Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, August 20, 2013

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The Markets saw total mayhem and mindless activity yesterday as it fell sharply for the third day in a row to end the day with losses. The Rupee yo ended below the 63 levels, its worst single day fall in last 18 years which added fuel to the fire yesterday.

Today, this mayhem is likely to continue. However, if analysts have any role to play in such Markets which is grossly and overly over reacting as all the negatives stand clearly discounted at current levels, all that can be analysed that all factors, technical and fundamental stands discounted at these valuations. However, the Markets to blatantly flout and defy all technical and fundamental considerations.

The Markets stands nearly oversold. With today's negative opening on cards, the opening levels of the Markets will make it OVERSOLD once again. The RSI on the Daily Charts stand at 32.12 and continues to show bullish divergence as the Markets have made a new 14- day low but the RSI has not.

The derivative segment to have added massive open positions with NIFTY futures halved added over 15.66 lakh shares or over 8.89% in open interest which show very clearly that creation of shorts is in full swing.

Such situation forces us to think on one thing, if we leave both short term technical and fundamental issues aside. We are going back to year 1991 economic state of affairs, though not that bad. PM Manmohan Singh, who took over then as a Finance Minister worked wonders for the Indian Economy. The is a very sad fact to acknowledge that the same person, in capacity of a PM is able to do very little. The sad reason of this fact is that at that time, he had total political insulation under the reigns of the then PM PV Narsimha Rao. He could do what was economically correct.Today, the same man, with all his capabilities stands isolated between bunch of people who have put their political agenda ahead of the country's growth.

All and all we continue to maintain that the retail traders / investors should stay away until the Markets stabilizes. We would advice bargain hunting at lower levels as the Markets have been defying technicals. It is strongly advised to stay away from such Markets. Instead of making fresh purchases, liquidity should be maintained and preserved to protect current positions.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, August 19, 2013

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY.


The Markets suffered from gross overreaction on Friday as it had one of the worst sessions in recent past as it ended the day with loss of 234.45 points or 4.08%.

It is MORE THAN EVIDENT that the the Markets have grossly over reacted and misinterpreted the RBI's measure to control volatility in the currency markets. The measures are seen more as steps to bring the capital controls back which were gradually lifted since 2004.

Today we might see some modestly negative opening or some opening nervousness in the Markets but the Markets have ended near their important double bottom support again. All the recovery that was seen in last 4 sessions was wiped off in a day and that has happened, in our opinion, is STRONG defiance of technical indicators.

Today, the RSI on Daily Charts stands at 35.66 and it shows as bullish divergence as the RSI has not reported a 14-day low but the Nifty has done so.The same scenario is seen on the Weekly Charts as well.

On the Derivative front, the Nifty futures have added 27.12 lakh shares or a massive 18.27% in open interest which shows massive build up of short positions.

If technical indicators are to be relied upon, we would very clearly advice the retail traders and investors to refrain from active participation in the Markets. Shorts should be definite avoided. Fresh long positions should be taken ONLY IF liquidity permits or else liquidity should be maintained to protect current open positions.
