In our previous weekly analysis, we clearly highlighted the possibility that:

“Markets may witness a shift in trend or acceleration opposite to the prior move from this session onward.”

What followed over the next few sessions validated this observation with remarkable clarity.

Pre-Budget Phase: Momentum Built as Expected

From 27th January onward, Nifty displayed strong bullish sentiment and rallied close to 500 points ahead of the Budget. This move reflected pre-event positioning and optimism, with price respecting the broader structure highlighted in our earlier analysis.

The rally unfolded in a measured manner, aligning with expectations of trend acceleration before a major event.

Budget Day: Reversal Right on Cue

As mentioned well in advance, we remained cautious about event-day behavior, noting that markets often move opposite to the pre-event trend once the event unfolds.

On Budget Day, this exact behavior played out:

  • The market reversed sharply after the pre-Budget rally
  • A massive sell-off followed
  • Volatility expanded decisively, confirming a shift in sentiment

This reinforced a key market principle:
Markets often discount events in advance and react once expectations peak.

Time Analysis Performance: A Week of Validation

One of the most important aspects of the recent phase was the consistency of time-based projections, which worked across normal sessions as well as during the high-volatility Budget day.

Tuesday – 27th January

  • Day low formed near 1:45 PM, close to our mentioned time
  • An intraday reversal around 11:45 AM, as projected

Wednesday – 28th January

  • The day’s low developed close to the expected time window, keeping the time cycle intact

Thursday – 29th January

This session offered multiple confirmations:

  • Day low near 1:45 PM, aligned with projections
  • Swing high around 11:00 AM, as mentioned in advance
  • Early stability around 9:20 AM, with the actual low near 9:45 AM
  • Momentum picked up near 10:50 AM, exactly around the projected time
  • Another key time window around 12:45 PM, followed by the day high near 2:45 PM

Friday – 30th January

  • A swing high near 10:00 AM
  • Day low around 1:15 PM, matching the mentioned time

Budget Day – 1st February

  • 12:00 PM, marked as a crucial time, saw the beginning of a sharp downside move
  • Later, around 1:30 PM, the market formed a swing high, again close to our projected timing

Across the week, time projections consistently aligned with reversals and momentum shifts, proving highly beneficial for the trading community.

Important Levels for the Week Ahead

With the market now entering a post-Budget price discovery phase, the following important levels should be closely monitored:

25566
25434
25365
25145
25085
24978
24856
24685
24538
24450
24331

Price behavior around these levels, especially when aligned with time windows, will remain crucial for understanding market intent.

Important Time Windows for the Week

Based on our ongoing time-cycle study, the following time windows are expected to remain significant for intraday activity:

Monday – 2nd February

11:00 AM | 12:50 PM | 1:45 PM

Tuesday – 3rd February

9:25 AM | 10:00 AM | 11:00 AM | 12:30 PM

Wednesday – 4th February

11:00 AM | 12:20 PM | 1:45 PM

Thursday – 5th February

10:20 AM | 11:00 AM | 1:20 PM | 2:30 PM

Friday – 6th February

9:15 AM | 11:45 AM | 1:45 PM | 2:35 PM

These windows may coincide with changes in momentum, reversals, or acceleration, and should be observed alongside price action rather than anticipated blindly.

Weekly Outlook & Closing Note

Following the sharp moves triggered by the Budget, markets may continue to experience volatile and unpredictable sessions this week. Given the expanded volatility, we remain cautious in our approach and prefer reduced activity and selective trades over aggressive positioning.

At present, we do not identify any significant time-based dates that require special attention this week. Capital preservation, discipline, and patience remain essential during such phases.

We will continue to track developments closely and reassess conditions as the structure evolves.

See you next week.
