Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, July 01, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                         July 01, 2013
The Markets saw a very sharp and strong continuation of pullback of Friday as well, in fact much stronger as expected as it opened higher and sustained and strengthened its gains to end the day with robust gains. The Markets opened on a positive and strong note on Friday and remained in upward rising trajectory for the entire session. There was no part of the day the Markets saw any pressure coming it. The sharp pullback was not only attributed to sharp short covering but these shorts were also largely seen being replaced with fresh longs. The Markets went on to move past its 200-DMA and 100-DMA as well and gave its intraday high of 5852.95. After hovering around those levels for a while, it finally ended the day at 5842.20, posting a robust gain of 159.85 points or 2.81% while forming a sharply higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY
Markets have risen over 260-odd points from the Thursday’s intraday lows to give two days of a very smart pullback. There are fair chances that he Markets consolidates for a while now. Today, expect the Markets to open on a flat to mildly positive note and look for directions. The intraday trajectory would continue to remain important. The Markets may consolidate between its two DMAs, 100 and 200.

For today, the levels of 5875 and 5910 would act as immediate resistance on the Daily Charts. On the downside, 5848 and 5821 which is the 200-DMA should act as support. Below this, the supports come in at 5775.

The lead indicators indicate continuation of bullish trend in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 52.2230 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. Further to this, the RSI has set a new 14-day high while NIFTY has not yet. This is Bullish Divergence. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line, but is moving towards reporting a positive crossover. On the Candles, A rising window occurred  (where the top of the previous shadow is below the bottom of the current shadow).  This usually implies a continuation of a bullish trend.  There have been 4 rising windows in the last 50 candles--this makes the current rising window even more bullish.

On the Weekly Charts, RSI is 50.5896 and remains neutral with no divergences or failure swings. The Weekly MACD too remain bearish as it trades below its signal line but moving towards reporting a positive crossover.

On the Weekly Candles, An engulfing bullish line occurred (where a white candle's real body completely contains the previous black candle's real body).  The engulfing bullish pattern is bullish during a downtrend (which appears to be the case with NIFTY).  It then signifies that the momentum may be shifting from the bears to the bulls.

On the derivative front, NIFTY July futures have added over 24.16 lakh shares or over massive 20.27% in Open Interest. This is very important indicator which show that not only there was a sharp short covering, but the same was being replaced with fresh longs.

All and all, with over 260-odd points of rise in last two days, there are chances that the market consolidates for a day or so. However, in any case, this would be healthy behaviour, even if its consolidates as this makes the rise sustainable and healthy in the long run. Also such behaviour of the Markets would set the grounds for further up move.

Overall, positive opening expected and the Markets may continue with its pullback. However, even if it consolidates, it would be healthy as mentioned above. Even if the Markets have risen over 260-odd points in last two sessions, we continue to strictly advise against creating any short positions. While fresh longs may be made, existing positions maybe held on to. Positive outlook is advised as undertone remains strong and bullish even if mild consolidation is seen.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, June 28, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                         June 28, 2013
The Markets staged a very smart pullback yesterday, much on expected lines which strengthened in the second half as the Markets ended the day with robust gains. The Markets opened the day on a positive note on back of favourable technicals, F&O data and global cues and traded sideways while maintaining its gains in the morning trade. After trading sideways in the first half of the session while smartly sustaining its gains, the gains in the Markets intensified further in the second half. The Markets perked up further and went on to give the day’s high of 5699.35. The Markets hovered around those levels  in the second half and finally ended the day at 5682.35, posting a robust gain of 93.65 points or 1.68% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKTE TREND FOR TODAY

Today, technically speaking, since the Markets have ended near the high point of the day, they are expected to open positive and continue with their up move. However, today, we are set for something better than just a positive opening. Expect a gap up opening again today and the Markets are expected to open on a strong and gap up note and look for directions. The opening levels would be just around its 200-DMA and it would be important to see the behaviour of the Markets and the intraday trajectory it forms post opening.

For today, the immediate resistance on the Charts post opening would be the levels of 5755 and 5618, which is the 200-DMA for the Markets.

The lead indicators continue to show positive bias. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 40.6859 and it is neutral as it shows no failure swings or any kind of bullish or bearish divergences. The Daily MACD is bearish as it trades below its signal line but is moving towards an positive crossover. 

On the derivative front,  NIFTY Futures have went on to add yet another over 22.50 lakh shares in Open Interest and the NIFTY PCR has begun the month at 1.08.

All factors, global cues, the overall technicals and also the F&O data which have been showing huge additions in open interest in last couple of session will provide a very solid platform for a gap up opening today. The increase in gas prices too will have its share of positive sentimental effect. The opening would be around its 200-DMA levels and the reaction to the Markets around those levels would be important.

All and all, we are set to have a good day ahead. Our strict advice of not shorting in last couple of sessions in paying off now as such sharp pullback was imminent and over due. Even if the Markets opens around its 200-DMA or notch below it, there are chances of a very mild profit taking and even if the Markets consolidates around those levels, the bias remains positive and the undertone certainly remains bullish as of now. Overall, positive outlook is advised for today.
