markets for 01 sept 09
as expected, nifty after 7 consecutive days of rise, had to correct and the correction was more of showing some sort of solidarity with asian markets. Nifty could not sustain above the 4700 mark and fell to breach fridays lows of 4651 to go down till 4635 and bounced from the 50 hour ema from there and closed 70 points lower around 4661. So, in relation to its previous day, nifty made a lower high, lower low and lower closing. Till such time nifty does not nullify 2 out of these 3 lower parameters of high, low & closings, the weakness will remain with nifty for another day or two. Actually speaking, there is no inherent weakness in nifty, but the external influence of weakness in asian markets is pulling it down. The day asian markets recover, more so if china recovers, one can see nifty shooting up like a rocket towards new yearly highs.
If one has a look at the hourly chart above, one will notice that on monday nifty took support around the 50 hour ema around 4631 levels. So, if on tuesday, nifty is again influenced by weakness in asian markets, then it can slide towards firstly 50 ema around 4631 and if this is breached then 200 ema around 4611 levels should bring in heavy buying support. Slow stochastic showing signs of turning up before entering the lower zone is a bullish signal for nifty and if it does not enter the lower zone, one can see another sharp up move on tuesday after initial weakness incase triggered by weak chinese market. In any case the start of the gap zone around 4582 levels is a strong support for nifty. It looks like markets may pause or mildly correct till wednesday after which the up move may resume with a lot of vigor to make new highs
FOR INTRADAY TRADING ON TUESDAY, IN CASE ASIAN MARKETS CONTINUE WITH THE WEAKNESS, THEN ONE MUST TRADE LIGHT ON THE LONG SIDE AND MAY WAIT TILL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TO TRADE LONG AND HOLD LONGS FOR THURSDAY. APPROACH OF NIFTY TOWARDS 4700 TO 4720 MAY BE WELCOMED WITH SHORTING POWER AND IN CASE NIFTY FALLS TOWARDS 4600 THEN ONE MAY BUY FOR QUICK GAINS. IT IS WISER TO WAIT WITH PATIENCE FOR THE RIGHT TRADE SETUP TO ENTER AND WAIT FOR THE TARGET, INSTEAD OF ENTERING EARLY & HAVING STOP LOSS TRIGGERED.
