End of the Fluke Rally and Another Sell Signal ... ?
As stated in the last post as a possibility, no followup of the NAV rally induced by the fluke European uptick was seen in the morning of Thursday. Therefore, the Nifty futures opened lower with a gap at around the last traded value of Tuesday. The trading seemed to be in a two way mode of buying and selling. The futures finally closed at 5259. Neither the index or the future broke the Wednesday's low. However, neither could breakout about the Tuesday's closing price of 5268.50 either. It seemed that the market accepted the price ranges of Thursday and was a bit undecided about the future direction. Meanwhile, the Momentum Signal has again indicated that the market has closed at the sell territory.

World Markets
The European markets closed with deep losses on Thursday. The FTSE, CAC and DAX closed with losses of 2.26, 2.99 and 1.81 percents. The US markets reached new year 2010 lows in the initial hours of trading on the back of disappointing employment, home sales and production data and were recovering at the time of this post. The US indices were trading with losses of 0.5 % at 11.30 PM IST. It seems that the economic recovery achieved by the bailout money and other government incentives may slowly fade and hence the market weakness.
This blog has been claiming that the Indian market is one of the strongest markets at present. Well, here is the proof. The following is a comparison chart of the BSE Sensex, US S&P 500 and UK FTSE. The chart covers a period of approximately five months. Some analysts have again started to push the great decoupling theory after observing the comparative strength. Last time this theory was extensively (mis)used was in the late 2007 period and it was completely discredited by the following events. This blogger believes that when the panic hits the markets, all non-correlations may break. And this theory may again be discredited.
