My Nifty Analysis - June 6, 2009
My Analysis.
Here's how I see it. Note that I do all my analysis on Spot Nifty (no particular reason).
If indeed the elections were a game-changer, we want to still use technical tools, but give greater credence to more recent price action. This also allows more accurate forecasting as the fundamentals don't change drastically, but it is not so short as to let in much noise.
So I used the Fibonacci Projection tool, using the following parameters:
Start Date: 05/19/09
Start Value: 4501
End Date: 5/26/09
End Value: 4088
Projection Date: 06/05/09
Projection Value: 4630
This gives a first target, which should have the highest probability of being achieved, of 4533 (at 23.6%). If and only if that is achieved, and the price doesn't start moving back up toward 4630, then we can look a the Nifty going to 4426 (at 50%). I find in my experience that 23.6% and 50% are important levels, but 38.2% is not as useful for trading purposes, thus ignored here.
Given that we closed around 4587, that gives more than a 50-point play right away (assuming we don't get a large gap-down on Monday), and if we can build some downside momentum on the break, then a ~160 point play.
Monday should be interesting.
