From Pause to Pop: Missed It or Mined It?
Defense, Fertilisers & Railways - the stealth movers of the week.
Hey Traders,
Here’s a quick rundown of how the markets played out this week, and some key takeaways from our desk 👇
🔹 Monday: Ceasefire Rally
◦ Markets opened with a gap-up.
◦ Pakistan index soared 9%+, lifting sentiment across regions.
◦ Momentum flowed broadly.
🔹 Tuesday: Trap Day
◦ A gap-down; every bounce got sold into.
◦ Yet, stocks showed resilience. Notables: VM_, AP_LLO stood out.
◦ Scanned ~700 stocks EOD - legwork that pays dividends.
🔹 Wednesday: Trend Continuation
◦ Market moved in the direction of the previous gap - UP.
◦ A mini "Defence Day": While we didn't catch the whole sectoral move, intra opportunities were rich.
◦ Early entries in WA_RE_ENER, ACM_SOL_R, TFC_LTD
◦ Scanned another 770 stocks EOD.
🔹 Thursday: Split Personality
◦ Morning session: Random spikes, little rhythm.
◦ Afternoon session: One-sided index rally - premiums exploded (10x to 200x moves).
◦ Fertiliser sector emerged: Took positions in NF_, added JBM_
🔹 Friday: Sector Showstopper
◦ Defence names surged again, this time alongside railways.
◦ Caught RVN_ early - a clean 15R+ intraday setup.
◦ Index remained sideways, but the stock-specific action was too good to miss in leading sectors.
⦿ A Note on Sectoral Moves
Many traders missed out on the defence & fertiliser rally this week.
Let’s break down how we track sector momentum using our core framework:
✔ Relative Strength
✔ Key Moving Averages
✔ Volume Expansion on Up Days
✔ Sector-Wide Participation
✔ Top Stocks Hitting New Highs
⚠️ Interestingly, neither fertilisers nor railways ticked all the boxes.
Lacked strong RS & clean MA structure
But showed unusual volumes and broad-based participation
Lesson?
👉 If you scan daily, log patterns, and show up consistently, you will spot these early.
It's not about being perfect, it’s about being present.
⦿ Intraday Movers: Train Your Eyes
Don’t copy trades. Copy the process, the mindset, the discipline.
That’s where the real edge lies.
⦿ Market Outlook: A Breather Ahead?
NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, and FINNIFTY are all forming 3-week-long bases - signs of consolidation.
A sharp fall seems unlikely, but we could see a pause or range-bound action before the next move.
⦿ Final Thoughts
This week was a perfect reminder that the market rewards preparation, not prediction.
From unexpected sector surges to intraday setups offering clean entries, the opportunities were there, but only visible to those who consistently scan, study, and stay sharp.
You don’t need to catch every move.
You just need to be present, process the price action, and act when the odds align.
📌 Show up. Do the work. Trust the process!
⦿ Quote of the Week
“The market doesn’t shout opportunities; it whispers them to those who show up every day.”
