On technical charts, today was an absolute up day but has remained within the larger band. On down side nifty is taking support at its short term to medium term moving averages and on upper side it is not able to surpass 5175 level. Expiry is approaching near and shifting of positions are taking place. Volatility has come down to 24 levels much lower than the start of the series which was ruling around 33 levels. Some stability is returning to the markets. Some short of wedge has formed between 5225 and 4725 levels. Once we break this wedge formation some meaning movement in price will be witnessed.

In conclusion, today's price movement and this week's price movement compel me to change my bearish stance. On weekly charts if we observe this is 3rd week in progress which has made higher top higher bottom from the low of 4725. Though I am still bearish and not in a mood to change my bearish view. I am waiting for the break out above 5240 and 5360. I feel that this are the levels where we will see good amount of supply. If markets fail to digest this supply we might be headed lower and this entire rally from 4700 level to current level will be considered pull back of larger bear trend. We are nearing inflection point and hence it becomes imperative that we trade cautiously. Don't be shy of squaring off your losing positions at stop loss if you want to trade longer.

Happy Trading

Atul Doshi.
