- The India NIFTY Mid Cap Select Index chart is more promising than the Ishares MSCI India ETF. - There is a defined upward channel under which the 21 week SMA is providing support. - We have broken recent highs, local resistance and a have a DSS Bressert Cross turning up. All three are bullish signals. - A great risk reward set up is available here at 11:1. You can alter this to suit your risk tolerance or how long you want to remain in the trade. I would be inclined to lower the stop because the RR is weighted heavily to the upside. - It is possible that we get a retest of the breakout area also, but given the DSS Bressert Cross and upwards momentum, I lean more directly bullish.
There is a currency risk with the second trade in the NIFTY Mid Cap Select Index as it is denominated in the Indian Rupee (INR) which has been on a long term decline against the USD since Aug 2011. If we were to move to the bottom of the current long term pennant we could lose c.5% in currency devaluation in this trade. This could happen over a couple of months, so its something to keep an eye on.
