Derivatives & Quantitative Outlook

The technology space has shown significant resilience in the last couple of months amid broader market volatility. We believe the sector is poised for the next round of upsides after a round of consolidation. HCL Technologies has retraced back to Rs. 800 levels after making lifetime highs near Rs. 900 in October. As long positions are still intact in the stock, we believe it will resume its upward momentum in the short-term.

The open interest in the stock has been increasing gradually in the last couple of months. The open interest in the stock has almost increased 50% since August along with the price movement as long positions were formed in the stock. Despite recent profit booking in the stock, the open interest has remained intact suggesting prevailing long bias still exists. We feel the stock is well placed to move towards its recent highs of Rs. 900 and above in coming days.
