Nifty Weekly Update - Week Ended 24th January

Nifty Weekly Update for week ended 24th January 2009.

Nifty movement during the entire week has been exactly as indicated my last weeks update. Nifty has opened on slightly higher than the previous weeks open and there after continuously fell for last four days. Nifty movement during the week is pointing towards inherent weakness in the market participants. Nifty during the week has broken below the very strong support level at 2800 and subsequently 2700 also indicating the weakness has set in the market and we have all the chances of nifty moving further down sides. Nifty has made five week low on Friday and nearly closed at the lowest point of the week indicating that there is good amount of weakness in the market. The movement during the week is indicating that we might head towards the December lows of 2570 and 2503 and if 2503 is broken then there is only one support at the October 2008 low of 2203. Nifty has fallen continuously for four days indicating that we might see indices falling for at-least another day to complete Fibonacci of five days. Another point to be noted is that nifty has been falling for the last three weeks and the fall has erased the five weeks raise indicating that the fall is faster than the raise and once again indicating that we are still in the bear market. Till this phenomenon is reversed we will be making new lows. Nifty during the current weeks has given a significant direction to the market which appears to be down. Till its recent high of 2869 is taken out we have all chances of nifty moving further down sides towards October lows. So you know where to keep stop loss if any shorting has been done. Another point to be noted is that the fall all through the last two week has been on higher volumes indicating that bears are still holding upper hand. One point which I have been discussing for last few weeks is the 20 Day EMA nifty is still below the 20 Day EMA and falling, 20 D EMA is at 2840 so any shorts have to be closed once nifty moves above 20 Day EMA. The coming week is a truncated week and also derivatives settlement week which generally associated with huge amount of volatility in the market and we should be careful in making any trades so while putting stop loss we should take into account volatility into account.

Elliott Wave Analysis:
Last few weeks I have been discussion two scenarios one is triangle and also flat. And as per EW it appears that the triangle pattern does not hold good which I have indicated last week and we will now discuss Flat Pattern only.

As it can be seen from the first chart we have completed an irregular flat at 3147 and we have started the fifth wave and general phenomenon is that the fifth wave should go below the low of the third wave which is at 2223 which is still some four hundred points away. But there are can be a cases of fifth wave failure where in the fifth wave does not go below the low of the third wave. Generally fifth wave failure occurs when the third wave is very much longer that the first wave and in the current case it appears that the 3rd wave is more that 2.618 times the first wave, giving an indication that we might see a fifth wave failure in the current case. If there is a fifth wave failure then we might see the fifth wave not breaking below the 2223 level and it will make a low any where between 2400-2223 level. Fifth wave failure is not a necessicity when 3rd wave is elongated but most of the times it happens so this has been discussed currently so as to make you updated on this aspect also so that you are not caught unwares.

The break up of the fifth wave is given in the second chart and it appears that we have completed the first two waves and we have just started the 3rd wave after which fourth and fifth wave will occur. Generally the 3rd wave is the most violent of all the waves giving an indication that we might see markets moving very fast as we appear to be in the third wave. So be prepared for the ride.

Direction Momentum index (DMI):
DMI which determines the strength of trend be it an uptrend or the down trend is one of my favorites. This time when the markets were falling for the last three weeks DMI started to raise from the lower levels of 13 to currently at 19.93. Any move of it above 20 will confirm the trend which is down currently and the pace of the down move will increase a DMI inches upwards. As the peculiar feature of DMI is that once it moves above 20 we might see sudden reversal and suddenly it follows the primary trend. Considering this we might see a sharp but short move up in the current week in may be one or two days and then we may say nifty tanking to October lows. So keep a close watch on DMI

Resistances: 2750/2800/2869/2950/3000
Supports: 2570/2503/2223
Turtle Trading- Four Week Phenominon
Last week has indicated that as per Turtle Trade Go Short if it goes below 2700 as this week it has gone below 2700 if any body has gone short on nifty here are probable square off levels
Stop Loss: if Nifty Moves above 2869
ATR is at 105 so the double ATR is 210 so Further shourt positions should be added only once nift moves below 2500 with a stop loss at 2600.

Nifty Update For week ended 17th Jan 2009



Movement of nifty for the current week has left all of the markets in a fix. Nifty is see-saing daily i.e one day up and another day down all through the week the movement was the same. One day it gives a down ward break out and on the next day the entire fall is erased indicating that there is a tug-of-war between bull and bears and who ever wins the market will move a big way in that direction. Nifty during the whole week has lost 45 points from its previous weeks close. This week is the second successive week of loss for nifty.



All through the week nifty has been moving in a range of 2700-2850-2900 any break of these lines will result in a big movement in that direction. One negative feature which has to be observed is that when ever nifty fall the volumes are heavy and nifty raises on less volumes indicating that still bears are in control of the market. Till 3250 is voilated bears will be in upper hand once it is broken bulls will gain upper hand. The movemnt of nifty during the week has clearly indicated the indecisiveness of the market participants.



It has been indicated that nifty has formed a extremely bearish "Dark Cloud Cover" pattern as per candle and stick parlace. I have also indicated that this pattern does not require confirmation. Till the high of 3147 is voilated the implications of this pattern stay good. But generally there is a tendency of the markets to just go near the low of the pattern and reverse from there in a big way. The movement during the week has just confirmed that and in the comming weeks we might see the indices confirming the implications of the pattern. Again I say that till the high is voilated we might see nifty drifting towards October 08 lows.


The movement of nifty during the week has given a good support and resistance levels. The support and resistances indicated by nifty are support at 2700 and resistance at 2850-2900 so any break of these levels we should eight initiate long or short positions.


This week also nifty has stayed below the 20 day EMA which is at 2900 till nifty is below this short positions can be held and once it moves above it short positins should be closed and long positions can be taken with stop loss at 20 day EMA.

Elliotte wave analysis:

Option-I Triangle

Last week i have indicated that if nifty does not make an attempt to move towards 2978 the minimum retracement level for wave-e. It can be assumed that the pattern formed is not a triangle and we might have formed flat. So i will not discuss the same as the chances of triangle are remote in the current scenerio.



Option - II- Flat

As per this pattern it appears that we might have compleated a wave-C of the flat which is the final wave of the flat it implies that might see nifty drifting down wards towards 2500 level. Any break below 2700 has all chances of nifty moving towards 2500 and if that is broken then we have all the chances of nifty moving towards oct 08 level of 2200. So wait and see what will unflod in the comming week.


Support and resistance:


Support:2800/2700/2500/2200


Resistances:2850/2950/3100/3240


Turtle Trading: 4 week phenominon


Go long if nifty closes above:3147


Go short if nifty moves below:2700


DMA: The movement of DMA for nifty will indicate the strength of the trend be it bull strength or the bear strength. Current -D1 line is above +D1 line and DMI has moved from 13 to 17 in the current week indicating that bears are still in upper hand and are gaining strength. IF DMA moves above 20 it will confirm the bear strength and nifty will drift further.


So You know how to trade.
