It further went on to dip briefly in the negative and formed the day’s low at 8593.15. After forming the day’s high and low in the morning trade, the Markets spent the rest of the session trading in a sideways trajectory. In the late afternoon trade, it did perk up a bit but came of from those levels as well. It finally ended the day heading nowhere at 8609.85, posting a very minor gain of 1.80 points or 0.02% while continuing to form a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, JULY 20, 2015
The Markets are once again likely to open on a flat to mildly positive note and look for directions. However, it is also likely that the Markets do not achieve any directional bias and shows some consolidation at higher levels, resisting to a minor extended trend line resistance. Though all lead indicators and structural formation of the Charts continue to portray underlying buoyancy, some amount of consolidation at higher levels cannot be ruled out, which would be in fact healthy for the Markets.

For today, the levels of 8640 and 8665 will act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. Supports would come in at 8610 and 8575 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 65.5847 and it has reached its highest value since last 14-days which is bullish. It does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD is bullish as it continues to trade above its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 55.8514 and this too has reached its highest  value in last 14-weeks which is bullish. The Weekly MACD however continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY July futures have shed 92,350 shares or minor 0.43% in Open Interest. No major unwinding has been observed. The NIFTY PCR stands at 1.22 as against 1.19 on the previous day.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets are likely to face some resistance near its minor trend line drawn from 8000-levels. This does not constitute a major resistance but it can certainly cause a Market to consolidate sideways and in a range bound manner. It is also likely that the Markets moves past this trend line in a day or so without much consolidation. In any case, if we happen to encounter some consolidation at higher levels, it would be perfectly healthy for the Markets.

Overall, as mentioned earlier, the undercurrent in the Markets certainly remains buoyant. Though it is likely  that we may encounter some consolidation at higher levels, it would be in a ranged and sideways trajectory. Any temporary downsides should be utilized to make selective purchases with vigilant protection of profits at higher levels. Overall, neutral to positive outlook is advised for today.
