Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, June 20, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                        June 20, 2013
The markets saw a volatile session again as the caution reigned before the FOMC meet that began yesterday. However, post negative opening, the Markets ultimately managed to hang on its support levels of 200-DMA at Close and ended the day with moderate gains. The Markets opened on a negative note and in the morning session itself, it drifted further to give the day’s low of 5777.90. The Markets continued to trade with capped losses in a very narrow band in between which it kept making feeble attempts to recovery. The second half of the Markets saw some recovery as the Markets managed to pullback and trade in the positive. It went on to give the day’ high of 5828.40 in the final hour of the trade. It hovered around those levels and finally ended the day at 5822.25, posting a moderate gain of 8.65 points or 0.15% while it formed a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low charts.


Today, we are all set to see a gap down opening in the Markets today. This would be the reaction to the hawkish FOMC statement, contrary to the expectations wherein the Fed indicated that it would start tapering with the QE by end of this year and mid end with it completely in 2014. This is likely to affect the liquidity that we have been seeing in last couple sessions and it will not be taken in good spirits and the Markets are likely to give a knee-jerk reaction to this.

For today, the levels of 5900 would continue to act as immediate resistance, however the support would come in around 5760 and 5710 levels.

The lead indicators continue to remain neutral. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 43.0135 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergences or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY June futures have added yet another over 7.34 lakh shares or 4.13% in Open Interest. This indicates that even with some unwinding that has been witnessed in cash markets, the derivative segment have continued to see shorts being built up.

The impact of the indication sent across by the Fed Reserve would have negative sentimental impact for sure in the short term. The markets are see to give it a knee jerk reaction as it would certainly affect liquidity flow to the emerging markets in the immediate short to medium term. This is especially when this meet was discounted by the Markets and it was taken for granted by the most of the market participants that FOMC would show indications to continue with QE and not taper it. The outcome has been the opposite. 

With relation to the other Markets, out markets may show resilience but however, it will not escape the immediate knee jerk reaction. In such circumstances, it is strongly advised to stay away and remain light on the positions. The emphasis should be to protect profits wherever possible and protect longs at cost as well. No hurry should be shown in creating fresh positions. However, in our case, resilience at lower levels is certainly expected. Overall, cautious outlook is advised for today.
