Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, December 17, 2013

MARKET REPORT                                                                           December 17, 2013
The Markets traded more or less on expected lines yesterday as it consolidated and spent the session in a narrow range and ended the day with minor losses. The Markets opened on a mildly negative note but soon crawled into the positive territory and gave its intraday high of 6183.25 in the morning session. It however did not sustain those nominal gains and slipped back to trade flat. After spending some time in extremely capped range, the Markets slightly slipped into the red in the afternoon session to give its day’s low of 6146.05. This was against the mentioned support of 6141 in form of its 50-DMA. The Markets pulled back a bit from those levels and finally ended the day at 6154.70, posting a minor loss of 13.70 points or 0.22% while continuing to form a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The Markets have took support near its 50-DMA on expected lines and that support has held on as of today. Today, we can expect the Markets to open on a positive stronger note and continue with its up move, at least in the initial trade. It would be equally critical for the Markets to sustain the opening levels and in any case of downside the 50-DMA still continue to hold as important support.

For today, the levels of 6195 and 6230 would act as immediate resistance on the Charts. The supports exist at 50-DMA at 6145 and further down at 6110 levels.

Even after decline of five days in a row, the lead indicators continue to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 48.3087 and it continues to remain neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergences or any kind of failure swings. The Daily MACD however has reported a negative crossover and it now trades below its signal line. This is expected  to reverse again if the Markets sustains its opening gains and capitalizes on its stronger opening.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have added 4.56 lakh shares or 2.07% in Open Interest. This is a positive sign showing addition of fresh positions yesterday.

If we go by the pattern analysis, there is no negative breach on the technical charts. The Markets have held on to its support of 50-DMA at Close levels and currently trades above all of its moving averages. The lead indicators show a very minor immediate weakness but that should be taken care of if the Markets attempt a pullback. The derivative figures show good amount of Open Interest addition in last five sessions indicating more likelihood of the Markets taking support at these current levels.

All and all, there are chances that the Markets see a positive and stronger opening today and importantly sustain them. Though the intraday trajectory would continue to remain very important, any minor declines should be continued to be used for making fresh purchases. Shorts should be strictly avoided. Overall, positive outlook is advised for today.
