Charts indicating indecisive trading
Nifty formed an inside bar, trading within last Thursday’s range
The equity prefers to consolidate throughout the week before the event risk i.e. elections in 5 States. The benchmark index traded in just 204.65 points range and finally closed with 62.90 points or 0.32 per cent gain. BSE Sensex gained by 0.27 per cent. The Mid-cap and Small-cap indices were up by 0.57 per cent and 0.39 per cent. On the sectoral front, The Nifty Realty and Metal indices advanced by 1.44 per cent and 1.03 per cent. The PSU Bank and IT indices were down by 1.73 per cent and 0.42 per cent, respectively. The India VIX has declined by 4.21 per cent to 11.33. The market breadth is not so positive. The FIIs purchased net in the last week, with a huge Friday buying worth Rs2,625.21 crore. Overall, the FIIs sold Rs5,101.72 crore, and the DIIs bought Rs9,814.84 crore during this month.
The Nifty has formed an inside bar, trading within last Thursday’s range. While staying in a very narrow range, the Nifty was unsuccessful in moving in a decisive direction. Within the sideways, the index has not closed below the previous day’s low, which is a positive aspect. On Thursday, it formed a shooting star candle and almost got the confirmation for its bearish implications.
The pattern analysis shows that the Nifty is still in the counter-trend rally and in the rally attempt status. The volumes were lower for the last five days, which is a characteristic of a pattern. If the Nifty trades in the 19,627-875 range, sideways action will continue. For an uptrend, the index must close above 19,875 points to form a higher h igh, which is a trend reversal signal.
The benchmark index is trading above all key short and long-term averages. The 8EMA support is at 19,725 level. A close below this will give initial signals of weakness. But, to confirm a trend reversal, it must close below the 19,627 points, with added distribution days.
The RSI is flat around the 60 zone. But the negative divergence on the hourly chart will get a confirmation for its bearish implications if it closes below 48. The daily MACD shows a decline in momentum. There is no major price influencing factor seen in the indicators.
The volatility is completely absent, although some intraday spikes were observed. The India VIX is still in the lower range. The Implied Volatility (IV) is also around 10, which is not suitable for shorting the market or taking aggressive leveraged positions. As there is no technical development on the chart, focus on the previous week’s low of 19,675 points and the 20-week average (19,575) as a key point of support. Only below this support zone may we see a sharp decline. Otherwise, the market is in a neutral to positive bias.
