Nifty: Short Term Update

September 3, 2013 . FundsIndia Desk

The Nifty has seen a sharp recovery which seems to have taken quite a few people by surprise. Rather than fretting about the lost opportunity, it would make sense to chalk out a plan of action with the new set of information from the price action. The other important aspect is that lot of people want to capture every little squiggle in price which is practically impossible. If you did not spot an opportunity, then there is no point kicking yourself for having missed it. A better approach would be to look for the next opportunity that may just be round the corner.

Let’s shift our focus to the Nifty. Featured below is the 15-minute chart of the index. Pay attention to the magenta colored horizontal line drawn off the prior swing high at 5,529.

Nifty 15 minutes

Notice how the price registered a breakout past that level yesterday. If that breakout was genuine, price ought not to have slipped below that line today. This magenta line is the make-or-break level for the Nifty. AS long as the Nifty trades below this line, we would expect a healthy correction to the lower parallel of blue pitchfork at 5,250-5,300 range.

We would view such a dip as a buying opportunity for a rally to 5,800-5,850. As long as the recent low of 5,118 is intact, we would expect a rally to 5,800 in the Nifty.

  1. Thanks for the write-up. This explains the situation briefly but not completely I guess & for people who are not so well versed with finance terminology, it is difficult to grasp the complete essence of the article.

    Could you please elaborate the points once again in simple precise bullet items? what are the learnings for the investor from here. That would be more beneficial for us..

    1. Dear Sir,

      This blog post would be useful for those who are into short-term trading in the derivatives segment. This blog post would be of little value if you are a long-term investor.

      Your point about making the copy easily comprehensible is well taken. We would try to make it even more lucid and simple going forward,
