Daily Market Trend Guide -- Thursday, December 24, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                    December 24, 2015
Markets had a very healthy and stable session yesterday as it opened positive, maintained its gains and went on to end the day with decent gains. The Markets saw positive start as expected and after trading with stable gains, inched up further to post gradual highs. The Markets spent nearly entire session in a sideways trajectory where it maintained its gains in a steadfast manner. In the second half, it got some more strength and formed its intraday high of 7871.45. These levels too were maintained and the Markets therefore successfully defended its critical levels of 7820 for the entire day. While maintaining these gains, the Markets finally ended the day at 7865.95, posting a net gain of 79.85 points or 1.03% while forming higher top and higher bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2015
The Markets have advanced yesterday ending near the high point of the day and speaking purely on technical grounds, we can expect a modestly positive opening once again. Markets are expected to open on a modestly positive note and is likely to advance in the initial trade. The most logical target of this continuance of the up move can be the 50-DMA levels, i.e.  7933 levels. However, it remains important for the Markets to defend 7820 levels in event 
of any consolidation.

For today, the levels of 7900 and 7935 will act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports come in at 7840 and 7820 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 53.2270 and it does no tshow any bullish or bearish divergences. However, the RSI has formed its fresh 14-day high and this is bullish. The Daily MACD stays bullish as it trades above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have shed over 13.14 lakh shares or 7.13% in Open Interest. This is a very clear indication of heavy short covering taking place yesterday. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.83 as against 0.80.

Coming to pattern analysis, as detailed in our yesterday’s edition, the Markets have attempted to confirm the bottom / reversal. It pulled back some 300-odd points from its important pattern support and a 52-week lows and thereafter it oscillated and consolidated in 100-odd points range and attempted to move up once again forming a higher bottom. If it continues to do so and succesfully forms and confirms a immediate bottom, the next logical targets / resistance would be the 7930-7940 range for the  Markets.

All and all, the Markets are likely to open positive, and trade with modest gains in the initial trade. It would be important for the Markets to sustain and continue to buuild up on the expected modest opening that it might get. In event of any consolidation / minor weakness, the 7820 levels would be important to watch out for. Cautiously positive outlook is advised for today.
