Nifty Futures Recover to Close Above the 100 Day MA !
The last post conveyed that the Indian market is going through a peculiar situation on the back of the rumors and other pieces of bad news and therefore, any clear analysis of what happens on a particular a trading day is beyond anyone's capability. However, it was also clearly stated that Nifty future has 'some support at the 5725 to 5750 area being the previous low and from the top line of the previous trading channel.' The indicated reference points for Friday's trade were at 5650, 5750, 5830, 5860 and 5900. The intra-day chart of Nifty futures is given below to examine the last Friday's market action.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Nifty future opened near Thursday's low and the day's low of 5748 was established almost at the reference point of 5750. Thereafter, the contract recovered to the previous day's last traded price of 5785. Once the contract traded above this level, the futures immediate went to the 5830 reference level. As no significant selling emerged at this level, the contract traded up to the 5860-5865 level by around 11.00 AM. Trading remained range bound between the two reference points at 5830 and 5860 till around 2.30 PM. In the last hour of trading, Nifty futures tried to trade higher towards the next reference level of 5900. However, Friday's high was limited to 5888 and the close was at 5875. The important reference levels for Monday's trading are again 5750, 5830, 5860, 5900, 5940, 5990 and 6030.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
Last Friday's green candle with it's open below the previous candle's body and a close which was above the 50 % mark of the previous red candle's range indicate the support at lower levels and even a short term reversal. The last week's close is in the middle of the present trading range and therefore, the immediate direction of the market is unclear. The chart shows that Nifty future has established a weak pattern of a higher high, a lower low, a lower high at the 6350, 5725 and 6090 levels. The contract is presently reversing from the support at the previous low between 5725 - 5750. Now the important question is whether Nifty futures breaks above the lower high at the 6090 - 6100 levels. Until this break out happens, a break of the lower support or sideways trade inside the present range is possible.
Nifty Futures - Daily Moving Averages
Nifty future is trading between it's 50 and 100 day simple moving averages ( DMA ) at 5838 and 5074 respectively. The latest 20 and 200 DMAs are at 5944 and 5520 respectively.
Nifty Index - Weekly Chart
The weekly chart shows the top boundary line of the previous trading range extending support to the index at the 5720 levels. Market has already reversed from this line twice and therefore, a break of this support can lead to deep corrections which may extend even to the lower boundary line of the previous trading range.

Significant reduction of Nifty call options open interest ( OI ) were seen at the strikes at 5900 and 6000 to the tune of 9.5 and 11.7 lakhs respectively.
