Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 8th April, 2010

 Sensex Hits 18 K, But Another Doji in Nifty Futures...!

On Wednesday the BSE Sensex touched the 18000 mark after a long period of twenty four months. It achieved the feat immediately after the opening of trade. It revisited the 18 K mark at around noon while the S&P Nifty and Nifty Futures achieved fresh twenty four month highs of 5399 and 5398 respectively. However, markets traded downwards and the futures finally closed at 5381. In the process the futures formed another doji candle, a bit more long legged than the Tuesday's doji. Doji candles indicate indecision by the market. It can be a sign of weakness ahead. Meanwhile, Greek bond spreads are widening, indicating the higher risk perception by the international investors.
