πŸ“ˆ Mastering Market Trends: Momentum Trading, EMA Strategies & The Power of Election Cycles


Commodity markets, especially crude oil, follow seasonal trends. By analyzing historical patterns, traders can predict high-probability moves with minimal risk.

πŸ” Historical Trend in Crude Oil Prices

πŸ“‰ Downtrend at Year-End:

  • Every year, crude oil tends to decline in the last quarter (October–December).

  • Example: 2022, 2021, 2020, and even 2009 saw significant year-end corrections.

πŸ“ˆ Uptrend in Early Year:

  • Historically, January to March sees a strong rally, often 20% or more.

  • Example: 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014β€”all saw major price surges in the first quarter.

πŸ’‘ Trading Strategy for Crude Oil

βœ”οΈ Wait for a breakout above the downward trendline. βœ”οΈ Once crude oil closes above this line on a daily chart, enter a long position. βœ”οΈ Buy a slightly out-of-the-money call option (400 points away) on MCX crude oil. βœ”οΈ Risk: β‚Ή5,000–₹6,000 per trade, but the potential reward is 10x or more.

πŸ‘‰ Expected Move: If crude oil follows historical patterns, this trade could double or triple capital with minimal risk.

πŸ“’ Key Learning:

  • Seasonal trends in commodities are powerful.

  • Using simple breakout strategies can generate massive profits.


πŸ“Š Momentum Trading Using Moving Averages: 5 EMA High & Low Strategy

While long-term trends are useful, momentum moves can provide quick profits. One of the best ways to capture these explosive moves is through the 5 EMA high and low strategy.

πŸ”Ή How Does the 5 EMA High-Low Strategy Work?

This strategy is based on Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) but with a twist: βœ”οΈ Instead of using closing prices, we track highs and lows. βœ”οΈ 5-period EMA of highs & lows acts as a trend filter. βœ”οΈ Stocks closing above the 5-period high EMA = Strong uptrend. βœ”οΈ Stocks closing below the 5-period low EMA = Strong downtrend.

πŸ“Œ Example: SBI & REC in Momentum Mode

βœ… REC Ltd:

  • Continues to close above the 5-period high EMA.

  • Indicates extreme bullish momentum and no signs of reversal.

  • Price can continue rising aggressively, with no resistance in sight.

βœ… SBI (State Bank of India):

  • Posted at β‚Ή610, predicted target: β‚Ή645.

  • If SBI continues to close above the 5-period high EMA, it could reach all-time highs soon.

πŸ’‘ How to Trade This Strategy? βœ”οΈ Enter a stock when it closes above the 5-period high EMA. βœ”οΈ Place a stop-loss below the 5-period low EMA. βœ”οΈ Ride the momentum as long as the price stays above the EMA.

πŸ“’ Why This Works?

  • Trending stocks stay above 5 EMA high for long durations.

  • Reversal signals occur when price closes below 5 EMA low.

  • This strategy works in all market conditionsβ€”stocks, forex, commodities.


πŸ”₯ Real-World Application: Stocks in Momentum Mode

Several stocks currently exhibit strong momentum and are ideal for this strategy.

πŸ“Š Stocks Trading Above 5-Period High EMA

1️⃣ REC Ltd (Power Sector)

  • Currently trading above 5-period high EMA.

  • Could see an explosive rally.

2️⃣ SBI (Banking Sector)

  • Targeting β‚Ή645+ soon.

3️⃣ BEL (Bharat Electronics Ltd)

  • Strong uptrend with no immediate resistance.

πŸ”Ή What to Expect?

  • As long as these stocks stay above their 5 EMA high, they are in momentum mode.

  • A close below the 5 EMA low would indicate a trend shift or slowdown.


πŸ—³οΈ Election Cycles & Market Volatility: What You Must Know

Many traders ignore elections, but historical data shows that elections create massive opportunities.

πŸ“ˆ Historical Election Data: Nifty Performance

πŸ“’ Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1999-2004): βœ”οΈ Won State Elections β†’ Markets surged 40% in 5 months. ❌ Lost General Election β†’ Markets crashed 32% in 4 weeks.

πŸ“’ Modi’s 2014 & 2019 Elections: βœ”οΈ Markets surged pre-election on BJP’s stability promise. βœ”οΈ Massive rallies in PSU & Infra stocks before results.

πŸ“Œ 2024 Prediction:

  • If Nifty hits 24,000 pre-election and BJP loses, it could crash to 15,000.

  • Mid-cap & small-cap stocks could fall 80%.


πŸ“’ Pre-Election Trading Strategy: Protect Your Portfolio

⚠️ One Month Before Elections: βœ”οΈ Exit most stock positions to avoid massive volatility. βœ”οΈ Stay in cash and wait for election results. βœ”οΈ If BJP wins, re-enter the market 5% higherβ€”it’s safer.

πŸ”Ή Why?

  • If BJP loses, markets will crash.

  • If BJP wins, markets will rise, but a 5% late entry is safer than an 80% crash.

πŸ“’ Final Thought: Markets don’t care about politicsβ€”they react to stability.


πŸ“Œ Key Takeaways So Far

βœ… Crude Oil Follows Seasonal Trends

  • Every January-March rally = 20%+ upside.

  • Breakout above trendline = Strong Buy Signal.

  • Use MCX options for high-reward trades.

βœ… 5 EMA High-Low Strategy Works Across All Assets

  • Stocks staying above 5 EMA high = Momentum mode.

  • SBI, REC, BEL currently show strong signals.

  • Stop-loss below 5 EMA low protects downside.

βœ… Elections Create Massive Market Moves

  • If BJP wins β†’ Markets rally.

  • If BJP loses β†’ Markets crash.

  • Stay in cash before elections, re-enter post-results.
