weekly technicals for week ending 28 august 09
the indicators in the monthly charts continue to generate bullish signals. Monthly rsi having moved up to 57 levels is signaling further up move. The strongest monthly signal being 8 month moving average coming from below 13 month moving average to cross it to move above it, is the strongest long term bullish signal which is occurring first time after sept 04.all in all markets are looking extremely bullish for the long term.
In the weakly charts, the indicators do not look encouraging after the lower weekly closing of nifty. Weekly stochastic looks dangerous for further falls if the week ahead does not see a good bullish closing. Weekly rsi although at 62 is drooping downwards. Weekly macd and adx are also not looking encouraging. Weekly roc at 1.2 negative and weekly cci drooping downwards are not at all encouraging signals in the weekly charts. However since the markets are in a flat range, the bearish signals by the weekly indicators lose their significance.
However amidst these dull weekly signals from the weekly indicators above, the weekly moving averages depict highly bullish signals.20 week moving average at 4155 having breached 34 wma at 3626, has breached 50 wma at 3484 & 200 wma at 3939. Further strength comes from the cross over of long term exponential moving averages where 50 week exponential average now at 3898 has decisively crossed 200 wema at 3688 & moving to breach 100 wema now at 3924. These cross overs are taking place for the first time after june 2003 around which time the previous bull market had started. So, long term investors should boldly accumulate on every decline for excellent gains over the long term.
Contrast to the weekly indicators above, the same indicators in the daily charts have started to generate bullish signals. Daily stochastic has turned up before entering the lower zone. Daily macd although looks shaky, is still above the neutral line. Daily roc has moves up from negative to +1. Daily rsi has turned up from sub 50 levels to 53 level. Interestingly the fridays range of nifty was between 4400 to 4539 and within this range has all the daily moving averages of 5, 8,13,20,34 & 50 with 20 at the top of the range at 4539 and 50 dma at the bottom around 4400.so another day or two of close above 4539 can surely indicate mega bullish signals, but another fall during the week to slip below 4400 levels which although looks most unlikely, if it happens, may spell real danger for nifty. So technically, one can expect a bullish week with the expiry around 4600 or higher levels.
