Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, November 26, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                  November 26, 2012
The Markets on Friday ended the day on a flat note after it recovered from its day’s low continuing with its consolidation. The Markets opened on a flat to mildly positive note and gave its intraday high of 5637.75 in the early minutes of the trade. The Markets continued to trade in a very capped range  in the morning trade but thereafter lost some ground as it continued to slip gradually. It not only dipped into the red, but went on to give the intraday low of 5593.55. However, in the last hour and half of trade, the Markets saw some recovery coming in form of short covering. It recovered from its lows and finally ended the day at 5626.60, posing a net loss of 1.15 points or 0.02% forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

Today, we enter into the expiry week of the current series and the Market behaviour in coming days is all set to remain influenced with the rollover activities. For today, expect the Markets to open on a moderately positive to flat note and the behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis the levels of 5630 would be critical. The Markets will have to remain above this levels to avoid any weakness creeping in.

For today, the levels of 5630 and 5675 shall act as immediate resistance levels and the levels of 5575 and 5530 are immediate supports.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Charts is 47.6575 and it is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its  signal line. On the Weekly Charts too, the RSI is neutral without showing any failure swings or bullish / bearish divergence. The Weekly MACD trades above its signal line.

Going by the above, the Markets do not have any specific directional triggers on the upside and thus, it is sure to remain influenced with the rollover activities. The NIFTY futures have shed over 6 lakh shares or 4.8% in Open Interest on Friday. This signifies that the rise that we saw towards the end of the session was more due to short covering and not due to any fresh buying.

Having said this, the opening levels of the Markets and the behaviour vis-à-vis the levels of 5630 would be important. It will have to comfortably sustain above this levels in order to avoid any weakness.

All and all, the intraday trajectory the Markets form would be important to decide the trend for today. Stock specific  and rollover centric activity shall dominate the Markets. Overall structure and pattern analysis of the Markets show to directional triggers on the upside. While remaining highly stock specific and cautious, aggressive positions are not advised.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, November 16, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                     November 16, 2012
The Markets had an disappointing session yesterday, but quite on expected lines as it continued to register losses and ended the day again on moderate losses. The Markets opened lower and remained negative for the entire session. After opening on a negative note, the Markets continued to slide gradually in the first half of the session as it gave its intraday low of 5603.55, testing and breaching supports of 5630 levels. The Markets however saw some mild support coming in and recovered a bit from those levels. It finally ended the day at 5631, with net loss of 35.95 points or 0.63%. It continued to form a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

All is just not well with the Markets. The Markets are again expected to open on a flat to mildly negative note and look for directions. The opening of the Markets and its behaviour thereafter vis-à-vis the levels of 5630 would be critically important to determine if the Markets are to slip into further weakness or not. The intraday trajectory of the markets would be equally important and any dip below 5630 is likely to take the Markets further down.

For today, if the Markets opens below 5630, then 5630 and then 5700 would be resistance levels for today. Supports come in at 5605 and 5560 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 45.5531 and it is neutral as it shows no negative / positive or bullish / bearish divergence and also it does not show any failure swing. The Daily MACD is bearish as it continues to trade below its signal line.

On the Candles, the A Falling Window has occurred. This usually implies continuation of bearish trend. The two candles preceding this formation were black and this makes the pattern even more bearish.

To add to this, the NIFTY future have shed over 13.86 lakh shares or 7.56% in Open Interest which very clearly signifies unwinding of long positions yesterday. Similar trend was witnessed with stock futures. NIFTY PCR stands at 1.01 as against 1.06.

We can fairly conclude that the Markets are not at all in good shape and no significant up move shall occur until the Markets moves past the levels of 5700+. Until it remains above 5630, it shall remain in a broad range and if it slips below 5630, it can certainly induce further weakness.

All and all, we continue with our advice to refrain form taking aggressive long positions and any profit on the longs should be vigilantly protected. While taking fresh positions on very selective manner, we continue to reiterate our downward bias on the Markets until it moves past the levels mentioned above.
