Thank you Josh, your analysis is quite detailed and compelling. Appreciate your efforts.
However, this time I tried to establish where market will move in long term. That is not good for our bank balance. I should not do that. It is better to stick to identify the trend, stick to trend lines and pivots and trade as per market moves.
Right now market is moving sideways in 5638-5730 range. It is better to go long above it and short below it. Another strategy could be to short near 5730 and go long near 5638 with double stop.
Another thing I observed is that Nifty moves in tandem with Hang Seng instead of DOW 8 out of 10 times. A peek at Hang Seng in the morning gives idea where it is heading.
