Daily Market Trend Guide -- Wednesday, August 12, 2015

MARKET REPORT                                                                          August 12, 2015
The Markets continued to wear a bearish undertone and continued to correct very much on expected lines while ending yet another day with losses while testing its 200-DMA. The Markets saw a modestly negative opening and never nearly traded positive throughout the day. After opening on modestly negative note the Markets traded with capped gains and trended sideways in the morning trade. It was the afternoon trade which saw some significant weakness creeping in. The Markets transformed itself into falling downward sloping trajectory and kept forming gradual lows. It went on to form the day’s low at 8441.30 in the late afternoon trade. The Markets attempted to take support at its 200-DMA and some minor recovery was seen after that. The Markets finally ended the day at 8462.35, posting a net loss of 63.25 points or 0.74% while continuing to form a lower top and lower bottom on the Daily Bar Charts.


MARKET TREND FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2015
Markets face a critically important session today. Expect the Markets to open on a negative note today, probably below its 200-DMA levels. These levels would be critical to watch out for. It would be crucially important to see if the Markets attempt to take support at these levels at Close and improve as the session progresses. If it does not happen, then we are probably heading for much weaker days ahead. Reason being, even if we keep aside fundamental development such as devaluation of Yuan, the Markets is anyway getting structurally weaker.

For today, the levels of 8510 and 8550 will act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports come in at 8450 and 8390 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 48.7573 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD is bearish as it trades below its signal line after reporting negative crossover yesterday.
On the derivative front, the NIFTY August futures have shed over 36,000 shares in or just 0.22% in Open Interest. This is negligible figure and does not signify any major unwinding of positions.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have not only resisted to the upward rising pattern resistance drawn from 8000-levels, it is also forming a potentially bearish Head and Shoulders formation. This formation is not classical but little vague but it is still valid. However, the silver lining is, that just below the possible neckline, there are three DMAs, i.e. 200-DMA, 100-DMA and 50-DMA respectively. These increase the chances of the Markets to take support at these levels respectively s they appear. However, if the Markets breach the neckline, then the measuring implication of this pattern will make the Markets see some more downsides in coming sessions.

Overall, the Markets are getting technically weaker each passing day. The longer the Markets remain in this structure without any pullback, the weaker it will get. It would be very important for the Markets to saw a sharp pullback in coming days and make the potentially bearish H&S pattern invalid. However, now, with each dip, chances of some more weakness creeping in will increase. Keeping this in view, it is advised to refrain from taking fresh positions and maintain liquidity and strong caution in the Markets.
