The Break of Low Also Fails and Now What ?
In the previous post it was opined that Nifty future may continue with the downward movement seen on late Monday and try to test the 5940 support below. However, it was also mentioned that even if the futures contracts trades down to the 5940 levels, it might still be in the positive momentum area. As expected the futures traded down on Tuesday after opening slightly higher at 6005. However, the expected test of 5940 ended at a higher point at 5956, on the back of the strength in the Reliance stock and other commodities stocks. However, the market breadth remained negative with widespread losses in the banking, mid and small cap sectors. As the Nifty future is still trading in the positive momentum area, it recovered at the second half of the trading session.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
The intra-day in Nifty futures remained more or less around the new reference level ( given in the previous post being Monday's and Thursdays low ) at 5990. The trading remained in a very tight range for most of the trading day too. A keen observation of the intra-day chart shows that Tuesday's trading also provided another of those text book cases of useful scalping method for the a narrow range intra-day market. This trade would have been able to generate a profit of nearly 25 points. ( Please see the post dated 3rd December for deatiled description of the trading method.). Nifty futures closed almost at the day's high at 6020.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
As the market recovered from the test of lows, Tuesday's candle has again seen with a long tail at the bottom. Nifty futures closed with a premium of 35 points on Tuesday. As the European markets have closed with strong gains and the US market indices are trading with gains of more than half a percent at the time of writing this post, the market may make another try to test the higher reference points at 6030 and 6090 levels. Since the overall market is not exhibiting much strength, traders may remain cautious. The reference levels indicated in the previous posts still remain valid for Wednesday's trade.
