The Markets spent yesterday’s session while consolidating in a very narrow band and ending the day with modest losses. The Markets opened on a modestly positive note and formed its day’s high of 7606.45 in the early minutes of the trade. After hovering around these levels, the Markets gradually pared its gains to trade flat and dipping in the negative territory thereafter. The Markets, after trading in capped sideways movement for a while, slide further to touch the day’ s low of 7502.45. In the afternoon trade, the Markets managed to recover most of its gains as it trade flat in the last hour of the trade.

MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

The Markets are again slated to open on a flat to mildly positive note and look for directions. The analysis would continue to remain more or less on yesterday’s lines and the bias certainly remains on the corrective side. It is likely that the Markets show some strength in the first part of the session and again some correction sets in as me move ahead in the session. Volatility shall continue to remain ingrained in the Markets.

For today, the levels of 7590 and 7625 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports exists much lower at 7410 and then at 7335 levels.

The lead indicators continue to point towards corrective bias. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 61.7448 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. Further RSI has formed a fresh 14-day low wherein NIFTY has not and this is Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD is bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, NIFTY June futures have added nominal 85,700 shares or 0.61% in Open Interest. No major build up of positions were seen on either side in yesterday’s session.

As per pattern analysis, as we have often repeated in our previous editions of Daily Market Trend Guide, there has been temporary top formation at 7700.05 levels and until this levels are breach on the upside, the Markets would continue to remain subjected such consolidation / corrective activities. The bias is further tilted towards corrective activities as suggested by the lead indicators.

All and all, the Markets trade in a capped trading range and are continuing to consolidate with corrective bias. Investors are advised to continue to remain very moderate on their exposures which should remain limited to defensives. While remaining ultra selective on the fresh purchases, very cautious outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, June 19, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                            June 19, 2014
The Markets traded absolutely on the analysed lines yesterday in our brief Market note as it not only remained volatile and swung nearly 110-odd points on either side, but also ended the day with losses. The Markets opened on a flat note with modest gains and traded in a capped range in the morning trade. The Markets drifted on the upside and in the late morning trade formed its day’s high of 7663. However, the Markets pared those gains by afternoon to trade flat near its previous close. The second half of the session saw a very sharp fall in the Markets as the Markets rapidly lost ground to touch the day’s low of 7515.50, paring nearly 150-odd points from its day’s high. It managed to recover most of its gains but last hour of the trade again saw some selling pressure and the Markets finally ended the day at 7558.20, posting a net loss of 73.50 points or 0.96% while forming almost a parallel bar with slightly higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today’s analysis would remain on similar lines as the Markets are expected to open with minor gains but the session is very much likely to remain absolutely volatile with a corrective bias. The Markets may open near its intraday resistance point and there are chances that it comes off from day’s high as we go ahead in the session. Even if the gains are sustained, the corrective bias would remain as suggested by technical factors and F&O data.

For today, the levels of 7580 and 7625 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports exists much lower at 7510 and 7435 levels.

The lead indicators continue to suggest corrective bias in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 63.2951 and it has just crossed below its overbought area from a topping formation. This is bearish. Also, RSI has formed its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish as well. Further, the RSI has set a fresh 14-day low whereas NIFTY has not yet and this is clear Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD too remains bearish as it trades below its signal line. 

On the derivative front, the NIFTY June futures have continued to shed over 6382 lakh shares or 4.61% in Open Interest. This is a clear indication that the Markets have witnessed offloading from higher levels.

Going by the pattern analysis, the levels of 7700 continue to remain a immediate top for the Markets. The Markets may correct or consolidate in a broad range but sustainable up move shall occur only after it moves past this level. Further with the range remaining wider than normal, this will also induce volatility in the Markets. The bias remains towards some immediate weakness as suggested by technical indicators and the F&O data as detailed above.

All and all, under given circumstances, it is strongly advised that any fresh purchases should not only be on highly selective basis, but should be restricted to defensives and high beta stocks should be avoided. It is continued to be advised that the overall exposure in the Markets should be kept moderate. While protecting profits very vigilantly at higher levels, cautious outlook is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, June 16, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                        June 16, 2014
The correction finally set in the Markets on Friday which stood long overdue and impending as the Markets ended the day with good amount of losses. The Markets opened on a flat to mildly positive note and formed its intraday high of 7678.50 in the early minutes of the trade. The Markets thereafter spent the morning session in sideward movement while trading in a very capped range.  Markets saw selling pressure coming in later in the day and also intensified by late afternoon trade taking the Markets to its intraday low of 7525.35, losing some 150-odd points from its day’s high. The Markets never really saw any attempt to recover from those lows as it spent the rest of the session again in the sideways manner. With no recovery coming in, the Markets finally ended the day at 7542.10, posting a net loss of 107.80 points or 1.41% while forming a higher top but sharply lower bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

As we had analysed in one of our previous editions of Daily Market Trend Guide, the levels of 7700.05 have not become a temporary top for the Markets. Today, expect the Markets to open on a lower note and continue with its corrective activities, at least in the initial trade. The Markets are most likely to see continuing correction and the intraday trajectory would continue to remain important for the Markets.

For today, the levels of 7580 and 7625 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports would come in at 7500 and 7430 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 66.3606 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence on the Daily Charts. However, it has moved below its overbought zone and it is bearish. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line, but it is moving towards reporting a bearish crossover. On the Candles, An engulfing bearish line occurred (where a black candle's real body completely contains the previous white candle's real body).  The engulfing bearish pattern is bearish during an uptrend (which appears to be the case with NIFTY).  It then signifies that the momentum may be shifting from the bulls to the bears. 

On the derivative front, the NIFTY June Futures have shed over 15.58 lakh shares or 9.34% in Open Interest. This is an extremely clear indication that heavy offloading / unwinding of positions have occurred in the Markets on Friday.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Market shave formed a potential top at 7700.05 and it is showing a corrective trend. This corrective trend is likely to continue wit the Markets finding first supports near 7430-7450 levels. We have had global events like Iraq to discuss but the pattern analysis clearly indicated that such correction had been long overdue and imminent from quite some time. Any sustainable up move shall occur only after Markets moves past its immediate top.

All and all, given this scenario, the Markets are likely to continue with their corrective activity, at least in the initial trade.  While making fresh purchases, it is best advised to stick to defensives and keep vigilantly protecting profits at higher levels. While maintaining extremely stock specific and selective approach, cautious outlook is advised for today.
