MARKET OUTLOOK FOR MONDAY, FEB 12, 2018

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR MONDAY, FEB 12, 2018

Friday’s session had seen a lower opening on back of overnight rout in US Markets once again but the Indian Markets resiliently limited its losses. Even with the resilient performance, the benchmark NIFTY50 ended the day on Friday with net loss of 121.90 points or 1.15%. If we take a singular and isolated reading of domestic technicals, the NIFTY has slipped below the 10500-mark. We are likely to see a positive opening as the Index has ended at its intraday high point and has piled up huge Open Interest leading to likely short covering on Monday.

However, we cannot take a isolated reading as we remain affected by global happenings. Even if we take a look globally, US Markets saw wild swings on Friday night, after swinging 800 points on either side, ended with a gain of 330-points. This is further likely to aid a possible positive opening on Monday.

Monday will see the levels of 10565 and 10630 playing out as immediate resistance area. Supports are expected to come in at 10430 and 10350 zones.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Daily Chart is 36.7560. This time a Bullish Divergence is observed as the NIFTY set a fresh 14-period low while RSI did not do so. The Daily MACD still remains bearish while trading below its signal line. No significant formations were seen on Candles.

While having a look at pattern analysis, the NIFTY50 has slipped marginally below the immediate support of 10480-10500 zones. However, it has successfully held 100-DMA which stands at 10371.

Overall, it would be technically important for the Markets to crawl up and move past 10500-mark. It would be necessary to move past this 10500-mark to avoid any further weakness. Much of the venom in the system is seen out for the immediate short term. However, volatility is likely to remain we will see Markets oscillating in a defined range. We reiterate to keep exposures at modest levels and continue to buy good quality stocks with corrective dips, if any. Shorts should be avoided while maintaining a cautious outlook on the Markets.
