Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, January 01, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                      January 01, 2014
The Markets had it session yesterday in a quiet year-end mood as it remained in a very capped range on expected lines and ended the day with minor gains. The Markets opened on a positive note but soon drifted to the lows of the day as it dipped into the negative for a very brief period while recording its intraday low of 6287.30. However, it recovered those gains again in a very short time and traded back into the green. It gradually inched up to give its intraday high in the late morning trade at 6317.30. However, after this, the Markets spent its session in a absolutely quiet and range bound manner. It finally ended the day at 6304, posting a minor gain of 12.90 points or 0.21% while forming a lower top but higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to usher in a new year on a quiet and positive note and look for directions. The analysis would remain more or less similar again as we would continue to see lower volumes and also some stock specific activities. The session is largely expected to remain capped and the levels of 6344 would continue to act as immediate resistance for today.

Today, the levels of 6344 and 6370 would act as resistance on the charts whereas the supports are expected lower at 6275 and 6230 levels.

The lead indicators continue to remain in place. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 57.6309 and it continues to remain neutral showing no bullish or bearish divergences or any failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bullish as it continues to trade above its signal line. 

On the derivative front, NIFTY January futures have continued to act over 4.94 lakh shares or 2.57% in Open Interest. This is a positive reading as this shows that fresh longs were added yesterday even in a capped and range bound markets and offloading was seen.

Overall, the reading here again remains the same as the Markets continues to trade above all of its DMAs and sees no structural weakness on the Charts so long as it continues to trade above its 50-DMA. However the levels of 6344 would continue to act as immediate resistance and the Markets will have to move past this levels for a sustainable up move.

All and all, the reading signifies that for a momentum to catch up and sustain, the levels of 6344 are required to be breached on the upside. In case of any weakness, the markets will have to trade above the levels of 50-DMA. In the present case, until the Markets moves past the levels of 6344, it is likely to continue to see range bound movements. However ,it is advised to strictly refrain from shorts and use such consolidation for making stock specific purchases. Overall, positive outlook is continued to be advised for today.
