The 5550 Resistance Still Stands Tall ... !!!
The Nifty futures opened at 5540 on Tuesday. The important resistance point of 5550 stood tall for the fourth successive trading day on Tuesday. Therefore, as envisaged in many previous posts on this blog, the Nifty futures tested the new support at the area between 4475 and 4490. It hit a day's low of 5480 within the support area and recovered from there to close at 5508 for the day. Tuesday's market action seems to have averted the scenario of a breakout above 5550 and the resultant irrational exuberance and euphoria as described in the post dated 23rd August, 2010, at least for the time being. The domestic institutions seem to have sold heavily on Tuesday's trading session. Meanwhile, the current month future has gone in to a premium against the discount seen in the recent past which indicates either buying or short covering at the end of the day.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
The international markets are still in a correction mode at present. The appearance of two star candles followed by a break just below an important resistance can be termed as a bearish pattern. However, one day long correction will not usually signal the end of a long rally. Hence, a retest of the recent highs and even a breakout above the resistance can not be ruled out completely. The Nifty future has support at 5450, 5350 and 5225 levels at present. Any close below 5450 is the minimum requirement for signaling a correction. The start of an intermediate downtrend is to be confirmed by the formation of lower highs and lower lows in the chart.
