WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR AUG 21 THRU AUG 25, 2017

WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK FOR AUG 21 THRU AUG 25, 2017
The Friday’s session saw developments at Infosys weighing heavy but still the benchmark NIFTY50 ended the week on a positive note gaining 126.60 points or 1.30% on Weekly basis. The coming week is once again a short one with Friday being a trading holiday on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. The reading for the coming week remains pretty clear. Neither the Markets see any runway resumption of up move nor will it see any major breakdown. It trades in a broad upward rising channel and will continue to do so trading in a defined range.

The Markets will see the levels of 9950 and 10150 as its immediate resistance levels while supports will come in at 9685 and 9580 levels.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Weekly Chart is 64.0066 and it remains neutral showing no divergence against the price. The Weekly MACD has just turned bearish and it trades below its signal as it has reported a negative crossover.

If we look at Pattern Analysis, we see the Markets trading in a long 18-month upward rising channel. The Markets tested the upper resistance line of this channel and has resisted around this. Even if we see some ranged correction, we will see the Markets trading comfortably in this upward rising channel as evident in the Weekly Chart.

Overall, we see the Markets trading range bound and it is not likely to show any runaway resumption of up move.  Action is likely to remain limited to remain highly sector specific and select pockets will show outperformance in the Markets. We recommend not getting carried away with any sharp up move and use all dips, if any, to make select purchases. Shorts should be avoided.

A study of Relative Rotation Graphs – RRG tells that ENERGY stocks will now start showing relative out performance against the NIFTY. We will also see continued out-performance in METAL Stocks. IT and PHARMA are likely to struggle to consolidate and are expected to remain range bound in coming week. Apart from this, we will see broader Indices like NIFTYJR, CNX100 to improve as well. Not much is expected from REALTY. BANKNIFTY is likely to see loss of momentum and underperformance can be expected from MEDIA stocks.

Important Note: RRG™ charts show you the relative strength and momentum for a group of stocks. In the above Chart, they show relative performance as against NIFTY Index and should not be used directly as buy or sell signals.
