Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, June 04, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                             June 04, 2014
The Markets continued to brush aside the technicals and continued to surge upwards on continued heavy short covering as it ended the day on fresh highs while continuing to shed Open Interest. The Markets opened expectedly on a quiet note and after trading briefly into green with limited gains in the morning trade dipped into negative while it formed its day’s low of 7342.15. However, the Markets changed its trajectory soon after that and started seeing some strength coming in as it not only went back in to the green but also went on to form day’s high of 7424.95. The Markets saw some sudden paring of gains at these levels but it recovered again to finally end the day at 7415.85, posting a net gain of 53.35 points or 0.72% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Today’s analysis remains more or less on similar lines that of yesterday. The Markets are likely to open on a flat and quiet note and look for directions. Even if its continues to show some strength, they are now trading “overbought” and there are all chances that the Markets show some corrective actions which are now overdue and imminent given the technicals, pattern analysis and the F&O data as well.

For today, the levels of 7445 and 7470 would act as immediate resistance levels for the Markets. The supports exist much lower at 7340 and 7270 levels.

The lead indicators too continue to show weariness and bias towards impending correction in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 73.5097 and it does not show any failure swings. However, the NIFTY has formed a new 14-day high whereas the R SI has not and this is a very clear Bearish Divergence. Further, the RSI now trades in “Overbought” territory. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish even after two days of robust gains as it trades below its signal line and is bearish.

On the derivative front, NIFTY June futures have shed over 6.54 lakh shares or 3.96% in Open Interest. This very clearly indicates that unwinding of existing positions is done and the rise that we saw yesterday has been clearly on back of heavy short covering.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have attempted to move past the  Double Top Formation of 7381 at Close levels. Though it has moved past this double top at Close levels, they trade much below the Double Top formation on Daily High Low Bar Charts. To add to this, they have now entered the “overbought” condition with continuous reduction of  Open Interest in last two days. This translates into conclusion that the Markets shall not achieve a clear cut straight forwards breakout but would continue to either consolidate OR correct from these levels.

All and all, while continuing on yesterday’s lines, we continue to reiterate to refrain from creating over exposures in the Markets. Fresh purchases should be done on extremely selective basis and should remain highly stock specific and defensive. Over, while maintaining liquidity, continuance of cautious approach is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, June 03, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                        June 03, 2014
Markets saw a big upsurge yesterday on back of massive short covering and ended the day on robust gains while putting all technical readings on the back burner. We call it short covering because the Markets have shown this upsurge with decline in net open interest. The Markets opened on a relatively quiet note and made quiet advances in the morning trade while it traded with decent gains. However, the Markets gained further momentum in the second half of the session while it saw itself strengthening. It kept inching upwards for the rest of the sessions with virtually no signs of any weakness. It went on to report the day’s high of 7368.60 and finally managed to end the day at 7362.50, posting a robust gain of 132.55 points or 1.83% while forming a higher top and higher bottom on the Daily High Low Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TODAY

Brushing all technicals aside, the Markets surged yesterday on back of huge short covering. Today as well, expect the Markets to open and trade mildly positive, at least in the initial trade. All possible technical readings suggest the Markets are now overdue for a serious correction but it has been sustaining just on the back of FII inflows and given this reading we now sound a serious voice of caution against taking any blanket positions in the Markets.

For today, the levels of 7390 and 7435 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports exist much lower at 7280 and 7210 levels.

All lead indicators suggest otherwise what is happening in the Markets. The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 71.3058 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. However it trades in ‘overbought’ condition. Further, Daily MACD too continues to trade below its signal line and it is bearish despite yesterday’s upsurge.

On the derivative front, NIFTY June futures have shed over 1.89 lakh shares or 1.13% in Open Interest which very clearly indicates massive short covering today.

Going by the pattern analysis, the Markets have been consolidating after touching 7500 twice and this consolidation has been in a broad 200+ point range. However, even while being in consolidation mode, the Markets are currently “overbought” and any breakout on the upside would make it further overbought. This is not a good technical signs and the Markets would sustain just because of inflows but will be extremely unhealthy and with questionable sustenance.  

Overall, at this point, given the technical readings, the overbought condition of the lead indicators, we now sound a voice of serious caution against any blanket buying in the Markets. The Markets would also react to the RBI credit policy later today. The overall consensus is towards no change in the key rates but given the tendency of the Government to keep curbing the autonomy,  the outcome cannot be predicted. Under such circumstances it is strongly advised to stick to defensives while making new purchases and maintain high degree of caution for today.
