Domestic equity benchmarks scaled life-time highs, in the process, absorbing a host of domestic and global concerns, indicating a robustness in price structure. For many

Investors, though, it has been a mixed bag experience, as broader participation is still missing.

Our three-pronged approach reveals, a secular bull market is ahead of us, as midcaps are at the cusp of a new uptrend. Therefore, investors should align/construct their long

term portfolios to benefit from changing market dynamics with incremental weightage on quality midcaps

Our prognosis for the Nifty, is based on a projection from two year consolidation pattern implying target @ 14000 levels that is concurrent with our bottom-up approach. The

two baskets of Nifty constituents, a) Outperformer stocks and b) Bargain Buy stocks, command total weightage of 73%. They are expected to generate returns in excess of 20%

each, thus corroborating our bullish stance, derived from empirical studies.

Midcaps to rule the roost.

Our three-pronged approach reveals, a secular bull market is ahead of us, as midcaps

are at the cusp of a new uptrend. Therefore, investors should align/construct their long

term portfolios to benefit from changing market dynamics with incremental weightage

on quality midcaps.

Indian midcaps enjoy consistent positive correlation with global peers, with the

latter being a lead indicator. As US and European midcap indices are touching new

life-time highs after two year hibernation, empirical evidence favours Indian

midcaps following in their footprint

Nifty Midcap index is at the cusp of a breakout from a well defined falling channel

encompassing past two years price action, which will be a classic bull market signal

Market Breadth, as measured by percentage of stocks above long term 200 day

moving average, has acted as key determinant for forward returns. Indicator turning

above 50, has led to a one year return averaging 40% of for Indian midcap index,

over the past four major bull phases, across two decades

Since CY04, the rupee has consolidated for two years after a sharp

depreciation in a pre-election year as seen in 2004-05, 2009-10 & 2014-15.

The same rhythm has played out in CY19 and is likely to continue in CY20.

We expect it to consolidate in the broad range of 67-74 in CY20

Key hurdle at 67 levels

lows since 2012
