MARKET REPORT                                                                                      February 10, 2014
Volatility refused to go away on Friday as well as the  Markets saw a very sharp and volatile movements on either side before it ended the day with modest gains. The Markets opened on a positive note following supportive global cues and remained decently positive in the first half of the session while it gave its intraday high of 6079.95. However, the Markets again saw a sharp paring of gains due to what it looked like a basket sell. It came off from its highs, and after some accumulation, lost further ground to dip marginally into negative and formed its day’s low of 6030.90. However, the last 45 minutes of the trade saw a equally sharp recovery from the lower levels. The Markets managed to recoup most of its gains and it finally ended the day at 6063.20,l posting a net gain of 26.90 points or 0.45% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The Markets are expected to open on a positive note and continue with its up move, at least in the initial session. The oversold US Markets have continued to inch up ward and the global cues remain supportive. The Markets are likely to open positive, and proceed towards its one of the important resistance levels of 100-DMA, and is likely to consolidate around those levels again.

Today, the levels of 6100 and 6135 are important resistance levels on the Daily Charts. The supports exist at 6070 and 5980 levels at Close.

The lead indicators continue to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 39.90 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line. However, it is attempting to change its course towards moving for a positive crossover in coming days.

On the derivative front, NIFTY February futures have shed over 6.54 lakh shares or 4.08% in open interest. This shows that the in the volatility that we saw on Friday, some offloading of positions have been witnessed. This is likely to keep the Markets under more consolidation and capped range while it attempts to move ahead.

Going by the pattern analysis on the Charts, the Markets have attempted to find a bottom after taking support on its 200-DMA thrice. While it attempts to confirm the bottom, some consolidation and minor profit taking  after a pullback cannot be ruled out. During such times, it would be necessary for the Markets to overall form a higher top and bottom and forms a rising channel after the recent lows.

All and all, so far as today’s session goes, the Markets are likely to open positive. However, it would  be important to hold on and capitalize on the gains and maintain a positive trajectory. Given the over all technical condition, there are chances that the Markets consolidates here, or above from here near its 10—DMA levels. Given this, it is necessary to continue to remain light on positions and protect profits vigilantly at any level. Overall, positive caution is advised for Markets today.

The Markets opened on a modestly positive note and formed its intraday high of 6048.35 in the early morning trade. However, after trading briefly in a capped range the Markets saw a very sudden and sharp fall. It dipped very sharply in the negative in a vertical fall and formed its intraday low of 5965.40.

It finally managed to end the day at 6036.30 posting a nominal gain of 13.90 points or 0.23% while forming a higher top and similar bottom on the Daily Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The Markets have taken support for three times in last three session and have successfully managed to keep its head above the levels of 200-DMA at Close. Today, expect the Markets to open on a decently positive  note and continue with its up move. The global cues are supportive as the US Markets too have ended in the green after a pullback post falling below its 200-DMA. The intraday trajectory would continue remain important.

For today, the levels of 6075 and 6135 would act as immediate resistance on the Charts. The supports exists at 5977 and 5940 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 36.67 and it continues to remain neutral without showing any bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY February futures have shed 3.41 lakh shares or 2.08% in open interest. This shows some profit taking has been seen in the rise that we saw yesterday and the pullback may be because of short covering from lower levels. In either case, this signifies that a bottom has been attempted at the levels near the 200-DMA.It remains to be seen if we see fresh long positions getting built up after this. In any case, both FIIs and DIIs have remained net buyers in both derivative and cash segments yesterday.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have attempted to find a bottom and reverse its trend. It is likely to continue with the advance today with a positive opening and might resist around its 100-DMA levels. It would consolidate around those levels again and only after that it can be confirmed that a trend reversal has happened if it moves beyond those critical resistance levels.

Overall, today, we are set to see a positive opening and the positive moves shall continue. The intraday trajectory would be important and the Markets will have to remain in rising trajectory in order to capitalize on the gains. Select buying can be done while protecting profits at higher levels. Overall, cautiously positive outlook is advised for today.
