WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR DEC 04 THRU DEC 08, 2017
In the Week that has gone by, the Indian Equities remained
weak as the benchmark Index NIFTY ended the week with net Weekly loss of 267.90
points or 2.58%. The previous week, has by far remained one of the weaker ones
in the recent past. In our previous Weekly technical note, we had mentioned
about the levels of 10346-10365 acting as major resistance to the Markets. We
had also mentioned about the persistent bearish divergence of the lead
indicators likely leading to weakness in the near term. For the coming week,
given the fact that shorts have started to get built up in the system, minor
pullback may be attempted but in any case, significant up move is very less
likely, at least in the immediate short term.
The levels of 10210 and 10365 will act as immediate
resistance levels in the coming week. The supports will come in at 10050 and
9910 zones.
The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Weekly Chart is
56.0154 and remains neutral against the price. The Weekly MACD has reported a
negative crossover and it is now bearish while trading below its signal line. A
Big Black Candle that has emerged from near the 10345-10365 has established the
credibility of these resistance levels.
While having a look at pattern analysis, it is evident that
the 22-month long trend line has posed serious resistance to the Markets. The
lead indicators, which otherwise remain neutral to the price, have continued to
form lower tops while the Markets was attempting higher levels. All this
cumulatively resulted into bearish divergence on the Weekly Charts.
The lead indicators usually foretell the coming price
action. It was expected since couple of weeks that some corrective actions were
imminent in the immediate short term. Now when the Markets are actually in a
corrective mode, fresh short positions have started to resurface again. If we
attempt to take a holistic view of the Markets, such fresh shorts may start
providing supports at lower levels and the Markets may attempt some technical
pullbacks. However, in any given case, any significant up move is very less
likely. Overall, next week will remain highly stock specific and it is
recommended to keep overall exposures moderate and adopt a cautious view on the
Markets.
A study of Relative Rotation Graphs – RRG evidently show
that the METAL pack which was showing leadership over past couple of weeks will
now take a back seat and will continue to under-perform along with FMCG and
PHARMA. Relative out-performance will now be expected from MIDCAP universe
assisted with sectors like PSU Banks, Public Sector Enterprises, INFRA and some
select stocks from REALTY. Autos are likely to continue to consolidate. MEDIA
pack will continue to gather strength and may remain resilient in event of
general Market weakness.
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.
