Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, January 01, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                   January 01, 2015
The Markets ended the year 2014 on a positive note and continued to close with modest gains. The Markets saw a flat opening and post flat opening the Markets saw itself strengthening a bit by the late morning trade. However, once again, the Markets traded with much capped gains and in a narrow range while it continued to drift from its morning gains. The second half of the session saw the Markets inching upwards again. It attempted to move past its 50-DMA levels while it formed its intraday high of 8291, though it resisted there. These levels were maintained as the Markets ended the day at 8282.70, posting a net gain of 34.45 points or 0.42% while forming slightly higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts. So far as year 2014 goes, the NIFTY gained 31.40% posting its best gain since 2009.


MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 01, 2015

The Markets would continue to witness a typically holiday affected session once again as the Markets are likely to remain in slumber as they have been doing since last couple of sessions. We can expect a quiet opening and we would continue to see the levels of 50-DMA being the crucial levels to watch out for. In case of higher opening, the Markets will have to make sure to maintain itself above the 50-DMA levels in order to avoid remaining in sideways consolidating range.

The levels of 8290 (in case of opening lower than this level) and 8365 would act as immediate resistance. The supports come in at 8148 and 8100 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 50.2596 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or failure swings. The Daily MACD remains bearish trading below its signal line but at the same time it is slowly but steadily moving towards giving a positive crossover.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY January futures have shed over 1.48 lakh shares or nominal 0.69% in Open Interest. This shows very mild profit taking ahead of a year close but certainly this figures remains an insignificant one.

Going by trend and pattern analysis, the Markets, as we have been mentioning in our previous couple of editions of Daily Market Trend Guide, has been resisting to its 50-DMA levels while attempting a pullback after making recent lows in mid December. It would be necessary for the Markets to move past these levels with conviction in order to successfully continue with the up move. However, the Markets are seeing some listless sessions due to lack of participation on account of year end holidays.

Overall, the trend continues to remain intact. We would see some good gains if the Markets moves past its 50-DMA and stays about that level in the immediate short term. However, we may see some listless activity due to holidays and therefore see some real momentum coming in the Markets only from next week. However, while maintaining adequate liquidity, cautious optimism is advised for the day.
