MARKET TREND FOR TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2014

Technically speaking, the Markets have ended the day near its high point and it is likely to open positive and continue with its up move at least in the initial session. However, we enter the penultimate day of expiry of current series as Thursday remains a holiday on account of Christmas. The session is likely to see a volatile rollover dominated movements and the levels of 50-DMA would continue to once again act as support.

The levels of 8350 and 8390 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The 50-DMA level of 8245 would act as immediate support for the Markets at Close levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 51.4321 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish while trading below its signal line.

On the derivative front, rollovers continued as the NIFTY December futures shed over 18.45 lakh shares or 9.32% in Open Interest. The January Futures added over 44.54 lakh shares or 70.30% in Open Interest.

Going back to pattern analysis, the Markets have seen a pullback of nearly 360-odd points from its intraday low on 17th of December. However, while doing that, it has maintained its support on 100-DMA at Close levels and have moved past its 50-DMA to Close above that. Now, in order to continue with its up move / pullback, even if the Markets sees some consolidation or mild profit taking, the levels of 50-DMAare expected to act as support once again at Close levels.

Overall, though the pullback and the factors affecting it remain intact, some amount of volatility induced by rollovers cannot be ruled out. It may happen that the Markets witness some mild profit taking after a pullback of 360-odd points from its intraday lows and due to this some amount of volatility may remain ingrained. However, overall no major downside is expected in the Markets. With stock specific approach being maintained, cautious optimism is advised for the day.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, December 22, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                              December 22, 2014
Markets continued with its up move and short covering continued on Friday as well as the Markets went on to end with gains on the second day running though it resisted to its 50-DMA at Close. The markets saw a minor gap up opening again and after opening positive the Markets went on to post gains gradually. It went on to form the day’s high of 8263.45 by late morning trade. The Markets thereafter traded in a sideways trajectory trading in 25-odd points range. In the second half of the session, though the market overall maintained its gains, it came off from its day’s high. It finally ended the day at 8225.20, posting a net gain of 65.90 points or 0.81% forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2014

Markets will now see a very important session as it has resisted to its 50-DMA levels at Close. We are likely to see a quiet to modestly positive opening and the levels of 8235, which is the 50-DMA for the Markets would be the critical levels to watch out for. It would be critically important for the Markets to open or move past this level in order to avoid any weakness from keeping in again. The intraday trajectory would also remain equally important.

The levels of 8235 and 8310 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports would come in at 8190 and 8150 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 44.9466 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD still continues to remain bearish trading below its signal line but has flattened out.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have shed over 22.45 lakh shares or 10.19% in Open Interest. The January futures have added over 27.22 lakh shares or 75.33% in Open Interest. The rollovers have been seen but at the same time, most of the pullback has come in form of short covering. It would be important for the Markets to see fresh buying and addition of OI for it to continue with its up move.

Going by pattern analysis, the Markets have resisted to its 50-DMA which is 8235. On its way down, the Markets had broken the support of its 50-DMA and therefore, this level of 50-DMA is now acting as its resistance on its way up. It would be important for the Markets to move past and end above the 50-DMA levels in order to avoid any weakness from creeping in again. Moving past 50-DMA would be important for the Markets to continue with its up move / pullback.

Overall, while continuing with policy of maintaining limited exposure in the Markets, some minor purchases in very selective manner can be made. Even if we see some minor range bound swings, they would remain rollovers dominated and therefore stock specific action and sectoral out performance would remain. While remaining highly selective and stock specific, positive caution is advised for the day.
