Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, September 08, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                             September 07, 2014
On Friday, the Markets continued to consolidate and did so with some amount of volatility ingrained as it held its previous top and ended the day with minor losses. The Markets opened on a positive note and formed its intraday high of 8122.70 in the early minutes of the trade. Markets hovered around those levels and did not move past its previous high and shed some of its gain as it went ahead in the session. The Markets saw paring of all of its gains by afternoon trade but traded with capped losses in the negative territory as well.  In the end it slipped little further to form the day’s low of 8049.85 by recovered from that low as well. It finally ended the day at 8086.85, posting a minor loss of 9.10 points or 0.11% while forming a almost parallel bar on the Daily Bar Charts. 


MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 08, 2014

Tomorrow’s opening would continue to remain crucial. As evident, the Markets have not moved past its previous high of 8141.90. In order to continue with its up move the Markets will have to move past that level. Further, we can expect a quiet opening tomorrow and it would be critically important for the Markets open and trade 8050-8075 levels in order to avoid any weakness. 

The levels of 8140-50 and 8075 would continue to act as resistance. The supports exists at 7970 and 7910 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 70.7605 and it does not show any bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. However, it trades in “overbought” territory. The Daily MACD too trades above its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 72.4461 and it does not show any failure swings. However, it not only trades in “Overbought” territory, but also shows a Bearish Divergence as it has not formed its 14-period high whereas NIFTY has done so. The Weekly MACD continues to trade above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY September futures have gone on to shed over 5.77 lakh shares or 3.63% in Open Interest. This phenomenon has been observed for second day in a row and it clearly shows offloading of long positions at higher levels.

Going by pattern analysis, the Markets have not shown a clear breakout from a broadening formation. It did attempt to breakout but have shown a throwback on expected lines. Any closing in the range of 8070-50 would bring the Markets again in that formation and therefore no breakout would be achieved. Further, on the other side, even if the Markets achieve further up move it is doing to while in “overbought” condition and this would certainly make the Markets heavily prone to selling from higher levels.

Overall, taking in view the pattern and structure of the Charts and also keeping in mind the F&O data and the Weekly Charts as well, the Markets are not likely to have a run-away rise from here. Even if it does, it would be heavily prone from pressure from higher levels and also get further overbought. There are all chances that the volatility would persist. Any upside should be continued to be used for protecting profits. While making selective purchases as well, vigilant approach is advised.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Friday, September 05, 2014

MARKET REPORT                                                                                September 04, 2014
The Markets took a breather after nine days of consecutive gains as it opened negative and remained negative throughout the day and ended the day with minor losses. The Markets opened on a negative note and continued to drift lower in the morning trade. For the most part of the session until late afternoon trade the Markets more or less traded in a range but drifted little lower. It formed its intraday low of 8060.90 in the mid afternoon trade but did not break its capped range on the downside. In the last hour and half of the trade, the Markets saw a very sharp up move wherein the Markets saw recovery from its lower levels. At one point, the Markets nearly recouped all of its losses but did not still enter into the positive territory. It finally ended the day at 8095.95, posting a modest loss of 18.65 points or 0.23% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 05, 2014

The opening would be very crucial tomorrow as the markets have potentially formed a top at 8141 levels and have shown a throwback by returning back to its breakout point as expected in our previous edition. The Markets will have to maintain the levels above of 8130-50 zone in order to continue with its up move but overall, there are bright chances that the Markets may continue to remain volatile while being forced to consolidate at higher levels.

The levels of 8040-60 zone would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports come in at 8060 and 7970 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 71.9730 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. However, it still continues to trade in “overbought” territory. The Daily MACD continues to trade above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY September futures have over 9.82  lakh share in Open Interest. This very evidently suggests that what we saw in form was sharp rise was purely short covering and quite a good amount of positions have been reduced. It would be important to see if the Markets continues to drift lower and the breakout signal that it threw proves to be a mere whipsaw; or more simply to say a false / failed breakout signal.

Going by the pattern analysis, even though the Markets have attempted a breakout, as of now it has seen a throwback as it retraced a bit to its breakout levels. However, even if the Markets attempts again to move upwards, the levels would certainly get unhealthy as it would be inching upwards while remaining in “overbought” levels. There are bright chances that the Markets see some more consolidation.

Overall, given this, though one may continue to make fresh purchases on selective note, any profit on the long side should be very vigilantly protected. Any rallies should be first used to book and protect profits and then for buying, and that too on ultra selective basis. With the pattern analysis and reading F&O data along with it, pressure at higher levels and some profit taking from higher levels just cannot be ruled out. Continuance of caution is advised.
