MARKET REPORT                                                                               December 01, 2015

Markets spent a very capped and narrow session as the caution weighed in heavily ahead of two important numbers that the Markets expected. The Markets saw a quiet and subdued opening as it opened a bit lower. After trading briefly into a capped range the Markets formed its intraday high of 7966 in the early morning trade. Thereafter the Markets transformed itself into a sideways trajectory and spent the entire session in a very narrow and capped range. The Markets saw no directional bias at all as the entire session was spent in a narrow 25-odd points range. At one point in the late afternoon trade, the Markets slipped a bit to form the day’s low of 7922.80. However, it settled the day at 7935.25, posting a net loss of 7.45 points or 0.09% while forming a slightly higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR TUESDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2015

The GDP Numbers that came out stood at 7.4%, little better than the estimates of 7.3% and the IIP numbers too remained in line with the expectations. The Markets are set to open on a flat to quietly positive note following this and would look forward to RBI Credit Policy review which is slated to come up later today. However, it is important to note that with no rate cut expected this time, it is very much likely to remain a non-event.

For today, the levels of 7960 and 8010 will act as important resistance levels for today. The supports come in at 7905 and 7860 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 49.8733 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD continues to remain bullish as trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have added over 4.74 lakh shares or 2.54 lakh shares in Open Interest. Though the Markets have traded in a capped range, fresh positions have been built in the index as well as stock futures resulting in addition of Open Interest.

Coming to pattern analysis, the picture remains similar to what we explained in the yesterday’s edition. The Markets have attempted to form a base but are yet to confirm it. In event of any up move, they are likely to approach its pattern resistance levels of 8000 which also coincides with its 50-DMA. The Markets will need to move past these levels for any decisive directional call. Until the Markets resist these levels, we will continue to see a range bound congestion zone continuing to exist with the Markets remaining vulnerable to selling bouts.

Overall, the opening is expected to be quiet and positive and the Markets are likely to trade in a capped range until it reacts to the RBI Policy Review. With no rate cut expected, this too is likely to remain a non-event. The markets will be able to make a decisive directional call only after it moves past 8000-levels. Until this happens, it will continue to lack any directional bias though the undercurrent remains positive.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, November 30, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                               November 30, 2015

Markets witnessed a volatile session on Friday though it ended the day with modest gains. The Markets saw a stable opening on expected lines but after a range bound and capped trade in the morning, the Markets formed its intraday low of 7879.45. However, the Markets managed to crawl back to its opening levels and maintained those gains in the morning trade. It was the mid session trade that saw the Markets coming off rapidly from these levels. At one point, the Markets had pared nearly all of its gains. However, the last hour and trade saw the Markets scaling its earlier gains as well. It further went on to form the day’s high of 7959.30 in the last hour of the trade. It came off slightly from those levels and settled the day at 7942.70, posting a modest gain of 58.90 points or 0.75% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015

Markets have ended near their high point on Friday and speaking purely on technical terms, once can expect the Markets to open positive and continue with their up move. However, today, we can expect the Markets to open on a quiet note and look for directions. Markets will certainly wear a cautious outlook ahead of GDP numbers coming out today evening post market hours and also to the RBI Credit Policy review tomorrow. However, RBI credit policy is expected to remain a non-event.

For today, the levels of 7960 and 7995 will act as important resistance levels whereas the supports would come in at 7870 and 7845 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 50.4584 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. Also, the RSI has formed a fresh 14-period high whereas NIFTY has not yet and this is Bullish Divergence. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it trades above its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 45.0910 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Weekly MACD remains bearish as it still trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have shed 50,850 shares or 0.27% in Open Interest. We can fairly conclude that though the Markets have discomfort at lower levels and the shorts have been covered, we can also interpret that the Markets are continuing to wear a cautious outlook ahead of two important events – coming out of GDP Numbers and RBI Credit Policy Review.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have attempted to move out of the congestion zone that it had been trading in the last 15-17 sessions. However, it is important to note that though the Markets have attempted to move out of this congestion zone, it has not yet confirmed the breakout. Further to this, it is likely to approach its important pattern resistance at 8000-levels which also coincides with its 50-DMA. This may again cause the Markets to consolidate a bit more before it attempts to confirm the reversal.

All and all, given this reading on the technical charts, the undercurrent of the Markets remains cautious to mildly positive and bullish. However, again, as mentioned above, the Markets are yet to confirm its reversal and therefore continue to remain vulnerable to selling bouts from higher levels, especially given the pending two important events. Continuing highly stock specific approach with vigilant protection of profits at higher levels is advised for today.
