Update on The Ultimate Momentum Signal - 5th Aug. 2010

   Expectations Not Belied ... !!!

Here is quote from the last post : "Belying all expectations of a probe of the 5465 to 5475 levels,  the Nifty futures traded almost absolutely flat for the entire trading day on Tuesday."

On Wednesday too, the Nifty futures traded almost flat till the last half an hour. It rallied in the last half an hour of trading fulfilling the expectations of a probe to  the 5465 to 5475 levels. The Nifty future closed at 5464, at a  new thirty month high. As the market is still  trading in a range, it remains to be seen how far the range will be expanded,  or in other words, whether there is any immediate upside.

Nifty Futures - Daily Chart  

S&P CNX Nifty Index - Weekly Chart

The above weekly chart of the Nifty index covers a period of twelve months. It is seen that the index has been mostly trading inside an upward moving channel for the past year. Even if the market attains new highs in the present rally, it seems that the top end of the channel will offer resistance to the market. Therefore, the upside of the market may be limited to the 5500 to 5550 levels. ( However, market being market, any irrational exuberance can happen and the rally may be extended too !! ).  Since the market is trading with rich valuations, traders and investors may reduce their leverage, if any, with their long positions.
