This market appears to defy gravity and continues its way higher yet again. An impressive rally in last three days has enabled the market to break out of the consolidation zone. BUT where is our pullback? Have we missed the train!!!
Below chart provides two important piece of information:
- Nifty has managed to get above MA(100) and MA(200) - suggesting strong trend reversal
- McClellan Index has managed to stay above EMA(59) - suggesting more stocks are advancing than declining on cumulative basis which in turn suggest that more stocks are participating in this market rally
Daily Nifty chart shows that market has broken out of consolidation resistance zone, however RSI is very close to crossing 70 area which would put market into overbought territory. Next minor resistance lies near 8300 area followed by 8500-8600 area.
A decisive market move above down trend line suggest a possible trend reversal, also RSI and PPO breakout out of their down trend lines supporting this market trend reversal. All signs are suggesting that we have a market trend reversal at hand and underway.
Take a look at below 8 year Nifty weekly chart, observe the two rectangular shaded areas. Can you spot any similarities?
- Market under went trend reversal during these periods
- In 2012 it was start of the BULL run and now it might be start of the massive BULL run ahead of us
- Take a look at dotted trend line in 2012 and 2016 areas
- In both scenarios, RSI breaks through the dotted trend line before the BULL run
- In both scenarios, PPO breaks through the dotted trend line before the BULL run
- In 2012, as soon as RSI reaches 70 mark after the break of trend line, market experiences significant pullback
- Check 2012 area near dotted trend line, market appears to break it followed by a serious pullback. We have yet to see a similar pullback in 2016 and that does not guarantee we will get one!
Let's face the facts:
Market has confirmed a trend reversal by breaking the down trend line and McClellan Index is supporting it. However, previous historical pattern suggest that we should expect a meaningful pullback before any significant long term rally ahead. But we can also argue that it is our bias or possible denial of missing the train. We can often see patterns which we want to see in historical data to suffice our reasoning. Remember, market often does what it wants and tries to cause maximum pain.
For now we know for certain that we have confirmation of trend reversal, which means we can get back into market. In an event if we do get a meaningful pullback then that would be another awesome opportunity to invest. We need to keep an open mind and accept the facts, be flexible and keep our bias out of facts, even if it means we are wrong!
