Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, April 30, 2012

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY                                                                April 30, 2012
The Markets had a quiet and positively biased short session on Saturday as it ended the day with modest gains. The Markets opened positive and traded positive in a capped range for the most part of the short trading session. However, towards the end, it moved up further to give the day’s high of 5216.40 and finally ended the day at 5209, posting a modest gain of 18.40 points or 0.35%. With this it has formed a similar top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts. The Markets have ended the week with net loss of 81.85 points or 1.54%.

For today, expect the Markets to open on a mildly positive note and continue with its attempt of up move. The Markets may open and trade positive at least in the initial session however the intraday trajectory that it forms during the day would continue to be important as the Markets still continues to remain in overall range.
For today, the levels of 5245 and 5290 shall act as resistance and the levels of 5130 and 5125 shall be very important supports at Close levels.

The lead indicators throw a contradictory signals on Daily and Weekly Charts. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 45.6526 and is neutral as it shows no negative divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line. On the Weekly Charts the RSI is 50.0578 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-weeks which is bearish.  Also, the RSI has give its 14-period low but NIFTY has not and this is Bearish Divergence.

Coming back to the Daily Charts, the lower DMA (100) has reported a Positive Crossover as it has  cut a larger DMA (200) from below and this indicators upward momentum in the short term.

Given this contradictory reading on Daily and Weekly Charts and the Pattern Analysis on the Daily Charts, the Markets are expected to see sharp movement on either side this week. However, given the very low F&O Open Positions and Markets trading above its 100-200 DMA, the downside still appears limited until Markets  breaches these levels on the downside.

All and all, the volatility and the capped trade in the Markets cannot be ruled out. As we had mentioned in one of our previous editions of the Daily Market Trend Guide, the Markets have not given directional signals on either side and this will keep it in a broad range and volatile without going in any direction with conviction. It is advised to refrain from shorts and avoid aggressive positions. Also it is strongly recommended to keep protecting profits very vigilantly at higher levels. Overall, cautious outlook is advised for the day.
