This post is not designed to cast negatively on anyone, but I have never been one to subscribe to talking points.
I'm posting these charts to show a point, and keeping in mind we are traders and that is the common thread that binds all of us. In considering charts and forecasting the markets the way we do, it is trading opportunities we are seeking and not stereotypes or talking points.
The major highlighted area is from July 4, 2010 to April 24 2011. The latter date was when the DJIA began its decline, and the former date is when it began its incline. Let's say we want to trail the DJIA in trading Nifty (I almost wish trading was that easy, but then it would take away the fun of studying charts.). DJIA during that time went up 3,173 points. Nifty went up only 478 points. That is hardly a similarity to trade by.
The one candle highlighted by the oval was the week of July 31,2011, when Nifty was plundered 484 points. The one-week move alone was greater than the 9 1/2-month upmove that we are comparing to DJIA, when it increased 3,173 points.
Not good enough? Well, okay then, let's look at the dates November 7, 2010 to April 24,2011. Nifty, in those 5 1/2 months dropped 625 points, and in the same exact period of time DJIA rose 1,689 points.
Moral of the story-- Don't jump on the back of one market just because another market is doing something else.
