Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, June 02, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                           June ,2014
The Markets on Friday continued to remain in corrective mode as it ended the day with nominal losses after coming off from its opening highs. The Markets opened on a positive note and after briefly dipping in the red, it moved back into the green. In the morning trade the Markets went on to form the day’s high of 7272.50. However, since then from late morning trade until the end of the session, the Markets altered its trajectory and formed a falling channel and it kept paring its gains gradually. By the end of the session, the Markets had pared all of its gains and also dipped into the negative territory. It finally ended the day at 7229.95, posting a net loss of 5.70 points or 0.08% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to open on a quiet note and look for directions. To a larger extent, the Markets are likely to remain in corrective frame of mind as the dismal GDP Data and the likelihood of the RBI not changing the key rates would weigh on the Markets. Though technical pullbacks cannot be ruled out, the overall approach of the Markets is likely to that of continuing correction / consolidation.

The levels of 7255 and 7290 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports exist much lower at 7175 and 7110.

The lead indicators continue to point towards continuing correction in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 64.4901 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. The RSI has formed a new 14-day low but NIFTY has not yet and this is clear Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD too has reported a negative crossover and it now trades below its  signal line which is bearish. On the Weekly Charts, Weekly RSI stands “overbought” at 72.4029 and Weekly MACD trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY June futures have added over 13.04 lakh shares or 8.47% in  Open Interest. With the premiums shrinking, it is a clear indication that the fresh shorts have been initiated in the index futures while offloading continued in the stock futures positions.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have pattern support at 7060 levels and the Markets, if not directly, may indirectly test those levels in the immediate short term though intermittent consolidation and pullbacks. 

All and all, the Markets are clearly in stage of consolidation with corrective bias. This is particularly evident in the lead indicators and the Markets will find reasons to drag itself down while reacting to RBI not raising key rates tomorrow and discouraging GDP and inflation numbers. However, since shorts exist in the system, intermittent pullbacks cannot be ruled out but overall bias still continues to be of downside. Any purchases, if any, should be made very selectively. While protecting profits at higher levels vigilantly, cautious approach should be continued in the Markets today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, May 30, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                       May 30, 2014
The Markets continued to witness corrective pressure on the expiry day yesterday as it opened negative, remained negative throughout the session and ended the day with deep losses. The  Markets opened on a modestly negative note and in the morning trade moved sideways with a downward bias and traded in a capped range. The Markets continued to drift down while remaining in a falling channel. In the second half of the session, the Markets saw the selling pressure being intensified as it went on to drift further down and saw itself forming the day’s low of 7224.40. The Markets did not see any recovery coming in and it finally ended the day at 7235.65 with a net loss of 94 points or 1.28% while forming a sharply lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY 

Today as well, expect the Markets to open on a flat to mildly negative note and look for directions. In all likelihood the Markets would continue to witness corrective actions and is likely to drift lower. If no direct correction is seen, it may also continue to consolidate in a capped range with downward bias. The intraday trajectory would continue to remain critical and some amount of volatility may remain ingrained in the trade.

For today, the levels of 7265 and 7280 would act as immediate resistance on the Daily Charts. The levels of 7185 and 7120 are immediate supports for the Markets.

The lead indicators continue to show weariness in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 65.11 and though it is neutral and shows no bullish or bearish divergences or any failure swings, it has moved below from being in “oversold territory”. This is bearish for the immediate short term as any up move may again make the markets overbought. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY witnessed marginally lesser than average rollovers. Similar was the case with market wide stock rollovers. They continued to remain marginally lower barring some specific power stocks and stocks belonging to Adani Group.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets is seeing a much needed correction and if this continues it would be in fact healthy for the Markets. The Markets are likely to test the double bottom support of 7050 if it continues to drift in this manner. However, while reaching here, it may continue to witness intermittent pullbacks but this would be more of consolidation in a trading band rather than any sustainable up moves.

All and all, with the above mentioned technicals, we reiterate the focus on maintaining very light exposures in the Markets. Sectoral out performance would be seen so any dip can be utilized to make very selective stock specific purchases while protecting any profits on existing positions. More liquidity should be maintained and cautious outlook should be continued in the Markets today.
