chart; on a weekly basis, it’s all different scenarios). Whenever it passes above 25 and the price breaks either of the barriers, it sustains above the 25 level for a sustained period of time, indicating the high velocity in the underlying trend. 3 – Gaps – Notice that recently and in the past, A gap is usually seen, and price indicates that this void is a function of some activity, which may be volume, some news, or whatever Eeny, meeny, miny, moe we can attribute it. A gap on a breakout is definitely a signal that we should keep a close watch on. Yes. I know. The Volume, The moving average, and all I can put in the chart, make it more fancy, and add more indicators is not our cup of tea. From here, IRFC may turn out to be in three digits ( No Not 100), which may be beyond that and it is definitely a stock worth keeping in the watchlist. Recent Support at 91 – 92 provides a Valid Stop for an upside momentum. #irfc #trading #nifty50 #railwaystocks

Narayana Hrudayalaya – 20% Upside?

Commodity, Research

NH is retracing for a Dip further to extend the bullish rally to the new ATH. The chart structure is a classic example of how stock consolidates and moves out to break and how previous resistance becomes support. After the breakout from a rectangular pattern, the stock rallied towards 1,300 odd levels and, at present, is undergoing a correction, which is forming a flag pattern. The flag is a short-term continuation pattern widely traded and observed by traders and short-term investors. This pattern allows entering an upward-trending stock at a reasonably favourable price with lower risk. The Volumes display classic behavior as they continue to deteriorate throughout the pattern, but a recent surge is seen as we observe a partial fill. A partial fill usually indicates the direction of the eventual breakout. The midterm 50 Days Moving average continues to slope up, indicating the overall trend is positive, while contraction of 20 and 50 MA indicates the stock has strong support in the zone of 1130 – 1150. Lastly, This level coincides with the previous Top of the rectangle pattern at the 1132 level. Hence, the previous resistance acts as a support, an inflection point. All this evidence suggests that short-term to mid-term investors and traders must keep a close watch on NH, which must be on your watchlist. We recommend a Buy on NH at 1180 – 1150 levels for an upside to 1280 and a further 1496 (0.75x of Pole). Stops for this position can be kept at 1120 on a closing basis; hence, the R: R is 2X and is much more favorable in the mid-term. Happy InvestingFinversify

The #Paytm Saga – When Geniuses failed

Research

Paytm, the leading Fintech, has been a case for mass destruction despite as a product; it is no doubt that the Founder of Paytm, Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s view, was ahead of time. But interestingly, the stock has been eye candy for traders and investors who always look to pull the trigger on this stock. Be it short-term trading due to some event or news or long-term investing based on its future growth story as a significant player in the fintech space. It has been a dubious case. Cut to the chase: It is a case study for many and some simple logic (obviously, hindsight bias ). The basic rule/logic or brainstorming- What Happens when the major investor in a Fintech exists just a Year(Trading Days) from the share price listing? The stock was listed on 18 Nov 21, and Softbank trimmed its stake on 11 May 2023. Additionally, Softbank trimmed another 2%, which was completed on 24 January 2024! is just about time. “Are Jab Investor hi sure nahi hai to retail investors ko itna kyu pump kar rahe hai sab Buy karne ke liye??Look at the image below! BoFA, GS etc aur pata nahi kaun kaun! To add insult to injury, Warren Buffet, The Living God of Investing(Omaha) Exited the business with a 600 Cr Loss! Investors should ask – “To Phir, retail kyu buy kar rahe the!? Lastly, Sir Dr A Velumani, who created multi-billion dollar Thyrocare, is also stuck with 1400 Crore and lost. I admire him for his work, but this also shows that even genius failed in this whole saga. Anyhow. The comments from the RBI are serious. It is pretty apparent another major player will soon acquire the company. (Ambani-Adani) Remember – The fine line between short-term trader and long-term investor is – Stoploss.Finversify

Nifty50 Outlook

Research

Nifty – The Upward momentum intact unless.. let’s be straight and come to the facts. 1 – Nifty has strong support at 22200. This is the previous all-time high, The Support trendline drawn from lows of 24-1-24 coincides with this level too. 2 – RSI divergence is quite obvious but this is a case of classic double divergence. Keep an Eye if RSI breaks the level of 50. 3 – ADX Well below 15 mark shows a sluggish sideways market, hence anyone ( the bull or bear) can capitalize on this. Though in an uptrend “Unless” the 22200 is taken out, it should be bulls.4 -Market breadth looks weak, not just deteriorating, cause the % of Stocks above key short and mid-term MA looks sliding down. Not a good sight in a bull market. We believe these levers are important and just by following this, we can at least understand if the market is going to continue to move upwards or if we are in for a short break. #stockmarketsindia, #nifty50, #stockmarketcrash Research DeskFinversify

CNXSMALLCAP & MIDCAP – Chart Analysis

Research

So it all boils down to simple method for trend identification. A bullish rally setup which has been making higher high and higher lows has breached its previous higher low indicating we are in for some sideways to corrective phase. A new lower low indicate impending correction, but, till what levels? Another approach in technical analysis teaches us – “previous resistance become support and support become resistance”. Going forward, CNXSMALLCAP may correct towards lower levels of 13000 – 12100, which is a12-19% correction. It is located at its ATH of 2023 – 2022. We can see similar setup in CNXMIDCAP but below 12%, pain is much higher in terms of price. All we can be is to stay cautious. Be very selective in approaching stocks as they will move and rally but not in a frenzy which we have seen in past few months. Research DeskFinversify

Curefoods Gears Up for IPO Amidst Rapid Growth and Market Expansion

Blogs, Commodity

Curefoods, a cloud kitchen startup founded in 2020 by former Flipkart executive Ankit Nagori, is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) as it seeks to raise capital and expand its operations. The company is currently in discussions with investment banks and legal firms to manage the IPO process, with plans to raise between $300 million and $400 million through the offering. While the IPO is tentatively scheduled for the latter half of the fiscal year beginning in April 2025, the final size of the offering will depend on the extent of secondary share sales by existing investors. This move comes at a time when market interest in new-age tech-driven startups is on the rise, creating a favorable environment for companies looking to go public. Since its inception, Curefoods has rapidly grown into a major player in India’s cloud kitchen space, operating over 500 cloud kitchens and offline stores across 40 cities. The company has built a diverse portfolio of food brands catering to a variety of customer preferences, leveraging both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. It has aggressively expanded its business by acquiring well-known brands, including Frozen Bottle, and recently announced a deal to acquire Krispy Kreme’s operations in South and West India. Along with these acquisitions, Curefoods manages multiple food brands such as EatFit, CakeZone, Nomad Pizza, Sharief Bhai Biryani, and Frozen Bottle, creating a broad and diverse customer base across various food categories. The financial trajectory of Curefoods reflects significant growth, with its consolidated revenue for FY24 reaching ₹585 crore, marking a 53% increase compared to the previous fiscal year. This strong revenue growth aligns with the company’s long-term strategy of scaling its presence across India and strengthening its brand portfolio. According to company filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Curefoods is projecting an annual revenue run-rate of approximately ₹1,000 crore by the end of FY25. However, despite substantial revenue gains, the company is yet to achieve profitability. Curefoods reported a consolidated loss of ₹172.6 crore in FY24, a significant improvement from the ₹342.7 crore loss recorded in the previous fiscal year. This represents a 49.64% reduction in net losses, indicating that the company is making progress in its efforts to improve financial efficiency. Alongside the reduction in losses, Curefoods reported a 53.17% increase in operating revenue, underscoring its ability to scale operations while improving financial stability. The startup has attracted investment from several high-profile venture capital firms, including Accel, Iron Pillar, and Chiratae Ventures. In March of the previous year, Curefoods secured INR 300 crore (approximately $36 million) in funding from Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal’s Three State Ventures. This round included a combination of primary and secondary equity as well as debt financing, strengthening Curefoods’ financial position ahead of its public listing. The company’s ability to attract substantial investment from seasoned investors highlights its potential as a strong contender in the food-tech and cloud kitchen space, an industry that continues to experience high demand as consumer behavior shifts towards convenient, delivery-based dining experiences. Curefoods’ IPO plans align with a broader trend in India’s startup ecosystem, as several high-growth companies prepare to go public in 2025. At least 20 startups are expected to launch IPOs that year, reflecting a renewed investor interest in new-age technology-driven businesses. Some of the notable startups considering public listings in 2025 include Ather Energy, Fractal, ArisInfra, Ecom Express, Zepto, BlueStone, and Smartworks. Additionally, several other major companies such as InMobi, Lenskart, Groww, Zetwerk, OfBusiness, and Pine Labs are preparing for mega IPOs, signaling strong momentum in India’s public markets. Curefoods’ entry into the stock market is expected to draw significant attention from investors, particularly those looking for exposure to the rapidly expanding cloud kitchen and food-tech sector. With a strong portfolio of brands, strategic acquisitions, and a steadily improving financial position, the company is positioning itself for long-term success. However, as with any IPO, investors will closely evaluate key factors such as profitability timelines, market competition, and the overall sustainability of its business model before making investment decisions. While Curefoods’ growth trajectory is promising, the food industry remains competitive, requiring continuous innovation and efficient operational management to maintain its momentum in the evolving market. As the company gears up for its IPO, the market will be watching closely to see how Curefoods navigates the transition from a venture-backed startup to a publicly traded company. The success of the IPO will not only impact its own future but could also influence investor sentiment toward other upcoming startup listings. If Curefoods manages to execute its strategy effectively and demonstrate a clear path to profitability, it could pave the way for further investments in India’s burgeoning cloud kitchen and food delivery industry. With strong financial backing, a growing brand portfolio, and a market ripe for expansion, Curefoods is set to play a key role in shaping the future of India’s food-tech landscape.
