Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, June 25, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                  June 25, 2014
Despite adverse technicals, the Markets saw a sharp recovery in yesterday’s session and ended the day with decent gains though volatility continued to remain ingrained into the Markets. The Markets opened on a positive note and saw stable trading in the first half of the session while it decently maintained gains. The gains got some further strength in the afternoon trade wherein the Markets went on to form the day’s high of 7593.35. However, in the late afternoon trade, the Markets suddenly saw some paring of gains. This coming off was little rapid as the NIFTY saw some paring of 60-odd points in a flash. However, the Markets were able to recover again and finally ended the day at 7580.20, posting a decent gain of 85.85 points or 1.16% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, we enter the penultimate day of the expiry of current derivative series and the Markets would continue to remain dominated with rollovers centric activity. The volatility will refuse to go away and shall remain ingrained. Today, we can expect a flat opening for the Markets but as the figures suggest, there are chances that we see some continuation of up move in the initial trade and at the same point, we can also see some volatile swings downward bias in the second half of the session.

For today, the levels of 7605 and 7660 would act as immediate resistance. The supports exist at 7510 and 7460 levels.

The lead indicators continue to point towards mild negative bias. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 62.7827 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, heavy rollovers continued. The NIFTY June futures shed over 21.87 lakh shares or 16.14% in Open Interest while the July Series added 36.87 lakh shares or 89.55% in Open Interest.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have held on to a mild pattern support of 7510 levels. As evident from the Charts, the Markets will have to move past the levels of 7700.05 for a fresh upward breakout and until this happens, we will continue to see the Markets in a consolidation state. However, this consolidation shall remain volatile as we have been seeing as the trading range remains broad.

Overall, we continue to reiterate our cautious stand in the Markets. We continue to reiterate to remain extremely stock specific  with a bias towards defensives and also to keep protecting profits at higher levels. While maintaining liquidity and very moderate leverage, cautious outlook should be continued in the Markets today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, June 24, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                        June 24, 2014
What seemed to be a fresh correction setting in to the Markets turned out to be a mere consolidation again as the Markets recovered most of its losses in the last 30-minutes of trade to end with just a modest loss. The Markets opened on a mildly positive note and formed its day’s high of 7534.80 in the early minutes of the trade. After briefly trading into the green the Markets slipped into the negative territory and remained in the negative for the rest of the entire session. It went on to gradually making fresh lows and in the late afternoon trade, went on to form the day’s low of 7441.60, slipping over 90-odd points from the intraday high. However, last 25-30 minutes of trade saw sharp short covering from lower levels. Markets recovered bulk of its losses and finally ended the day at 7493.35, posting a net loss of 18.10 points or 0.24% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today as well, expect the Markets to open on a positive note and look for directions. As evident on the Charts, the levels of 7510-7515 would be crucial and any slippage or trading below these levels would induce further weakness in the Markets. With rollovers started, the session would also remain dominated with rollover activities. Given the pattern analysis and the lead indicators, the chances of corrective activities continuing are high.

For today, the levels of 7520 and 7565 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports exist much lower at 7445 and 7410 levels.

The lead indicators continue to paint a weak picture on the Daily Charts. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 57.5188 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is Bearish. Also, the RSI has set a fresh 14-day low whereas NIFTY has not yet and this is continuance of clear Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD continues to trade below its signal line and remain bearish as well. 

On the derivative front, NIFTY June futures have shed over 4.10 lakh shares or 2.94% in Open Interest whereas July Series have added over 15.81 lakh shares or 62.39% in Open Interest. This indicates rollovers. NIFTY has reported 23% rollovers, whereas Market wide rollovers have stood at 28%, both of them a notch below their average.

Going by pattern analysis, the Markets have minor resistance at 7510-7515 levels and if the Markets do not sustain these levels, some more weakness is likely to creep in. Otherwise, it is likely to consolidate in a broad trading range, though with corrective bias.

All and all, given the technicals, reading of lead indicators and the F&O data, the possibility of corrective action is likely to continue. Also, at the same time, volatility would continue to remain ingrained in the Markets. It is advised to continue to remain stock specific and maintain moderate exposures. Overall, cautious to mildly negative outlook is advised for today.
