Finally, Bulls Take a Breather ... !!!
Nifty futures opened at 5842, slightly lower than the previous day's last traded price, on Thursday. As is common in strong bull markets, market immediately tried to test the previous day's high. It reached the previous day's high of 5875 and then started the sideways to negative trading before the monetary policy announcement by the RBI.
The RBI announced 25 and 50 basis point ( 100 basis points = 1 % ) hikes in the repo and reverse repo rates. ( Repo is the process through which RBI lends to the banks against collateral of government securities in the very short term and Reverse repo is the process through which banks can keep excess liquidity with the RBI in the very short term. ) The hike of 50 basis points in the reverse repo seemed to be beyond the consensus estimate. The overall market reaction to the hike seems to indicate that the RBI is still behind the curve in raising the interest rates to control inflation.
Just after the policy announcement, the market recorded the then day's low. However, instead of making any further losses, the market enacted another strong rally above the then high and recorded a new high of 5916 and 5902 in the futures and the index respectively. Even though Thursday was not expected to be a positive day for the markets because of the continuous positive closes for so any days, anyone who have sold in the morning session in expectation of the consolidation would have made losses by the triggering of the stop losses above 5875. This particular matter is brought to the attention of the readers just to express the due weightage to be given to aligning of the positions to the dominant trend of the market in trading. Well, the dominant trend is up and it is better to play the long side, provided the entries at suitable places.

Markets may pull back till 5400 and surge again, be cautious with your longs and buy only when markets pull back. Markets have to break 4700 decisively in September itself, else NIFTY can reach 6536 in next 3 months before crash ensues
Hi Forecasting Markets,
It would be better if you would also describe the reason for your analysis. I am not sure whether statements like " Markets have to break 4700 decisively in September itself,... " have any value as I believe market doesn't follow anyone's opinion or it goes according to any kind of strict count by anyone. OK, let's take it from day to day and in the meantime let's also believe that anything is possible.
