Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 5th July, 2010

 Bracing for the Effects of the Rate Hike ...!

Last Friday the RBI hiked the repo and reverse repo rate by 0.25 % each. Since the hike was expected to some extent and the fact that the hike was announced after the banks fixing new base rates, the hike's  immediate  effects on the market remains a bit dicey. Whichever be the verdict of the market, the Nifty future may open lower on Monday.

Last Friday Nifty futures opened  at 5254, near the Thursday's close, and immediately tried to rally. But it could not rise more than 10 points above the Thursday's high of 5275. This blog has repeatedly pointed out that a 10 to 15 point breach of any important support or resistance may fail and those failures are opportunities for day traders to enter in to breakout failure trades. The Nifty futures failed in it's intra-day rally and finally closed at 5243 near the day's low.

Nifty Futures - Daily Chart   

The Nifty future is hovering above it's 20 DMA at present. A decisive break of the 20 DMA may lead the futures reaching the next support levels at the 5100 to 5150 range where the 50 and 100 DMAs  are situated at present.
