Nifty -18 Jul 2014 - Bullish trend may assert

NR7 day formed with Nifty posing Bullish. Upmove to continue post testing supports.

As discussed yesterday, the Nifty stayed in "Bullish equilibrium" as the markets traded in a narrow range at the top end of the current trading range. The formation is extremely bullish and should eventually trap weak bears. The Nifty opened with a negative gap down of 12 points at 7613 and then lingered in a tight range of just 43 points, but keeping its open low same. The Nifty made a high of 7656 before closing at 7640 with a gain of 16 points over its previous close.

1) The Elder Ray readings : Bull Power rises from +61 to +88 Bear Power reduces from -46 to +25 indicating that now he Bulls have dislodged the Bears out of their safe zone. For today, the Bulls need to overcome the levels of 7665 to maintain their upwards momentum whereas the Bears need to breach the Nifty below the levels of 7595 to regain their lost grounds.

2) The stochastics stay in the neutral zone and are pointing upwards.

3) The Nifty continues to close above all its key EMAs and also above all its key DMAs.

 

4) In the above chart, the volumes have stagnated with the rise in the Nifty, indicating caution amongst the participants. The MACD continues with its attempt to signal a buy, with the histogram rising but staying in the negative. The ADX is suggesting a pause in the Bullish momentum but still favors the Bulls. The Parabolic SAR continues with its Sell signal with the SL now brought down to 7659.

5) Considering the above, our trading plan for the day is as under.

a) Around 7575 we will open fresh long positions with a SL of 7550 and a target of 7695. We will add to these long positions only above 7725.

b) Around 7705 we will open fresh short positions with a SL of 7725 and a target of 7580. We will add to these short positions only below 7550.

Happy Trading !!!
