Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, July 22, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2016
The levels of 8595 levels continued to remain sacrosanct as the Markets continued to consolidate and did not break out above 8595-8610 levels yesterday while it ended the day with modest losses. The Markets have been consolidating heavily and today is likely to remain no different. With the levels of 8595 continuing to remain an immediate top for the Markets, we can fairly expect the Markets to open on a flat to mildly positive note and continue to consolidate. The levels mentioned will continue to remain immediate top and resistance for the Markets.

For today, the levels of 8595 and 8625 will continue to act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 8475 and 8410 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 63.2304 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD stays bullish as it continues to trade above its signal line. However, it is moving towards reporting a negative crossover. On Candles, an engulfing bearish pattern has occurred. When this appears                 during an uptrend which appears to be the case with NIFTY, this can mark a potential top for the Markets.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have over 3.92 lakh shares or 1.67% in Open Interest. This shows that some amount of long unwinding has happened in the yesterday’s session.

Coming to pattern analysis, as mentioned often in our previous editions, the Markets have been consolidating after it broke on the upside above 8295 levels. In last week, the Markets have been consolidating after it marked the level of 8595 as its immediate high. This level has been acting as immediate top for some time for the Markets. It is very much expected that the Markets will take some time before it gives yet another runaway rally and this level will continue to mark an immediate top for the Markets.

All and all, no significant up move shall occur until the Markets moves past the levels of 8595-8610. However, given the reading of the lead indicators along with F&O data, it appears that it would be some time before the Markets gives a fresh break out and in immediate short term, we might continue to see the Markets consolidating. However, such consolidation will happen in a range and while the Markets continue to display good amount of inherent strength, volatility will continue to remain ingrained in the session. Overall, cautious outlook is advised for the day.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, July 21, 2016

MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, JULY 21, 2016
The Markets have attempted to resume its up move by moving towards upper end of its consolidation band yesterday as it ended the day with modest gains. However, it has not yet shown any break-out from that narrow consolidation zone and it continues to remain within that. Today, we can expect the Markets to open on a flat note and continue to consolidate with the levels of 8600 and 8625 continuing to act as immediate resistance levels. The Markets are nearly overbought once again and any sharp up move will make it overbought again.

Today, the levels of 8600 and 8625 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 8515 and 8470 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 69.4113 and it does not show any failure swing. However, NIFTY has formed a fresh 14-day high but RSI has not and this is Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD stays bullish as it continues to trade above its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY July futures have added yet another over 6.21 lakh shares or 2.71% in Open Interest. This makes it very much evident that we have seen fresh long positions being initiated once again in this segment.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have continued to show up move but it has remained within the narrow range in which it has been consolidating. The Markets have been consolidating with the levels of 8600-8610 acting as resistance on the upper side. With the Markets tracking the rising trend line of the channel it has formed from February lows, any fresh up moves or attempts to break out of the consolidation zone will see the Markets testing its logical targets of 8630-8645 levels. However, it will be overbought once again and it would be a while before we see a longer sustainable rally even if the undercurrent remains buoyant.

Taking into account that the lead indicators have shown very mild signs of weariness again, the Markets may show up moves but will continue to remain vulnerable to sharp selling bouts as it has been in the past. Before a fresh sustainable breakout is seen, we will continue to see some good amount of volatility remaining ingrained in the Markets. We continue to reiterate to avoid major shorts positions, preserve cash and keep fresh purchases highly stock specific.
