5 Midcap Stocks Under Rs 100 to Add to Your Watchlist

As large-cap stocks and sectorial indices are gaining bullish momentum, the Nifty Midcap index is on the verge of breaking out of its consolidation zone.

It could join hands with the benchmark indices to surpass its previous high.

During the September 2022 rally, the midcap index outperformed Nifty and hit a new high, indicating a trend reversal.

In the recent rally, Sensex and Nifty have crossed their previous highs but the momentum is lacking in the midcap index.

As the midcap index hit a higher high in September 2022, the recent momentum may catch up with the benchmark index. This offers traders a good opportunity in mid-cap stocks.

The surpassing of the previous swing high (lower black horizontal line on chart) signals the bulls are gaining strength. The break of the higher horizontal trendline on the chart above may accelerate the bullish trend.

Don't miss this opportunity with a favourable low risk - high reward setup.

The broader market is trending bullish. So let's analyse the performance of the Midcap Index against the Nifty500.

This is the ratio chart is of Midcap100 / Nifty500. If the ratio is going higher, it means midcaps are outperforming against Nifty500 and vice versa.

In the chart above, the ratio broke out of a bullish pennant technical pattern in August 2022. The bullish pennant pattern is formed with a rally prior to the consolidation in the form of a symmetrical triangle.

The rally is considered as the pole and added with a symmetrical triangle forms the bullish pennant. It's a continuous pattern indicating the resumption of the bullish trend.

The breakout is retested in October and the resumption of the northwards journey in November suggests it's time to buy midcap stocks.
