Stock Market Update | Use every bounce as a profit booking opportunity: Cashthechaos.com's Jai Bala

"Key sectors like banks and heavyweights like ICICI Bank, State Bank of India (SBI), they've been seeing cracks, and I've been pointing out that the auto sector, which was a leader from March to December, has been forming head and shoulders top. That top is complete and we are even seeing a lower low on the auto index. So use every bounce as a profit booking opportunity. If you're a trader, you need a little bit of sharp eye to pick up shorting candidates from there," says Jai Bala of Cashthechaos.com.

Stock Market Update | Will be able to make money next year if you are in the right pockets: Anshul Saigal
"2023 is likely to be a volatile year, again, it has been a very narrow market in 2022. If you were invested in the broader markets, probably you didn't make much money. If you were in the right stocks in this year, you obviously made a lot of money, look at what happened to the PSU banking space. At the same time, the darlings of last year, which is the IT sector, that sector didn't do too well. So essentially, this is a year where if you had some understanding of visibility on earnings, you made money," says Anshul Saigal, Head & Executive VP, Kotak PM, Head & Executive VP, Kotak PM. "You got to choose your pockets with much more distinction. I do believe that next year is a year where you will be able to make money if you are in the right pockets. With the recent correction, I am spoilt for choice there is a lot of opportunity in the markets."

Stock Market Update | Not going to run up to new all-time highs anytime soon: Rohit Srivastava

"I do think that the top that we have seen is probably an important one that will stay for a while. I don’t think we are going to run up to new all-time highs anytime soon, which means that even the breakdown that we are seeing specifically the 18,000-18,100 range which is the trendline from the bottom that we made in October, is an important breakdown level because it sort of breaks the entire trend that had been going on since June. And I think that sets the tone for what might lie ahead," says Rohit Srivastava, Founder & Strategist, Indiacharts.com."In the very short term we may get to a point where there's support coming in at the 20-week average, which is at 17,845. Unless we really close below that, probably into the yearend, you could get some kind of a bounce back because typically volumes dull, a lot of traders are away, so a lot of the selling may end up being complete today."
