Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, August 30, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2016
The Markets traded precisely on analyzed lines yesterday as the opening and the early morning lows acted as major support for the Markets. The Markets rose over 75-odd points from the lows of the day to end the day with modest gains. Today, we can fairly expect the Markets to open on a positive note and continue with its up move at least in the initial trade. Yesterday’ support has kept the Markets into the congestion zone once again and we will see the Markets in this area with positive bias.

For today, the levels of 8640 and 8675 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 8580 and 8530 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 52.1590 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD stays bearish as it continues to trade below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY September futures have added over 4.63 lakh shares in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.05 as against 1.04 yesterday.

On the pattern analysis front, we had very strongly expected the Markets to take support around 8520-8530 levels. The Markets did take support around these levels and therefore kept themselves in the narrow consolidation zone that it has been trading in since beginning of August. Having said this, the levels of 8530-8520 will continue to act as important immediate support levels for the Markets. The Markets will continue to consolidate so long as they trade above these levels. If these levels are breached, we may see the Markets testing its 50-DMA. On the upper side, the levels of 8700-8728 will continue to act as immediate resistance for the Markets. No amount of pullbacks will see the runaway rise in the Markets until they move past these 8700-8728 levels comprehensively.

Overall, though the Markets have shown good amount of volatility ingrained in it, the inherent buoyancy remains intact. On the other hand, with the Markets yet to move past its critical resistance levels, such intermittent bouts will continue to exist and this will keep the Markets in a capped range and under consolidation with some volatility accompanying it. All dips should be utilized to make fresh purchases so long as the Markets are trading above mentioned critical support levels.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, August 29, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 2016
The Markets continued to remain in corrective mode on Friday as it ended the day with modest losses after coming off from its opening highs. Today, the Markets pose themselves at critically important levels. Markets are expected to open on a modestly negative note and this will see the Markets opening at around Friday’s low levels. These levels are minor pattern support on the Daily Charts and it would be important to see the behavior of the Markets vis-à-vis these levels. Therefore, it would be important to see the intraday trajectory that the Markets form post opening.

Today, the levels of 8625 and 8700 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 8540 and 8510 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 48.7796 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. However, it does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line. 
On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 63.9367 and this remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Weekly MACD is bullish as it trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY September futures have added over 9.17 lakh shares or 3.48% in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.02 as against 0.88.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have been in upward rising channel drawn from lows of February and earlier this month, it halted its up move while it formed its intermediate top of 8728. Since these levels, the Markets have remained in consolidation and have been trading in a capped range all through this month. The movement has remained sideways and the correction has remained in form of limited decline and more of intermittent intraday selling bouts.  Around same levels earlier this month, the Markets also signaled a halt in the up move on the Weekly Charts as well as this up move has been interrupted by a Hanging Man  kind of Candle formation. Since then, over two weeks we have seen a sideways movement in the Markets and it has remained in a corrective / consolidation mode.

Today, with the modestly negative opening expected, the levels of 8540 will be important to watch out for. Any dip below this level will increase the Markets of testing its 50-DMA which rests at 8482 levels today. If the Markets defend the levels of 8540, we will continue to see them trading in a capped range. Volatility will continue to remain ingrained in the Markets and we will also see sectoral out performance taking place in selective spaces.
