WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR NOV 06 THRU NOV 10, 2017

WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR NOV 06 THRU NOV 10, 2017
In our previous Weekly note, we had mentioned about possibilities of the benchmark NIFTY50 marking fresh marginal highs while still not giving any meaningful up move. In line with this analysis, in the Week that has gone by, the Index continued to mark fresh highs but ended up with net gains of just 129.45 points or 1.25%. In the coming week, we expect the benchmark Index to there are enough signals on the Charts that indicate that any meaningful and serious up move will still continue to elude us. In most likelihood, with the liquidity chasing the momentum vigorously, we will see NIFTY marking intermittent marginal highs.

At this juncture, despite very buoyant undercurrents, we cannot ignore the fact that there are evident bearish divergences on the lead indicators. On the top of this, as very clearly marked on the Charts, the NIFTY has resisted to the upper trend line of the 22-month long upward rising channel that it has been trading in. This is all likely to force and keep the Markets under consolidation at higher levels.

The levels of 10525 and 10690 will play out as immediate resistance levels. Supports exist at 10360 and 10220.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Weekly Chart is 70.9877. It trades moderately overbought. A bearish divergence appears as the NIFTY has marked a fresh 14-period high while RSI did not. Weekly MACD has reported a positive crossover and it is now positive trading above its signal line.

Pattern analysis clearly indicates the Index testing the upper band of the 22-month long trading channel that it has been trading in. In all likelihood, we see the Markets consolidating at higher levels.

All and all, it is beyond all discussions that the undercurrent setup remains buoyant. The only reason Markets have to take a breather is that it has tested the 22-month long trend line and might resist there. Another reason is the persistent bearish divergences that appear on the lead indicators. The F&O data indicates that downsides, if any would remain limited. However, there are all indications that the coming week may remain volatile in nature and see highly sector specific performances taking place.

A study of Relative Rotation Graphs – RRG show that significant improvement is seen in PSUBANK pack mainly due to its move in the previous week. It is seen that the PHARMA, AUTO, MEDIA and MIDCAP packs are clearly readying themselves to take on the baton as next relative out-performers over coming week. REALTY is still seen consolidating while the FMCG pack is likely to continue to lag and relatively underperform the general markets. INFRA too is showing distinct signs of strength. METAL is seen slowly continuing to give up momentum though may consolidate and show limited downsides.

Important Note: RRG™ charts show you the relative strength and momentum for a group of stocks. In the above Chart, they show relative performance as against NIFTY Index and should not be used directly as buy or sell signals.

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR FRIDAY, NOV 03, 2017

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR FRIDAY, NOV 03, 2017
After a strong session on the previous day, the Indian Equity Markets consolidated on Thursday as the NIFTY50 oscillated in a narrow range while ending the day with a minor loss of 16.70 points or 0.16%. The Markets consolidating after a sharp rise is no doubt a show of underlying strength. However, the rather uncommon thing that is come up is that on one hand, the NIFTY50 has tested and resisted to a 19-month old rising trend line on the Weekly Charts; and on the other hand, a sharp rising in Open Interest along with a decline in NIFTY indicates high addition of short positions in the system. Friday would remain an interesting session to see if the NIFTY continues to consolidate or the persistent show of strength results into sharp short covering.

The resistance levels for NIFTY have now shifted to 10453 and 10565 levels. Supports shifts even lower to 10360 and 10290 zones.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Daily Chart is 69.7761. It has just crossed below the overbought area and this is bearish. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line. Though no very specific formation on Candles was observed, the session represented a spinning-top like formation once again conveying great deal of indecisiveness and caution among participants.

Overall, going into session tomorrow, the breadth of the Markets continues to remain a niggling technical worry and current high of the Markets resists to a 19-month long upward rising trend line is also something we cannot ignore. Momentum may remain, and traders generally have no choice but to chase the momentum. One may do so, but still continue to maintain extremely vigil at higher levels and continue to use up move more for protecting profits at higher levels. Markets are generally expected to remain highly stock / sector specific in nature.
