Its just the consolidation going on, albeit with less violent choppiness.
Over the last few days several important landmarks have been attempted and tested with no great show of strength.
Yesterday, even the recent Black Monday low of 2896 was ignored.
Well, the good thing is, we may just be looking at a trading range coming up.
Id written here a few days ago that after fulfilling its near term destiny of the tryst with the 200 DMA, the Nifty would then want to test the recent low again.
If so, then I would welcome such a move, as that would be in keeping with a bottom building exerciseand we need that badly.
Its not likely to be over and done with, with the same speed as the initial fall, as much confidence building and global cues are involved.
Then at the end of the month there is the much hyped release of Ben Bernanke Apocalypse Now.
Ive read at this forum someone mention there would be another downwards circuit on the markets on June 30.
Apocalypse indeed!
The last minute sell off yesterday is a bit confusing.
Would it be weak speculators dumping suddenly and a simultaneous opportunistic shorting, is difficult to say.
What is clear over the last couple of sessions is that select stocks are being quietly accumulated. The positive a/d ratio is evidence of this.
This also lends credence to the assumption that a bottom building exercise may be under way.
For levels, the Nifty has a clear run between 2861 and 2885-2889.
Then congestion persists at 2901-2917.
For supports at this point the following numbers from yesterdays second post hold true:
If 2839 is breached, then 2814-2819 are threatened then 2796-2799.
Will update later.
