Nifty P&F analysis: Nifty at resistance! ‘O’ remain exciting!!

Nifty at resistance! ‘O’ remain exciting!!
Date: 20th January 2014

Nifty bounced from support level of 6170 to test 6340+ levels during last week to close near 6260 on Friday. P&F chart column has turned to ‘O’ on Friday that has triggered the short trade with stoploss of four boxes.

Chart analysis:

As mentioned during last post, I am anticipating lower levels going forward. There are benefits of attaching methods to anticipation or analysis. As explained, I wanted ‘O’ to arrive for trading short which happened on Friday that generated the trade. And due to this I have not been shorting the price that is going up but shorted it when it stopped going up and with logical stop in place.

Figure 1 is 10 box chart plotted with closing prices. Price witnessed sharp bounce from support levels and tested the Upper Bollinger Band. Colum turning to ‘O’ from upper band confirms the resistance and indicates some downside even if it has to remain sideways for a while.

Figure 2 is 10 box chart plotted with High Low prices. Price tested the Upper Bollinger Band in this chart as well. Shrinking band indicates price squeeze and some indecision or uncertainty that is prevailing in the market at the moment. Bull Trap bearish signal will be generated below 6230 in this chart hence this level becomes important.

Figure 3 is Weekly candlestick chart of Nifty. Last week candle is a bearish shooting star that has occurred near levels of Bearish Engulfing pattern that was formed 2 weeks before (Both are circled in the chart). This indicates some supply that is coming at higher levels and possibility of downside in the prices going forward.

Overall setup is negative and there are some confirmations as well. But shrinking bands are indicating range that is becoming narrower and trend is more of sideways at the moment. Breach of 6230 will strengthen the bearish view. Price is trading above bullish objective line at the moment hence I would like to treat 6330 as a reversal level. One should not remain short above the same.

P&F strategy for next week:

Trade ‘O’s and trade Double Bottom sell signals unless price trading above 6330.
