Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, June 15, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                   June 15, 2012
Caution weighed heavy on the Markets yesterday as the Markets took some breather and corrected itself as it ended the day with losses after moderately positive opening as it reacted to Inflation number which were perceived to be high enough to discourage RBI from any aggressive rate cut on Monday. The Markets opened and traded in a range ahead of announcements of Inflation numbers and saw a spurt just ahead of that as it gave its intraday high of 5130. It turned negative soon after that as it kept steadily losing ground and went on to give the day’s low of 5047.60. It finally ended the day at 5054.75, posting a net loss of 66.70 points or 1.30%. It has formed a lower top and sharply lower bottom on the Daily Charts. The volumes remained  below average.

Today would be a crucially important session for the Markets. The Markets have ended the notch below 200-DMA which is 5070. With moderately positive opening expected today, it would be important for the Markets to open above 200-DMA and sustain the levels above 200-DMA at Close to avoid this consolidation taking a further weakening stance.

The levels of 5495 and 5125 are immediate resistance levels  and the levels of 5020 and 5005 are immediate supports on the Daily Charts.

The lead indicators continue to comfortably remain in place with RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart at 53.9635 and it remains neutral with no failure swings or negative or positive divergence. The Daily MACD too remains bullish as it trades above the signal line. 

The Stock Futures  have recorded a moderate decline in net Open Interest and also the NIFTY futures. However, the NIFTY PCR still leaves significant room on the upside, but the levels of 5144 would continue to act as immediate top for the Markets.

Today’s session would see the consolidation to continue. With the Markets expected to open above 200-DMA, it would be critically important for the Markets to remain in positive upward trajectory and sustain the levels above of 200-DMA to avoid any further weakness. For this, the intraday trajectory would be important. Even if the Markets consolidates, and maintains the levels above of 200-DMA. It would still be in the broad range of 5050-5144 and fresh up move shall occur only after the Markets moves past  the levels of 5144.

All and all, until the Markets moves past the levels of 5144, consolidating activities shall remain and volatility will refuse to go away. Further weakness would creep in only if the Markets significantly closes below 200-DMA otherwise, it is expected to trade in the broad range. It is advised to maintain liquidity and refrain from any aggressive positions on either side. Overall, continuation of cautious approach is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, June 14, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                   June 14, 2012
The Markets staged a perfect consolidation yesterday on the Daily Charts as it ended the day flat with negligible gains after moving in either directions. The Markets opened moderately lower  and after trading in a range, gave its intraday low of 5095.45 in the later morning session. The Markets thereafter, as it has been doing in couple of previous sessions saw a sharp recovery. It recovered all of its losses and also went on to give the intraday high of 5144.90. However, it pared its gains later in the session and ended the day at 5121.45, posting a negligible gain of 5.55 points or 0.11%. It has formed a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

We expect the phase of consolidation to continue in the Markets ahead to two important external events. The Inflation numbers shall come in today and based on that, the Markets will have expectations on the RBI monetary policy to be announced on Monday in which there is consensus expectation of a rate cut. The Markets, until the announcements come in, are likely to remain in a range, and bit volatile.

The levels of 5148 and 5195 shall act as immediate resistance on the Charts and the levels of 5080 and 5068 shall act as supports.

The lead indicators continue to remain in place which indicates the underlying current to be intact. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 61.0689 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. It does not show any negative / positive divergence. The Daily MACD to remains bullish as it trades above its signal line. 

The NIFTY and Stocks futures have added in net open interest. The NIFTY PCR is at 1.48 and this still leaves a decent gap for continuation of up move.

Having said this, there are non-technical events that shall have impact on the Markets in the coming week. The Greece outcome, the inflation numbers coming in today and the RBI Monetary Policy announcements on Monday will have Markets reacting to it. However, the undercurrent, as mentioned earlier, still remains very much intact.

All  and all, the reading and conclusion remains very much the same like that of yesterday. The Markets are consolidating, but are trading above its critical support levels at Close. In such consolidating Markets, shorts should be strictly avoid unless there are explicit triggers. Longs too should not be aggressively taken. Highly selective approach with vigilant profit protection should be maintained. Overall, cautious optimism is advised for the day.
