Nifty for 12 Sep 07

These are my personal musings. These are not in any way meant to be trading advise. To view the full chart, right click and open in a new window.

As we can see, for the last few trading sessions, the Nifty has moved in a tightly coiled range of about 100 points. When a trading range of 100 points in one day is normal, the market is telling us something. It is suggesting that it does not want to move fast now, but later, when it moves, the directional move could be explosive.

With the index refusing to move down, it is quite probable that we may even not see a deep enough correction.

The short term trend is still down. As far as deciding about the short term trend is concerned, our levels of yesterday still stand. For tomorrow, if the high of 4539 is not violated, and if the low of 4452 is broken on the downside, then we can expect the trend to continue down. If none of these levels are broken, then the trend would remain sideways. As of now, the Nifty still seems to be consolidating rather than correcting. It could gather more downside momentum within a few days.

The projected downside target of around 4300 still stands. These dips may be used to buy in. Of course, without saying, we must keep our stops to avoid disastrous loss of capital.

The main trend is still up, and trades could be placed in the direction of the main trend.

Plan your trades and trade happy.
