A Day of Lackluster ( Bandh ) Trading ... !!
The market opened without much ado on the bandh Monday and traded with very low volumes. The high-low range was also very narrow. However, Monday's trading has proved that the rate hike by the RBI has already been discounted by the market and consequently, some of the interest sensitives even rallied mildly. Even though the Momentum Signal has been indicating negative momentum for the past three days, the market has not broken down below the support of the 30th June's low of 5225. This low is also supported by the 20 DMA at 5205 levels. As the market action has not been supporting the sell signal, the market may also stage a recovery in the next trading sessions. It may also be noted that the Indian market has stood like a rock at a time of all round losses in the Chinese and western markets in the immediate past.
The US markets are closed on Monday on account of their independence day on 4th of July. The European markets are also trading lackluster in the absence cues from the US markets.
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
The last three daily candles have been kind of dojis and have traded inside the 30th June's up-candle, indicating indecision. Whichever the direction of the market, it may move out of the last three day's range in next trading sessions.
