  A Failed Test of the 200 DMA and Now, Set for a Sell-off  !

The Nifty futures opened with some positive bias at 4946 and  traded lower in the initial hour to reach the Wednesday's  closing value . Later, it tried to test the 200 DMA as anticipated in the last post and reached the high of 4977. It sold off again to reach a low of 4915 which also  coincides with the 50 WMA as pointed out in the last posts. The futures closed at 4948 with some gains. 

The important point now is that it has closed below the 200 DMA for two days and the test of the DMA has failed. Now it is set for another sell off. The next support for the futures are at the 4675 - 4700 levels which coincides with the February 2010 lows and the August 2009 highs.
