Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, October 18 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                           October 18, 2013
The Markets remained in the corrective mode yesterday, much on expected lines as it opened flat but gradually pared its gains during the day to end the day with losses. The Markets opened on a flat note and rose to 6110.75 in the morning trade which became its day’s high. The Markets pared those gains quickly and traded absolutely flat near its previous close in the entire afternoon session. It dipped further into the red to give the day’s low of 6032.55 in the last hour of the trade. The Markets did not sustain even a feeble attempt to recover and it finally ended the day at 6045.85, posting a net loss of 43.20 points or 0.71% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The resistance zone of 6130-6150 have so far held out as immediate top for the Markets and the Markets have failed to move past them. Today as well, the Markets are likely to give a modestly positive opening, however, the intraday trajectory would continue to remain critically important and the Markets are likely to continue to remain in the consolidation phase.

For today, the levels of 6130 and 6150 would continue to act as immediate resistance. The supports come in much lower at 5980 and 5945 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 60.3845 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any kind of failure swing. The Daily MACD continues to remain bullish as it trades above its signal line. 

On the derivative front, NIFTY October  futures has added 71,200 shares or nominal 0.37% in open interest. We can say that the OI figures have remain practically unchanged. This suggest that there was neither any unwinding of long positions nor any shorts were seen created.

Given the above reading, it can fairly be said that the Markets are under no directional consensus as of now and they very clearly appear to be in a broad trading range and in consolidation phase. The analysis remains more or less same as yesterday and the levels of 6130-6150 would continue to act as immediate top for the Markets.

Overall, it can very fairly be concluded that that with the levels of 6130-6150 acting as major resistance and immediate top, sustainable up move shall occur only above these levels. Until then, the Markets would continue to remain in a broad consolidating range with some amount of volatility ingrained in it. While protecting existing profits, Markets should be approached with caution and selective optimism.
