Is This Still a Bounce or a Reversal ?
- Nifty Future opened some 30 points higher on Monday, following the positive bounce on Friday.
- The day's low remained at 5336, leaving a small gap of 6 points between the trading ranges of Friday and Monday.
- Nifty futures rallied above the minor resistance level of 5350 and rallied strongly for the entire trading session.
- Though the 4400 - 4410 level was expected to be a minor resistances, being the intersection point of the falling trend line applicable to the last leg of the fall, the Nifty contracts didn't encounter any resistance at the level.
- Nifty futures spent some time trading in a range between 5420 and 5440 before rallying to a high of 5468 before closing for the day at 5455.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
- Nifty future has already rallied 292 points in less than two day's of trading. And this rally has happened just when most analysts were predicting that Nifty may reach 4800 or below. This rally again proves that too much of consensus always turns a market in to very a dangerous place. ( However, this rally has not yet ruled out another leg of the down trend later on. )
- Readers may please note that this blog has been writing for some time that the market may bounce from the 5225 or 5125 area before deciding the next direction.
- The Momentum Signal system has indicated a buy as on the close of trading on Monday. However, since the Nifty contracts have already gained so much in such a short time, the rally may slow down or even test the supports below before trying to test the higher resistances. Therefore, lower position limits would be more ideal for the present buy signal.
- Higher resistances are at 5565, 5635 and 5795.
Nifty Futures - Moving Averages Chart
- The above chart shows the various simple daily moving averages ( DMAs ) of Nifty futures.
- The 10,20,50,100 and 200 DMAs of Nifty futures are present at 5378, 5520, 5788, 5935 and 5637.
- Therefore, the 20, 200 and 50 DMAs may also act as resistances for the time being.
- The option open interest data also seems to suggest that the 200 DMA at 5637 may act as a strong resistance for the time being.
- Therefore, the chances of a retest of the lower boundary of the old trading channel may still remain open, even if the present rally continues and later on, fails at any of the resistances mentioned above.
