Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, October 07, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                         October 07, 2013
The Markets moved on either side in a broad range on Friday or expected consolidated as it ended the day on a absolutely flat note. The Markets opened on a decently positive note and traded strong in the initial trade but the late morning trade saw sudden paring of gains by the Markets. The Markets came off by over 50-odd points in the late morning trade and even went on to give the day’s low of 5885. From here, the Markets saw a gradual recovery from the day’s low. It slowly crawled back into the green and even went on to give the day’s high of 5950.45 in the late morning trade. This did not sustain either. The Markets failed to sustain at these levels and again saw paring of gains from the high point of the day. The Markets pared all of its recovered gains, dipped in to the red for a while and finally ended the day at 5907.30, posting a absolutely flat close with nominal loss of 2.40 points or 0.04% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today as well, we can expect some consolidation in the Markets to continue. The Markets are likely to open on a modestly negative note and look for directions. With the 200-DMA a acting as support, the Markets are likely to continue to remain in a broad trading range. Intraday trajectory would continue to remain important.

For today, the levels of 5950 and 5980 would continue to act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports would come in at 5840 in form of 200-DMA and further at 5804 in form of 100-DMA today.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 56.4249 and it continues to remain neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD is bearish as it  continues to trade below its signal line. 

On the derivative front, the NIFTY October futures have added 98,500 shares or nearly 0.57% in Open Interest. The addition in the Open Interest remains little or insignificant but it shows that no paring of OI is seen and no significant unwinding of positions is seen.

Given the above reading, it is clear from the pattern analysis that the Markets are in a consolidation phase with the two DMAs (200 and 100) acting as support. The Markets would continue to consolidate with positive bias until they maintain levels above these two DMAs. It is likely today that we see the opening on a negative side but the Markets again consolidates from those levels and recover during the day. 

Given the Markets remaining in a broad trading range and with a likelihood that it would consolidate, there are chances that we may see a range bound session with some amount of volatility ingrained in it. However, we advise to strictly avoid any shorts as there is no structural breach on the charts. Any down side or any such consolidation phase should be used to make selective purchases while vigilantly protecting profits. Positive caution is advised as selective out performance would be seen.
