Another New Thirty Month High ... !!!
The Nifty futures opened near the previous day's last traded area on Thursday and remained flat for more than half an hour. However, by the end of first hour of trading, the previous day's momentum carried it over the 5500 levels . As the underlying index moved further upwards, the futures too moved up albeit with a discount. Barring a small dip in the mid session, the markets held the gains and finally closed at 5528, another new closing high. As the 5550 area may still offer resistance and due to the late weakness seen in the international markets, the futures may at best trade flat or move downwards to test the new supports at the 4475 to 4490 area in the short term.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
Readers might be curious why this blog is marking 5550 as a resistance. Here is the reason. The last bull market's end started with a crash in the month of January 2008. The markets crashed from the 6325 levels to the 4425 levels in very short span of fifteen days in that month. The technical bounce which followed the first crash ended at the very same index level of 5545, in the month of February 2008. Thursday's new thirty month high also coincides with the same level of 5545. Please see the monthly chart of the S&P Nifty index below for more details.

Some readers may again be curious to ask whether markets have memories ! Well, the answer is a 'No'!! But the market participants have !!!

"Readers of this blog may please note the following 'Risk Factor' which is being repeated almost daily these days. The markets are trading in small ranges at the top end of a slow climb and for all practical purposes the trading is range bound. Range bound markets are not suitable for the profitable trading of the Momentum Signal system."
