Nifty - 20 Apr 2012 - Bullish undertones

Amid weak global cues and bullish undertones, the Nifty likely to swing within a range.

As discussed yesterday, there were to be no breakouts yet. The Nifty opened with a up gap of 21 points and closed with a meager gain of 10 points above that. It was however not able to scale the previous day's high by any reasonable measure. However, the undertones of a bullish trend are visible, as are always when a range bound market is at the top end of its trading range. However the global cues today are bleak. 

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power reduces from +75 to +66 Bear Power rises from +26 to +15 indicating that although the Bulls have lost some power, the Bears are still weak and were not able to push down Nifty that 15 points to regain their lost grounds. For today, the Bulls need to scale 5360 to retain their momentum whereas the Bears need to pull down the Nifty below 5285 to return back to safety.

2) The Nifty is trading above its key EMAs but just below its 50 DMA at 5338. 

3) The stochastics are just about to touch the overbought zone. In a range bound market, this is a good indicator of a top approaching.



4) In the above chart, the volumes have depleted in yesterday's rise indicating that Bulls are lack of sustainability of the rise. The MACD is now rising and is supportive of a up move. The ADX continues to tell us that the market is still trend less and that the Bulls are weakening, but the Bears are weak too. The Bollinger Band is about to expand indicating higher volatility in coming sessions.

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

a) Around 5340, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 5360 and a target of 5285. We will add to these short positions only below 5270.

b) Around 5280, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 5270 and a target of 5325. We will add to these long positions only above 5365. 

Happy Trading !!!

Nifty - 19 Apr 2012 - No breakouts yet

With no follow up action on part of both the bulls and the bears, Nifty stays ranged.

As discussed yesterday, the roadblocks ahead, made the Nifty to stumble and retreat. Pegging upon global cues and bolstered by the RBI action, the Nifty opened with a nice gap up of 30 points, and then stumbled at around 5340 as suggested by us, and retreated back to 5300. Today, the global cues are not so encouraging and we may see a flattish opening.

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power rises from +36 to +75 Bear Power reduces from -54 to +26 indicating that now the Bears need to come into action as they have lost valuable grounds. The Bulls seem to have carried out the tough task as of now. For today, the Bulls need to overcome 5350 to maintain their momentum, whereas the Bears need to breach 5270 to regain their lost grounds.

2) The Nifty is trading above its key EMAs which are pointing upwards, but are stacked inversely. 

3) The stochastics are still in the neutral region and are pointing upwards.



4) In the above chart, the volumes have depleted in yesterday's rise on the Nifty indicating lack of followup action on part of the bulls. The MACD is still in the negative and is horizontal, however the MACD histogram has turned minor positive. The ADX is suggesting a trend less market with a bias towards the up move. The Parabolic SAR continues with its buy signal.

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

a) Below 5315, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 5345 and a target of 5270. We will add to these short positions only below 5240.

b) Around 5275, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 5250 and a target of 5315. We will add to these long positions only above 5350.

Nifty - 18 Apr 2012 - Roadblocks ahead

After the RBI surprise yesterday, the Bulls may lead, but there are roadblocks ahead.

As discussed yesterday, it was a tough task for the bulls, where in we saw the Nifty break day lows before managing to overcome the day high. In spite of the RBI surprising on the positive side, the Nifty managed a gain of just 63 points, when we have seen Nifty gaining more than 120 points on many occasions in the recent past. Today, on the back of global cues, the Bulls have got another shot in the arm and they can generate some momentum now.

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power rises from -24 to +36 Bear Power reduces from -74 to -54 indicating that the Bulls and the Bears are now equidistant and safe in their own zones, and this may increase the volatility. For today, the Bulls need to overcome 5310 to maintain their bullish momentum whereas the Bears need to drag the Nifty down to 5260 to remain safe in their zone.

2) The Nifty is now trading above its key EMAs and its 100 and 200 DMAs. The 50 DMA at 5339 is a key level to watch out for. A close above that, will pump in great momentum for the Bulls.

3) The stochastics is in the neutral zone and is pointing horizontal, indicating lack of direction.



4) In the above chart, the volumes have increased with the rise in the Nifty, indicating a bullish surge. The MACD is still in the negative and is horizontal. The ADX is also suggesting that no clear trend exists, and is giving equal bias to both the Bulls and the Bears. The Parabolic SAR continues with its buy signal.

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

a) Around 5340, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 5355 and a target of 5275. We will add to these short positions below 5240 only.

b) Around 5270, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 5240 and a target of 5320. We will add to these long positions above 5355 only.

Nifty - 17 Apr 2012 - Tough task for Bulls

With high expectations from the RBI monetary policy, it is a tough task ahead for Bulls.

As discussed yesterday, the Nifty was nearing key supports, and a minor bounce back that was expected did happen. The Nifty closed with a minor gain of 19 points. Today, the RBI monetary policy announcement will be a major deciding factor for the next direction the Nifty takes on.

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power reduces from +44 to -24 Bear Power also reduces from  -77 to -74 indicating that both the Bulls and the Bears are cautiously waiting and are wary of the next direction the market may take. For today, the Bulls need to overcome 5250 so as to return to their safe zone, whereas the Bears need to breach 5175 to maintain their negative momentum.

2) The Nifty is trading well below its key EMAs and below its 50 DMA (5339). The 200 DMA ( 5144) and the 100 DMA (5095) may offer the much needed support to any drastic fall.

3) The stochastics are in the neutral zone and are pointing downwards.



4) In the above chart, the volumes have again dried up in yesterday's minor gain on the Nifty, indicating lack of force behind this rise. The MACD is in the negative and now it is threatening to fall away. The ADX is still indicating a direction less market and is still favoring the Bears. The Parabolic SAR continues to give out a Buy signal.

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

a) Above 5215, we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 5195 and a target of 5270. We will add to these long positions above 5290 only.

b) Around 5275, we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 5290 and a target of 5210. We will add to these short positions below 5180 only.
