Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, July 09, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                           July 09, 2014
The Railway Budget failed to cheer the Markets as the Markets reacted very negatively to it and ended the day with large losses. The Markets as such needed a reason to correct and it found it in Railway Budget which was seen as more on intentions and less on actions. The Markets opened on a mildly positive note and formed its day’s high of 7808.85 in the early minutes of the trade. After remaining in green for a short while the Markets drifted into the red. It moved in sideways trajectory while the Budget was being presented and in the second half saw a huge wave of selling pressure coming in. The drifted further and went on to lose over 200-odd points from the high point of the day and went on to form the day’s low of 7595.90. It saw a very minor recovery at Close and ended the day at 7623.20, posting a big loss of 163.95 points or 2.11% while forming a slightly higher top but sharply lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, the Markets are likely to see a subdued opening and remain weak in the initial trade and we may see some more pain today. The Markets have breached its important levels of 7700 and in event of a technical pullback, this level of 7700 will act as resistance. After yesterday’s session the Markets have failed to report a breakout while moving past the levels of 7700. The intraday trajectory and volumes will pay a important role. The volatility shall definitely persist as the Markets shall also react to Economic Survey which would be released later today.

For today, the levels of 7700 would continue to act as resistance. The supports com in at 7590 and 7510 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 55.70 and it remains neutral with no bearish or bullish divergences or any failure swings. The Daily MACD reported a negative crossover again and it now trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July future have shed over 6.43 lakh shares in Open Interest and this clearly shows that there has been unwinding of long positions yesterday.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have failed to achieve a breakout after it attempted to move past the levels of 7700. Now since the Markets have drifted below this level, this level shall act as immediate resistance for the Markets.

Overall, as mentioned earlier, the Markets shall also react to the Economic Survey today and also more to Union Budget coming up yesterday. We may see more weakness coming in if the Union Budget is also viewed more in intentions and less in actions tomorrow. There are all chances of it remaining a non-event for the Markets. Given this scenario, and given that the Markets were anyway due for correction, we advice to stay away from making fresh purchases and continue to maintain liquidity. Cautious outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, July 08, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                      July 08, 2014
The Markets continued to inch upwards to newer lifetime highs as it opened positive, traded in a 30-point capped range and ended the day with modest gains. After opening on a flat to mildly positive note, the Markets maintained its initial gains but gradually drifted lower. It continued to slip very mildly and by afternoon trade had pared most of its gains but continued to trade in positive territory. Again, the second half of the session saw some recovery coming in as the Markets formed its intraday high of 7792. These levels were maintained as the Markets finally ended the day at 7787.15, posting yet another modest gain of 35.55 points or 0.46% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts. The volumes remained slightly lower yesterday than the average.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY
Expect the Markets to open once again on a mildly positive note and look for directions. Quiet opening may be expected but for the rest of the week, the Markets shall remain dominated with external events. We have Railway Budget coming up today, Economic Survey tomorrow and Union Budget, the day after. The Markets shall remain range bound and volatile and might see some profit taking bouts as they remain “overbought” on both Daily and Weekly Charts.

For today, the levels of 7790 and 7825 may act as resistance levels. Supports exist much lower at 7700 and 7630 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 70.5986 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. However, it now trades in “overbought” zone. The Daily MACD has reported a positive crossover and now trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY July futures have added 83,400 shares or nominal 0.58% in Open Interest. This shows that there has been no major additions  / offloading of fresh positions in yesterday’s session. Stock future shave shed nearly 1 Crore shares in Open Interest yesterday.

If we look at pattern analysis, the Markets have formed  what is known as ‘rising wedge’ on  the Daily Charts. Such patterns normally induce minor corrections from higher levels. Further the Markets continue to trade “overbought” on both Daily as well as Weekly Charts as clearly evident from the lead indicators.

Given the above reading, there is no possibility that the Markets show a ‘run-away’ upward rise in immediate short term. If it does show such sporadic rise, it would be due to external events that are lined up but under these circumstances fresh open ended buying should be very strictly avoided. Any sporadic rise would make the Markets unhealthy and make profit taking bouts imminent and uncertain. Overall, while maintaining liquidity, very moderate positions with cautious outlook should be taken for today.
