Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, August 06, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                                     August 06, 2013
The Markets had a flat session yesterday as it defined the globally stable environment to trade volatile and end the day with minor gains. The Markets opened on a mildly positive note against the expectations of a strong start and after briefly trading in a capped range, went on to give the day’s high of 5721. However, this level was not sustained as the Markets pared all of its gains to trade flat in the afternoon trade. The second session of the trade saw the Markets heading nowhere as it moved / remained in a much capped range. It spent rest of the session in such state and finally ended the day absolutely flat at 5685.40, posting a minor gains of 7.50 points or 0.13% while forming a lower top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today’s analysis remains more or less similar to that of yesterday. However, the Markets are expected to open on a mildly negative note and look for directions. Today’s opening levels would again see the Markets testing its pattern support and it would be important to see if it sees improvement post opening. The intraday trajectory would remain important and it would be important for the Markets to remain near its pattern supports to avoid further weakness.

For today, the levels of 5725 and 5760 are immediate resistance on the Charts. The supports come in at 5650 and 5615 levels.

The lead indicators continue to remain neutral. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 36.1294 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to trade below it’s signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY August futures shed little over 2.05 lakh or 1.33% in Open Interest. This is not a major shedding of open interest, but this still, needs to be replaced with longs if the Markets have to make a sustainable up move.

Having said this, again, the reading remains similar to that of our yesterday’s edition of Daily Market Trend Guide. Over 90% of the components of NIFTY, BankNIFTY, CNX MIDCAP remain nearly OVERSOLD and therefore any further dip may increase the chances of short covering if not buying from lower levels.

All and all, given this reading it is VERY important to note that with any further dip in the Markets, a pullback, somewhat sharp is now long over due and quite imminent. However, we would advice to maintain liquidity and status quo on the positions rather than buying as the directional trend still remains without any consensus. Shorts may be strictly avoided. Overall, the chances of the Markets taking support after a negative opening are high and therefore cautious outlook with little optimism is advised for today.
