Two Day's Consolidation Over, The Rally can Resume Now !!!
Nifty future was expected to open flat to negative on Tuesday because of the previous day's profit booking and moderate losses in the international bourses. As expected, Nifty future opened flat at 6181 and the day's low of 6169 was recorded at the open itself. Since the market had gained so much in a short time, it had to spent some time to consolidate. It is even normal for a market to test the previous resistance to see whether the said level acts as a support. On Tuesday, Nifty futures broke the previous day's low in this process of consolidation but the break was limited to a meager 7 points. This blog has been writing that a 10 or 12 points break of any significant reference points ( read resistance, support etc. ) in the Nifty futures is not a confirmed break out or break down. As such, the futures moved up and traded in a two way / sideways mode for the whole trading day. However, the close was at the lower end of the narrow trading range at 6175.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
Nifty futures have completed the two days long consolidation without giving up any of the gains it made in the previous week as the last two closes have coincided with close of last Friday. ( 6175 - 6177 ) As the European and the US markets are gaining overnight, we may expect a higher opening and a test of rally high of 6248 on Wednesday. We may even see a breakout above the rally high if the momentum persists. Traders may watch out for the market heavy weight and laggard Reliance stock on Wednesday.
