Long trade call on the NIFTY futures has come today on the daily charts, market made a strong recovery from lows closing with an above 1% gain. Trade long, above high on a daily position. As the MACD histogram has gone below zero and the histogram has no bearish divergence yet, NIFTY is likely to reach for a new high in the current up move which would in all likeliness be a new 52 week on the Index. The possibility of 5400 again is on the cards, if the strength is strong we may see the NIFTY reach next resistance at 5450.00. But, at the higher levels, daily chart would retrace strong bearish divergence and has a fair chance to a good bear hammering.
Hourly charts took off from the open and gave a long trade signal on the charts. There was an interesting pattern developed today. While the Index was surging higher, the number of stocks on the NIFTY losing their trendiness increased. NIFTY began the day with a 57% trendiness, dropping with every incoming hour and closing with 46%. It is common sense that if the component stocks do not trend the Index will hold the sideways pattern, but an exception is when the market goes into a transition. At close we have 30 Stocks trending on the daily while it is only 16 stocks that are trending in the hourly. Most of the stocks on the hourly charts have very low price range and are coiling between EMAs.
While there is a strong probability of prices snapping back to value, there is a fairly good chance that the market would turn into a strong bullish trend too. We need few more up close hours before this clarity emerges.
