Daily Market Trend Guide - Friday, March 20, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                         March 20, 2015
After an initial cheer, the Markets completely failed to capitalize on the opening gains and pared more than 150-odd points from the high point of the day to end the day with a loss. Following news flow of FED not hiking interest rates in April, the Markets saw a decently positive opening on expected lines it strengthened further as it formed the day’s high of 8788.20. However, until afternoon, the Markets then slowly pared almost half of its gains. In the last hour and half of trade, the Markets saw very sudden paring of gains and it lost all of its gains to trade in negative. It went on to form the day’s low of 8614.65 coming off more than 150-odd points from the high point of the day. It finally ended the day at 8634.65, posting a net loss of 51.25 points or 0.59% while forming a higher top but lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015
Expect the Markets to see a quiet and flat opening today. The Markets have tested its support zone of 8620-8660 levels and it would be critically important to see the behavior of the Markets vis-à-vis these levels. It would be extremely crucial to see that the Markets do not breach these levels and its filter. If it does so, we could see some more minor weakness creeping in to the Markets. There is likelihood that the Markets will move back above the 8640-60 levels and remain in a ranged consolidation.

The levels of 8695 and 8740 will act as resistance for the Markets. The levels of 8620 and 8575 will act as immediate supports.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 43.6483 and it continues to remain neutral while showing no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD remains bearish trading below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY March futures have shed over 2.86 shares in Open Interest. This singular figure, with the expiry week beginning from Monday will be of little help. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.87 as against 0.89. At this juncture, we would like to point out one important thing. Some suspicious and invisible activities are being observed in the Markets. In all of the last three session, both FIIs and DIIs have remained net buyers to a respectable extent in the range of 1200-1500 crores. There is virtually no data available to show distinctly who the sellers are who have been selling of in the Markets in a very predictable and similar fashion.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have therefore tested its support zone of 8620-8660 levels once gain. As mentioned earlier, it would be crucially important for the Markets to not to breach this levels and its filter in order to avoid some more weakness. If it manages to stay above 8640-8660 range, it would continue to remain in ranged consolidation.

Overall, with some artificial activities observed in last three trading sessions, there are chances that the Markets may slightly disobey and disregard technicals. However, with all external news flow intact, there are chances that the Markets may not see lenient correction and continue to remain in a range bound consolidation. However, while avoiding significant fresh exposure in the Markets, cautious outlook is advised for the day.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, March 19, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                    March 19, 2015
Markets ended with a modest loss yesterday as caution grew ahead of FOMC meet outcome. The Markets saw a absolutely flat and quiet note and traded in a capped range with minor losses. After range bound movement in the morning, the Markets attempted to recover from its modest morning losses as it traded flat and in positive territory for a very brief period. It traded absolutely flat in the afternoon trade as caution overweighed the overall sentiments. In the second half of the Markets saw some weakness coming in as it gradually lost some more ground. It went on to form the day’s low of 8664. Some minor recovery was seen but the Markets finally settled the day at 8685.90, posting a modest loss of 37.40 points or 0.43% while continuing to form a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 2015
The Markets are to positively react to the FOMC announcements coming in wherein the rate hike in immediate future, i.e. April seems to be unlikely. Reacting to this, Markets are likely to see a decently positive opening. With such decently positive opening, the support zone of 8620-8660 would continue to remain valid. However, it would be important to see if the Markets maintains these gains and capitalizes on it later.

The levels of 8850 and 8920 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports would come in at 8620 and 8570 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 46.3906 and it continues to remain neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bearish trading below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY March futures have shed further over 7.43 lakh shares or 3.08% in Open Interest. This signifies some more unwinding of positions. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.89 as against 0.91 a day earlier.

Coming to pattern analysis, the decently positive opening will keep the support zone of 8620-8660 valid as of now. Also, this will keep the Markets trading comfortably above all of its three moving averages. However, this will also continue to keep the Markets in the overall broad range of consolidation that it has been trading in. In order to continue with its up move, it will have to move past the levels of 8925 with good amount of participation and volumes in order to keep the original trend intact. Currently, the intermediate trend of the Markets remains that of consolidation.

Overall, Markets are all likely to see the positive and nearly gap up opening today. At the same time, it would be necessary for the Markets to maintain those gains and capitalize on it as well. Though this would still keep the Markets in the overall consolidation zone, selective purchases may be made. While keeping a vigilant eye on profits, positive outlook is advised for the day.
