My take is that TA creates little value when trading/investing in NSE equities market.
Reason... small market hence its inefficient and responds irrationally in the short term. Fundamentals, when analysed well, take care of the long term quite satisfactorily.
TA does not adequately capture "sentiments" which I believe play a much larger role here than say in NY or JSE. This requires a more qualitative approach...
I think what can pass for valuable TA is mapping the seasonal cycle (eg. january when people pay school fees
) of the indices and then imposing other "events" such as corporate announcements, elections, drought, inflation, money market activities (eg. bonds issues) etc.
I also think trading on the NSE has not been "invented" yet... traders (sometimes myself) just speculate without any proper research / TA...
