Nifty - 23 Dec 2011 - Whipsaw to continue

Nifty is so precariously poised, that it is anybody's market now.


As discussed yesterday, in a two way swinging market, the Nifty traded between 4633 and 4741. Today, given the global cues, the nifty is likely to open positive, but is nearing short term resistances, where the bears could strike with venom.

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power increases from -44 to -9 Bear Power reduces from -150  to -116, showing that all the efforts by the Bulls over the past 2 sessions have still not got them into the positive, and now the bears need to show some strength, else the nifty can run away upwards.

2) The 8EMA has now turned flat, while all the rest EMAs and the DMAs continue to point downwards. The nifty is trading near its 13 EMA which is at 4749 and could be considered a pivot point for launching fresh positions.

3) The stochastics are now out of the oversold zone and are pointing upwards.



4) In the above chart, the volumes in yesterday's rise have depleted, indicating suspicion on the rise. The top and the bottom Bollinger Bands are turning flat, indicating volatile consolidation. The MACD is still in the negative, but is rising, which is in favor of the Bulls. The ADX is showing that though the strength of the downfall has come down, it is still stronger than the upswing, indicating that the bears might come in any time now.

5) Considering the above, we have devised our trading plan for the day as under

a) Below 4770, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 4790 and a target of 4690. We will add to these short positions only below 4640.

b) Above 4665, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 4645 and a target of 4730. We will add to these long positions only above 4800.

Nifty - 22 Dec 2011 - Two way swings

With the Nifty in neutral zone, the whipsaw might start again.

As discussed yesterday, the relief rally on the Nifty did emerge late into the trading session. The Nifty closed at 4693 before just touching our target of 4710. Today, the Nifty is likely to open flat and is likely to swing both ways in a range bound market.

1) The Elder Ray readings :Bull Power increases from -124 to -44 Bear Power reduces from -230 to -150. This shows that the Bulls have tried hard, but have not managed to get into their positive zone. The Bears have given up some of their ground, but are still safe in their negative zone.

2) The EMAs continue to point downwards, reminding of the intermediate downtrend on the Nifty. The DMAs are also sliding down.

3) The fast stochastics have moved out of the oversold zone, and are pointing upwards, hinting that the uptrend might continue for a while.



4) In the above chart, the nifty has left the lower Bollinger Band, which is expanding downwards. With the upper Bollinger Band flattening, the indication is that the Nifty may slip back to its lows in a few sessions. The MACD is in the negative but is rising, indicating that the uptrend might continue. The ADX is suggesting a strengthening of the up-move but the strength of the down-move is still more than the strength of the up-move, and there is no buy signal yet from the ADX.

5) Considering the above our trading plan for the day is as under

a) Below 4725, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 4755 and a target of 4660. We will add to these short positions only below 4635.

b) Above 4665, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 4640 and a target of 4710. We will add to these long positions only above 4760.
