MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2017

MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2017
Putting buoyancy on display, the Indian Equity markets showed no signs of correction and ended on Friday on a flat note gaining 6.35 points or 0.07%. On Monday, we expect a subdued opening in the Markets and expect some consolidation to set in. The NIFTY has not shown any correction as of now at Close levels but in Friday’s session, it has certainly shown some signs of fatigue and therefore, there are all chances that we see NIFTY50 taking a breather and some amount of healthy consolidation sets in.

The levels of 9175 and 9220 will act as resistance levels while supports will come in at 9104 and 9061.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Daily Chart is 77.2426 and it has reported a fresh 14-period high which is bullish. However, it trades in overbought territory. The Daily MACD has not reported a positive crossover and it is now bullish while trading above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY March futures have shed over 11.57 lakh shares or 4.44% in Open Interest. This signifies some profit taking at higher levels and also indications potential consolidation at current levels in the Markets.

Coming to pattern analysis, the NIFTY achieved a clear breakout above the 9000-mark and has went on to confirm this breakout as well. The breakout occurred from a major Double Top formation and therefore the levels that it breached, i.e. the 9000-mark has now become a important pattern support for the Markets. In event of any consolidation or a range bound corrective activity, this level of 9000-mark will remain critical to watch out for.

All and all, some signs of fatigue and exhaustion at 9200-levels in the NIFTY are apparent and evident. However, the lead indicators continue to show any buoyant intent. If we take a judicious view of all this, there are all chances that we witness some corrective activity in the Markets. Importantly, given the strong undercurrent, such corrective activity is likely to remain in form of range bound consolidation and very limited downsides. The broader Markets continue to remain supportive and individual stock specific and selective approach will hold the importance in coming sessions.
