The IT index has corrected over 30% from its all-time high of 39,446.
IT giants like Infosys & TCS fell over 25% while Wipro & Tech Mahindra have corrected over 45%.
A fall of this extent in fundamentally strong stocks begs the question - are the fastest growing companies or long-term stocks stories over for Indian IT stocks?
In 2020-2021, the best midcap stocks to buy were IT stocks and they have lost their charm by correcting 40-50% from their highs.
On 19 July 22, I did a video on short-term bottom for the IT index. Watch it here if you missed it: Are IT stocks bottoming out?
The reversal is playing well for the bulls as the index forms a double bottom pattern on the daily chart.
The bullish crossover of averages and histogram above integer line on MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) signals the bullish momentum.
The gap area of 28,500-29,000 along with 50DEMA (Daily Exponential Moving Average) which is placed at 28,653 is acting as hurdle for bulls.
Infosys declared its Q1 results on weekend and the stock opened on a negative note. It is trading around Rs 1,495 at present.
As top investing gurus of India are indicating that fundamentally strong stocks in the IT index are trading at cheaper valuations, investors can dig deep into it to find the best multibagger stock for next 10 years.
Technically, I believe the move above 29,000 in the IT index can trigger a rally towards 31,500-32,000 levels.
A falling rupee may further ignite the reversal.
At present, the rupee is trading at 79.80 against the US dollar.
The Nifty IT index is trading down 0.1% at 28,130. From the index, Coforge and Mphasis are the top gainers today.
