Sharp Open Interest Surge and Continued Gains on 29 January
The bullish momentum extended into 29 January, with Hitachi Energy India Ltd closing at Rs.18,324.00, up Rs.640.90 or 3.62%. The stock outperformed the Sensex’s modest 0.22% gain, closing at 36,266.59. Notably, the derivatives market saw a sharp increase in open interest (OI), rising 12.07% to 8,757 contracts, signalling heightened trader activity and bullish positioning. The futures segment alone accounted for ₹28,161 lakhs in value, while options contracts reached a notional value of ₹10,136 crores, reflecting strong speculative and hedging interest.
This surge in OI alongside rising prices typically indicates fresh capital inflows and confidence in further upside. Despite a 6.42% decline in delivery volumes to 42,520 shares, liquidity remained sufficient to support active trading. The stock’s outperformance relative to the Capital Goods sector’s 3.08% gain further underscored its leadership within the industry.
Mixed Technical Signals Amid Price Momentum Shift
While the stock’s price momentum remained positive, technical indicators on 29 January presented a nuanced picture. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the weekly chart signalled a bearish crossover, suggesting weakening short-term momentum, whereas the monthly chart indicated a mildly bearish stance. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovered in a neutral zone, implying no clear overbought or oversold conditions.
Bollinger Bands showed mixed signals: weekly data suggested mild bearish pressure with prices testing lower bands, while monthly data indicated mild bullishness. Daily moving averages remained mildly bullish, reflecting short-term strength. Additional indicators such as the Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator and Dow Theory assessments echoed this cautious stance, signalling a potential consolidation phase despite recent gains.
