Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, July 20, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                            July 20, 2015
Markets continued to consolidate on Friday as it moved in a very narrow range throughout the session and ended the day with a very minor gain. The Markets saw a modestly positive start and soon formed its intraday high of 8642.95 in the early minutes of the trade. It soon came off from those highs to trade flat. It further went on to dip briefly in the negative and formed the day’s low at 8593.15. After forming the day’s high and low in the morning trade, the Markets spent the rest of the session trading in a sideways trajectory. In the late afternoon trade, it did perk up a bit but came of from those levels as well. It finally ended the day heading nowhere at 8609.85, posting a very minor gain of 1.80 points or 0.02% while continuing to form a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, JULY 20, 2015
The Markets are once again likely to open on a flat to mildly positive note and look for directions. However, it is also likely that the Markets do not achieve any directional bias and shows some consolidation at higher levels, resisting to a minor extended trend line resistance. Though all lead indicators and structural formation of the Charts continue to portray underlying buoyancy, some amount of consolidation at higher levels cannot be ruled out, which would be in fact healthy for the Markets.

For today, the levels of 8640 and 8665 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. Supports would come in at 8610 and 8575 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 65.5847 and it has reached its highest value since last 14-days which is bullish. It does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD is bullish as it continues to trade above its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 55.8514 and this too has reached its highest  value in last 14-weeks which is bullish. The Weekly MACD however continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have shed 92,350 shares or minor 0.43% in Open Interest. No major unwinding has been observed. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.22 as against 1.19 on the previous day.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets are likely to face some resistance near its minor trend line drawn from 8000-levels. This does not constitute a major resistance but it can certainly cause a Market to consolidate sideways and in a range bound manner. It is also likely that the Markets moves past this trend line in a day or so without much consolidation. In any case, if we happen to encounter some consolidation at higher levels, it would be perfectly healthy for the Markets.

Overall, as mentioned earlier, the undercurrent in the Markets certainly remains buoyant. Though it is likely  that we may encounter some consolidation at higher levels, it would be in a ranged and sideways trajectory. Any temporary downsides should be utilized to make selective purchases with vigilant protection of profits at higher levels. Overall, neutral to positive outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, July 17, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                     July 17, 2015
The Markets had a steady session once again and it ended yet another day with decent gains though it did resist to its intraday resistance levels in the first half of the session. The Markets saw a better and positive opening and soon after opening it traded with decent gains in the morning session. These gains, however, remained capped and sideways as the Markets continued to resist to the levels of 8561 in the first half of the session. Though the Markets did not correct and after spending the first half of the session in sideways trajectory, it gained further strength in the second half. It went on to form the day’s high of 8616.10 by late afternoon trade. These levels were maintained and no major retracements were seen. The Markets finally ended the day at 8608.05, posting a decent gain of 84.25 points or 0.99% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.
MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015
The Markets are likely to see a quiet and positive opening again and look for directions at least in the initial trade. The lead indicators suggest that the Markets are likely to continue with its overall up move and continue to surge upwards in coming sessions. However, the F&O data also suggest that we may see some consolidation coming in at higher levels even if the undercurrent remains buoyant.

The levels of 8630 and 8675 would act as immediate resistance levels whereas supports come in at 8560 and 8510 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 65.4999 and it has reached its highest value in last 14-days which is bullish. It does not show any bullish or bearish divergence as such. The Daily MACD continues to remain firmly bullish as it trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have added further over 7.95 lakh shares or 3.88% in Open Interest. This figure firmly suggest good amount of long positions to have been added and it also suggest clear continuation of uptrend in the immediate short term.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets confirmed its bottom and have moved past all of its 3 moving averages. It had remained in a intermediary downtrend in the last quarter but now it has attempted to move back into its primary trend. So long as the Markets continues to trade above its 100-DMA, we will see strong undercurrents and the overall buoyancy would prevail. In event of any consolidation or in event if the Markets breach its 100-DMA, it would see itself again in a broad consolidation zone.

Overall, the Markets are likely to see a stable opening and is likely to trade steady at least in the initial trade. All indicators as suggest clear possibility of the Markets extending its gains. However, today and in next few sessions to come, we will have to guard against consolidation from higher levels, which would otherwise be healthy for the Markets in the long run. Overall, positive outlook is advised for the day.
