Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, July 15, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, JULY 15, 2016
Global liquidity continued to fuel the Markets as after initial consolidation on a lower note, the Markets continued with its up move to end the day with modest gains. Today, speaking purely on technical grounds, the Markets are expected to continue with its up move, at least in the initial trade. Today, we can expect a quiet to modestly positive opening in the Markets once again. The Markets are likely to test its logical target levels of 8600-8610 as we had analyzed in one of our previous editions. However, given the pattern analysis, it would be critically important to see the behavior of the Markets at 8600-8625 zones.

For today, the levels of 8600 and 8625 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in lower at 8505 and 8460 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 72.4695 and it has reached its highest level in 14-days which is bullish. However, it trades in “overbought” zone and it does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD is bullish as it trades above its signal line. On the Candles, an engulfing bullish candle has occurred. Since this has occurred at the high point and after a good up move, this can act as a potential short term top for the Markets.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have went on to add yet another over 6.24 lakh shares or 2.91% in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.08 as against 1.04 yesterday.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have been rising sternly within the rising channel drawn from February lows. Post achieving breakout over 8295 and after couple of days of consolidation in between, the Markets have continued to display great inherent buoyancy. Having said this, as we had mentioned couple of times in our previous editions, the logical targets of this can be anywhere in the range of 8600-8625 levels. At these levels, the Markets would touch / test its logical pattern resistance levels. It would be important to see the behavior of the Markets at these levels.

Overall, today’s opening levels are expected to see the Markets being very near to its first pattern resistance levels of 8600. The Markets are “overbought” and they tend to remain overbought for some time in buoyant times. The current rally is being fuelled by global liquidity which has happened because of a tactical shift to equities happening after sharp decline in bond yields. However, all this certainly make the Markets buoyant but does continue to keep it vulnerable to sharp intraday selling / corrective bouts at higher levels. Though overall buoyancy is evident, some consolidation at higher levels cannot be ruled out.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, July 14, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2016
The Markets continued to consolidate in yesterday’s session and traded much on analyzed lines as it ended flat with nominal losses after remaining in tight range. Today, we continue to put our analysis on similar lines. The Markets are likely to see a quiet and flat opening and it has shown increased signs of fatigue at higher levels. It is very much likely that it continues to remain with a capped upside with vulnerability of selling bouts at higher levels.

For today, the levels of 8550 and 8575 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 8480 and 8415 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 7051.93 and it remain in “overbought” territory. It does not show any failure swing. It also does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it trades above its signal line. On the Candles, a black candle very near to a hanging man has appeared. Though this is not a classic hanging man formation, it does show a potential halt in the uptrend in the Markets.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have added yet another over 1.79 lakh shares in Open Interest. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.04 as against 1.24.

If we look at pattern analysis, the Markets gave a break out on the upside while moving past its previous intermediate top of 8295-8298 levels. It broke out on the upside, consolidated again for a couple of days and went on to put on further gains. The Markets have risen nearly 225-odd points since its last previous top and nearly 575-odd points from the June 24th lows. Though it has fortified its up moves by intermittent consolidation, the Markets are now showing some signs of weariness as well. It did tested its logical targets of 8550 but it now trades in “overbought” territory and the breadth is getting little weaker.

Overall, keeping into account that the lead indicators trade overbought and the breadth has grown weaker over previous couple of sessions, we cannot rule out the possibility of the Markets consolidating or showing corrective profit taking bouts at higher levels. It is reiterated to keep purchases limited to sectors that are witnessing rotational preference and use all up moves in protecting existing positions in the Markets. However, corrections, if any, will be healthy for the Markets as the inherent trend remains buoyant.
