Wish you all and your families a very Happy, prosperous and safe Deepaawali. So it was a short trading week and hence low volume, also due to auspicious occasion typically market are pushed higher during this period. So lets see, What are charts telling us and where is this market headed?
Below we can see two charts:
Considering we are in a Mega BULL market the ONLY past period we can compare to is during 2003-2004.
What are we looking at in both charts?
2014 current chart -
At present, our market might be giving us subtle clues of what is coming in next few weeks or months ahead. However, nothing is certain or guaranteed in the markets. Remember, it is a game of probability and as long as we remain on right side of the market, we have better odds of staying in the game.
Based on current chart, it appears that BULLs get the benefit of doubt this time around, however we need to be cautious as this week was short and low trading volume. Next week shall provide us with a better picture.

- 2003-2004 chart
Considering we are in a Mega BULL market the ONLY past period we can compare to is during 2003-2004.
What are we looking at in both charts?
- Nifty in relation to its MA(100) line
- McClellan index in relation to its EMA(59) and direction of McClellan index
2014 current chart -
- Nifty managed to bounce of MA(100) line, will it continue going forward!!! - As long as, Nifty remains above MA(100) benefit of doubt goes to BULLs
- McClellan Index is below EMA(59) and trending down suggesting to be cautious
- Nifty was moving in a range, broke MA(100) twice before the actual drop - plenty of warning signs
- McClellan Index crossed EMA(59) much before Nifty crossed MA(100) and was trending down much before the actual market drop

Nifty re-gained its MA(50) support, BUT can it remain above it? MA(50) would have acted as resistance in normal circumstances, however it was festival season and laxmi pujan which is related to money. See the gaps in volume bars due to holidays. Typically, during Diwali week, market is pushed higher and cannot be trusted just based on that week.
Weekly chart also shows that market is back above WMA(10) line.
So, we have a bit of a mixed signal based on data from this week. Last week, it seemed like market might experience further downside which does not appear to be the case anymore! Next week shall clear any doubts. If market moves above 8050 area then the rally might continue, however make sure you have a STOP below 7700. This is NOT an ideal low risk entry as market might form a range here.
