Nifty Futures Close Below the 100 Day MA !
The last post was titled "Nifty Heavy Weight Stocks Also Turn Losers !", but this author couldn't have anticipated the kind of losses suffered by the market on Thursday. Even though the previous posts could report about the lack of volume, all round negative market internals and a deteriorating Put Call Ratio ( PCR ), the losses were beyond expectations. It seems that the excesses of the recent bull market and especially the operators and FII led the vertical rally from the 5550 level to the previous high of 6300 plus levels, is being set right by the market now. Now, on observing the all round losses suffered by many traders and investors, this author is forced to reproduce some quotes from the post dated 9th September, 2010, which talked about the then bull fury and it's possible excesses and after effects.
Excerpts from the post dated 9th September, 2010
"Any breakout above the trend channel may be associated with a mad scramble to get in to stocks by the retail crowd. The tipsters and talking heads will have their time in the lime light. Analysts will start finding new reasons for buying stocks at high prices. Euphoria will prevail. And no resistances will stand in the way of the mad bulls. All the dud stocks may become the favorites of the masses once again. And when the bubble bursts, another set of traders and investors will learn their stock market lessons. ( To read another short description of this scenario, click here to read the post dated 23rd August, 2010. )
To those readers who might be wondering why this blogger is hell bent against another super duper rally in the stock markets, let it be made clear that this blogger is not hell bent against any rally or otherwise. It is only because this blogger likes an orderly stock market which leaves some scope for appreciation for the buyers in the long term. If the market overshoots on the upside, it will lead to all kinds of non sustainable investments and this in turn will lead to bad markets tomorrow. Higher stock prices makes dubious companies raise capital for questionable projects which will fail at the first signs of economic hurdles. In the end, an overpriced market is as bad or far worse for the economy than an under priced market. In fact bubbles leads to wealth destruction than the claimed wealth creation."
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Thursday's trading could be divided in to three distinct phases. In the first phase, Nifty future opened flat and the trading remained between the reference levels of 5900 and 5940. Once the 5900 level was broken, trading went in to the lower range between the 5860 and 5900 reference levels. And once the 5860 level was also taken out, all panic broke out and the contract easily broke through the 5830 100 DMA support to reach almost the next indicated support at 5750. The day's low was 5757. Nifty futures recovered at the end of the session to close at 5792.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
Nifty future has closed below the 100 day simple moving average ( 100 DMA ) at 5830. The contract has some support between 5725 and 5750 being the previous low and from the top line of the previous trading channel. The immediate lower supports are at 5650 levels. The next level of major supports are in the band between 5350 to 5550 levels being the previous trading range before the breakout from the then trading channel. The 200 DMA of Nifty future is present at 5510 levels. Since the present fall is directly related to the special situations prevailing here, no clear analysis of the market is possible at present. If the international markets too join the downtrend, market may undergo another leg of heavy losses. The important reference points for the Friday's trading are 5650, 5750, 5830, 5860 and 5900.
