Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, December 13, 2011 (Published in the morning before the Markets opened)

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                             December 13, 2011

The Markets had a very disappointing session yesterday as it remained the worst performer after it peers and even after US and European Markets had closed with gains on Friday as yesterday, it was weighed down by domestic macro factors as it ended the day with losses. The Markets opened on a positive note, and gave its intraday high of 4910.25 in the early seconds of the trade. Thereafter, the Markets remained in falling trajectory for the entire session, went on to give its day’s low of 4755.55 and ended the day at 4764.60, posting a net loss of 102.10 points or 2.10%.
 Today, expect the Markets to open on a moderately lower note and look for directions. Today, the levels of 4720 and 4680 are likely to act as supports. At this point,  we would like to point out that the Indian Markets have remained the worst performer as compared to its peers. Yesterday’s fall or bad sentiment can be attributed to the very bad IIP numbers that we got, but before that, we have remained dominated with global factors and yesterday’s reaction to the IIP numbers apart, we have continued to defy the important technical indicators. The Markets continuing to decline despite the lead indicators remaining bullish (not counting yesterday’s reaction to IIP), is enough proof that the Markets are not behaving in line with the technical indicators.

 
Today also, similar pattern is expected to be seen as the lead indicators still continuing to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 39.2206 and is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD still remains bullish as it trades above its signal line. Further to this, NIFTY Futures have added over 9.45 lakh shares in Open Interest and this shows creation of shorts in the system. Further proof of the creation of shorts is the fact that the premium which was over 25-points two days  back has shrunk to just over 8 points.

We would also further like to point out that even if the Markets continues to see short creation, and attempts to touch its previous lows, they are unlikely to break the falling channel again, without seeing a technical pullback as the indicators would have got Oversold again.

Having said this, even if Markets continue to shed some weight, we can expect some stability to return to the Markets. In case of lower opening, it would be essential for the markets to trade above 4780 as this would act as temporary resistance. We would also like to point out again that even if we take yesterday’s reaction of the Markets to the IIP numbers as justified, it has remained underperformer since very long and lots of shorts are seen in the Markets. So, barring a weakness for a day apart, there are bright chances of a sharp short covering or a technical pullback and short squeeze can happen.

These lower levels can be utilized to make very selective purchases. It is continued to avoid aggressive  positions on either side and maintain cautious outlook for the day.
