Nifty at the 50 DMA Support ... !!!
The Nifty futures opened flat on last Friday and as usual it tried to test the previous day's highs. However, it failed again to break 5490 resistance, which was mentioned in the last two posts. If the market fails to trade above a resistance level, it normally changes the direction and test the supports. The support at the 5450 - 5460 failed in the test and therefore, the market attracted sudden selling as pointed out in the previous posts. The market has a tendency to retest the support it just broke. Nifty futures have also closed just above it's support from the 50 day moving average ( DMA ) last Friday. The Nifty index and it's derivative have been trading above this support level for the past two and a half months. Therefore, futures may retest the 5450 - 5460 resistance on Monday. If it is able to trade above this level, it may again try to test the 5490 resistance.
As the US markets have recovered last Friday on the back of Fed Chairman's positive statements, the chance of the Nifty futures retesting the resistances have risen.

Hello
I have a query on projected scores for tmrw on the basis of close. Since for the lowest score (-100) the close is above 5410, can we infer that this signal indicates of nifty trading above 5410 in +ve region?

Hello Vaib,
"Since for the lowest score (-100) the close is above 5410,"
Here is a correction ! Its not above, its at or below the level 5417. OK ?
It just implies that a close by the future at or below the 5417 on 30th Aug will correspond to a -100 value for the MS system. Now you may also see that any close at or below 5459 gives a MS value of -50 to -100.
Let me make it's clear. I have no idea or confidence about using the projected closing ranges in according to the applicable MS values as a tool for intra-day trading. The MS is envisaged as a one stop tool to find the momentum direction, something which can be used as a trend following tool. It helps a trader if and when a trend is available. Markets have different phases. Sometimes it stalls. Sometimes it trades in ranges. For the past month or so it is trading in a range. Look at the market internals of the Nifty index too. Some stocks hit new highs. Some the six month lows. Hope I have clarified your question.
As far as possible I am trying to provide the explanations for what happened in the market and what may happen and the reasons therefore in the daily posts.
