4. STOCK MARKET:
The Meaning
Stock market is a place where the shares of different companies are bought and sold. The
Organized Platform through which the buyers and sellers can trade in shares or other forms of
securities like bonds, derivatives is called STOCK EXCHANGE. The stock exchanges could
be a corporation or a mutual organization. They primarily serve the purpose of listing and
trading the shares.
In India, there are two stock exchanges apart from Regional stock exchanges:
1) National Stock Exchange (NSE)
2) Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)
Definition
― The market in which shares are issued and traded either through exchanges or over-the-
counter markets. Also known as the equity market, it is one of the most vital areas of a
market economy as it provides companies with access to capital and investors with a slice of
ownership in the company and the potential of gains based on the company's future
performance.‖
 Role of Stock Exchange in an Economy
Stock exchanges have multiple roles in the economy. This may include the following:
1) Raising capital for businesses
The Stock Exchange provides companies with the facility to raise capital for expansion
through selling shares to the investing public.
2) Mobilizing savings for investment
When people draw their savings and invest in shares, it leads to a more rational allocation of
resources because funds, which could have been consumed, or kept in idle deposits with
banks, are mobilized and redirected to promote business activity resulting in stronger
economic growth and higher productivity levels of firms.
SRIMCA Page 4

5. 3) Corporate governance
By having a wide and varied scope of owners, companies generally tend to improve
management standards and efficiency to satisfy the demands of the stakeholders.
4) Creating investment opportunities for small investors
As opposed to other businesses that require huge capital outlay, investing in shares is open to
both the large and small stock investors because a person buys the number of shares they can
afford.
5) Government capital-raising for development projects
Governments at various levels may decide to borrow money to finance infrastructure projects
by selling bonds. The issuance of such bonds can obviate the need, in the short term, to
directly tax citizens to finance development.
6) Barometer of the economy
At the stock exchange, share prices rise and fall depending, largely, on market forces.
Therefore the movement of share prices and in general of the stock indexes can be an
indicator of the general trend in the economy.
 Central functions and responsibilities of a stock market:
1) Making available cost-effective trading platforms
2) Bundling of liquidity by concentrating supply and demand
3) Guaranteeing the interchangeability, as well as the identical structuring of a particular
category of security
4) Ensuring the greatest possible transparency for investors
5) Providing information on prices and volume

6. Investment strategies:
One of the many things people always want to know about the stock market is, ―How do I
make money investing?" There are many different approaches; two basic methods are
classified as either fundamental analysis or technical analysis. Fundamental analysis refers to
analyzing companies by their financial statements found in SEC Filings, business trends,
general economic conditions, etc.
INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY:
The methods used to analyze securities and make investment decisions fall into two very
broad categories: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves
analyzing the characteristics of a company in order to estimate its value. Technical analysis
takes a completely different approach; it doesn‘t care one bit about the ‗value‖ of a company
or a commodity. Technicians (sometimes called chartists) are only interested in the price
movements in the market.
Despite all the fancy and exotic tools it employs, technical analysis really just studies supply
and demand in a market in an attempt to determine what direction, or trend, will continue in
the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand the emotions in the
market by studying the market itself, as opposed to its components. If you understand the
benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can give you a new set or skills that will
enable you to be a better trader or investor.
Just as there are many investment styles on the fundamental side, there are also many
different types of technical traders. Some rely on chart patterns, others use technical
indicators and oscillators, and most use some combination of the two. In any case, technical
analysts exclusive use of historical price and volume data is what separates them from their
fundamental counterparts. Unlike fundamental analysis, technical analysts don‘t care whether
a stock is undervalued – the only thing that matters is a security‘s past trading data and what
information this data can provide about where the society might move in the future.
SRIMCA Page 6

7. Technical analysis
It is the polar opposite of fundamental analysis, which is the basis of every method explored
so far in this tutorial. Technical analysts, or technicians, select stocks by analyzing statistics
generated by past market activity, prices and volumes. Sometimes also known as chartists,
technical analysts look at the past charts of prices and different indicators to make inferences
about the future movement of a stock's price.
Philosophy of Technical Analysis
In his book, "Charting Made Easy", technical analysis guru John Murphy introduces readers
to the study of technical analysis, explaining its basic premises and tools. Here he explains
the underlying theories of technical analysis:
Definition
"Chart analysis (also called technical analysis) is the study of market action, using price
charts, to forecast future price direction. The cornerstone of the technical philosophy is the
belief that all factors that influence market price - fundamental information, political events,
natural disasters, and psychological factors - are quickly discounted in market activity. In
other words, the impact of these external factors will quickly show up in some form of price
movement, either up or down."
 The most important assumptions that all technical analysis techniques are based
upon can be summarized as follows:
1) Prices already reflect, or discount, relevant information. In other words, markets
are efficient.
2) Prices move in trends.
3) History repeats itself.
General description
Technical analysts also widely use market indicators of many sorts, some of which are
mathematical transformations of price, often including up and down volume, advance/decline
data and other inputs. These indicators are used to help assess whether an asset is trending,
and if it is, the probability of its direction and of continuation. Technicians also look for
SRIMCA Page 7

8. relationships between price/volume indices and market indicators. 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. Also important are
sentiment indicators such as Put/Call ratios, bull/bear ratios, short interest, Implied Volatility,
etc.
There are many techniques in technical analysis. Adherents of different techniques (for
example, candlestick charting, Dow Theory, and Elliott wave theory) may ignore the other
approaches, yet many traders combine elements from more than one technique. Some
technical analysts use subjective judgment to decide which pattern(s) a particular instrument
reflects at a given time and what the interpretation of that pattern should be. Others employ a
strictly mechanical or systematic approach to pattern identification and interpretation.
Technical analysis is frequently contrasted with fundamental analysis, the study of economic
factors that influence the way investor‘s price financial markets. Technical analysis holds that
prices already reflect all such trends before investors are aware of them. Uncovering those
trends is what technical indicators are designed to do, imperfect as they may be. Fundamental
indicators are subject to the same limitations, naturally. Some traders use technical or
fundamental analysis exclusively, while others use both types to make trading decisions.
Benefits of Technical Analysis
Technical analysis focuses on price movement.
Trends are easily found.
Patterns are easily identified.
Charting is quick and inexpensive.
Charts provide a wealth of information.

Breakout - when a price passes through and stays above an area of support or
resistance
Commodity Channel Index - identifies cyclical trends
Momentum - the rate of price change
Moving average - lags behind the price action
Relative Strength Index (RSI) - oscillator showing price strength
Resistance - an area that brings on increased selling

11. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
According to Achelis "Technical analysis is the process of analyzing a security‘s historical
prices in an effort to determine probable future prices."
According to Edwards, Magee and Bassetti "It refers to the study of the action of the market
itself as opposed to the study of the goods in which the market deals. Technical Analysis is
the science of recording, usually in graphic form, the actual history of trading (price changes,
volume of transactions, etc.) in a certain stock or in ―the Averages‖ and then deducing from
that pictured history the probable future trend."
According to Murphy "Technical analysis is the study of market action, primarily through the
use of charts, for the purpose of forecasting future price trends. The term ―market action‖
includes the three principal sources of information available to the technician—price,
volume, and open interest."
According to Pring "The art of technical analysis, for it is an art, is to identify a trend reversal
at a relatively early stage and ride on that trend until the weight of the evidence shows or
proves that the trend has reversed. [...] Therefore, technical analysis is based on the
assumption that people will continue to make the same mistakes they have made in the past."
According to Cory Janssen, Chad Langager and Casey Murphy ―Technical analysis
is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing the statistics generated by market activity,
such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's
intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest
future acti

13. Research Methodology
 Introduction to topic:
In this Project, we‘ll introduce you to the subject of technical analysis. It‘s a broad topic, so
we‘ll just cover the basics, providing you with the foundation you‘ll need to understand more
advanced concepts down the road.
Technical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing the statistics generalized
by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysis do not attempt to
measure a security‘s intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns
that can suggest future activity.
 ANALYTICAL RESEARCH:
Research Design was based on analytical research, on the other hand, the researcher has to
use facts or information already available, and analyze these to make these to make a critical
evaluation of the material.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
To analyze the price movements of shares of SBI and interpret the corrections and trends by
using Technical Analysis tools.
1) To forecast the future trends and provide suitable suggestions to the investors.
2) To identify the inherent technical strength and weakness of the equity shares.
3) To represent the trend of the stock price through charts of the technical analysis.
 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
1) The study covers for a period of one year from 1/10/ 2011 to 28/10/2012.
2) The study helps to find out the future trends in the prices of PSU sectors companies
shares i.e. (ONGC, SBI, NTPC, COAL INDIA, BHEL) Valuable hints can be identified by
the investors for their future buying and selling.
SRIMCA Page 13

14.  LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:
1) One of the most important limitations for most technical analysis methods is the fact
that there are so many people using the basic technical analysis methods already, and the
number is increasing every day, making it harder for a single trader to make money on the
market with the methods.
2) Because of these methods are so widely spread and there is so much money riding on
the methods, some also claim that technical analysis has become self-fulfilling prophecy, as
people trend to enter the market and put their stops on the same places, increasing the
volatility towards the technical analysis method being correct.
3) Technical analysis systems usually do not take into account correlation between
different markets. If you are analyzing several markets and they all give similar signals, they
may have close correlations, meaning that the risk profile for each is very similar, and that the
prices of the assets move in close steps with each other.
 SOURCES OF DATA:
The main sources of data are collected through website, various publication books,
magazines, newspaper and reports prepared by research scholars etc.
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION:
SECONDARY DATA:
The study is purely based on secondary data. The secondary data are those which have
already been collected by someone else and which have already been passed through the
statistical process. The methods of collecting secondary data are published data or
unpublished data. It takes short time and relatively low cost.
 SAMPLING METHOD
- Systematic Rndom Sampling method used in this project by us , as we have
selected sectors nd companies on the basis of market capitalization.
SRIMCA Page 14

15.  SAMPLE SIZE
- 5 companies are selected by us
1) ONGC
2) NTPC
3) SBI
4) BHEL
5) COAL INDIA
 DURATION OF STUDY
- Here we hawe taken data for 1 year i.e. from 1-oct-2011 to 26-oct-2012 of all
five compnies .
STATISTICAL TOOLS APPLIED:
The analysis of data is carried out for secondary data by the following method.
Relative Strength Index(RSI)
Rate of Change (ROC)
 ROC ( Rate of Change)
ROC stands for Rate of Change, and is one of the most well-known and popular of stock and
share technical indicators. The ROC indicator is an momentum or velocity oscillator, with its
movement oscillating around a central zero-point level. As with many technical indicators, a
set period is used to compare with today's price. This period can be as small as 1 day or as
large as 200 days or more, but the most typical periods used are 10, 12 or 25 days.
Calculation of the ROC Indicator
The ROC is calculated by looking at today's price and comparing this with the price at so-
many days ago, depending on the period used. It can be expressed as a simple price-
difference figure, or as a percentage-change figure. Whichever was is used, the Rate of
Change indicator will be positive, negative or zero.
Calculation of the ROC as a simple price-difference figure as very easy - just look at today's
closing price, deduct the closing price so-many days ago (depending on period used), and
voila, you have the ROC figure.
SRIMCA Page 15

16. To obtain the Rate of Change indicator as a percentage, the following calculation is used:
ROC= ((today's closing price - closing price at [period number of days ago]) ÷ closing price
at [period number of days ago]) x 100
ROC =
Interpretation of the Rate of Change Technical Indicator
The Rate of Change Indicator can give a good idea of a stock, share or market's cyclical
pattern of movement upwards and downwards, and the graphical display of ROC can be a
way to identify these cycles better than just looking at the share price graph alone. When it
comes to interpretation for buying or selling decisions, analysts consider that a ROC indicator
which is at a high peak and starting to move down is an indication of a sell signal, whereas an
ROC at a low peak, but staring to move upwards, is a buy signal. This is due to the theory
that the higher the ROC, the more overbought the stock or share is, and the lower the ROC,
the more oversold it is likely to be. It is also based on the idea that movement toward the zero
line indicates that the existing trend is losing momentum. The best overbought or oversold
levels are likely to vary depending on the stock or share under study, so it is a good idea to
look at past patterns to assist in making a decision regarding a particular stock. In very strong
upwardly trending bull markets it may be advantageous to use higher and lower peaks than in
times of a weaker market.
Although more difficult to identify, divergences between the ROC trend and the stock price
can be helpful in interpretation, with the movement of ROC and price in opposite directions
considered to be a sign of a possible reversal of the stock price trend.
Some analysts also use the zero level as a basis of buy or sell decisions - buying when the
stock moves from below the zero line to above, and selling when the stock moves from above
to below the zero mark. However, other market technicians may consider this to be a slight
over-simplification of ROC interpretation.
SRIMCA Page 16

17.  RSI Technical Indicator
When applied to stocks, shares and securities, RSI stands for Relative Strength Index. It was
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr, who first introduced the concept of RSI to the
world in his 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
Unfortunately there are two different types (and meanings) of Relative Strength when it
comes to stock market trading, and this fact can lead to possible confusion. One of the types
of Relative Strength is the type used to compare the performance of a particular stock with
another stock or sector of the market, or with the whole market itself, or even to compare
whole markets worldwide (for example to compare the relative performance of the UK Stock
Market in comparison to the USA stock market). This type is not what will be discussed on
this page, but instead the Relative Strength Index developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. is a
momentum oscillator which is based purely on the price changes of a single particular stock,
share or security, and does not compare that individual stock to others or to a sector or the
market as a whole.
Calculation of the RSI Indicator
Wilder's RSI looks at the positive and negative price changes over a period of days prior to
"today" and, from these changes, calculates a RSI figure for "today" which can oscillate
between 0 and 100. Wilde preferred to use 14 days as a period for calculation, and this
appears to continue to be a popular choice, but some analysts and charts may use periods as
low as 8 or as high as 25 days.
If we call the period of days prior to "today" the period, then to start out in the calculation of
the RSI, we need to add together all of the positive price changes over the period.
Calculation:
RSI = 100 – 100 / (1+RS)
Average gain = (Total gains / n)
Average loss = (Total loss / n)
Relative Strength = Average gain / Average loss
Relative Strength Index = 100 – 100 / (1+ RS)
N = number of RSI periods.
SRIMCA Page 17

18. To simplify the formula, the, the Average Loss, the First RS, and the subsequent Smoothed
RS‘s For a 20 period RSI, the Average Gain equals the sum total all gains divided by 20.Even
if there are only 5 gains (losses), the total of those 5 gains (losses) is divided by the total
number of RSI periods in the calculation (7 in this case). The Average Loss is computed in a
similar manner. Calculation of the First RS value is straightforward: divide the Average Gain
by the Average Loss. All subsequent RS calculations use the previous period's Average Gain
and Average Loss for smoothing purposes.
RSI interpretation
The RSI is a momentum oscillator, which measures the speed of directional price movement.
According to Wilder, a divergence between the RSI and price action on the chart is a very
strong indication that a market turning point is imminent. A divergence between the RSI and
stock price action is where the stock is making new highs and the RSI is making new lows (or
vice-versa).
RSI can also be used to identify when a stock or share is overbought or oversold. With a 14
day period RSI, many analysts consider that if the RSI drops to below 30 mark, it indicates
that the stock is oversold, so is a possible buy signal. Conversely, if the RSI rises to above 70,
the stock may be overbought and it is worth considering selling. If a shorter period (for
example 8 days) is used, you may wish to use a lower level (for example 20 to 25) as an
oversold level, and a higher level (eg 75 to 80) as an overbought indicator. The lower number
of days used for the period, the more volatile the RSI will be.
Overall, RSI is one of the most popular technical indicators, and analysts consider it to be
among the most reliable. However, it works best with volatile shares, and may not provide as
much success if used with shares whose price does not change much over time. Also, beware
of large surges and drops in stock or share values - such sudden movements may produce a
false buy or sell signal. It is best to use RSI as a compliment to your investing tools and
information, rather than simply on its
