A Day of Gains, but a Finish Near the Day's Low ... !!!
As expected the Nifty futures opened at 5311 with a gap near the high of Tuesday . The futures even rallied further to reach a high of 5339.50 by the mid-day. However, it could not hold on to the morning's gains and finally closed at 5305. Thursday's trading has resulted in to a shooting star kind of doji candle, which normally indicates a reversal or price rejection at the higher levels. Therefore, Thursday's market action has failed to instill the confidence of the bulls.
