A New Week and A New Test of the Highs ... ?
Last Friday's trading in the Nifty futures was completely uneventful. The Nifty futures opened with a positive gap of 17 points at 5500. The open price also became the day's high. From the open itself it almost became another reenactment of the previous day's trading. The futures hovered just near the previous day's last traded price. This has lead to a candle of very narrow range ( 30 points ) in the charts. Even though the futures broke below the previous day's low, in the absence of a corresponding break in the underlying index no damage was done. This blog has opined many a time that a break of 10 points in the Nifty futures above or below any particular reference point is of not much consequence according to previous experience. The Nifty futures have traded in a narrow range just below the resistances for the past two trading days indicating a consolidation. As the markets all over the world have gained in the past week, another test of the highs by the Nifty future is anticipated possibly on Monday itself or in the early part of the new week. Further direction of the market seems to depend on the outcome of the test.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
Last two day's trading has not changed the technical position of the markets. A breakout above the 5505 level may pave the way for a test of the previous high and resistance at 5550. The supports given in the previous posts and shown in the chart above remain unchanged.
