MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to open on a flat to mildly negative note and look for directions. The Markets have risen over past several sessions and the chances of positive consolidation cannot be ruled out. There are chances that we may see the session in a capped range with some minor profit taking being seen initially. However, the intraday trajectory would remain important as under current continues to have positive bias.

For today, the levels of 6310 and 6350 will act as immediate resistance levels. The supports would exist at 6245a and 6230 levels.

The lead indicators continue to remain perfectly in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 63.3690 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. It does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD is bullish as it trades above its signal line. 

On the derivative front, NIFTY March futures have added 98,300 shares in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR remains unchanged at 0.94. Fresh longs have seen to have been added in the second half of the session.

The Markets have successfully reversed their trend after taking support at its 200-DMA couple of times. Currently the Markets have successfully given a trend reversal and now trades above all of its DMAs. In even of consolidation, the Markets should see a range bound trade while trading above all of its DMAs. 

All and all, today, though some consolidation and mild profit taking cannot be ruled out, the overall under current certainly continues to remain bullish. In case of some downticks, shorts should be avoided and such situations should be used to make selective purchases as sectoral out performance would continue. Overall, while protecting profits at higher levels, positive outlook is advised for today.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have moved past its 100-DMA and 50-DMA at Close. If the consolidation has to the Markets will have to remain in a capped range with the levels of 100-DMA acting as bottom. The Markets will have to maintain levels above of 100-DMA or say, 6160-6150 range in order to avoid any weakness creeping in again and maintain its up move.
