Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, September 25, 2014



MARKET REPORT                                                                                     September 24, 2014

The Markets had a consolidating session once again as it spent the entire day in a tight and narrow range and ended the day with nominal losses. The Markets opened on a quiet note and traded briefly in the positive territory while it formed its day’s high of 8042.05 in the early minutes of the day. However, the Markets soon drifted in the red thereafter and then spent most part of the session in the negative territory. A mild attempt was seen in the late morning trade wherein the Markets recovered its losses to trade briefly in the green but slipped again to form the day’s low of 7950.05 in the late afternoon trade. The Markets hovered in a narrow range of 30-odd points throughout the day and finally managed to end the day at 8002.40, posting a net loss of 15.15 points or 0.19% while continuing to form a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.



MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2014


Today, expect the Markets to open mildly on a positive note and trade positive initially. Also, today is the expiry day of the current derivative series and therefore the session would remain undoubtedly remain dominated with rollover centric activities. The volatility is likely to stay and the Markets are likely to remain in a broad trading range with no signs of upward breakout on a significant basis.


The levels of 8040 and 8080 would act as resistance. The supports would come in at 7950 and 7870 levels.


The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 50.7808 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line. 


On the derivative front, rollovers continued as NIFTY September futures shed over 20.39 lakh shares or 20.16% in Open Interest whereas the October series added over 25.36 lakh shares or 25.84% in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.87 as against 0.89 a day before.


Taking a look at the pattern analysis, as evident from the Charts, the Markets have chose to remain within a broadening formation which began to develop from the Month of June. Though such pattern has a very less frequent occurrence, the Markets still remain within this broad formation while failing to breach the upper boundary line twice. Though the third wave in this formation is  bit extended, it still remains within this formation.


Overall, the Markets might see some technical pullback and trade positive initially but overall bias still remains on the possibilities of consolidation continuing. Even with the under current remaining intact, the Markets may witness selective sell offs and would attract buying in selective quality non-index stocks as  stock specific sectoral out performance is likely. Overall, controlled leverage with very selective exposure is advised.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, September 24, 2014



MARKET REPORT                                                                             September 23, 2014

Though we can blame anything from weak economic signals from Euro zone and possible rise in unemployment in China or rising  geopolitical risks, actually weak technials played its part today in the Markets, much on expected lines as the Markets ended the day with a deep cut. After opening on a quiet note, the Markets showed some short lived upward momentum while it  formed its day’s high of 8159.75. However, after staying briefly in to the green, the Markets slipped into the negative territory. It continued to trade with capped losses in the first half of the session. The second half saw more weakness coming in as the Markets started to pare grounds rapidly. Showing no signs of recovery from lower levels, the Markets went on to form the day’s low of 8008.10, coming off nearly 150-odd points from day’s high. It finally ended the day at 8017.55, posting a deep cut of 128.75 points or 1.58% while forming a lower top and sharper lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.



MARKET TREND FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 


Technically speaking, the Markets have reaffirmed that the levels of 8180 would stay as immediate top for the time being. With the Markets closing near the low end of the day, we can expect a subdued opening tomorrow. The Markets may open quiet or mildly negative and might continue to drift, at least in the initial trade. Any pullback, if at all it sees, is all likely to remain short lived.


The levels of 8100 and 8160 would act as resistance and the supports would come in at 7940 and 7910 levels.


The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 51.6951 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line. On the Candles, a big black candle has occurred signifying the credibility of the resistance.


On the derivative front, both rollovers and unwinding of positions continued. The NIFTY September futures shed over 9.73 lakh shares whereas October series added over 28.32 lakh shares or 40.58% in Open Interest.


The pattern analysis of the  Daily Chart clearly shows the significance of the resistance that the broadening formation has posed before the Markets. The Markets tried to break out of the upper rising boundary line and failed to do so. Further, it gave up and came off quite a bit with heavy volumes and thus re-validating the resistance.


Overall, the bias of the Markets will now remain on the downside. Any pullbacks would be technical pullbacks and fresh breakout would occur only above 8180 levels. Any up swings, until this happens would remain quite volatile and with all likelihood will get sold into. Therefore, any fresh positions should be taken selectively in non-index components and quality stocks. While keeping overall leverage in control, caution is continued to be advised.
