Sensex (18197) / Nifty (5482)
In our previous Weekly report, we had mentioned that if Indices
manage to trade above 18766 / 5645 level, a "Bullish
Triangular" pattern could take indices to their next resistance
level of 19132 / 5740. Also, we had mentioned that there was
a possibility of high volatility in the coming trading sessions
due to the RBI's monetary policy and derivatives expiry. During
the initial part of the last week, indices broke out from the
mentioned level and registered a high of 18945 / 5702.
However, the "RBI Monetary Policy" on Tuesday turned the tables
and markets corrected sharply from the highs to test support
levels of 18223 - 18326 / 5496 - 5468. The Sensex ended
with a loss of 2.80%, whereas the Nifty lost 2.70% vis-à-vis the
previous week.
Pattern Formation
􀂄 The Daily chart of the Indices depicts a "Doji" candlestick
formation which indicates indecisiveness prevailing at the current
level. (Refer exhibit 2)
􀂄 We are observing that prices have closed near 50%
Fibonacci retracement level of an upside rally from 17314 to
19132 / 5195 to 5740 levels. (Refer exhibit 2)
􀂄 Also, on the Weekly chart, the RSI momentum oscillator
has convincingly slipped below the 50 mark after nearly 3-4
weeks. RSI sustaining below the 50 level is a sign of weakness.
(Refer exhibit 1)
Future Outlook
Markets fell from their high of 18945 / 5702 registered in the
initial part of the week after the announcement of "RBI Monetary
Policy" and breached 18415 - 18326 / 5532 - 5496 level which
was acting as a strong support zone since the previous few

trading sessions. Going forward, if indices break Friday's high
of 18335 / 5521, then they may bounce back to the levels of
18538 -18771 / 5577 - 5648. On the downside,
18131 / 5453 level (Friday's low) may provide a support. The
violation of this low may reinforce the negative momentum and,
in such a case, indices may test 18000 - 17800 / 5400 - 5345
levels.
We advise traders to stay light on their positions and trade
with proper stop losses.
