Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, October 11, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                           October 11, 2012
The Markets continued with the correction yesterday, though it made an intermittent attempt  to recover but finally went on to end the day with losses. The Markets opened negative following weak technicals and subdued global cues and traded initially with capped losses. The Markets lost some further ground but in the mid session, it saw a bout of some recovery on back of short covering. However, that remained short lived as the Markets lost further ground as it went on to give it’s day’s low of 5647.05. The Markets did not recover much from those levels as it finally ended the day at 5652.15, posting a net loss of 52.45 points or 0.92%, forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low charts.

Today, we can expect a moderately positive opening in the Markets. The intraday trajectory that the Markets forms would be very important today as all technical indicators and the patterns on the Charts point towards continuation of the corrective activities in the Markets.

The levels of 5630 would be immediate support for the Markets and the behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis those support levels would be important. Any breach below 5630 will see the weakness deepening in the Markets.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 57.0274 and it has reached the lowest value in last 14-days which is  BEARISH. The RSI has set a new 14-period low whereas  NIFTY has not yet, and this is BEARISH DIVERGENCE. The Daily MACD is now trading below its signal line.

Having said this, it is further important to note that the NIFTY Futures have shed over 6 lakh shares in Open Interest and this clearly indicates long unwinding in the Markets. Unless we see any fresh buying, this may cause the corrective activities in the Markets to continue bit longer. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.99.

All and all, the behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis the levels of 5630 would be important. The Markets will have to remain above this level in order to avoid further weakness. Any dip below this will make the Markets weaker. While remaining ultra selective while taking positions, profits should be protected on either side. Overall, cautious outlook is advised for today.
