MARKET TREND FOR TODAY
October 1, 2012
The Markets had a relatively buoyant session on Friday as it
opened positive and remained positive throughout the session and also ended the
day on a positive note . The Markets opened on a strong note and gave its
intraday high of 5735.15 in the morning trade. However, post giving this high,
the Markets gradually drifted from its day’s high in the rest of the session.
It finally ended the day at 5703.30, still posting a decent gain of 53.80
points or 0.95%. It formed a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low
Charts.
Today, expect the Markets to open on a flat note and look
for directions. With all indicators pointing towards consolidation or impending
minor correction, the Markets are likely to see a capped range on the upside.
The intraday trajectory would be important for today and the Markets are
strongly expected to either consolidate or see a minor correction.
For today, the levels of 5710-5750 shall continue to act as
immediate resistance for the Markets and the immediate supports are at 5630
levels.
The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is
72.1770 and it does not show any failure swing. However, the NIFTY has set a
new 14-day high but the RSI has not and this is “BEARISH DIVERGENCE” on the
Daily Chart. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line. On the
Weekly Charts, though the RSI has just reached its highest value in 14-days,
the Candles shows formation of a ”A
Spinning Top” which shows potential formation of a top and the chances of
weariness creeping in.
Both NIFTY and Stock futures have continued to add in net
Open Interest.
Having said this, if we take global cues into account we
have been best performer among peers in the global markets on Friday. However,
we have all theoretical chances of seeing some weakness creeping in today.
All and all, if we see the overall technical indicators and
structure of the Charts, we are not expected to see a run away rise in the
Markets. Even if it occurs, it would be greatly unhealthy rise as given the
structure of the Charts, some consolidation or correction would be imminent in
order to make the Markets healthy. Any rise should be used in exiting long
positions and profits should be guarded on either side. While maintaining very
selective approach, cautious outlook is advised for today.
