Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, May 22, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                          May 22, 2014
The Markets showed first signs of correction yesterday as it witnessed a selloff but recovered bulk of its gains to end the day with modest losses. The Markets opened on a quiet and mildly negative mode but soon came into positive territory while it formed its day’s high of 7287.15. However, it remained in the positive for very brief period as it started drifting into the red. The markets traded with capped losses in the morning trade but saw a good amount of weakness creeping in the afternoon trade. The Markets went further into the red and formed its day’s low of 7206.70 by late afternoon trade. It however recovered nearly 50-odd points from those lows and finally ended the day at 7252.90 still with a net loss of 22.60 points or 0.31% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today, expect the Markets to open on a modestly positive note and continue with its recovery at least in the initial trade. However, given the other factors, the Markets are likely to continue to remain overall in the consolidation / corrective mode. Though intraday trajectory would continue to remain critical the Markets are overall remain capped on the upper side with some amount of volatility ingrained in it.

For today, the levels of 7290 and 7345 are immediate resistance levels for today. The supports exists at 7205 and 7160 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 78..6147 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergences or any failure swings. It however continues to trade in “overbought” territory. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY May futures have added nearly 5.03 lakh shares or 2.33% in open interest. This shows some fresh buying done yesterday while the Markets recovered some 50-odd points from its day’s low.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have made a temporary top on May 16th as we have mentioned often in our previous editions and this will continue to act as a immediate top. The Markets would either continue to correct or would continue to consolidate in this broad range with the bias on the downside. This downside bias would persist so long as the Markets continue to trade “overbought”.

Overall, the Markets would see some initial uptick but the possibilities of the consolidation / correction cannot be ruled out. Further with FIIs remaining net sellers in last 2 sessions, this is likely to persist today as well and this may keep the Markets volatile. We continue to reiterate our advice of maintaining very moderate exposures in the Markets while adopting a cautious approach for today.
