Another Narrow Range Low Volume Day, But What Next ?
- Nifty futures opened lower on Thursday and directionless trading was seen for the entire session. Volumes also remained comparatively lower.
- There were just two outcomes after the completion of the session. First, Nifty futures closed with some losses for the day. Second, another subtle gap has been left in the charts as the previous day's last traded price ( 5532 ) and the official close price ( 5542 ) were not reached by the contracts on Thursday.
- Sometimes, these subtle gaps may indicate further weakness in the markets. ( However, the effects of these gaps are lesser when such gaps occur in a trading range. )
- Since the market's technical position has not changed much during the day, no further commentaries are added in this post.
- However, the losses being suffered by the US markets on Thursday may have it's negative effects, especially at the open on Friday.
