NIFTY for a New High
NIFTY had a gap up and closed above channel, rising MACD Lines, MACD histogram nearing previous peak. All these on the daily chart indicate that the market is poised to take off previous highs and not only that if there is a rest and then a take off, we are likely to see the continuation of the bullish trend. But before that, there is a likely pull back to value zone, which is today at 5132-5179 & quite far away from the current price. Either it will be a turn around from here in a slow pace so that the averages intersect at a higher level or will be another higher close in the coming session. There is a swing long position in the offing.
An interesting development with todays price move is that the weekly chart has also opened into a bullish trend. On the weekly it shows that there is a possibility of a false break, while that is a far cry in todays perspective.
Hourly charts show great strength with a peak on the MACD lines along with the price peak. The value zone on the last hour was at 5289-5327, our trend long position has locked 250+ points gain so far and a near 350 point gain at peak levels. This is an astounding performance for the hourly charts. It reminds us the power of trend following, lesser work more profits. Only compulsion is discipline.
It was unfortunate that the swing traders were left lonely in this robust move. Still, a wait will reward anyone in a handsome way.
The top performing sectors today were FINANCIALS with a 2.10% gain and BASIC MATERIALS with a 2% gain. STEEL and Industry groups have recorded above 5% gains in each. HINDALCO has given a trend buy signal on the daily above todays high of 154.60 along with TATASTEEL which had a 6.60% gain today & is a buy above 506.50. JINDALSTEL and STER are already trading long; the only stock in the metals pack on the index that lags is SAIL.
All the stocks in the FINANCIAL sector are non-trending.
Happy trading.
