Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, September 27, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                            September 27, 2013
The Markets had an absolutely flat session yesterday on the expiry day as it saw one of the narrowest and flat sessions, especially given the expiry of the series. The Markets opened on a flat note and after briefly trading in the positive, dipped into the red to give the day’s low of 5864.10. The Markets crawled back into the green after this but spent the major part of the session in 20-odd point range until late afternoon trade. The Markets saw a sudden spurt in the late afternoon trade as it went on to give the day’s high of 5917.65. However, it thoroughly failed to sustain these levels as it pared all of those gains to trade absolutely flat. It finally ended the day at 5882.25, posting a minor gain of 8.40 points or 0.14% while forming a slightly higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

 As evident from the Charts, the Markets have been severely consolidating and therefore, today as well, like past two days, the analysis remains more or less on similar lines. Expect a flat opening in the Markets and the way it has been doing, it will need to keep its head above the levels of 200-DMA which is 5841.50 in order to avoid weakness. The intraday trajectory and the behaviour of Markets vis-à-vis this level would continue to remain crucially important.

The levels of 5920 and 5965 are immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports exist at 5841.50 in form of 200-DMA and 5816 in form of 100-DMA. Any breach below these levels is likely to bring in further weakness in the Markets.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 55.9687 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it continue to trade above its signal line but as mentioned yesterday, it is moving towards reporting a negative crossover. On the Candles, A Spinning Top has occurred. If this happens during a up move, it suggests possibility of the momentum slowing down and indicates a potential mild correction.

On the derivative front, average rollovers were seen in Market wide and NIFTY segments. Minor open interest was reduced while the Markets remained absolutely flat yesterday.

Given the pattern analysis and the F&O data, as mentioned earlier, the Markets have remained severely in consolidation phase and therefore the analysis too remains in similar lines. The Markets have managed to keep its head above the levels of 200-DMA and it will be important that it trades above  200-DMA in order to avoid any weakness creeping in. Any breach below this level will mean further weakness for the Markets.

All and all, given this, since the Markets have not breached any significant levels as of now, shorts should be strictly avoided and fresh purchases maybe made on a very selective basis. Sectoral out performance would continue. Since the directional consensus has been missing it is advised to take aggressive positions on either side and keep protecting profits wherever possible. Overall, cautious outlook is continued for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, September 26, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                          September 26, 2013
The Markets continued with its consolidation as tested its both, 200 and 100DMA on the downside but ultimately saw some recovery to end the day with minor losses and also remain above its 200-DMA. The Markets opened on a modestly positive note and formed its intraday high of 5910.55 in the early minutes of the trade. The Markets traded briefly in the positive but thereafter lost ground to trade in the red. The Markets kept losing ground rapidly and went on to give the day’s low of 5811.10 in the afternoon trade. However, in the final hour and half of trade, the Markets saw some short covering from lower levels as it managed to recover some of its losses. It managed to came above its 200-DMA again and finally ended the day at 5873.85, posting a minor loss of 18.60 points or 0.32% while continuing to form a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, we enter the expiry day of the current September derivative series and the session is bound to remain dominated with rollover centric activities. The analysis for today remains again on similar ground as the Markets continue to consolidate. We can expect a flat to modestly negative opening today and the behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis its 200 and 100DMA would be crucial.  The intraday trajectory would continue to remain critically important.

For today, the levels of 5910 and 5935 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The levels of 5841 which is the 200-DMA and 5818 which is the 100-DMA would act as immediate supports. Any dip below these levels will bring in further weakness in the Markets.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 55.5916 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swing. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it trades above its signal line, but is moving towards giving a negative crossover in coming days. 

On the derivative front, reduction is seen in total Open Interest in NIFTY and Stock futures alike. Signifies that the spurt that we saw yesterday was totally rollover centric and was on account of short covering in the Markets. 

Given the pattern analysis and the F&O data, we are very much likely to see the Markets remain in consolidation phase for some time. This phase will keep the Markets in a  broad trading range with little weaker bias. As mentioned earlier, any dip below the 200 or 100DMA shall make the Markets weaker and the  levels of 6130 have become an immediate top for the Markets.

All and all, today we can fairly expect a range bound trade today. Along with being range bound, it is likely to remain volatile as well given the expiry day today. We continue to advise to remain highly selective in making fresh purchases. Both, short positions as well as any type of aggressive positions should be avoided as the Markets are yet to determine directional certainty. Overall,  continuance of cautious outlook is advised for today.
