Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 19th Aug. 2010

  Another Test of the Highs ... !!!

Even though this blog was anticipating a test of the highs in the morning session,  it was not to be. ( Please see the previous post for details. )  The Nifty futures opened and remained range bound as usual till about about 2.00 PM on Wednesday.  Till that time the futures were confined to a very small trading range. However, the absence of any downtrend seems to have lead to a bout of panic short covering. Once the Tuesday's highs were broken, the futures never looked back and closed almost at the highest point of the day at 5492.  The close was at a new thirty month high too.

As this blog has written many times in the past, the 5500 to 5550 area may offer resistance to the markets.
