Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, September 19, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                              September 18, 2014
Buoyed by the FOMC outcome wherein it indicated that the interest rates would be kept at current levels for “considerable time” and with China pledging funds today, the Markets took this as a sentiment booster and saw a very strong pullback after two days of losses. The Markets opened expectedly on a lower note and formed its intraday low of 7939.70 in very early minutes of the trade. In the morning trade, the Markets saw itself slowly recovering from lower levels. However, beginning the late morning trade and rest of the session after that the Markets saw a sharp up move and kept adding gains. The Markets remained very buoyant and saw no signs of any kind of selling pressure at higher levels. It rose some nearly 175+ points from lows of the day as it went on to form the day’s high of 8120.85. This level was maintained and the Markets finally ended the day at 8114.76, posting a robust gain of 139.25 points or 1.75% while forming a sharply higher top and bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 

After a strong pullback, the Markets have left itself at a very critical juncture as evident from the Daily Charts. Tomorrow’s opening, and the behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis the range of 8125-8150 would be crucial to see if the Markets attempt to breakout again or remain in consolidation mode. The opening is expected to be modestly positive but the overall trading trajectory of the Markets will remain very important and face an acid test.

The levels of 8140 and 8180 would act as immediate resistance and the supports come in much lower at 7930 and 7870 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 60.8258 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD still continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY September futures did see some fresh long positions as it added over 9.53 lakh shares or 7.54% in Open Interest.

Looking at the structure of the charts, as mentioned earlier, the Markets have still ended within the range seen on the Charts. Its opening and behaviour vis-à-vis the levels of 8120-8150 would be critically important. In order to breakout again, the Markets will have to trade above these levels. Failure to do so will bring the Markets once again in the consolidation zone.

Overall, with some initial positive movement expected, selective purchases can be made. Sectoral and stock specific out performance would also be seen. However, there are chances of some profit taking returning at higher levels and therefore, positions and profits should be protected at higher levels. Overall cautious optimism is advised.
