Weekly Technical View - NIFTY - December 05 thru December 09, 2016

WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR DECEMBER 05 THRU DECEMBER 09, 2016
While we refer our previous Weekly Note, we had mentioned that though we remain positive bias towards a pullback, consolidation at present levels cannot be ruled out. Keeping precisely in line with this analysis, the NIFTY consolidated on week-on-week basis and ended the week nearly flat with a modest loss of 27.50 points or 0.34%. The analysis remains on similar note also for the following week. We feel that the NIFTY is likely to continue to consolidate with a upward bias even if it witnesses intermittent selling bouts. The current bottom that it has recently formed is all likely to stay protected. The NIFTY is likely to react to RBI Monetary policy on December 7th and apart from this, the US Bond Yields are expected to remain steady and no major sharp rise is expected.

For the coming week, the levels of 8175 and 8250 will remain important resistance levels to watch for. The supports are expected at 8050 and 7960 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Weekly Chart is 40.1345 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Weekly MACD continues to remain bearish while it trades below the signal line. On the Candles, a long upper shadow has occurred. This will have no significance with the present structure of the Chart as it has not occurred after any uptrend.

Coming to pattern analysis, the NIFTY formed a Double Top formation near 8866levels at Close and has declined since that time. Today, it stands corrected by nearly 882-odd points and stands nearly 38.2% corrected on Close levels from its recent up move from 7029 to 8866 levels. Further to this, it is still trading a not below (outside) the lower Bollinger Band and it would be important for the Markets to stay inside the band to avoid any short moves on the downside. On week-on-week basis, the  OI has increased with the daily declines that the NIFTY has witnessed indicating some existence of fresh short positions in the Markets.

Overall, though we do not see any run-away rally in the Markets, there will be couple of things that the NIFTY will need to take care of to avoid any further weakness from creeping in. It will need to crawl back above the 200-DMA on Daily Charts, and also move past 8195 levels which is the 100-WMA and important pattern resistance apart from 200-DMA at Close. Apart from the monetary policy that Markets will react to, we do not see any external factors negatively affecting the markets. Also, given the F&O data read along with the lead indicators, the downsides may remain limited on weekly basis. We continue to advice creating any major directional positions. While maintaining more cash and liquidity, purchases in limited quantities may be made in select stocks.

A study of Relative Rotation Graphs – RRG suggest just like previous two Weeks, we will continue to see relative out-performance from IT Stocks. Apart from this, considerable improvement in PHARMA stocks, PSUBANKS and Metals will be seen. Some out-performance from select MidCaps and Energy Stocks can also be expected. AUTO stocks are likely to remain laggards. Weakness can be expected in FMCG and some portion of NIFTYMID50 Index.

 Important Note: RRG™ charts show you the relative strength and momentum for a group of stocks. In the above Chart, they show relative performance as against NIFTY Index and should not be used directly as buy or sell signals.
