Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal, 23rd March, 2010

 The Breakout - Day 15

 Caution - Make or Brake it Days Ahead... !

On Monday, the Nifty futures opened 70 points below the previous day's last trade  as a consequence to the shock rate hike by the RBI and due to the weakness in the Hong Kong and the Singapore markets. It traded upwards till 11 o'clock and thereafter started the slow decline. Finally, it closed at 5207. Surprisingly, the trialing stop at 5170 stood unaffected during the day and the system has  not yet signaled an exit.

Nifty Futures - Daily Chart  

At the time of writing this post, the European markets have recouped their intraday losses and the US markets are trading in the positive territory. Barring the Hang Seng index, no other major equity index seems to  be in trouble as on Moday. The Japanese markets were closed on Monday. The bunching of a trading holiday on Wednesday and the expiry of the derivatives on Thursday makes the markets very unpredictable. Watch out for make or  break it kind of days ahead...!
