Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, June 28, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                       June 28, 2012
A  day of range bound activity and positive consolidation. This is what can explain the yesterday’s session in the Markets as the Markets opened positive, spent the day in the positive territory and ended the day with modest gains after moving in a relatively narrow range. The Markets opened on a positive note and while remaining in upward rising trajectory, gave its day’s high of 5160.10 in the afternoon trade. It came off a bit in the late afternoon trade, but recovered a bit again and finally ended the day at 5141.90, posting a modestly decent gain of 21.10 or 0.41%. It formed a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low charts.

Today, we enter into the expiry day of the current June Derivative Series and thus the session is likely to remain heavily dominated with rollover centric activities. Further to this, the Markets continue to heavily consolidate and thus expect the Markets to open on a moderately positive note and continue with consolidation with upward bias.

The levels of 5195 and 5220 shall act as immediate resistance on the Charts and the levels of 5105 and 5075 shall act as immediate supports.

The lead indicators continue to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 57.6205 and is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swing. The Daily MACD continues to remain bullish as it trades above its signal line.

The NIFTY and Stock Futures have continued to add Open Interest and this shows net longs in the key stocks as well as NIFTY and clearly points towards the clear possibilities of the Markets touching the upper levels of the broad trading range, i.e. 5200. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.54, leaving a gap for the upside.

Having said this, today we enter into expiry day of the current series. The session will see the rollover activities dominating the trend. The intraday trajectory that the Markets form would be important.

All and all, the Markets shall continue to consolidate, but  with upward bias as the under current remains bullish. In the phase of consolidation, there might be range bound movements with tinge of volatility ingrained in it. Occasional bouts of profit taking cannot be ruled out either. Any weakness should be used to make selective purchases. Shorts should be avoided as there are no negative breaches anywhere on the Charts. Overall, positive optimism is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, June 27, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                              June 27, 2012
The Markets saw a directionless, volatile and a narrow range bound session yesterday as it continued to consolidate as it ended the day with nominal gains after moving all over the places during the day. The Markets opened on a mildly negative note traded in the positive side with capped gains after remaining briefly into the red. The Markets gave its intraday high of 5134.35 in the late afternoon trade. It soon gave off its gains, dipped into the red and gave its intraday low of 5095.50. It however, recovered again in the last half an hour of trade and finally ended the day at 5120.80, posting a nominal gain of 6.15 points or 0.12%. It has formed a sharply lower top and mildly lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts. The volumes remained moderately below average.

Today’s analysis remains more or less similar to that of yesterday. We enter the penultimate day of expiry of the current June series and the session is likely to remain dominated with rollover centric activities. Positive consolidation would continue as the Markets are expected to open on a mildly positive note and continue with the yesterday’s up move that was seen towards the end of the session. Since the Markets continue to remain a  broad range and under consolidation, the intraday trajectory would continue to remain important to dominate the trend for the day.

The levels of 5155 and 5195 shall act as resistance and the levels of 5074 and 5050 shall act as immediate support on the Charts.

All lead indicators continue to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 55.8437 and it is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bullish as it trades above its signal line and it is not in overbought or oversold range.

The Markets shall continue to remain in a broad range defined with the levels of 5200 acting as immediate top but this consolidation is expected to remain a positive consolidation with an upward bias given the fact that the NIFTY and stock futures have continued to add Open Interest and the NIFTY PCR stands at 1.49, still leaving a significant gap on the upside. This, under normal circumstances, indicates the undercurrent remaining buoyant and intact.

Given the penultimate day of expiry, the session is likely to remain dominated with rollover centric activities for today and tomorrow also, and this will, in turn, likely the keep the  Markets either range bound or volatile and profit taking bout may happen. While strictly avoiding shorts, selective purchases may be made but profits need to be vigilantly protected. Overall, positive outlook is advised for today.
