Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, November 06, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                        November 06, 2012
Markets had an extremely range bound session yesterday wherein it managed to end the day with very nominal gains after a range bound trade. The Markets opened on a quiet note and traded positive with very limited and capped gains. It traded sideways in the first half of the session then slipped into the red. It went on to give day’s low of 5679.50 in the afternoon trade. Thereafter, in the last hour and half of trade, the Markets saw some recovery from the day’s low. It crawled back into the positive territory and finally ended the day at 5704.20, ending the day with very nominal gain of 6.50 points or 0.11% forming a parallel bar on the Daily High Low charts.

Today, we can fairly expect a flat to mildly negative start to the session and the Markets are likely to trade directionless, at least in the initial trade. The Markets are just not completely out of the woods and the intraday trajectory that the Markets forms would be critical to decide the trend for today.

The analysis would run somewhat same until the Markets remains in such technical formation. The levels of5730-5740 shall continue to remain resistance and the levels of 5630 would continue to act as supports.

The lead indicators point towards nothing and they show neutral to downward bias. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 56.6993 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence and also it does not show any failure swings. The Daily MACD continue to remain bearish as it continues to trade below its signal line.

Both NIFTY and Stock futures have continued to add nominal open interest. NIFTY has added a very nominal open interest of 0.63%. So have the total stock futures.

Having said this, looking at the pattern analysis and the F&O statistics, the Markets are likely to remain in a broad range of 5740-5630 with a downward bias. No sustainable up move shall occur until the Markets moves past the levels of 5740-5830.

All and all, continuation of such directionless trade is likely and selective out  performance would be seen. With no breakout on either side, the Markets will continue to remain in broad range while seeing intermittent pullbacks. It is strongly advised to keep protecting profits on either side and taking fresh position in extremely selective manger. Neutral outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, November 02, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                   November 02, 2012
The Markets had a  relatively buoyant session yesterday, especially in the second half wherein it perked up yet again on back of short covering to end the day with modest gains after a subdued start. The Markets opened on a mildly negative note on expected lines and traded in a capped range in the morning trade while it gave its intraday low of 5601.95. However, after the late morning trade, the Markets came off its lows and recovered into the positive territory. It kept giving highs, though overall remaining in a capped range as it saw the levels of 5649.75 as its intraday high. It ended the day at 5645.05, posting a modest gain of 26.35 points or 0.45%  forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

Today would be critical session in the Markets. The Markets are likely to see a buoyant opening on back of positive global cues but at the same time shall open near its pattern resistance levels and thus it would be critically important to see if it sustains its opening gains. The intraday trajectory that the Markets shall form post opening today would be extremely important to see if the Markets are able to capitalize on the opening gains.

The levels of 5670 and 5710 shall act as resistance levels and the supports would now come at 5630 and 5560 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 50.7387 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish / bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

Having said this, it is important to note that NIFTY futures have continued to shed open interest by over 3.20 lakh shares or 1.86% and this clearly signifies that the rise that we saw was more of short covering than fresh buying. This trend – i.e. rise in NIFTY with shedding of Opening Interest, is being witnessed since last couple of session, especially last three sessions, clearly suggests that the Markets are just not completely out of the woods.

Having said this, it is likely that the Markets see positive opening and then transforms into a falling trajectory to come off its highs. This likelihood grows even more as the opening levels of the Markets that would be pattern resistance in form of falling trend line shown in the Charts.

All and all, buoyant opening is likely but it would be extremely important to see if the Markets sustains those opening gains and remains in positive rising trajectory for the day. Retail investors are advised to now avoid aggressive buying again and protect profits on either side. While remaining selective on the stocks, cautious approach is advised for today.
