Dice roll continues..
NIFTY took to some level of volatility on the expiry day towards the closing hours after staying totally flat for the first half. As the averages move up along with the MACD line, price is just flat. Value zone on the daily chart has moved up to 5235-5173, still having more than a percent gap between the price and value zone. MACD histogram is drifting low on a slow pace, this is bad. If it continues with the same move for a few more sessions price will just keep moving parallel to the averages while getting divergence on every high. 5350 has become a strong resistance on the charts, while at the bottom we have 5220 which is far away and quite possible to touch if NIFTY turns down from here.
On the hourly charts, after a tight range for 4 hours NIFTY broke down to give a sell signal on both swing and trend systems. At the low of the day MACD histogram retraced bullish divergence to price and had a strong pull back to close positive again. At the closing bar NIFTY goes off trend, so here on breach of last bar high, trend trade gets reversed while swing system covers short & stays away.
Our open long trade on both systems got sold off with a break even on swing system and a loss of 40 point loss on the trend position. This month has been of a tight going, while trend system is in break even, swing system has been continually hitting streak of whipsaw trades. While in the month of May, it was opposite with a big gain too. This is the process of trend following, when the markets are non-trending on the higher timeframes, whipsaw trades are more.
Trades done with prefect money management and position sizing will give good returns in the long run.
