Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, February 28, 2013

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                                 February 28, 2013
Yesterday’s session remained more or less on expected lines as the oversold Markets attempted a pullback and at the same time the levels of 5810 continued to act as resistance but still the Markets ended the day with decent gains.  The Markets opened on a moderately positive note and after briefly trading positive; it dipped into the red to give the day’s low of 5749.70. However, it then transformed itself into rising trajectory and reversed the trend. It came back into the green and kept moving upwards in rising channel. It went on to give day’s high of 5818.20 in the late afternoon trade. The Markets hovered around those levels, came off a bit and finally ended the day at 5796.90, still posting a decent gain of 35.55 points or 0.62% while forming a lower top and similar bottom on the Daily High Low charts.

Today would be the most critical session for the Markets today. We have our most important external event, Union Budget, coming up today and we also have expiry of the current derivative series today. Expect the Markets to open on a positive note and move in a  capped range for the first hour and half of the trade. It shall start reacting as Budget proposals come up. The volatility is imminent today and the sustenance of the Markets above the levels of 5810 would be of critical importance. 

For today, the levels of 5810 and 5865 shall act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports come in much lower at 5740.

The lead indicators are neutral. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 34.6981 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD is remains bearish as it continues to trade below its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY and stocks continues to witness heavy rollovers and most of the rollovers happened on the long side as it added in total open interest. Fundamentally speaking, we have discounted most of the negatives in the correction that we saw in the month of February.

The Markets are bound to remain volatile and shall keep giving knee jerk reactions to the budget proposals as we go in further into the session. However, the Markets will take a fundamental call, but at the same time the down side in the Markets would be limited given the overall technicals and the F&O statistics.

All and all, unless some drastically negative comes in, we will continue to see range bound movements with knee jerk reactions ingrained it. But with the scenario, we would continue to advice to refrain from building any shorts. Any downside that may follow should be used in making high selective purchases as sectoral out performance would be seen. Overall, cautious approach with tinge of positive optimism is advised for today.
