BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a security analysis discipline for forecasting the future direction of
prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume.

General Description
Technical analysts seek to identify price patterns and trends in financial markets and attempt
to exploit those patterns. While technicians use various methods and tools, the study of price
charts is primary

Technical analysis also extensively uses indicators, which are typically mathematical
transformations of price or volume. These indicators are used to help determine whether an
asset is trending, and if it is, its price direction. Technicians also look for relationships
between prices, volume and, in the case of futures, open interest. Examples include the
relative strength index, and MACD. Other avenues of study include correlations between
changes in options (implied volatility) and put/call ratios with price. Other technicians
include sentiment indicators, such as Put/Call ratios and Implied. Volatility is there in
analysis.

Technicians seek to forecast price movements such that large gains from successful trades
exceed more numerous but smaller losing trades, producing positive returns in the long run
through proper risk control and money management.

The technical analysis look at the price movement that occur on day to day or week to week
or over the other constant tie period displayed in graphic from, called charts. For the purpose
of the study on commodities (Gold, Silver, Crude oil and Zinc) have been selected which is
listed in Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The technical analysis was done by using
Oscillator tools like Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (MACD), Relative
Strength Index (RSI), Bollinger Band, Rate of change, Double Average, Candlestick, Pivot
Study and Stochastic.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Technical analysis is very important to invest smartly. Every investor would like to
have handful information to direction of price movement.

 On what type of security to invest?


 When it should be bought?
 When it should be sold?
 Whether to hold the security?

The basic idea behind the research is to make buy, hold and sell decisions of stocks.
To make this decision one should have sound information base. The increasing trend
towards complexity in investment decisions calls for security analysis.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

 To study the applicability of technical analysis of the commodity market.


 To know how various tools of technical analysis such as charts and graphs are
used for determining stock prices.
 To make buy, hold or sell decisions.
 To know how to use charting techniques to identify, buy and sell opportunities.
 To study the Indian commodity movements taking Gold, Silver, Zinc and Crude
Oil.

1. LITERATURE REVIEW

Several studies have been carried out to apply Technical Analysis in practice in various
financial markets. A few of them are quoted below:
Kavajecz and Odders -White (2004) show that support and resistance levels coincide with
peaks in depth on the limit order book 1 and moving average forecasts reveal information
about the relative position of depth on the book. They also show that these relationships stem
from technical rules locating depth already in place on the limit order book. Practitioners’
reliance on technical analysis is well documented. Frankel and Froot(1990) noted that market
professionals tend to include technical analysis in forecasting the market.
The guiding principle of technical analysis is to identify and go along with the trend. When
there is a trend, whether started by random or fundamental factors, technical methods will
tend to generate signals in the same direction. This reinforces the original trend, especially
when many investors rely on the technical indicators. Thus, even if the original trend were a
random occurrence, the subsequent prediction made by the technical indicate or could be self-
fulfilling. This self-fulfilling nature leads to the formation of speculative bubbles (see, for
example, Froot etal., 1992). Conrad and Kaul (1988)found that weekly returns were
positively autocorrelated, particularly for portfolios of small stocks.
Lui and Mole (1998) report the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in February 1995
on the use by foreign exchange dealers in Hong Kong of fundamental and technical analyses.
They found that over 85% of respondents relyon both methods and, again, technical analysis
was more popular at shorter time horizons. This paper aims at carrying out Technical
Analysis of the securities of the selected companies in Indian stock market.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

RESEARCH DESIGN:

Descriptive research design is adopted to learn in details the technical analysis to predict the
short term price movements and establish long term patterns. Quantitative techniques are
used to analyze the technical indicators.

DATA SOURCES:

Secondary data are collected from Books, journals, News Paper and Websites. The data
collected is then analyzed using the following methods.

DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS:

 MS-EXCEL

 Using stock exchange market data (Indicates).

THEROTICAL PART:

 PIVOT POINT
1) The Pivot is an important value here.
2) Look at the price of stock/ underlying at 10.25-10.30 am. (Half hour after market
opens).
3) For support and resistance value, you can choose normal values or Fibonacci
values. Both give good result; it depends upon you which suit you.
4) Keep a target of 0.75%and 1% and put stop loss at 0.5%.
5) There are various scenarios which can occur at 10.25-10.30 am.

1. The price is below the Pivot but above S1.


In this scenario, you should buy stock above Pivot (If price reaches above Pivot)
and sell below the S1 (If price goes below S1).

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 5


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

2. The price is above the Pivot but below R1.


In this scenario, you should buy the stock or underlying above Pivot (If price
reaches above Pivot) and sell below the R1 (If price goes below Pivot).

3. The price is very near to Pivot (+/- 0.02)


In this scenario, you should buy the stock or underlying above R1 (if the price
reaches above R1) and sell below S1 (if the price reaches below S1).

4. The price is between R1 and R2


In this scenario, you should buy the stock or underlying above R2 (If the price
reaches above R2) and sell below Pivot (If the price reaches below Pivot). The
important here is not to sell below R1. You must sell below Pivot.

5. The price is between S1 and S2


In this scenario, you should buy the stock or underlying above Pivot (If price
reaches above Pivot) and sell below S2 (If the price reaches below S2). The
important here is not to buy above S1, buy only above pivot.

6. The prices is between S2 and S3


Same rule applies as rule 5. Buy above pivot sell below S3.

7. The price is between R2 and R3


Same rule applies as rule 4. Buy above R3 and sell below pivot

 MACD
MACD is an acronym for Moving Average Convergence Divergence.   This tool is used to
identify moving averages that are indicating a new trend, whether it’s bullish or bearish. 
After all, our #1 priority in trading is being able to find a trend, because that is where the
most money is made. 

With an MACD chart, you will usually see three numbers that are used for its settings.

 The first is the number of periods that is used to calculate the faster moving average.
 The second is the number of periods that are used in the slower moving average.
 And the third is the number of bars that is used to calculate the moving average of the
difference between the faster and slower moving averages.

For example, if you were to see “12,26,9” as the MACD parameters (which is usually the
default setting for most charting packages), this is how you would interpret it:

 The 12 represents the previous 12 bars of the faster moving average.


 The 26 represents the previous 26 bars of the slower moving average.

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 7


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

 The 9 represents the previous 9 bars of the difference between the two moving
averages.  This is plotted by vertical lines called a histogram (The blue lines in the
chart above). 

There is a common misconception when it comes to the lines of the MACD.  The two lines
that are drawn are NOT moving averages of the price.  Instead, they are the moving averages
of the DIFFERENCE between two moving averages.

In our example above, the faster moving average is the moving average of the difference
between the 12 and 26 period moving averages. The slower moving average plots the average
of the previous MACD line. Once again, from our example above, this would be a 9 period
moving average.  

This means that we are taking the average of the last 9 periods of the faster MACD line, and
plotting it as our “slower” moving average.

What this does is it smoothes out the original line even more, which gives us a more accurate
line.

The histogram simply plots the difference between the fast and slow moving average.  If you
look at our original chart, you can see that as the two moving averages separate, the
histogram gets bigger.  This is called divergence, because the faster moving average is
“diverging” or moving away from the slower moving average.

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 8


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

 MACD Crossover
Because there are two moving averages with different “speeds”, the faster one will obviously
be quicker to react to price movement than the slower one.  When a new trend occurs, the fast
line will react first and eventually cross the slower line.  When this “crossover” occurs, and
the fast line starts to “diverge” or move away from the slower line, it often indicates that a
new trend has formed.

From the chart above, you can see that the fast line crossed under the slow line and correctly
identified a new downtrend. Notice that when the lines crossed, the histogram temporarily

disappears. This is because the difference between the lines at the time of the cross is 0.   As
the downtrend begins and the fast line diverges away from the slow line, the histogram gets
bigger, which is good indication of a strong trend.

There is one drawback to MACD.  Naturally, moving averages tend to lag behind price. 
After all, it's just an average of historical prices. Since the MACD represents moving
averages of other moving averages and is smoothed out by another moving average, you can
imagine that there is quite a bit of lag. However, it is still one of the most favored tools by
many traders.

 Bollinger Bands
Congratulations on making it to the 5th grade! Each time you make it to the next grade you
continue to add more and more tools to your trader’s toolbox.  “What’s a trader’s toolbox?”
you say…  Simple! Your trader’s toolbox is what you will use to “build” your trading
account.  The more tools (education) you have in your trader’s toolbox (YOUR BRAIN), the
easier it will be for you to build.  
Bollinger Band
Bollinger band are used to measure a market’s volatility. Basically, this little tool tells us
whether the market is quiet or whether the market is LOUD! When the market is quiet, the
bands contract and when market is LOUD the bands expand. Notice on the chart below that
when the price was quiet, the bands were close together, but when the price moved up, the
bands spread apart.

That’s all there is to it. Yes, we could go on and bore you by going into the history of the
Bollinger band, how it is calculated, the mathematical formulas behind it, and so on and so
forth, but we really didn’t feel like typing it all out in all honesty, you don’t need to know any
of that junk. We think it’s more important that we show you some ways you can apply the
Bollinger bands to your trading.

The Bollinger Bounce


One thing you should know about Bollinger Bands is that price tends to return to the middle
of the bands. That is the whole idea behind the Bollinger bounce (smart, huh?).  If this is the
case, then by looking at the chart below, can you tell us where the price might go next?

If you said down, then you are correct!  As you can see, the price settled back down towards
the middle area of the bands

That’s all there is to it. What you just saw was a classic Bollinger bounce.  The reason these
bounces occur is because Bollinger Bands act like mini support and resistance levels . The
longer the time frame you are in, the stronger these bands are.  Many traders have developed
systems that thrive on these bounces, and this strategy is best used when the market is
ranging and there is no clear trend.  

Now let’s look at a way to use Bollinger Bands when the market does trend.

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 11

OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

Bollinger Squeeze
The Bollinger squeeze is pretty self explanatory.  When the bands “squeeze” together, it
usually means that a breakout is going to occur.  If the candles start to break out above the top
band, then the move will usually continue to go up.  If the candles start to break out below the
lower band, then the move will usually continue to go down

Looking at the chart above, you can see the bands squeezing together.  The price has just
started to break out of the top band.  Based on this information, where do you think the price
will go?

If you said up, you are correct! This is how a typical Bollinger Squeeze works.  This strategy
is designed for you to catch a move as early as possible. Setups like these don’t occur every
day, but you can probably spot them a few times a week if you are looking at a 15 minute

chart. So now you know what Bollinger Bands are, and you know how to use them. There are
many other things you can do with Bollinger Bands, but these are the 2 most common
strategies associated with them.

 Parabolic SAR
Up until now, we’ve looked at indicators that mainly focus on catching the beginning of new
trends.  And although it is important to be able to identify new trends, it is equally important
to be able to identify where a trend ends. After all, what good is a well-timed entry without a
well-timed exit? 

One indicator that can help us determine where a trend might be ending is the Parabolic SAR
(Stop and Reversal).  A Parabolic SAR places dots, or points, on a chart that indicate
potential reversals in price movement. From the chart above, you can see that the dots shift
from being below the candles during the uptrend, to above the candles when the trend
reverses into a downtrend. 
Using Parabolic SAR
The nice thing about the Parabolic SAR is that it is really simple to use.  Basically, when the
dots are below the candles, it is a buy signal; and when the dots are above the candles, it is a
sell signal.  This is probably the easiest indicator to interpret because it assumes that the price
is either going up or down.  With that said, this tool is best used in markets that are trending,
and that have long rallies and downturns.  You DON’T want to use this tool in a choppy
market where the price movement is sideways.

OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

 Stochastic
Stochastic are another indicator that helps us determine where a trend might be ending.  By
definition, a stochastic is an oscillator that measures overbought and oversold conditions in
the market.  The 2 lines are similar to the MACD lines in the sense that one line is faster than
the other. 

How to Apply Stochastic

Like I said earlier, stochastic tells us when the market is overbought or oversold.  Stochastics
are scaled from 0 to 100.  When the stochastic lines are above 80 (the red dotted line in the
chart above), then it means the market is overbought.  When the stochastic lines are below 20
(the blue dotted line), then it means that the market is oversold.  As a rule of thumb, we buy
when the market is oversold, and we sell when the market is overbought.

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 14


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

Looking at the chart above, you can see that the stochastic has been showing overbought
conditions for quite some time.  Based upon this information, can you guess where the price
might go?

If you said the price would drop, then you are absolutely correct!  Because the market was
overbought for such a long period of time, a reversal was bound to happen.  That is the basics
of stochastic.  Many traders use stochastic in different ways, but the main purpose of the
indicator is to show us where the market is overbought and oversold.  Over time, you will
learn to use stochastic to fit your own personal trading style.

OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

Relative Strength Index

Relative Strength Index or RSI is similar to stochastic in that it identifies overbought and
oversold conditions in the market. It is also scaled from 0 to 100. Typically, readings below
30 indicate oversold while readings over 70 indicate overbought.

Using of RSI
RSI can be used just like stochastic.  From the chart above you can see that when RSI
dropped below 30, it correctly identified an oversold market.  After the drop, the price
quickly shot back up. 

RSI is a very popular tool because it can also be used to confirm trend formations.  If you
think a trend is forming, take a quick look at the RSI and look at whether it is above or below
50.  If you are looking at a possible uptrend, then make sure the RSI is above 50.  If you are
looking at a possible downtrend, then make sure the RSI is below 50

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 16


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

In the beginning of the chart above, we can see that a possible uptrend was forming. 
To avoid fadeouts, we can wait for RSI to cross above 50 to confirm our trend.  Sure
enough, as RSI passes above 50, it is a good confirmation that an uptrend has actually
formed.

Elliott Wave Theory


Elliott explained that the upward and downward swings of the mass psychology
always showed up in the same repetitive patterns, which were then divided into
patterns he called "waves". He needed to claim this observation and so he came up
with a super original name:

The Elliott Wave Theory. 

The 5 – 3 Wave Patterns

Mr. Elliott showed that a trending market moves in what he calls a 5-3 wave pattern.
The first 5-wave pattern is called impulse waves and the last 3-wave pattern is called
corrective waves.

Let’s first take a look at the 5-wave impulse pattern. It’s easier if you see it as a
picture:  
That still looks kind of confusing. Let’s splash some color on this bad boy.

Here is a short description of what happens during each wave. I am going to use
stocks for my example since stocks is what Mr. Elliott used but it really doesn’t
matter what it is. It can easily be currencies, bonds, gold, oil, or Tickle Me Elmo
dolls. The important thing is the Elliott Wave Theory can also be applied to the
foreign exchange market.

Wave1

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 18


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF COMMONDITIE. (GOLD, SILVER, ZINC & CRUDE
OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

The stock makes its initial move upwards. This is usually caused by a relatively small
number of people that all of the sudden (for a variety of reasons real or imagined) feel
that the price of the stock is cheap so it’s a perfect time to buy. This causes the price
to rise.
Wave 2
At this point enough people who were in the original wave consider the stock
overvalued and take profits. This causes the stock to go down. However, the stock
will not make it to its previous lows before the stock is considered a bargain again.

Wave 3
This is usually the longest and strongest wave. The stock has caught the attention of
the mass public. More people find out about the stock and want to buy it.  This causes
the stock’s price to go higher and higher. This wave usually exceeds the high created
at the end of wave 1.

Wave 4
People take profits because the stock is considered expensive again. This wave tends
to be weak because there are usually more people that are still bullish on the stock and
are waiting to “buy on the dips”.

Wave 5
This is the point that most people get on the stock, and is most driven by hysteria.
You usually start seeing the CEO of the company on the front page of major
magazines as the Person of the Year. People start coming up with ridiculous reasons
to buy the stock and try to choke you when you disagree with them. This is when the
stock becomes the most overpriced. Contrarians start shorting the stock which starts
the ABC pattern.

ABC Correction
The 5-wave trends are then corrected and reversed by 3-wave countertrends. Letters
are used instead of numbers to track the correction. Check out this example of
smokin’ hot 3-wave corrective wave pattern!

For example, if you were to see “12,26,9” as the MACD parameters (which is usually
the default setting for most charting packages), this is how you would interpret it:

Just because I’ve been using a bull market as my primary example doesn’t mean the
Elliot Wave Theory doesn’t work on bear markets. The same 5 – 3 wave patterns can
look like this

Waves within a Wave


The other important thing you have to know about the Elliot Wave Theory is that a
wave is made of sub-waves? Huh? Let me show you another picture. Pictures are
great aren't they? Yee-haw

SVM IMS MBA COLLEGE ILKAL Page 20

OIL) AT MOTILAL OSWAL SECURITIES LTD.

Do you see how Wave 1 is made up of a smaller 5-wave impulse pattern and Wave 2
is made up of smaller 3-wave corrective pattern? Each wave is always comprised of
smaller wave patterns.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

The limitations of the study are as enumerated below

 The study limits to use of only few technical tools like MACD, RSI, ROC, Bollinger
bands, Double Average, Pivot study, stochastic and Candlestick chart.
 The study is purely of academic interest with no experience In the field makes it less
precise and non professional.
 As technical analysis involves the collection, presentation and interpretation of
voluminous data it becomes very difficult to concise the analysis.
 The data used for analysis pertains to three months only
 Each method which provides carries its own pros and cons.

COMMODITY EXCHANGE:

Commodities are products that can be bought, sold or traded in different kinds of markets.
Commodities are the raw materials that are used to create products which are consumed in
everyday life around the world, from food products in India to building new homes in Europe
or to running cars in the US.

Commodity trading in India has a long history. In fact, commodity trading in India started
much before it started in many other countries. However, years of foreign rule, droughts and
periods of scarcity and Government policies caused the commodity trading in India to
diminish. Commodity trading was, however, restarted in India recently. Today, apart from
numerous regional exchanges, India has six national commodity exchanges namely, Multi
Commodity Exchange (MCX), National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX),
National Multi-Commodity Exchange (NMCE) and Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX),
the ACE Derivatives exchange ( ACE )and the Universal commodity exchange (UCX). The
regulatory body is Forward Markets Commission (FMC) which was set up in 1953. As of
September 2015 FMC is merged with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

What are the major commodity exchanges in India?

There are currently 19 commodity derivatives exchanges in India. However, the bulk
of trading (99.88%) is concentrated in the following national-level commodity
exchanges:

ROC from the above table, the Gold price has undergone 32 times moving below the
Zero line it indicates the selling opportunity. The last value in the ROC is -0.0092 on
Oct,09, 2018

The rising of prices and falling in price depends on the position of ROC line, when the
ROC line is above the Zero line, the price is raising and when it is below the zero line, the
price is falling. There are a lot of fluctuations in the ROC implying the market is volatile.
The utmost drop in the price is on Sep1, 2018(-0.03825) and the highest peak in the price
is Oct 3, 2018 (0.026338).

Hence it was ideal to buy the gold by the end of the Aug 2018 and beginning of the Sep
2018.

that the end of Oct 6 is indicating selling opportunity.

That all moving averages are lagging indicators and will always be "behind" the price.
The price of Gold is trending down, but the simple moving average, which is based on the
previous 10 days of data, remains above the price. If the price were rising, the SMA
would most likely be below. When prices are trending, moving averages work well.
However, when prices are not trending, moving averages can give misleading signals.

That all moving averages are lagging indicators and will always be "behind" the price.
The price of Zinc is trending down, but the simple moving average, which is based on the
previous 10 days of data, remains above the price. If the price were rising, the SMA
would most likely be below.

When prices are trending, moving averages work well. However, when prices are not
trending, moving averages can give misleading signals.

CONCLUSION

Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by


market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysis does not attempt to
measure a security’s intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns
that can be suggest future activity.

Technical indicators look to predict the future price levels or simply the general price
direction, of a security by looking at past pattern. One cannot tell which is best indicator is as
all indicators have different methods of calculation and each method will provide it does
possess the sole explanation,

Technical analysis has several limitations. It is not an accurate method of analysis. It is often
difficult to identify the patterns underlying stock price movements. Moreover it is not easy to
interpret the meaning of patterns and their likely impact on Future price movements.
