Another Sideways Day and a Doji Candle ....!
The Nifty futures again opened with positive bias on Wednesday and traded upwards till it reached a high which was beyond the yesterday's selling area. It reached a high of 5265 which was very near to the trailing stop of 5270. Unable to trade higher with no clear international cues, the futures traded down to reach a low of 5230.1 and finally closed at 5241. In the process it produced a doji candle which indicates indecision by the market players about the future direction of the market. The technical position of the market has not changed in Wednesday's trading. The trailing stop remains at 5270.
