Nifty Daily Update 10th Oct 2017: One more narrow range day.

Big Picture Oct 10th

Market traded in a narrow but green range above yesterday's close. It closed above 10016.95 gaining 28.2 points over yesterday's closed.

The advance decline ratio was 1.45 while HiLo score was 81.54% - an increase from the 75% score of yesterday. Market sentiments was positive as all broad market indices closed in the green. Apart from Realty and FMCG other sectors closed in green.



Candle Stick Analysis

  • The day witnessed another narrow range, in fact the narrowest range since July 2017. 
  • In addition the open and close were just 3 points away creating a doji for a second day in a row.
  • The below average range and doji formation indicates on a below average volume of 8055 crores indicate that smart money has been steadily supplying meeting all the demand that came from the retail public or domestic institutions.
  • A gap up opening and trading above yesterday's close was clearly an invitation to pass on the positions to the weaker hands. 
  • My reading of the market is that the first two days of the current week is a trap for retail investors to join the party, masking the underlying tone of weakness. 
  • After two narrow range days, we can expect some big movement in the remaining part of the week. As mentioned, today's candle was not just a narrow range of last 7 days but of the last 60+ trading sessions. So a break out or break down is in the horizon.

Trend and Momentum Analysis 

  • The close above 10K and trading above previous close and 10K though out the day is a psychological boost for the retail participant.
  • Technically speaking, the Nifty is trading above all key moving averages of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 days.
  • It is trading close to the 5 day moving average indicating a neutral rather than bullish sentiment. This market indecisiveness at the top of the current rally is also depicted by the 2 doji candles (see chart above).
  • The daily RSI is slowly building up and is now above 50, considered to be bullish.
  • The weekly RSI has bounced back nicely and is clearly bullish ranging above 60.

India Vix and Nifty Options Data

  • India Vix fell by 2.46% indicating bullish activity in the Nifty options market
  • The Nifty PCR Ratio for Oct Series stands at 1.14 (normal)
  • Put volumes stood at 593K and call volumes at 583K close to par.
  • 9800 and 10000 continue to be the support and resistance strike prices based on Outstanding OI
  • Interestingly about 188K short build up was seen in the 10000 call strike though Nifty opened above 10K and traded above 10K through out the day. 
  • Unless there is a shifting of the resistance to a higher number, the presumption would be that the Index will correct once the smart money pulls the trigger. 

Outlook for next trading session

Nifty range for 11th Oct 9960 to 10074 with support at 9931 and resistance at 10104
Bank Nifty Range for 11th Oct 24242 to 24397 with support at 24087 and resistance at resistance at 24485
