Another Test of the Highs ... ?
Nifty futures were expected to open flat and trade in a directionless manner as stated in the previous post. It opened flat at 6050 and traded sideways in the morning session. However, by the time the European markets opened with losses nearing a percent each, Nifty futures too sold off to reach a low of 6003. Nifty futures recovered from these lows slowly but the recovery turned in to an intra day short covering rally. The rally almost reached the highs of the day at 6064. The futures closed for the day at 6055. Tuesday's lows of the Nifty Futures and the underlying Nifty index coincided with their 5 Day Exponential Moving Averages ( EMA ). The support seen at the 6000 level and the momentum of the intra day covering rally, which again trapped the sellers, may help Nifty futures to test the rally highs once again on Wednesday.
