Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, April 01, 2016

MARKET REPORT                                                                                      April 01, 2016
The technical factors prevailed over the Markets as the Markets failed to move past its pattern resistance and ended the day flat with nominal gains after coming off from its intraday highs. The Markets saw a flat opening and after opening modestly on a negative note it soon crawled into the positive territory. It went on to strengthen itself in the morning trade while it formed its intraday high of 7777.60. However, it got itself in sideways trajectory in the early afternoon trade. The Markets were unable to hold on to its gains and by midsession had pared all of its gains to trade flat. It did saw a spurt in the later part of the afternoon but that was not sustained either as it was followed by a near vertical paring of gains where the Markets formed its intraday low of 7702. With some recovery, it finally settled the day at 7738.40, posting a flat close with minor gains of 3.20 points or 0.04% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 01, 2016
Caution is likely to prevail in the Markets as the Markets are expected to open on a modestly negative note. The Markets, as of now, has failed to clear its important pattern resistance of a falling trend line and with the expected lower opening, the zone of 7730-7760 will continue to pose resistance to the Markets. On the downside, the levels of 100-DMA is expected to act as support. The intraday trajectory that the Markets form after opening would be important to watch out for.

For today, the levels of 7750 and 7785 will act as important resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in much lower at 7650 and 7610 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 64.4578 and it does not show any failure swing. However, RSI has set a fresh 14-period low whereas NIFTY has not yet and this is Bearish Divergence.  Daily MACD is bullish as it still continues to trade above its signal line.  On the Candles, a Spinning Top has occurred. Such formations often tend to have potential to halt the up moves temporarily.

On derivative front, NIFTY witnessed over 68.20% of rollovers and the Market Wide rollovers were seen over 72%. The April series saw addition of over 46.78 lakh shares or 32.97%  in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.10 as against 1.08.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have resisted to one of its important pattern resistances; a falling trend line drawn from 8600 levels. The Markets have been oscillating back and forth while resisting to this falling trend line and taking support on its 100-DMA on the lower side. Today, with modestly lower opening expected, the Markets are likely to continue to resist to this pattern resistance and subsequently, the 100-DMA, which is 7583 is expected to act as support at Close levels.

Overall, the resistance zone of 7730-7760 continues to hold good as of today and the Markets will not witness any runaway up moves until it significantly moves past this level. As of now, the 100-DMA holds as important support failing which 7550 may be tested. We continue to reiterate our cautious outlook on the Markets while continuing to keep fresh purchases and very moderate levels. Cautious outlook for the day is advised.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, March 31, 2016

MARKET REPORT                                                                                       March 31, 2016
The Markets posed a strong comeback as it ended the day with robust gains but continued to remain within its pattern resistance levels. The Markets saw a positive opening aided by positive global set up and remained in positive territory throughout the session. The Markets saw a near gap up opening and after this it remained in upward rising trajectory. Such structure of the Markets remained throughout the session and there was no one point where it witnessed any pressure. It kept making gradual intraday highs and towards the end formed its intraday high of 7741.95. It finally settled the day at 7735.20, posting a net gain of 138.20 points or 1.82% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2016
Even after witnessing a robust up move, the Markets still continue to remain within the ambit of its resistance levels. Today would be a critical session as not only the Markets may open flat around its pattern resistance and attempt to find directions, but today is also expiry day of the current derivative series and this would see the session remain severely dominated with rollovers. Any move above 7750 levels will see the Markets testing inching upwards. If the Markets fail to do so we will once again see them consolidating in a given range.

For today, the levels of 7750 and 7795 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in lower at 7650 and 7610 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 64.3221 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD stays bullish as it trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY March futures shed over 15.88 lakh shares or 9.90% in Open Interest. The April series added over 28.61 lakh shares or 25.26% in Open Interest resulting in net addition in OI. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.08 as against 0.96.

Coming to pattern analysis, even though the Markets saw a robust up move yesterday, it still resisted to the falling trend line drawn from 8600 levels. Having said this, with today’s flat opening expected, the Markets will spend some time around this level of 7750 and it would be important to see if the Markets are able to move past this falling trend line resistance. If the Markets are able to move past this level, we can expect to test 7800-7825 levels on the Charts. However, in the event of the Markets not breaching 7750 on the upside, we will continue to remain in broad consolidation with some intermittent selling bouts from higher levels.

Overall, with today being the expiry day, we cannot rule out volatility remaining ingrained in the session. The levels of 7750 will be important to watch out for and some runaway rally would occur if the Markets move past this level. However, with the Markets still trading within the ambit of its resistance levels we continue to reiterate to use every up move to book and protect profits at higher levels. Cautious outlook on the Markets is advised for the day.
