Will the Uptrend Continue in to the New Year ?
In the last day of trading in the just gone by year, Nifty futures closed at a new swing high. As expected, Nifty futures tested the 6175 - 6180 resistance and closed just below these levels. As for the title question, 'Will the uptrend continue in to the new year ?' - the answer is as uncertain as ever. And nobody ever knows for sure what exactly the market may do in any time frame but for some generalisations. What we, the traders, can do at best, is to follow the market day by day and come to the best conclusions, which may or may not become correct by hindsight. That is why we are forced to follow a system of trading and go by the evidence thereof. This is exactly where the Ultimate Momentum Signal trading system helps the traders. The system assumes that the uptrend continues until the system signals an exit or reversal.
Please note that the next update will be published a bit late but hopefully before the end of trading on Tuesday, the 4th of January, 2011.
