MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, AUGUST 07, 2015

Today’s analysis continues to remain once again more or less on similar lines that of yesterday. The Markets are likely to open again on modestly negative note and look for directions. The Markets are likely to once again continue to consolidate on broad lines but the under currents in  the Markets are seen getting buoyant as suggested by F&O data and lead indicators. However, until the consolidation continues, the Markets will continue to trade with some amount of volatility ingrained in it.

For today, the levels of 8610 and 8650 will act as immediate resistance levels. The supports come in bit lower at 8550 and 8510 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 57.7128 and it continues to remain neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence. The Daily MACD has reported a positive crossover and it now trades above its signal line and is bullish.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY August series has added further over 2.28 lakh shares or 1.37% in Open Interest. This signifies that there has been no offloading of long positions and also some moderate buying has been seen. In any case, this is not a weakening indicator / figure.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have continued to resist to the rising trend line drawn from 8000-levels. As mentioned often in our previous editions of Daily Market Trend Guide, this lines is now a resistance for the Markets. It was a support which the Markets breached on the downside. For the Markets to resume it’s up move, it will have to move past this rising resistance line with volumes and conviction and stay above that. Until that happens, the Markets will continue to consolidate in a broad trading range.

Overall, the Markets may open weak but it is likely to consolidate and even see some improvement as day progresses. However, so long as it continues to trade below its resistance, it would remain susceptible to profit taking bouts from higher levels. However, lead indicators and F&O data suggest some buoyancy building up inherently. Overall, any dips can be continued to be utilized for making fresh purchases.
