Update for 27th June 2011



  Back in the Old Trading Channel, Now What ?

After the stupendous rally of last Friday, Nifty index and the futures contracts are already back in the old trading channel. Now, the important question is whether the present bounce is the start of new leg of medium term trend or not. Unfortunately, the answer to the million dollar question will remain unanswered until the market itself reveals it's hands. As the important question remains unanswered, let's examine the key takeaways from the recent market action. Firstly, the old trading channel was broken. Secondly, as the weekly close was inside the channel, let's give the benefit of doubt to the fact that the channel remains intact for the time being. Third, the 5175 - 5200 area has become more important support or reference area because of the double bottom pattern. Fourth, the falling trend line or supply area still remains above the market. Fifth, the horizontal support at 5175 - 5200 area and the falling trend line is showing a descending triangle pattern in the charts. Fifth, until the market closes above the medium term falling trend line and remains inside the channel, the chances of the market breaking the lower end of the channel remains.

Update for 24th June 2011


 A Recovery is On After the Inside Day Candles !

Contrary to the expectations of a resumption of the downtrend or even a test of the panic low, it seems that Nifty futures contract has started a recovery. Though this author personally didn't believe that the contract would make the recovery, he was forced to comment in the previous post that the formation of two inside day candles in a row might be indicating even a reversal and therefore, the immediate next direction of  the contracts had become highly uncertain. That is why the inside day trading setup was described in the previous post. Now, the recovery is on. As far as the Momentum Signal system is concerned, the last sell signal lead to a maximum favorable excursion ( MFE ) of  319 points in the Nifty futures.  Even if the maximum recommended trailing stop of 2.5 % from the low after the trade was followed, the trade might have lead to profit of  188 points.
