Nifty Future Gaps Down, May See Further Downside!
- We said in the last post that the increasing uncertainties on the on the political and crude oil fronts may force the market to trade lower or keep it in a wide sideways trading range in the immediate future.
- Nifty futures +opened with a gap at 5500 on Monday and the gap is still remaining open in spite of a late push by the contract to test the day's high in the afternoon.
- As the gap is formed just after the formation of the swing high candle, the existence of this gap may indicate further weakness in the market.
- It seems that the round figures of 5500, 5400, 5300 etc have also become somewhat important reference points for Nifty traders, in addition to the reference levels of 5550, 5450, 5350, 5225 etc., being quoted by this blog for such a long time.
- Any further rise in the crude oil prices may force the Nifty futures to test the lower support of the rising trend line in the immediate future. ( Please see the weekly chart of the Nifty index given in the previous post. )

Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
- The daily chart above shows the gap between the candles of last Friday and Monday. If the gap is not filled with in the next few days, Nifty future may revisit the area between 5250 and 5300.
- However, whether Nifty will break below the rising support line and trade towards the lower support area of 4700 to 4800 is anybody's guess right now.
- All earlier indicated reference points like 5225, 5350, 5450 and 5550 are still good and valid for intra-day analysis and trading. Traders may also consider the round figure reference levels 5300, 5400, 5500 and 5600 for the same purpose.
- Nifty futures and Sensex somehow managed to remain in the positive momentum area as on Monday . However, the momentum signal value of Nifty index has already closed in the neutral momentum area, indicating loss of the upward momentum.
