Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, August 21, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                                         August 21, 2012
The Markets continued to see minor correction on Friday, with the sentiment also dented to some extent with the CAG Reports. The Markets opened on a moderately positive note and continued to trade sideways in a capped range while marking the levels of 5399.95 as its day’s high. The Markets reacted precisely from these levels , which were also mentioned in our Friday’s edition of Daily Market Trend Guide. Though this was also a technical level of major resistance, the sentiment was further dented by the CAG Reports that came in. The Markets gave off all of its gains as it dipped into the red and gave the day’s low of 5341.70. It however, recovered a bit from those levels and ended the day at 5366.30, posting a negligible gain of 3.35 points or 0.06%. The Markets have formed a higher top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

Today, again expect the Markets to open on a moderately negative note and continue with the corrective activity that we witnessed on Friday. The Markets shall open on a quietly flat to negative note and look for directions and the intraday trajectory would be important to influence the trend for today.

The key levels of 5375-5400 shall continue to act as key resistance levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 63.8206 and is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line.

There are  two important things that are necessary to be noted. First, the key levels of 5400 that we have been mentioning in our previous editions of the Daily Market Trend Guide have continued to act as key resistance and shall continue to do so and sustainable up move shall occur only after the Markets moves past these levels. Secondly, the Markets are showing some immediate short term signs that the Markets have continue to show little more correction as the NIFTY has shed over one lakh shares in Open Interest.

Having said this, it is also important to note that the Markets moving past the levels of 5400 would be an attempt of continuing trend reversal after making two higher highs after giving a low of 4531 in December 2011. So, it is extremely important for the Markets to move past this level of 5400 and in the same breath, no sustainable up move shall occur unless the Markets moves past this level.

All and all, continuance of stock specific and selective approach is advised. The Markets shall remain in a range, probably see some bouts on either side too but more or less continue to consolidate facing stiff resistance at 5400 levels. Heavy and aggressive positions are not advised on either side. Overall, continuance of cautious approach is advised for today.
