Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, December 10, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                    December 10, 2015
The Markets continued to disappoint and ended with losses for the sixth day in a row as it widened its losses after a negative opening. The Markets opened on a relatively resilient note and attempted to defend its pattern support of 7680 levels in the initial trade while it formed its day’s high of 7702.85. However, weakness crept in as the session progressed and by late afternoon trade, the Markets breached its support of 7680. It continued in sideways trajectory in the afternoon trade and was not successful I in moving past the pattern resistance levels. In the second half, more so in the last hour of the trade, the losses widened as the Markets lost ground rapidly. It went on to form the day’s low of 7606.90. It finally settled the day at 7612.50, posting a net loss of 89.20 points or 1.16% while forming a sharply lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2015
Markets have come off nearly 320-odd points in last six sessions. Today as well, though we can expect a modestly positive but quiet opening, the upsides will remain capped to the extent of pattern resistance that he Markets have broken. Though there are faint chances of technical pullback the upsides will remain limited until the Markets confirm any signs of bottom formation. Slightest of the weakness will see the Markets testing its 52-week lows and another pattern support of 7545 levels.

For today, the levels of 7645 and 7680 will remain resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 7580 and 7545 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 29.4823 and it now trades in oversold territory. Though it does not show any bullish or bearish divergence, it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have added over 2.93 lakh shares or 1.52% in Open Interest. This signifies some creation of short positions as well. The NIFTY PCR stands unchanged at 0.78.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have breached one of its important triple bottom pattern supports of 7680 levels. This level, since now breached is likely to act as resistance in event of any technical pullback. The Markets may see mild technical pullback but the overall fabric has turned bearish and such pullbacks are likely to remain capped at 7680-7700 levels. Any weakness will see the Markets testing its 52-week lows of 7545 levels, which is also expected to act as support. However, given the oversold nature of the Markets, some technical pullbacks cannot be ruled out, even if it remains limited in nature.

Overall, today we can expect a quiet opening in the Markets. Some pullback may be seen later in the day but at the same time, it will continue to remain vulnerable to further selloffs from higher levels. However, any technical pullbacks / up moves should be utilized to book and protect swing profits but overall, it is advised to continue to remain very limited on exposures and avoid major purchases until the Markets shows some sign of bottom formation.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, December 09, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                        December 09, 2015
Markets saw a parabolic fall in the last hour of the trade and this had the Markets ending in the red for the fifth consecutive day.  The Markets saw a modestly negative opening but this w as quite resilient to the global Markets. The Markets showed quite good amount of resilience in the morning while it formed its intraday high of 7771.25 while it briefly traded in the positive in the late morning trade. However, it reversed its trajectory soon after that to trade into negative once again. The Markets continued to trade with modest losses for the most part of the session. It was the last hour of the trade that once again did maximum damage. The Markets saw a near straight-line fall and went on to form the day’s low of 7685.45. It finally settled the day at 7701.70, posting a net loss of 63.70 points or 0.82% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2015
The Markets have nearly tested its important pattern support of 7680 yesterday as evident from the Daily Charts. Today, a modestly lower opening is expected and this keeps the Markets at a very critical juncture. Today’s lower opening is likely to see the Markets opening below or very near to this important pattern support and it would be important for the Markets to protect the 7660-7680 levels by any means to avoid any serious weakness from creeping in.

For today, the levels of 7730 and 7765 will act as important resistance levels. The supports come in at 7680 and 7610 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 33.8617 and it does not show any failure swing. The NIFTY has formed a fresh 14-period low but RSI has not yet and this is Bullish Divergence. The Daily MACD has reported a negative crossover and is now bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have shed 89,925 shares or 0.46% in Open Interest. The figure remains negligible and shows no major unwinding of positions on net basis. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.78 as against 0.77.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have finally tested its pattern supports of 7680 levels as yesterday’s low was very near to that level. As of today, this level stands intact and it comes in the form of triple bottom formed since last September. This remains a important pattern support and any breach is likely to see some more weakness creeping in to the Markets. It would be of paramount important for the Markets to hold on to these levels. Today’s expected negative opening is likely to cause the Markets open below or very near to this support level and the Markets will have  to maintain this level by any means to avoid any weakness.

Overall, the Markets continue to wear a bearish undertone as of now. However, in the same breadth, the Markets have not breached its important support levels as yet. It would be important to see that the Markets maintain those levels and in case of expected negative opening, it improves as we go ahead in the session. While remaining away from creating any major exposures, cautious outlook should be continued for today.
