Nifty Outlook and Trend for 6th May 2019

Medium Term Trend: (UP) 

Market update: Nifty played out on familiar lines today and once again failed to cross 11790 levels. It kept trading  around 11750 levels for majority of the day but failed to break above the usual resistance and dropped to 11700 levels in last 30 mins. It closed 10 odd points down at 11712 levels.

Last week Nifty had closed at 11750 levels, this week was a short truncated week (with only 3 trading days). Nifty closed in negative territory on each day this week but still the weekly close is just less than 40 points down. this shows, for now momentum is missing from the fall. in the last 2 days Dow has fallen by more than 300 points but still markets have not moved. Both Dow and Nifty continue to trade near there last year high (both failing to sustain above it as well).

Having said this, the contracting environment which we are witnessing for last few weeks still continues and all Nifty rallies are getting shorter and shorter. Nifty continues to offer a horizontal resistance line which is sitting at 11775 levels & on the downside the support area is continuously rising. Previously it was 11550 then 11630 then 11650 and now 11700.

On Expiry day Nifty had made a high of 11795 and a low of around 11625 levels, its been 4 days since expiry but market has still not broken the highs and lows of expiry day (pretty interesting) and just moving within that range.

A flat resistance line and moving support zone is indicative of ascending triangle in the making and more often then not such triangles sees a break on the upside ( such breaks may or may not sustain). But if Nifty start breaking recent low and start trading lower then 11475-11500 will come into play. In the current scenario its looking difficult that 11475 levels will be taken out and until that happens the trend will not change.

VIX continue to surge ahead and moved up by 5% ( Its closed above 24 today). Such high levels were seen way back in Q1 2016 when Nifty was at 7K levels. Probably it will cool down once election result are out of its way ( 23rd May).


In nutshell, If Nifty break above 11800 levels then further rise can be expected, however if weakness continues then probably we can test 11550 levels once more (probably break it this time). But in current scenario breaking much below 11500-475 levels is looking a bit difficult so even if Market drops there it once again could be a buying opportunity.


Happy Trading!

Nifty Outlook and Trend for 3rd May 2019


Medium Term Trend: (UP) 

Market update: Nifty again had a volatile day ( in a small range though). It kept swinging wildly in 11700-11780 range for whole day before settling at 11725, down 25 odd points.

Yesterday we had mentioned that 11795 is the immediate critical level for Nifty ( and after that 11850-60) today nifty made a high of 11790 but couldn't cross/sustain it. Market is consistently seeing some selling pressure at 11750-11800 levels at the same time buying is emerging whenever Nifty drops by 80-100 points.

Market is in a narrow range and the range is contracting on daily basis and once this contraction is complete probably we will see expansion in prices. VIX again moved up today and closed at 23. VIX has risen more than 60-70 in last few weeks ( probably due to election result). But rising vix is highly indicative of the fact that prices are not going to be contained in a small range for too long and one should not be surprised to see wild swings in the market.

Nifty might have failed to cross 11790-800 levels but it has spent too much time around 11750 zone ( today was the 5th day in a row when Nifty touched 11750 intraday) and so much of congestion around 11750 could mean that one more leg of Nifty is still pending on the upside. If 11800-850 was the topping zone , we should have seen some bit of fall by now. Usually when tops are made they make an inverted V shape (🔺) which means top area is visited for a short time (once or twice probably) and prices reverses swiftly from there . Too much trading around top could mean that accumulation is going on and market can rise further. this remind me of 10985 levels in Jan/Feb markets kept reacting from 10900 levels but eventually broke it.

Having said this, market is still making rallies which are getting smaller and smaller and the move from lows of 10600 is overstretched and has already put on more than 1200+ points and it still to be corrected hence a word of caution.  However if market falls from here it can take support at 11500 levels and no serious downmove is expected as long as 11475-500 is intact. On the upside keep an eye at 11795-800 levels and 11860 levels as breach of these levels can trigger further buying in short term.

Happy Trading!!

Nifty Outlook and Trend for 2nd May 2019


Medium Term Trend: (UP) 

Market update: Nifty opened weak on Tuesday but once again buying emerged at lower levels ( around 11660) and pushed market back to 11750 levels.

The support area for Nifty is moving up with each day, earlier support was being witnessed at 11550 levels now its moved up to 11650 levels. Resistance too is moving down ( 11860 then 11795 and last week 11760). This contracting pattern is basically pointing to a triangle in making which indicates that after contraction is done prices will start expanding.
Now since this contraction is taking place at top most probably prices are expected to break on the upside however its not mandatory.
In previous post we had mentioned how the rallies are getting shorter. To negate this pattern we need to see current move (which began from 11550) to put on more than 310 points which translates roughly to 11860 levels in Nifty ( which is also the last top area).
Same pattern is witnessed on the hourly chart as well (rallies getting shorter) and the previous rally on hourly chart measured 130 points ( 11630-11760) and now the current rally has measured almost 95 points ( from 11660-11755 on Tuesday). Now if nifty adds further 30-40 points over Tuesdays high then  it will break the current pattern on hourly charts ( as the rally will become bigger than 130 points).
Hence the two critical levels to watch out for are 11795-800 and 11860 ( both of these incidentally are the recent swing high as well). On the downside if Nifty break below 11650 levels then 11500-11475 can be tested. any major downswing can be expected only when 11475 level is taken out, till then trend remains up.
Happy Trading!

Nifty Outlook and Trend for 30th Apr 2019

Medium Term Trend: (UP)
 
Market update: After witnessing a sharp fall on expiry day, Nifty once again rallied 100+ points and closed above 11750 levels.
 
Nifty now has filled the 'down gap' it had created previously ( 11720-11750) thus it seems its ready to touch higher levels now. However it has very strong resistance at 11810 & 11850 levels hence these are the 2 critical levels to watch out for in coming days. Crossing these levels should pave the way for higher levels in Nifty.
 
One thing worth mentioning is that entire rise started from 10800 levels ( though the low point is 10600 the wave started from 10800). since 10800 we have seen 3 rallies ( 4th one is in progress now)
 
1st: 10800 to 11550  = 750 points
2nd:11310 to 11760 =  450 points
3rd:11550 to 11860 =  310 points
4th: 11560 to 11795 = 235 points (in progress and 11795 was hit on Thursday i.e, on expiry) 
 
Now if you look at it time wise, then 1st rally took 13/14 days, 2nd took 7 days,3rd took 4 days and the 4th (current one) has completed 3 days.
 
So it can be observed that magnitude of rallies is getting shorter and shorter both pricewise and timewise ( traders appear in hurry to book profits) at the same time the lower levels around 11550-11625 continue to see buying. Each subsequent rally is around 65-80% of previous rally. Such a scenario might be indicating that probably markets are losing strength slowly.

 Hence one should continue to be cautious and keep a close eye on 11800-1870 levels to see if the current rally remains shorter than previous one or become bigger and start a new trend. Move above 11870 ( which is also the previous high) will negate the current structure and will probably give a new thrust to the upmove we are witnessing currently. This is a short week ( just 3 days) so that's another reason to stay cautious.
 
Happy Trading!
