Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, March 31, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                March 31, 2014
After a range bound session, the Markets continued with its unabated up move as it once again ended the day with gains. The Markets opened on a positive note and remained in the positive territory throughout the session. However, post positive opening, the Markets traded in a narrow range with capped gains and also formed its intraday low of 6643.80 in the afternoon trade but still continued to remain in the positive territory. The last hour and half of the session once again saw a spurt in the Markets. It went on to form its day’s high of 6702.60 and hovered around those levels in until the end of the session. It managed to end the day at 6695.90, posting a decent gain of 54.15 points or 0.82% while continuing to form a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to once again open on a positive note and continue with its up move, at least in the initial trade. However, we would now like to point out that on immediate short term basis, the Markets now trade in extremely “overbought” and precarious positions and we now very clearly advice to refrain from making any fresh purchases as some correction from higher levels is now imminent.

Today, the markets continue to remain in uncharted territory and the levels of 6430 may act as resistance. Supports exist at 6640 and 6590 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 78.4702 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. But at the same time, it continues to remain in extremely overbought condition. The Daily MACD trades above its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 69.0647 and this too has reached its highest value in last 14-days. The Weekly MACD too trades above it signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY April futures have added over 8.28 lakh shares or 5.15% in Open Interest. This very clearly indicates that there has been continuation of build up of long positions in the Markets.

Importantly, as very evident from the Daily Charts, the Markets have been trading in extremely “overbought “ condition. Further to this, this has sustained in overbought condition due to very strong and unabated cash flows from the FIIs. At this juncture, we would like to sound a great caution that despite every thing, the technicals ultimately tend over and technical reading suggest that a mild correction is almost imminent in order to sustain a healthy up move. Further to this, we would also like to caution that the PE notes, through which the money has been falling are known to cause a equally sharp correction when they are done with it.

All and all, we should a caution on the high extent of the overbought condition of the Markets. We strongly advise to refrain from creating fresh long positions and protect any profits at higher levels. We might see some weariness in the Markets at higher levels. While avoiding creating fresh positions, high degree of caution is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, March 28, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                March 28, 2014
The overbought markets continued with its unabated up move while it corrected a bit in the last hour of the trade but still continued to end the day on fresh life time highs. The Markets opened on a positive note and kept gaining gradual strength in the first half of the session. The Markets saw a sharp spurt on the upside in the afternoon trade wherein it went on to record its fresh lifetime highs of 6673.95. However, the last hour of the trade saw some sharp paring of gains as the Markets came off its highs. It gave away more than half of its gains in the last thirty minutes of the trade. It hovered around those levels and but still managed to end the day at 6641.75, posting a net gain of 40.35 points or 0.61% while continuing to form a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The March series have ended with much buoyancy and the April series is slated to open on a  positive note as well. The F&O data shows that the strength persists in the Markets but it is high time that the Markets should show some consolidation and today it is likely that post positive opening, the Markets are in the correction mode, or at least consolidate from higher levels.

Today, the levels of 6573.95 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. This level has become a immediate top for the Markets and there would be no further sustainable up move until the Markets move past the levels of 6573-6600 levels. Supports exist at 6510 and 6425 levels.

The lead indicators continue to remain weary. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 75.6619 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bearish. It does not show any bullish or bearish divergence but continues to remain heavily “overbought”. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it trades above its signal line. 

On the derivative front, the NIFTY April series have begun with fresh addition of Open Interest. This is bullish. Also, the NIFTY PCR is as low as 0.81 and this is at very comforting levels. The main reason for this is that the shorts that were covered up in the March have NOT been rolled over into April. Only longs have been rolled over.

Going by the patter analysis, the Markets continue to trade in overbought  territory. Though it has achieved a breakout, there are fair chances that it now comes in corrective more and consolidates in a given range. In order to have this breakout sustain some amount of consolidation now become imminent.

All and all, we are set to see some positive opening again but it is high time that it sees some consolidation. The breakout that it has achieved shall be difficult to sustain if such unabated rise continues. Though this is supported by heavy liquidity, it would tend to get unhealthy if some consolidation is not seen. It is strongly advised not to resort to blanked buying and protect existing profits very vigilantly. Heavy caution is advised for today.
