Market in a selling frenzy, wait for Nifty to cross 11,171 to take a long-term call

Strong bear grip accompanied by high VIX implies we are closer to a selling climax in the market.


 RIPPLES ADVISORY



Nifty closed below all short-term moving averages, 5-DMA (11,000), 20-DMA (11,335) and 50-DMA (11,344) putting the market in a strong bear grip.

The strength of bear can be seen from the fact that market opened gap up consecutively for last three trading sessions but on each of these sessions, it closed sharply lower.

India VIX is trading at the highest level of the week around 17.00 and gained almost 10% in last week along with fall of prices implies higher volatility in the market with a bearish bias.Interestingly, India VIX is making higher high almost since last 5 weeks, but it’s now heading closer to its short-term resistance of 19. And VIX always exhibits mean reversion.

Strong bear grip accompanied by high VIX implies we are closer to a selling climax in the market.

In terms of levels, strong upward sloping trend line on the weekly time frame and 200-DMA around 10,770 levels are likely to provide support to prices and immediate trading range would be 11,170 on higher side and 10,770 on the lower side.

At the same time, occurrence of a double bottom with positive divergence on the lower time frame, suggests fall can stall on lower levels.

On the higher side, lower time frame downward sloping trend line breakout will be only above 11,170. One should selectively start buying around 10,770 but an aggressive trader should wait for Nifty to cross 11,171 before taking a long view of the market.

Bank Nifty remains the weak pocket of the market. It is now firmly below its 200 days moving average and the price pattern is still not showing signs of bottoming out possible awaiting RBI credit policy ahead.
