MARKET TREND FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2015

Though the Markets have rebounded yesterday, the rise has come in purely on account of short covering. The Markets continue to trade in a broad range and today we can expect the Markets to open on a flat to modestly negative note. The Markets are expected to remain bit weak in coming days unless it moves out from a broad trading range that it has formed over couple of days. Today’s opening and the intraday trajectory formed thereafter will play a crucial role to determine the trend. The technical indicators and overall structure suggest some minor weakness to continue in the Markets.

For today, the levels of 7860 and 7910 will act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports come in at 7765 and 7680 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 41.7189 and it remains neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swings. The Daily MACD continues to remain bearish as it trades below its signal line.

On derivative front, the NIFTY November futures have shed over 9.59 lakh shares or 5.49% in Open Interest. This is a clear evidence of short covering in the Markets yesterday. The NIFTY PCR stands at 0.79 as against 0.72 yesterday.

Coming to pattern analysis, the Markets have not shown any significant pullback after forming recent lows. The pullbacks have met with subsequent selling on the other day and this phenomenon has formed a broad trading range / congestion on the Daily Charts. The Markets have certainly attempted to form a bottom but it has not confirmed it so far. Also, all the pullbacks have resulted in to heavy reduction in Open Interests. For the Markets to confirm the pullbacks, it will need up moves supported by fresh long positions. It is important to note that any short term weakness, if at all any, will increase the possibilities of the Markets testing its pattern supports of 7680.

Overall, currently the Markets continue to remain much in the no-trade zone. So far as taking a view is concerned, it is much evident that the Markets are completely lacking directional bias and are oscillating in a given zone. Though the lower levels are met with short covering, it is not being supported by buying as such. We continue to reiterate to keep the exposures very selective and limited while continuing to adopt a cautious outlook on the Markets.
