Month's Price Volume Action- 27th Apr'25

All the Price Volume action at one place !

Apr 27, 2025

Hello All,

In April 2025, Indian equity markets showed signs of stabilizing after a prolonged decline. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex managed to recover from first quarters losses, aided by easing global concerns and reduced foreign investor selling.

The Safe haven metals - Gold and Silver have topped the charts till now for the year. Sectorally, Finance has picked up this month while Defence and Consumption are making a comeback , while most other sectors also ended the month on a positive note except Reality.

Now, Lets deep dive ! ☕️

Returns on Indices across time periods

Returns across Sectors in April

2025 YTD trends tell a very different story: Gold (+24%) and Silver (+13%) stole the spotlight, while financials and Bank Nifty crawled into the green. Broader indices like Nifty 50 and CPSE barely stayed positive, while sectors like Infra, Energy, and Auto struggled for momentum.

The real pain showed up in Midcaps, Smallcaps, and Microcaps — all deep in the red, with Media emerging as the biggest laggard. In short, while 2024 was a broad-based party, 2025 (so far) has been a lot more selective — and defensive.

Nifty Smallcap100

NIFTY smallcap100 moved 1200 points since Feb’25. It is now above 100 WEMA and 200 WEMA.

PE has now moved to 29.8 from 26.8 in Feb.

Out of 100, only 39 stocks have gained more than 5% in a month whereas 39 gave negative returns. In an year, 50 stocks gave more than 5% returns

"Stocks Touching 10-Year High" signifies that a stock has reached its highest price level in the past decade. This indicates long-term strong performance and positive market sentiment. It suggests robust business growth and investor confidence, potentially attracting more interest and indicating sustained upward momentum. However, it may also prompt caution regarding overvaluation. There can be others also which might be not part of the list but sharing here only those which have good ROCE/ROE/OPM/Revenue growth and also not overvalued (NIFTY 500).

Stocks at 52-Week High indicates that a stock has reached its highest price in the past year, reflecting strong performance and positive market sentiment. This milestone can signal upward momentum but may also suggest potential overvaluation. Investors often watch these stocks for further gains or reassess their strategies based on this performance indicator. For some traders, a stock hitting a 52-week high might signal a breakout, suggesting that the stock could continue to rise if it surpasses previous resistance levels.

In technical analysis, the 200-day DMA is a long-term trend indicator. When the current price is below this level, it might signal a bearish trend or a downturn. While other aspect is that these leading stocks may be temporarily undervalued, presenting a potential buying opportunity for investors who believe the stock will revert to its mean or rise above the 200-day DMA again especially where the valuations are sane.

Near 52 week low but are good stocks fundamentally, If one would like to do some bottom fishing would be from one of these with sane valuations and sector uptrend.

Thanks for reading till now. I hope these 5-7 mins have added some value in your analysis.

Thanks,
