Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 2nd Aug. 2010

A Cliffhanger Day in the Offing ... !!!

The Nifty futures opened lower on last Friday. After failing an intra-day excursion to test the trading range highs, it slowly declined to close at the lower end of the range. The Nifty future has been hanging above the 5350 level since 12th July, 2010. Even though the Momentum Signal has indicated a sell, the market needs to confirm a downtrend by trading below the said support level of 5350.

Even though the market has been expecting a profit growth of 25% or so, the quarterly results seems to have fallen short of the expectations. A study by the Business Line reports that the quarterly growth of profits has  only been in the lower end of the double digits. As the markets have been trading at the top end of Price Earnings Ratios ( Nifty PE was at 22.31 on last Friday )  in expectation of a 25% growth of net profits, a correction seems to be in order now.
