As expected, the moment market entered resistance zone it was rejected hard. As a result, we saw last weeks pullback. What does this really mean?

Ask yourself:
- Do you have any perception about where the markets are headed in next 3-6-12 months?
- If you do have slightest indication then Do you have a plan?
- Just having a plan is NOT enough but DO you know when and how to execute it?

Nothing has changed as per below McClellan Index chart. Nifty is still above MA(100), however converging fast towards it. Also MA(100) and MA(200) lines appear to be converging towards each other. McClellan Index in bottom portion of the chart remains below EMA(59) and MA(100) suggesting number of declining stocks is stabilizing however we DO NOT see any signs of change anytime soon. Instead in coming weeks we might see McClellan Index continue its journey downwards and eventually the market will breakdown into bear territory.
After initial rejection at NEW HIGH, we expect market to make few attempts of come back before losing the battle to bears. Hence expect lot of zig-zag action and of-course lot of chatter on news/blogs/etc.
We can clearly see that as soon as market was in resistance area, it was rejected. BULL market DOES NOT reverse in 1 take and shall stage a nice fight in coming weeks which indicates that market will become more volatile and possibly move in a range before eventually deciding the final direction.
Synopsis:
As expected at the beginning of this year, we are now experiencing possible topping pattern. Market may continue to remain in a very wide range (5600-6300) with lot of volatile action. The important thing for us is to remain calm and NOT get caught in all the noise yet be patient. In coming weeks/months, market may drop below MA(100) and also MA(200) quickly, possibly try to stabilize and stage a snap back rally above MA(200), MA(100). However, we believe that the snap back will be short lived and we shall see eventual fate of this market. This entire episode could take anywhere from 3-6 months and we shall get plenty of opportunity along with warning signs to exit the market. The KEY is to have a plan & execute it appropriately as we see signs of trouble.
What does this mean for our Investments?
Market still bullish yet be cautious...

What does this mean for our Investments?
- Mutual Funds - Stay invested as long as Nifty remains above MA(100) or possibly MA(200) line. Remember, we DO NOT have to exit at specific date or time but need to have a sense of approximate timing to exit. But what do we do we the money once we are out of the market? Well, one can start looking at good rated debt/bond funds or may be FDs or ETFs (such as liquidBEES) or simply stay in cash.
- Stocks - If market changes its course then it would be wise to stay in cash or have strict STOP LIMIT on our open positions. Preservation of capital should be our TOP priority.
