Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, March 04, 2016

MARKET REPORT                                                                                              March 4, 2016
Markets continued to defy gravity yesterday as well as it continued to end yet another day with decent gains. The Markets saw a decently positive opening aided by favorable technical indicators and global cues. After opening on a positive note the Markets remained in upward rising trajectory for the entire session. After a brief sideways trade in the morning, the Markets kept forming gradual intraday highs. Every minor selloff got absorbed by fresh buying and at no point of time did the Markets showed any weakness or any intent of profit taking. It went on to move past its 50-DMA as well while it formed its day’s high of 7483.95. These levels were maintained and the Markets finally settled the day at 7475.60, posting a decent gain of 106.75 points or 1.45% while forming yet another sharply higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 04, 2016
Today’s analysis continue to remain more or less on similar lines as the Markets are likely to open on a positive note and trade with gains at least in the initial trade. The Markets have closed a notch above its 50-DMA and today’s opening would take it further higher. The NIFTY has gained nearly 10% after Budget Day’s low this up move has got largely to the very sharp arbitrage buying by the FIIs. This strength is likely to continue today as well at least in the initial trade as the Markets approaches yet another major resistance level.

For today, the levels of 7510 and 7550 will act as important resistance levels for today. The supports come in at 7425 and 7380.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 59.2253 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 stands bullish as it trades above its signal line. On the Candles, yet another rising window occurred. This implies continuation of the bullish trend in the Markets.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY March futures had added yet another 13.76 lakh shares or 6.90% in Open Interest. This indicates addition of fresh long positions in the Markets.

While having a look at pattern analysis, the Markets have not only moved past 7240 a day before, but have also went on to move past its 50-DMA which is 7428 today. Today, with likely positive opening, the Markets are likely to build some more gains in the initial trade and in event of any mild profit taking or consolidation, the levels of 7428 is very much expected to act as support. On the other side, if the Markets continue with its advance, it will approach one of its major resistance zone of 7550-7575. This will remain major resistance zone as this is the triple bottom of the wide Descending Triangle that the Markets breached on the downside. It would be healthy if the Markets witnesses some consolidation at these levels as unabated rise can get little unhealthy especially when the Markets ignores important resistance zones.

All and all, even though all indicators continue to point towards continuing bullish environment in the Markets, some amount of consolidation or profit taking from higher levels cannot be ruled out. We have an extended weekend this time with Monday being a trading holiday. Any downticks will help Markets further attempted to confirm a bottom and reverse its trend. However, until happens, it is now time to exercise caution and lay emphasis on guarding and protecting profits at higher levels.

Markets staged yet another solid up move quite on expected lines as it opened strong, got stronger and ended yet another day with robust gains. The Markets saw a gap up opening once again. It saw itself opening with a decent gap up tracking very positive global cues and traded in a range in the early morning trade. Thereafter, it got stronger and traded nearly entire session in sideways trajectory. At no point did the Markets see any kind of profit taking or any weakness creeping.

While maintaining these levels, it finally settled the day at 7368.85 posting a robust gain of 146.55 points or 2.03% while forming a sharply higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 03, 2016
Today can be a day of possible consolidation for the Markets. The Markets may once again see a positive opening but today, it would be crucial to see if the Markets furthers its gains of consolidate at bit at higher levels. Today’s expected up move can take the Markets at 50-DMA levels and it is very much likely that it consolidate and sees minor profit taking at those higher levels. Minor amount of range bound consolidation cannot be ruled out.

For today, the levels of 7395 and 7435 are likely to act as immediate resistance levels for today. The supports come in at 7308 and 7275 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 55.4977 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, the NIFTY March futures have added over 13.67 lakh shares or 7.36% in Open Interest. This very clearly indicates high addition in fresh long positions in the Markets.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have given a break out above 7240 levels yesterday. The levels acted as a resistance a day before the Markets have given a upward breakout by opening above it yesterday and maintaining itself above that level. Today, with the likelihood of the Markets getting a positive opening, it is likely to advance its gains  at least in the initial trade.  With this the logical resistance that the Markets can face now is the 50-DMA which is 7434 today. There are chances that we see both – advancement from these levels; and also the Markets resisting at higher levels near its 50-DMA. In event of any consolidation of profit taking, the level of 7240 is now expected to act as support.

All and all, the Markets are likely to get a positive opening and it is likely to advance in the initial trade. However, at the same time, some amount of consolidation cannot be ruled out at higher levels. It is advised that though modest buying can still be continued, more emphasis should be laid on guarding and protecting profits at higher levels as chances of some consolidation cannot be ruled out. Overall, positive caution is advised for today.
