Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, October 1 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                             October 11, 2013
Yesterday was a day of positive consolidation in the Markets as the Markets opened modestly positive but traded volatile on the both sides while finally ended with minor gains. The Markets opened on a modestly positive note and after trading positive in a very narrow and capped range, it dipped into the red to give the day’s low of 5979.80. Post this formation of low, the Markets gradually crawled back into the green and went on to give day’s high of 6033.95. The markets pared this recovery as well to trade flat again in the late afternoon trade. It saw some recovery towards the end again and it finally ended the day at 6020.95, posting a minor gain of 13.50 points or 0.22% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Taking cue from the positive and strong global Markets, our markets as well are likely to open on a stronger. The Markets would be affected by the Infosys results today and also if it follows global cues and opens strong, it would open near the temporary top that it had formed and it would be critically important to see if the Markets sustain the opening strength and capitalize on the strong opening.

For today, the levels of 6075 and 6130 are immediate resistance levels on the Charts. Supports exist much lower at 5965 and 5910 levels.

There are signs of weariness on the lead indicators. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 61.9990 and it shows no failure swing. However, NIFTY has set a new 14-day high while RSI has not and this is BEARISH DIVERGENCE. The Daily MACD is bullish as it trades above its signal line. 

On the derivative front, NIFTY October futures have added 5.99 lakh shares or 3.69% in open interest. This shows that in yesterday’s consolidation no major unwinding was reported and some moderate buying was seen.

Given the above reading, the Markets would open on a critical juncture with two possibilities. First, in case of any bad outcome of Infosys results, it may give knee jerk reactions and may not open with expected strength. On the other hand, if the Markets follows global cues and opens strong, it would open near its key resistance levels it would be critically important to see if it sustain the opening levels. With the bearish divergence on the RSI, some signs of weariness and tiredness is already present in the Markets.

All and all, with this in view, opening levels and the trajectory that the Markets form post opening would be critically important. Even with the positive and stronger opening, we would advice remaining ultra selective in creating fresh positions. Profits in existing positions should be very vigilantly protected even if means booking profit bit early. Overall, cautious outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, October 10, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                              October 10,2013
The Markets had a robust session after a weak opening yesterday wherein it opened negative, formed the day’s low in and then recovered over 110-odd points to end the day near the high point of the day. The rally was fuelled by a positive trade data which saw the trade deficit narrowing and touching a 30-month low. The Markets opened weak and formed its day’s low of 5877.10 in the morning trade. However, soon after this, the Markets transformed itself into rising trajectory and for the rest of the session kept gradually making new highs. It came back into the green and went on to give the day’s high of 6015.50. It maintained those levels and finally ended the day at 6007.45, posting a net gain of 79.05 points or 1.33% while forming a higher top but lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to take a breather and open on a negative note. The Markets are expected to open on a lower note again and look for directions. The consolidation would be seen again today and the intraday trajectory would continue to remain important. The further up move would be seen only if the Markets move past the levels of 6035.
The levels of 6035 and 6070 are immediate resistance levels on the charts. The supports exist at 5920 levels and further down at 5840 levels. This keeps the Markets in a broad trading range.
The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 61.3629 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD, as we had reported yesterday has today given a positive crossover and it is now bullish as it trades above its signal line. However, on the Candles, An Engulfing Bullish Line has occurred. If the engulfing bullish pattern occurs during an uptrend (which appears to be the case with NIFTY), it may be a last engulfing top which indicates a top.  The test to see if this is the case is if the next candle closes below the top of the current (white) candle's real body.
On the derivative front, the NIFTY October futures have added over 7.82 lakh shares or 5.05% in Open Interest. This is a positive indication as this shows that fresh longs were added after two days of short covering and shedding of Open Interest.
Taking into account the pattern analysis, lead indicators and the F&O data, it can be fairly be concluded that the Markets have finally attempted to form a bottom at its 200-DMA, at least as of now and we can expect a certain upward bias. However, looking at a candle formation, there are mild chances that the Markets consolidates again for a while. However, this would be a range bound consolidation, if at all it happens as the Markets still continue to remain in a broad trading range.
All and all, though we may see a mildly negative opening, we will see the Markets consolidation in the initial trade and remain in a broad trading range. Though it has not achieved a confirmed break out as yet, the bias certainly remains positive. However, the Markets still continues to remain in a broad trading range. Any position that is taken should be taken very selectively and profits should still be vigilantly protected. Positive outlook with mild caution is advised for today.
