December too Starts with a Bang !
We stated in the last post that a test of the 5940 area by the Nifty future was expected, since the market is bouncing from the 100 DMA and it had already tested the breakout point of 5865. It was also stated that closes above the 5940 level will indicate trend reversal as it will lead to the Nifty futures going back to the previous trading range. Now both these conditions have been met and it can be considered that the present downtrend has finished. Or put in other words, it has become a buy on decline market.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Even though the SGX Nifty contracts were trading with some minor losses at the time of market opening, Nifty futures opened exactly flat at 5990 on Wednesday. Nifty futures' daily low of 5875 was recorded in the very beginning and immediately afterwards, the rally to the 5940 area started. Nifty contracts reached the 5940 resistance within an hour of opening and the market spent some significant trading time around this level. When the European markets too opened with increasing gains, the rally regained strength. The high of the day was at 5991. The last trade was at 5982. As the market had started moving upwards, Wednesday's trading was orderly and without much intraday volatility. Now, the first point of support for the Nifty futures is at the previous resistance at 5940. Any immediate correction even below this level can be considered as a buying opportunity unless any unknown negative news surfaces or the international markets too go for a fall. The immediate resistances above the market are at the 6030 and 6090 levels. These levels are marked in the daily chart shown below..

Nifty Trailing Fundamentals
The historical trailing Price Earnings Ratio ( PE Ratio ), Price to Book Value ( PB Ratio ) and Dividend Yield ( DY Ratio ) of the Nifty Index were at 23.78, 3.76 and 1.05 as on 1st December 2010. Readers may please note that the periods in which the trailing PE Ratio of the Nifty index persistently stayed above the 25 mark were limited to just two occasions in the years 2000 and 2007-08. And both these periods coincided with the highs or bubble periods just before the burst of the then bull markets.
