MARKET TREND FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2015

After attempting to form a base yesterday after being nearly oversold, the Markets are set to open once again on a positive note and look for directions. Though somewhat modestly positive opening is expected, the Markets are not completely out of the woods and have not confirmed any reversal. However, given the technical structure of the Charts, some technical relief rally is expected to continue to a modest extent.

For today, the levels of 7840 and 7885 are immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports come in at 7740 and 7710 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 34.6331 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD still continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On derivative front, the NIFTY November futures have shed over 3.98 lakh shares or 2.27% in Open Interest. This makes fairly evident the fact that the yesterday’s rise has been primarily on account of short covering in the Markets. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.72 as against 0.71 yesterday.

While having a look at pattern analysis, the Markets nearly approached its important pattern support levels of 7680 while it formed its intraday low of 7714 yesterday. So far, the Markets have maintained support at the vicinity of this level. Short covering saw the Markets giving a modest relief rally yesterday while holding on this support. Technical structure and the lead indicators on the Daily Chart suggest continuation of such modest technical pullback in immediate short term. However, it is important to note that the Markets have not formed / confirmed any reversal and it awaits structural confirmation for any reversal even if it continues with its up move. In event of any downsides in immediate future, the levels of 7680 would be of critical importance.

All and all, modestly positive opening is expected today and the Markets are expected to continue with its up move, at least in the initial trade. We continue to reiterate caution in the short-medium term and therefore also reiterate that exposure in the Markets should be kept limited. Given the nearly oversold nature of the Markets, shorts should be avoided and any dips should be utilized to make modest purchases. Overall, continuance of caution is advised in the Markets.
