Indian Equity Markets: A Strong Comeback

Indian equity markets have staged a strong comeback since the vote counting day on June 4, hitting record highs day after day. This remarkable rally has showcased the resilience and optimism in the market, driving both benchmark and broader indices to new heights.

Record-Breaking Performance

On Tuesday, the NSE benchmark Nifty50 index soared to an all-time high level of 23,579.05. Not far behind, the broader index Nifty500 reached a record high of 22,332.75. The Nifty500 has advanced by 5.81% in June, a significant leap that has propelled the 14-period RSI (Relative Strength Index) to an overbought level of 83 on a monthly time frame.

Understanding the Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator created by J. Welles Wilder. It measures the magnitude of recent gains against recent losses, generating a number that ranges from zero to one hundred. This indicator helps identify overbought and oversold conditions in the stock or index:

• Overbought: RSI above 70

• Oversold: RSI below 30

With the Nifty500 index entering the overbought territory, it’s essential to examine the stocks contributing to this surge.

Identifying Extreme RSI Readings

Stocks with extremely high RSI values often signal overbought conditions, indicating potential price corrections. For our analysis, we consider a benchmark of 90 for extreme RSI readings. Here are the stocks from the Nifty500 index with RSI values of 90 or above on a monthly time frame:
