Daily Market Trend Guide -- Tuesday, February 10, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                    February 10, 2015
Heavy bearish undertone continued to weigh on the Markets as the Markets ended the day with a deep cut and ended with losses for the seventh day in a row. The sentiments was affected with the possible BJP defeat in Delhi polls and also the weaker than expected Q3 earnings from the key companies. The Markets saw a gap down opening as it opened with a wide gap compared to its previous close. Post such gap down opening, the Markets showed no inclination to recover at any point of the day. After trading sideways with opening losses, the Markets drifted further in the second half of the session as it formed its intraday low of 8516.35. No signs of recovery was seen and the Markets finally ended the day at 8526.35, posting a net loss of 134.70 points or 1.56% while forming a sharply lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2015
Markets are likely to remain in little tough spot and we can expect a modestly lower opening today. Most of the Delhi Poll outcome has discounted and with the Markets expected to open lower, it would also attempt to find some stability and attempt to form some  bottom with the levels of 50-DMA continuing to act as important support.

The levels of 8605 and 8640 will act as resistance on the upside and the levels of 8450 will act as important support for the Markets.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 45.2858 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. However, it does not show any bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish trading below its signal line. On the Candles, A falling window occurred (where the bottom of the previous shadow is above the top of the current shadow).  This usually implies a continuation of a bearish trend.   
The two candles preceding the falling window were black, which makes this pattern even more bearish.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY February futures have shed over 1.58 lakh shares or 0.64% in Open Interest. This figures is relatively smaller looking at the extent of decline in the previous session. At the same time, selling in the Cash Markets have been observed where as Stock futures have been adding large amount of Open Interest in the previous session.

Taking a cue from pattern analysis, the Markets opened below its important support level of 8640 and declined further from there. This level, on the upside will now act as important. The Markets will remain in intermediate corrective trend until it moves past the level of 8640 on the upside. In event of the Markets continuing with its downtrend, the levels of 50-DMA might be tested. Even if this happens, the Markets will continue with keep its secular trend intact.

Overall, the approach to the Markets warrants heavy caution. It is widely accepted that the outcome of the Delhi polls, even if it does not favour the BJP, will not affect the functioning of the Government at the Centre. It will also not affect the ability of the Government to execute reforms or its stability in the near term but it will certainly affect the sentiments and that is what it is doing currently. However, it will attempt to find bottom after negative opening today. Refraining from aggressive positions is advised for today.

Daily Market Trend Guide -- Monday, February 09, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                                      February 09, 2015
Weak technicals continued to keep the Markets in the corrective mode on Friday as well as it ended sixth straight day of looses. Caution ahead of Delhi polls outcome also weighed on the sentiments of the Markets while it ended the day with modest losses. The Markets saw a quiet opening on expected lines and it also traded briefly into the positive in the morning trade. After marking 8726.20 as the intraday high, the Markets gently slipped into the negative in the later morning trade. It overall remained in a downward trajectory. It did made an feeble attempt to recover in the afternoon trade wherein it traded flat after recouping all of its modest losses but weakened again in the late afternoon trade. It went on to form the day’s low of 8645.55 and finally ended the day at 8661.05, posting a modest loss of 50.65 points or 0.58% while forming a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 09, 2015
Monday’s session is likely to be a acid test for the Markets. So far, the Markets have been trading precisely as analysed and expected in the previous editions of Daily Market Trend Guide as it did test the levels of 8640. The opening of the Markets would be crucial, which would be quiet as such. The behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis the levels of 8640 will decide the trend of the Markets in the immediate short term.

The levels of 8710 and 8765 will act as resistance levels for the Markets. The supports would come in at 8640 and 8550 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 53.8259 and it has reached its lowest value in last 14-days which is bearish. Also, the RSI has formed a fresh 14-period low whereas NIFTY has not yet and this is Bearish Divergence. The Daily MACD remains bearish trading below its signal line. On the Weekly Charts, the Weekly RSI is 63.8525 and it remains neutral showing no failure swings or any bullish or bearish divergence. The Weekly MACD remains bullish trading above its signal line.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY February futures have added over 1.29 lakh shares or 0.52% in Open Interest. This is a moderate change but the importance of this figures is that no unwinding of positions is seen at these levels on Friday.

Taking a cue from pattern analysis, the Markets have tested the levels of 8640 precisely on expected lines. This is a important pattern support for the Markets. It would be crucial for the Markets to maintain levels above 8640 in order to avoid weakness. The behaviour of the Markets vis-à-vis this level would be crucially important in the coming days.

Overall, apart from technical reading, the outcome of the Delhi Polls will also weigh sentimentally for the Markets. The BJP not performing well will not go down well sentimentally with the Markets it will now start doubting the present Government’s actual capability to deliver growth. Keeping all this in view, we are of very clear opinion to keep away from any aggressive stance on either side until Tuesday, when the actual results come out. While keeping overall exposure in absolute control, highly cautious and stock specific approach is advised for the day.
